Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As Andre lay in bed, he went over the plan in his head again to make sure that it was foolproof.

The challenge was whether Sean would be able to suppress his anger and use his cool head to lure Warden Ryan into making a fatal mistake.

That was the key to the plan.

Moments ago, Sean had engaged in a long conversation with him. He had carefully roleplayed many possible situations where any sudden changes might happen.

Warden Ryan, for instance, could not wait for Sean to enter the live broadcast room and take a seat. It was likely that once Sean entered the room, Anna’s brother, who was hiding in the audience, would directly pull out a gun and kill him.

The uncertainty weighed heavily on Sean’s heart.

Andre also understood that no matter what he said at this moment, it would not be of much use to Sean.

If he were in the other person’s shoes, if Andre were on the run, he would be facing his former enemy on live television.

What would he do?

There was still half an hour before the live broadcast at 8:15 pm.

Warden Ryan, who had arrived early at the Chicago News Center, was preparing backstage.

A large number of officers had sealed off the news center, and Warden Ryan had purposely sent his confidants out. A SWAT team was stationed around the live broadcast room as well. If there was any movement, they would rush into the room as fast as possible to subdue or kill Sean.

The brother of the torture victim, Anna was also in the live broadcast room. He was sitting on a bench, expressionless.

He had not been very close with his sister Anna since he was a child. His sister, Anna had always been shrouded in a halo.

From junior high to high school and then to university, his sister, Anna had been a popular figure in school and a long-time guest on television.

Each time after school, his classmates would pester him to get them an autographed photo of his sister or to get her phone number.

He had felt incredibly annoyed, but he had been born a coward, hence he never dared to reject his classmates’ requests. He could only go home and take the initiative to help his sister, Anna do something in exchange for her autographed photos.

However, his sister, Anna would always tease him deliberately before she reluctantly gave him an autographed photo.

His parents’ attitude had annoyed him even more. They were completely immersed in his sister, Anna’s brilliance and could not extricate themselves.

He knew that his parents loved him, but being in his sister Anna’s shadow, they would always inadvertently ignore his existence.

Up until Anna’s accident, his parents had still refused to believe that his sister had left them.

He had hoped that his sister’s departure would change his parents’ minds and make them focus on him.

The funny thing was, he had expected too much once again.

He had had enough!

He knew that his sister, Anna had not been killed by that rich second-generation Xiao. He had evidence regarding his sister’s murder in his hands.

One day, upon coming home by chance, he had found his sister, who had not been back for a long time, in her room arguing with someone.

He had sneaked to the door, and what he had overheard surprised him.

It had turned out that his high-and-mighty sister had become the plaything of the wealthy without her realizing.

At that moment, it did not seem like he had been inferior to his sister.

It was as if the halo over his sister was not so dazzling anymore.

However, what his sister said next had caused him to start panicking. He had discovered a big conspiracy.

His sister had actually promised someone her body so that she could get close to a rich man. Then, she would drug the rich man before someone else would go in and kidnap him.

He thought that his sister, Anna was so stupid.

In fact, he had already known that the rich man was the current escaped convict, Sean. After his sister had drugged Sean, the people who had arrived next did not kidnap Sean but raped her, mutilating her lower body. After that, they had placed the electric eels into the bathtub.

However, he would never reveal the evidence.

He hated his sister, Anna.

When Thomas’ butler approached him, he had agreed to the other party’s idea straight away.

He hid the evil in his heart and pretended as if he wanted to avenge his sister.

There were still 15 minutes before the 8:15 live broadcast.

The warden, Ryan could not help but wish for Sean’s death. He ignored the TV station’s persuasion and entered the live broadcast room ahead of time.

The helpless staff had no choice but to point the camera at the fat Ryan.

Ryan’s speeches had always been good. He was skilled at manipulating his audience’s hearts and using the right words at the right time.

The audience, who had already arrived at the live broadcast room and sat down, was really led astray by Ryan’s emotional speech.

Many of the audience members even stood up and shouted to support Ryan.

Ryan was intoxicated by the cheers below the stage as he amped up the atmosphere.

He could not stay away for long.

Ryan, the warden of the largest prison in the United States, had made a comeback.

He was going to make that d*mned Sean speechless, lose face, and admit his sins with tears in his eyes.

Ryan was fond of a famous verse in the Bible.

“The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.”1

At that moment, Ryan’s emotions were at their peak.

If Sean appeared right then, it would be akin to fighting a towering holy mountain.

There was one minute left until the live broadcast at 8.15 pm.

The rambunctious audience suddenly went silent, and the whole place became unusually quiet.

The time in the studio showed 8:15, but the famous figure did not appear.

Those who were watching the live broadcast on the Internet were livid. They knew what Sean’s absence meant.

These people had been watching for a long time. Deep in their hearts, they had been hoping that Sean would come out and present indisputable evidence to tear down the judicial system’s hypocritical mask.

As time passed, their disappointment became more evident.

Those who had gathered outside the news center stared at the big screen of the live broadcast with bright eyes.

They were also waiting for Sean to appear.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted Sean’s name.

A moment later, the tens of thousands of people gathered there shouted the same name.

Sean! Sean! Sean!
