As soon as Javier killed the monster, Norman regained consciousness. He crawled under the flag with difficulty, reaching out to grab it, but it was in vain. "My mission is complete. I can die now," he said, and knocked over a lit candle onto the flag.
The candle ignited the Veltro flag, engulfing both the flag and Norman in flames. The Veltro organization was completely destroyed.
"Let's get out of here quickly. This place is going to be destroyed soon." Javier stepped forward to support Chris, and the three of them left together, returning to the plane. Jill uploaded the video footage to the BSAA headquarters' main screen.
Inside BSAA HQ, everyone watched the video, which contained the recorded conversation between Morgan and Norman discussing the launch of a terrorist attack.
After seeing the footage, Clive smiled in triumph. As soon as the video ended, Morgan's men turned their guns on him.
Morgan realized the situation was hopeless and didn't resist. He looked at Clive and said, "It seems I underestimated the BSAA's capabilities. Maybe I underestimated you too."
Clive approached and replied, "There's no way you're getting away with this now."
Morgan didn't seem to care about his predicament. He stood up and looked into the distance. "Clive, you should understand the reality we're facing. Without Terragrigia, ignorant people won't be able to recognize the threats ahead."
Clive shook his head. "Yeah, maybe you're right."
Morgan clenched his fist and looked back at Clive.
"No one has the right to imprison me. The world needs my guidance. Everything I've done was for the greater good of humanity."
Clive stepped forward and looked him in the eye. "You're just deceiving yourself. You once said those who enter must abandon all hope. Morgan, your position as the FBC president is over. You're also under arrest for conspiring with the terrorist organization Veltro. You were involved in the planning and execution of the Terragrigia Incident."
After Clive finished speaking, two FBC members escorted Morgan away. As he was leaving, Morgan said, "Clive, the BSAA is making a huge mistake," before being taken into custody.
Clive watched him leave and let out a long sigh. The incident had finally come to a close.
Aboard the helicopter, everyone heard the news that Morgan had been arrested. "We finally managed to resolve the Terragrigia incident," Chris said with a smile.
"Yes, but the cost was far too high," Jill replied with a sigh.
Javier stepped forward and walked up to them. "After this incident, the BSAA will likely be reorganized." Upon hearing this, Jill looked into the distance. "The storm has passed, but how long will the peace last?"
After returning to base, everyone received a message from Clive saying they could take a vacation. Rachel's boss, Morgan, had been arrested, and she was tired of life as an agent, so she decided to join Javier's company as a regular office worker.
Parker was taken to the hospital for treatment. It would take at least a month for him to fully recover. The others could only rest for a few days.
When Javier was about to head out with Jill and Rachel, Chris suddenly approached and punched him without warning, startling both Jill and Rachel.
Javier hadn't expected it and didn't react in time. The punch knocked him to the ground, splitting the corner of his mouth and making it bleed.
"Chris, why did you hit Javier?" Jill rushed forward to help him up with Rachel's assistance.
Chris looked at the three and said, "Jill, even though Javier is our friend and saved us, his character is questionable. Also, stay away from my sister." Then he walked away.
Javier gave a bitter smile and shook his head. Jill rolled her eyes and said, "This is the result of your scummy behavior. That was just a small lesson. Let's see what you do next." Javier smiled at her.
"It's not my fault my heart has so much room. I love each of you deeply."
Hearing that, Jill ignored him and left with Rachel, dragging Javier along. There were already too many BSAA agents watching the scene, and they didn't want to attract more attention.
Morgan was arrested immediately, and the FBC was soon dissolved. The BSAA seized the opportunity to reorganize and became an official organization affiliated with the United Nations. Most of the former FBC members were absorbed into the BSAA.
The head of the BSAA, Clive R. O'Brien, resigned to become a full-time writer and now serves as a consultant for the organization.
Javier left the BSAA at that point. Now that it had been taken over by the government, its purpose had changed. Just like Morgan had said, the BSAA had made a serious mistake.
Javier lay in bed at his mansion, holding a newspaper filled with articles about Morgan and the BSAA. There was also more news about the virus.
Since being punched by Chris, Javier had been visiting Claire more often—just to get back at her brother. Claire knew Chris had hit Javier, but she simply smiled and didn't blame anyone.
In other news, the NGO Terra Save requested that the pharmaceutical company Wilpharma make its clinical trial results in India public.
At this point, Wilpharma had already acquired the T-virus and had begun secretly developing a vaccine project, hoping to grow and position itself as humanity's savior.
Several months passed.
Jill was now living at Javier's mansion, while Rachel worked at his company as his secretary.
Natasha was with Catherine. The two were traveling the world and rarely had time to return, giving Javier and Jill a rare opportunity to enjoy time together.
One day, Javier and Jill were lying in bed talking when the phone beside the bed rang. It was the mansion's internal line.
Javier answered—it was Claire. He quickly got up with Jill. She hadn't seen Claire in a long time. When they went downstairs, they found her sitting on the couch, drinking coffee.
Claire saw Jill and pulled her over to sit down and chat, completely ignoring Javier. Seeing he had nothing to do, Javier went upstairs to take a shower and came back down after getting dressed.
By then, the two had already finished chatting and were waiting for Javier to return.
