The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy!-Chapter 730: Time To Clean The Order

[Order]

Hugo huffed the moment he returned to the mansion with grim news. Looking back, he watched the men he’d taken with him carry body bags containing those retrieved from the small island.

"Second Brother!" Allen’s voice rang out, making Hugo turn to see him jogging over. "How was it?"

Hugo shrugged. "The animals on the island made searching difficult, but we found nothing. Just those." He hooked a thumb over his shoulder.

Allen followed his gaze to the men transporting the body bags toward the infirmary.

"Here are the names that have already been identified," Hugo said, pulling out a note Izu had handed him earlier. "A few of them belong to the Outer Circle—members who were supposedly on leave or vacation."

Deep lines formed on Allen’s brow as he accepted the list and scanned the names. As usual, none of them rang a bell. With so many members in the Order, Allen was more familiar with faces. Unless they were long-standing members, names were harder to place.

"They were new recruits," Hugo added as Allen read. "At least according to Izu and the others. They joined late, but they were residents of the main island."

Allen nodded slowly and met Hugo’s gaze. "I’ll look into them tonight."

"I know." Hugo paused. "Where’s First Brother? Did he get what he wanted?"

"..." Allen glanced around before answering quietly. "Yes. He’s in the family wing with Miss Lola and Ransom."

Hugo nodded and gave Allen’s shoulder a light tap before heading off. Allen watched him leave, then turned in another direction, walking toward Izu, who was helping oversee the handling of the recovered bodies.

Hugo rolled his neck, stretching it in a slow circle as he walked down the corridor leading into the family wing. The closer he got to the inner quarters, the quieter it became, with fewer people around.

Bodyguards were still stationed along the halls, alert and unmoving—a sight that surprised no one.

Soon, Hugo reached a room slightly removed from the family’s usual spaces. He knocked once and waited a few seconds before pushing the door open.

The moment he stepped inside, everyone turned to look at him.

Atlas, Slater, Lola, Ransom, and Florida were all present.

Then Hugo’s gaze shifted and landed on someone standing quietly in the corner.

Baby.

Hugo closed the door behind him, his eyes flicking to the bed where a pair of feet lay still.

"So, you got him, huh?" He let out a breath of relief. "That had me worried for a second."

"He was injured," Ransom replied calmly as he continued tending to Henrik’s wounds. "But thankfully, the little master and little miss gave him first aid. They also left him a repellent, which likely saved him from snake bites or other animals while he was on the run."

"I still can’t believe you all..." Lola huffed, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed. "How could you let my children sneak out and even try to hide it?"

"Humph!" Slater snickered, leaning proudly beside her like a triumphant informant. "Tell them, sis. The audacity."

"Still, the mission was a success..." Florida said cautiously, glancing at Atlas before shifting his gaze to Baby. "Wasn’t it?"

"This one? Yeah, we can say that," Hugo replied as he dragged a chair over and sat down. "I think this’ll throw them off. And it looks like the blonde escaped again."

Baby nodded but remained silent. Then Atlas finally spoke.

"Good work, Baby," he said, his gaze shifting to Henrik on the bed. "That alone resolves one issue."

When the investigation into Yuri had begun, Atlas had already considered the possibility of a mole within the Order—someone with access to classified information.

So from day one, he devised a plan.

The first step was to remove Baby from the investigation entirely and isolate him.

This served two purposes.

First, if someone within the Order was monitoring Atlas, they would judge based on who he spoke to and who remained close to him. By removing Baby, that presence would slowly fade into the background. Even Florida and Izu noticed this.

Second, it created the impression that Atlas trusted no one—not even Baby, whom he relied on the most. It gave the illusion that Atlas’s inner circle was undergoing structural changes.

From there, events continued to escalate.

So when the twins reported that they had found Henrik and knew where he was, Atlas instinctively acted.

He sent Allen to form a team of individuals cleared from the investigation and assigned them to accompany Hugo. Izu joined as additional support in case things went wrong. Meanwhile, Baby received a separate mission: to move ahead alone and retrieve Henrik first.

Although Hugo was aware of the plan, Atlas deliberately cut off all communication regarding Baby’s progress. That way, even Hugo—and those with him—would remain uncertain of Henrik’s status.

Atlas believed someone was watching the operation closely and would base their conclusions on the larger group Hugo led.

It created the perfect illusion: that Henrik was still missing, ensuring both his safety and the integrity of their plan.

In short, only now did Hugo learn the truth that Henrik was safe, and Baby had succeeded. More importantly, making it appear that Atlas distrusted Baby had worked. Baby was off everyone’s radar.

"Wow..." Florida muttered, eyes on Baby. "I can’t believe even Izu and I were fooled. He’ll be shocked when he sees you here."

Baby shrugged before speaking again. "I saw several people pursuing Henrik on the island. Most of them came from the same batch."

"I’ve got the list," Hugo said, raising a hand. "Allen already has it. I think we’ve narrowed down who’s been sabotaging us from the inside."

Everyone’s attention drifted to Henrik’s unconscious form.

"Check anyone connected to the man Henrik paid to bring him to the island as well," Atlas ordered. "I suspect our moles aren’t limited to the Order, but extend to those operating under its protection."

He inhaled deeply, his gaze steady.

"We have him now," Atlas said. "It’s time to clean up the Order."
