Chapter 1659
Professor Heist and Ward had been keeping an eye on this matter these days. They had almost turned the entire base upside down, but didn't find the red insect.
"Useless! You're all useless!"
With Ward's furious shouting, an ashtray whizzed out of the office.
One who failed to avoid it in time was hit on the head. With a thud, he fell to the ground, motionless, blood spreading from the back of his head.
All those who saw it paled in fear, not daring to take a deep breath.

Keagan gave an order and went out of the office.
Ward's face was distorted in fury, the blood vessels on his forehead were shaking, and his face was so dark as if he was a fierce ghost from hell.
Seeing Keagan come in, he narrowed his eyes and asked," How's the situation? Have you found them?"
Keagan stopped and reported the truth, "Sir, we haven't found the traces of those from the Grandset so far, but we're still searching. I think there'll be good news soon." "Soon?" Ward snorted, "The island is not big. They don't have many spots to hide. I guess they have already infiltrated into every corner of the island."
Speaking of this, he looked at his subordinate standing outside, his eyes turning vicious. "Our men might have heard their persuasions and changed sides."
Shocked, Keagan immediately said, "Don't worry, sir. I'll get to the bottom of it."
"What about the Petersens? Do you have news about them?" Ward turned his face sideways and squinted at him.
"They're still unwilling to reveal anything."
This reply infuriated Ward again. He picked up the teacup on the table, throwing it at Keagan.
The latter didn't avoid it, letting the teacup hit his chest. He felt the pain, but just made a muffled moan.
"You're also useless! You've got nothing done!" Ward took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling in fury. "Why do I have to let you live then?"
Keagan opened his mouth to explain when one of his men rushed in.
"Sir, we seem to have found the traces of the red insect."
This was definitely unexpected good news!
Ward immediately became happy and pressed excitedly," Where's it?"
"In the room where those guys are locked."
Since they had found the traces of the red insect, Ward would capture it this time.
So he said to Keagan, "Go bring Professor Heist. We're going to take a look."
"Yes, sir."
Keagan left with his order in a hurry.
When Ward and his men arrived at the door where they had found the traces of the red insect, Keagan frowned. "This is Selon's room, isn't it?"
Hearing Selon's name, Ward immediately asked someone to open the door.
Selon was reading a book leisurely with his back against the head of the bed, but his mind was, in fact, not on the book. Instead, he had been watching the outside.
When he heard the footsteps approaching and stopping at his room door, he smiled with pride.
They took the bait!
"Where's the insect?"
As soon as the door opened, Ward was the first to rush in, questioning Selon.
Selon closed his book calmly and pointed at the ceiling, answering, "There's a noise in the pipes overhead, but I'm not sure if it is the so-called insect you guys are looking for."
Ward turned his head and ordered, "Keagan, ask someone to go up and check if it is our insect. If it is, then capture it."
"Got it!"
Ready to catch it by himself, Keagan asked someone to bring a ladder.
