NovelEnglishChapter 108 Shattered Brotherhood
The moment Baron's words fell, Finn collapsed onto the floor, terror in his eyes.
Looking at Baron's fury, he suddenly understood everything.
“You knew all along?”
“I gave you more than one chance, Finn.”

Baron's voice shook with barely restrained rage, his eyes bloodshot. His teeth clenched as he ground out, “If I'd
known giving you chances would cost Yvonne her life, I'd have ended you the first time.”
Finn's body went slack. He laughed and sobbed at once, like a madman.
Baron didn’t stop him. At this moment, there was no strength left for empty arguments.
After a while, Finn crawled over to Yvonne's body and knocked his head to the ground three times.
“Yvonne... I'm sorry! It's my fault! The one who should be dead is me!”
He pressed his forehead to the floor and wailed, his voice tearing out of his chest.
Baron yanked him away.
“Don’t you dare sully her path to the afterlife! She respected you, trusted you like a brother— yet what did you
do? People change, | know that, but | never thought it would be you.”

“I didn’t mean to! | had no choice!”
Finn's face twisted in agony. Regret burned through him-if he had known Yvonne would be dragged into this, he
would never have done any of it.
Baron's eyes held no mercy.
He sat in the main chair, gaze like a blade cutting through Finn's pitiful figure. “Talk. When did you start
betraying me? How did you control Phantom, forcing her to fail in protecting Natalie? And why did you send
Yvonne to the National Hotel? What were you after?”
The questions hit like hammers. Finn had expected exposure, but not this thorough.
Baron knew everything. He had just kept silent.

Now Finn understood what he meant by “giving him chances.”

He slumped against the floor, despair in his eyes. “Mr. Gunn... | never wanted to betray you.
Never.”
“Useless words. Look at Yvonne. How will you answer to her? You knew what Phantom meant to her, and yet you
let Phantom die. Tell me, how did you face Yvonne's trusting eyes every day?”
Finn's eyes flooded again.
“I didn’t kill Phantom. | only stopped her from protecting Natalie in that moment—*

“But you knew,” Baron cut him off coldly. “You knew Phantom would be punished for failing her mission. Whether
or not she burned in that fire, she would not have survived after failing to guard Natalie. The moment you
dragged her down, you signed her death sentence.”
Silence swallowed the room.
Finn bit down so hard on his lip that blood trickled down his chin. He didn’t care.
The air grew heavy, every breath thick and suffocating.
Finally, hoarse and broken, Finn whispered, “Do you think | wanted this? Do you think | wanted her harmed? |
loved her more than anyone.”
His shoulders shook, tears dripping to the floor.
Gone was the second-in-command of the organization. In his place was a man crumbling with guilt.
Baron said nothing, waiting.
Finn drew a ragged breath. “Phantom and | were lovers. We never announced it. | wanted to give her a name,
but she always said her rank was too low. She toldto wait. | never thought that wait would last forever.”
He glanced up at Baron, saw no surprise in his eyes, and knew then that their secret had never been a secret to
him.
Of course.
Baron was the one who held everything in his hands. Finn had only deluded himself, thinking he could hide his
sins, that his growing power would shield him. But there was no wall in this world that didn’t let wind through.

Finn's last defenses crumbled.
“You knew everything. Why didn’t you askbefore?”

“Because it was your private life. Who you loved wasn’t my business. As your brother, | only wished you
happiness, a family, children of your own.”
Baron's voice was calm, but every word rang with truth.
Finn's eyes reddened again.
“Mr. Gunn... I've failed you, failed our brotherhood. Do withwhat you will.”
His face was hollow, resigned to death.
But Baron's voice dropped, deep and cutting. “Punishment is certain-whether for Phantom, or for Yvonne, they
deserve justice. But before that, you're going to telleverything. Who is behind this? Who is worth your
betrayal?”
