Episode 446 That's a Rather Severe Punishment



Javier was a little surprised. He had concluded that there was something wrong with Alyssa through Suzanne's words, so how did Herschel know about it?


Javier asked, "Why did you say that?"


Herschel replied, “When Alyssa was out there with me, she told me that she seduced strangers to save everyone. After he and the stranger had contact***, he took his phone to call me while he was cleaning.


“But this seems impossible to me. There was a woman among the guards, but Alyssa had the chance to get a man by her side, which I was sure would raise suspicion. There was no way that anyone would lower their vigilance and let him take their cell phone unless they were really idiots.


“That's why I think there's something wrong about Alyssa. Maybe this isn't proof, but I feel like something's wrong with her. It was probably due to my habit of being suspicious about everything during my time on the battlefield, but my instincts were usually very accurate.”


Sure enough, Herschel's suspicious instinct was indeed very accurate. Javier also became doubtful because of how unreal it was and intended to test his theory. After all, there were already traitors among his ranks, so it was hard to guarantee nothing else.


In fact, Javier's suspicions have been proven.


Now that Alyssa was named a suspect, it was only natural that Suzanne would be released from them.


Javier looked out the window of his car and noticed as Alyssa walked away before he said, "But you seem to really fit him right now!"


Herschel waved his hand. “It was just because I wanted to get more information about the research team from him. If I could really be tricked by a woman that easily, I would have already become a father by now!”


Javier smiled and said nothing more.


of course, he was happy because Herschel was not the type of person who would lose himself due to Alyssa's feelings for him. Therefore, he did not have to worry about Herschel. The car then sped up, and the entire group of mercenaries parted ways. They all went back to their families. Before Gusman brought back Angelina's team, she kept apologizing to Javier, her expression extremely embarrassed as if she had just eaten an apple and discovered that she had bitten a worm. After all, the spy was from his team, so it was only natural that he felt embarrassed.


However, Javier did not say anything about it. They were Angelina's men, so she knew what to do with them. Plus, it's hard to guarantee that there are no spies of my enemies on my own team.'


After Gusman leaves, Gabby and Levi take Hachison's men with them, while GTR and Running Man are both expelled along with the other Kersey guys to the spot where


Mackenzie. They had to return after all the groups were sent back. Herschel has booked entire hotels in the city for a long time, making it a little easier to organize the people they have saved, especially Alyssa, whose room is right between Javier's and Herschel's.


After everyone went upstairs and into their rooms, Javier escorted Herschel to Alyssa's room.


They knocked on the door, but there was no answer.


Coincidentally, a female officer walked over. Herschel patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Are you Avril?"


The female attendant looked somewhat confused, not understanding what Herschel was saying. Herschel then quickly waved his hand and said that he mistook him for someone else. The female attendant politely smiled and left, leaving Herschel with a beautiful-looking brooch in her hand.


Herschel opened the brooch and performed his magic just before the door opened. He then pushed open the door and entered, realizing that the bathroom lights were on and hearing the sound of water flowing from within. It seemed like Alyssa was bathing inside, so Javier turned around and lit a cigarette. He would not see Alyssa naked in front of Herschel before ascertaining whether she was the traitor they were after or not.


In the end, as Herschel opened the door, he shouted, “What the hell is this?!”


Herschel looked panicked. He looked scared, even.


Javier quickly turned around, but even he was shocked when he saw what was inside the bathroom.


Alyssa's head was seen in the bathroom, her long hair tied up on the shower. He even smiled with his eyes wide open, but his body was on the floor, covered in fresh blood flowing in a nearby sewer.


They closed the bathroom door and left Alyssa's room. Then, Herschel quickly headed to the receptionist to check the surveillance cameras.


Meanwhile, Javier sat in his room, knocking on his desk gently. His real mother was a psychologist, so Javier himself also knew a thing or two about psychology.


'But assassins usually only kill their targets. Why did this one tie Alyssa's head over the shower and let her wash with water continuously?' Javier then makes a hypothesis based on compiling all of this information from the killer's point of view.Alyssa's head is very tarnished and stupid, so he needs to wash it off for him to be a little smarter.


'If I think about this from Alyssa's point of view, why would she give information to Nathaniel and then call Herschel later? Is it because he wants to gain even more of Herschel's trust and, after that, my trust?


'But these are all just bold hypotheses with no real evidence to back them up, so I can't jump to conclusions here right away.',


Herschel then returned as he thought about this.


As expected, nothing was found in the surveillance cameras. In addition, the main server hard drive is lost.


'Hard drive keeps all surveillance footage, but it's gone? Then how can we investigate it?!'


“Sorry, Boss... I told Alyssa that someone will soon take over this company, but I don't think he will be on our enemy's side. He can also conclude that we


will send someone through my words. I'm really sorry about this.


Herschel was so embarrassed. Through Alyssa's death, she very quickly confirmed that it was she who caused their movements to leak. Javier glanced at Herschel. "Do you think you should be punished for that?"


Herschel nodded his head, looking very sincere. "I'm willing to accept whatever you want to do with me."


Javier waved his hand. “Go clean Alyssa's body then. We will definitely face a problem when someone finds out tomorrow. Worst case scenario, we might not be allowed to leave the border.”


Herschel's eyes instantly widened. “Bos, that's a rather heavy punishment! Just look at how scary it is there. His head hangs in the shower!”.


Javier knew that Herschel was just playing around and was just about to kick him, but Herschel hurriedly dodged and fled to the door.


When he stood in front of the door, he sincerely said, “Sorry, Boss. I won't make such a mistake again. If I did, I would cut off my tongue and remain mute forever!”


Javier waved his hand. “Alright, that's enough. Quickly and deal with the body. Make sure no one else knows.”


Herschel, who was very grateful, turned to cleanse the body.


In fact, Javier was indeed not angry at Herschel, as the people who were watching his mercenaries would still tell Nathaniel about it even though Herschel did not.


However, Javier will not tell Herschel about this.


'No one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes in the end. Plus, I made a bigger mistake today!


'I shouldn't have made that phone call in the first place!' Javier wants to slap himself once he remembers this. He kept wondering how he could be so stupid!


However, right at that moment, someone knocked on his door.


Javier asked, "Who is that?"


A voice replied, “This is me, Alyssa.”.


'What the fuck?!?
