Chapter 19: The Flame of Revenge

After learning the truth, Irene decided to cooperate with Hawk to expose the dark secrets that the town had been hiding for years. They began to collect evidence, leaving no place unexplored where clues might be hidden, from the secluded corners of the abandoned factory to the private mansions of the powerful.

Irene utilized the professional knowledge she had learned at the FBI to analyze and organize the collected evidence. She carefully studied every document and every photo, attempting to find conclusive proof of the powerful figures' crimes. Hawk, on the other hand, relying on the connections he had built up over the years in the town and his understanding of the dark forces, provided many crucial clues for the investigation.

They discovered that the pollution from the steel factory not only led to the deaths of numerous workers in the explosion incident back then but also triggered a series of environmental pollution problems, severely threatening the health of the town's residents. To cover up all this, those powerful people colluded with government officials, tampered with environmental monitoring data, and resorted to coercion and bribery against the families of the victims.

As the investigation deepened, their actions caught the attention of the dark forces. One night, when they were searching for evidence in an abandoned warehouse, they were suddenly attacked by a group of armed men. Gunshots rang out and sparks flew in the warehouse immediately. Irene and Hawk, back - to - back, engaged in a fierce battle with the enemies.

Irene, with her agile movements and accurate marksmanship, evaded the enemies' attacks time and again while looking for opportunities to counter - attack. Her eyes were firm and calm as she moved freely through the hail of bullets. Every shot she fired carried her anger towards the enemies and her dedication to justice. Hawk, like a fierce cheetah, demonstrated astonishing strength and speed in the battle. Every move he made was merciless, striking fear into the hearts of the enemies.
