Chapter 704: Chapter 704: The person sent to search the Wesleys’ house is Cold Lizard

Chapter 704

Raine Nolan smirked, "The purpose of inviting Chloe Collins to this program is to create hype by pairing her with Shelby Hamilton. They must be on the same team."

Tessa Collins said faintly, "Now that you mention it, I’m actually quite looking forward to this show."

Raine pressed her lips together, not wanting to speak.

After fencing and working up a sweat, Chloe Collins had breakfast and then took a shower.

When she came out, her phone was ringing furiously.

It was a call from Heijii.

She pressed the speakerphone button while listening and drying her hair.

Milk Candy jumped onto the table, lying next to her phone and watching intently.

Heijii’s voice came through the phone, "Boss, I found out who’s behind tracking Wanda Wesley!"

Chloe paused her hair-drying, picked up the phone, turned off the speakerphone, and listened closely, "Go on."

Heijii quickly and clearly said, "The person who sent someone to search the Wesley house is the current Southeast Asian Elder of the Aseatic Dark Alliance, codenamed Cold Lizard!"

Cold Lizard...

These three words caused a blank space in Chloe Collins’ mind, followed by a cold chill that lifted the veil of emptiness, leading her into a boundless dark space.

A damp, moldy smell lingered faintly at the edge of her nose, filled with a strong scent of blood.

That period of memory suddenly awakened.

Heijii’s voice was filled with anger, "This old poison, even after so long, still causing trouble! If I see him again, I’ll cripple him!"

Chloe could understand Heijii’s rage.

After all, Heijii had been humiliated by Cold Lizard from the very beginning.

Never beaten or scolded, but always subjected to various insidious and cruel schemes.

Being humiliated in front of everyone.

Take Heijii’s codename, for example - it was also related to Cold Lizard.

In the Dark Alliance, everyone had a number and a codename.

The number was composed of letters and digits, like an ID card.

A codename replaced a name for easy reference.

Everyone’s codename was decided by their superiors, usually directly taken from plant or animal names, and if there was a duplicate, an adjective would be added in front, like Cold Lizard.

Once Heijii was given this name, Cold Lizard ridiculed him for a long time, even changing his name several times along the way, including Black Chicken, Bird Chicken, Turtle, and even Eunuch.

Therefore, Heijii hated him intensely.

However, this matter could only be counted as a minor issue in Chloe’s entanglement with Cold Lizard.

She didn’t expect to hear this codename again after so many years.

"What’s his purpose for tracking Wanda Wesley?"

Wanda Wesley was related to the BDR experiment. Could it be that Cold Lizard was also involved in this?

Heijii’s voice carried a trace of frustration, "I haven’t found out the details yet, I only know that those people are his subordinates."

Chloe frowned, "Make sure to find out the truth. Keep investigating."

Heijii said, "Boss, do you want me to go there personally?"

"No need. Have someone else go."

Heijii sighed, "Understood."

After ending the call, Chloe slept for another two hours.

These two hours of sleep were anything but peaceful.

What she thought she had left behind was suddenly dredged up in her dreams, the scenes as if they had happened only yesterday.

An innocent and ignorant girl in a dark, damp cabin, the greasy palm of a lecherous man, and that eerie, nightmarish voice—

"Once you’re here, don’t think of home. From now on, you have no home."

"If you don’t behave, you’ll have to sleep on the blood-stained bed."

"Come here, let me touch you."

"Kill her! Kill her! I want her dead!"

With a splash, she was plunged into the icy cold sea, the surrounding darkness and suffocating pressure overwhelming her!
