Chapter 809 Mysterious Organization
The light shone down on them from above.
Natalie also took a good look at the man’s face. He had a mustache and beard, partly concealing his deep-set features. His long eyes were cold yet familiar.
I’m sure I’ve seen these eyes somewhere before!
Suddenly, a memory flashed across her mind, and she recognized him as the man she had saved in the outback.
“It’s you!” Natalie narrowed her eyes at him. “I never hoped to ask you to repay my kindness for saving your life, but if you still have a conscience, I hope you can give me the antidote. That antidote is more important than my life.”
I’m willing to trade myself for the antidote if I can save Samuel.
Confirming it was Natalie, Benjamin immediately released his hold from her neck. “You have been talking about this antidote from the start. What is it?”
“Aren’t you Yara’s accomplice?” Natalie asked chillingly. “Then you should know she had a poison that accelerated aging. I want the antidote to that poison.”
Benjamin realized that Natalie had misunderstood. She had mistaken him for a member of Blaze.
“I’m not Yara’s accomplice, and I have no idea what poison you’re talking about.” Benjamin took off his windbreaker and flung it over his shoulder. He reached for a cigarette from his pocket, set it between his lips, and lighted the end with a lighter. “However, I’m sure you and I have the same target. We’re both looking for Blaze’s hideout. The thing you’re looking for is most likely there.”
“You are?”
“Benjamin Millers,” he introduced himself. “I’m from Loang and am here to investigate Blaze’s lair. I found out the Nichols family had a close relation to Blaze. The Nichols family had gone bankrupt overnight, and Thomas’ mentally-ill wife had murdered him. Since all the clues from the living were gone, I figured I should come here and try my luck.”
Natalie repeated, “Blaze?”
“Never heard of it? It’s a secret organization established over two decades ago. They dabbled in firearms, drugs, virtual currencies, gambling, etc. You name it, and they’ve done it. They’re a criminal organization traveling outside the law,” Benjamin explained.
Natalie’s mind was blown away by Benjamin’s explanation. I didn’t know who the organization that secretly supported Thomas was. Now I finally understood how an organization like Blaze could uproot a strong and old family like the Bayer family.
I suspect Granddad’s death and Mother’s pain as she left her family are related to Blaze. Now, even Samuel’s poisoning is their doing.
“What about you? What’s your name?” Benjamin questioned.
“Natalie Nichols.” Natalie answered truthfully, “I’m on the same side as you, an enemy of Blaze.”
Benjamin met Natalie’s gaze and said, “No matter what, I owe you one for saving my life. If I found the antidote from their lair, I’ll hand it over to you.”
After that interlude with Benjamin, Natalie didn’t want to have a deeper conversation with him. She only wanted to crack the secret of the moon.
She whirled around, wanting to return to the study, but suddenly she blacked out and slumped onto the floor unconsciously.
“You…”
Benjamin watched as she pitched forward. He quickly rushed to her side and took her into his arms.
He gently laid his hand against Natalie’s forehead and felt the slightly elevated temperature. He knew she was having a low fever then. Observing her pallor, he noticed the dark circles underneath her eyes.
It’s obvious she fainted from a weak body. I wonder how long since she got some shut-eye?
