Chapter 1428
Nobody paid much attention to whether Robin had left or not; all eyes were fixed on Bernard as blood
streamed from his shoulder…
“Sir, please let go of your lady. Let’s get you out of here for treatment,” Scott said, reaching out to take
Eleanor from Bernard’s arms. But Bernard, clutching his wife, took a step back.
That gesture only meant one thing: My wife, no one else touches her.
“Lead the way,” Bernard commanded with a tilt of his chiseled chin, indicating for Scott to guide them.
Snapping back to reality, Scott withdrew his arms and gestured politely, “This way, sir.”
Holding Eleanor tightly, Bernard followed Scott, swiftly moving away from the chaotic scene at the Area
Opaca biotech facility.
Once they reached the surface, Bernard gently placed Eleanor into the helicopter before turning to face
the members of Siren Organization.
“The revenge that needed to be taken has been dealt with. You don’t need to follow me anymore.
Disband here and now.” Having settled all scores, Bernard intended to let Yates and Xavier settle their
own fights like dogs.
With this thought in mind, he turned to board the helicopter but was stopped by a call from the Siren
Organization.
“Sir, we’re willing to leave the Siren Organization, but please, let us continue to follow you.”

Even if they no longer had missions, following a man like Bernard, who was compassionate and
responsible, seemed like a worthy path.
Bernard, facing the sunset, turned slightly to look at the woman in the helicopter, worried about his
injuries.
“As you can see, my future life will only involve my wife. I have no intention of leading you any longer.”
With that, Bernard’s cold and detached gaze shifted to Evan. “It’s in your hands now.”
Bernard turned and swiftly boarded the helicopter. Aidyn followed quickly, with Scott on his heels.
Aidyn, sitting in the pilot’s seat, frowned upon seeing Scott join him. “Didn’t Mr. Laurence just say to
disband? What are you doing following us?”
Scott pulled out a first-aid kit he had pilfered from the biotech facility and began to open it as he replied,
“Aside from being a member of the Siren Organization, I’m also the personal bodyguard of the CEO’s
wife.”
Scott took out a hemostatic agent and looked at Eleanor, who was helplessly fixated on Bernard’s
wound.
“Mrs. Laurence, I can treat gunshot wounds. Would you like me to stay?”
Eleanor, her eyes filled with helplessness, perked up at his words as if grasping at a lifeline.
“Yes!” She nodded vigorously at Scott, her motions rapid and desperate. “Yes, yes, yes!”
Bernard, seeing her reaction, slowly curled his lips into a smile, lifting his hand to gently ruffle her hair.
“It’s going to be fine.”
“How can it be fine when you’re losing so much blood?”
Eleanor’s pleading gaze shifted to Scott as she said, “Just heal my husband, and you can stay as long
as you want.”
With Eleanor’s permission, Scott grinned triumphantly at Aidyn.
“See that? The CEO’s wife personally ‘begged’ me to stay!”
Aidyn rolled his eyes, knowing they couldn’t do without Scott’s skills at the moment.
With a snort, Aidyn let the matter go, gripped the controls, and started up the helicopter…
As the chopper lifted off, Scott deftly snipped open Bernard’s shirt.
“Sir, I’ll apply the medication to stop the bleeding. Once we’re at the hospital, we’ll have surgery to
remove the bullet.”
As he spoke, Scott liberally applied the medication to the wound. Bernard, gripping Eleanor’s hand,
unconsciously squeezed harder.
Eleanor, sensing his pain, reached out with her other hand, grasping his and holding it close to her
chest.
“If you can’t bear it, just pinch me.”
Bernard chuckled softly, about to say ‘Fool, how could I ever pinch you, when he noticed Scott
smirking.

His eyes, which sparkled like stars, suddenly sharpened like blades, cutting across the room; the
smirking Scott immediately played mute.
On the ground, the remaining members looked up at the departing helicopter, suddenly unsure of their
next move.
“Mr. Penrod, now that Mr. Law has left Siren Organization, what should we do?”
Evan slowly withdrew his gaze and turned to the members behind him.
“Truth be told, our foster father only trained us to use us. Now that Area Opaca has been breached, but
Yates is still out there. He’ll surely seek revenge on my foster father, and another bloodbath will ensue.
So, we should heed Mr. Law’s advice and disband right here.”
Since they were just pawns, there was no point in continuing to serve Xavier. It was best to let Yates
and Xavier fight it out to the death
Hearing Evan’s words, the members of the Siren Organization exchanged glances, some confused.
Evan patiently explained again the true purpose behind Xavier’s schemes.
Once everyone understood, they agreed to disband but assured Evan, Gianna, and Mr. Law that they
would be there to help if ever needed.
Evan responded with a simple ‘thank you’ and watched as the members, along with the bodies of the
fallen from the biotech. facility, departed Area Opaca in their own helicopters.
