Chapter 509 - 509: A Friend's Betrayal

"You always have a choice! The choice to do the right thing! But this is the choice you made. You chose to hurt and betray your comrades and friends for sake of that evil organization! Is it really worth it?" Erick yelled back at him.

"YES!!! IT'S WORTH IT!... All worth it!" General Jason burst out, answering Erick's question.

General Jason's eyes were now clear. There was no hint of remorse from them. It seemed like he turned into a different person now. He was no longer the 'Captain Jason' they knew before.

And this truth hurt Erick more. Not only him but also the other people who were listening to their conversation right now.

Erick was furious but his eyes started to shed droplets of tears. He was angry and at the same time, feeling sad. All of this was breaking his heart into tiny pieces. Elle could feel his pain by just looking at him.

General Jason continued talking, expressing his thoughts. "You were not the only one I betrayed. I've been doing this for so long. I should be immune to the feeling of guilt. I should feel nothing anymore. I feel no regrets." 

Jason took a pause, reminiscing everything he had done in the past. He balled his hand into a fist. His grip on his gun tightened.

"But… I had to admit it… I could also feel the pain and sadness of losing someone close to me… seeing my friends die because of me… because of my betrayal."

"If they were not clean cops… maybe I could convince them to join me. But how unfortunate it was… my friends were all good and clean cops just like you. So I had to hurt them whenever they would become a threat to the Dark Knight Organization."

General Jason was also getting affected by this conversation. His emotions were not stable, unlike before. He just wanted to burst out everything. He had kept all of these for so long.

Talking to Erick about this made him feel a little bit better. He could tell him how he felt and justify all his actions in the past. Besides, even if Erick could learn all his secrets, he would still die here together with Aliyah Ross.

After hearing his last remarks, A realization struck Elle. Her heart started to beat fast.

'No way… is this also the missing link in my father's case?'

Elle's expression suddenly changed. She had a hunch that General Jason was also related to what happened to her family in the past.

"Were you the one who betrayed Agent Cedrick Falcon, the former head of Phoenix Special Task Force?"

Both Erick and General Jason averted their gaze to Elle when her voice was heard. General Jason didn't expect that Elle aka Aliyah Ross would bring up Agent Cedrick Falcon.

General Jason was put in a trance for a few moments, his thoughts wandered back to the past.

'Agent Cedrick Falcon…' His face suddenly became pale. Complex emotions flashed through his eyes.

The smiling face of the most respectable Agent he had ever known popped up in his mind.

"Jason… my dear friend!" Cedrick greeted Jason enthusiastically, wrapping his arm around Jason's shoulder.

Cedrick was both his senior and his good friend. He was the one who helped him adjust when he was still new in the Task Force. 

He was put under a different team and Unit but Cedrick was always there guiding him and mentoring him. That's the start of their friendship.

Erick's father and Elle's father went to the same school. After they graduated they had to go separate ways to fulfill their dreams of becoming a true man of justice, serving the country.

After three years, both of them became respectable police officers. They lost communications because they became busy with their work.

Another two years had passed, then Cedrick met Jason. They became closer because Cedrick could see Raymond in him. He became his best buddy in the police department.

Many years had passed, they built a strong relationship. Cedrick trusted Jason, treating him like his own brother. 

Who would have thought that the person whom he entrusted his life with was the one who would betray him in the end?Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'s-betrayal_51653599289203529 for visiting.

Cedrick Falcon became one of the most capable and skilled agents of the law enforcement department. He gained lots of achievements. Because of that, he was assigned to become the head of the Phoenix Special Task Force.

He brought his team to the greatest heights of fame. Phoenix Special Task Force received many awards for their achievements. The crime rate in City Z decreased ever since the Phoenix Special Task Force was formed.

Then an assassin named Phantom brought a great disturbance in the whole country, killing several men including a public servant, a politician. 

After many failures, the law enforcement decided to assign Phantom's case to the Phoenix Special Task Force headed by Agent Cedrick Falcon.

This was the start wherein Agent Falcon slowly uncovered the truth about Phantom, his life story. Along the process, he met the scientist, Mr. Carter. He found the missing link to the death of Phantom's Family. 

After learning the important information and intelligence from Mr. Carter, Agent Falcon tried his best to protect him and at the same time, to expose the existence of the Bio-weapon facility.

He had a perfect plan but he miscalculated one thing. He trusted the wrong person. Mr. Carter warned him about the Spies of the Dark Knight Organization so he became cautious with other officers, except Jason, his good friend.

In order to implement his plan, Agent Falcon needed someone to help him. The person who came into his mind was Jason.

One day he told him everything about what he learned from Mr. Carter. At first, Jason helped him to secure Mr. Carter's family. Jason was with him when he brought Mr. Carter's family to the safe house.

Agent Falcon was clueless that the person he trusted most would be the one who would betray him. Jason told the Dark Lord everything Cedrick had told him.

That resulted in the death of Agent Cedrick Falcon and his family including Mr. Carter's Family.
