If their people hadn't died, they would have caught up to the people they were chasing and who knew what would have happened after that.

“So there was nothing wrong with the truck?" Michel asked.

"I believe so."

“What can you tell me about that car?"

“We checked the surveillance footage and found that it was a very common black sedan, but we couldn't find any other information because there was no License plate on the car. By the time our people found the car, it had burned to ashes."

Furious, Michel smashed the glass against the wall, spilling red wine all over the floor.

"I've been doing this since I was twenty years old and I've never let the cat out of the bag, let alone let the police sniff something on me." Now, because of Kirk, several forces were secretly investigating him.

“Yes, sir!" said the bodyguard, before he turned around and walked out of the room.

With his hands behind his back, Michel stared at the mural on the wall in silence.

Michel had to transfer his entire operation from Kuflya to Alorith because he was being hunted by the royal forces in Kuflya. In order to avoid the royal family, he had no choice but to move to Alorith.

However, when he moved to Alorith, he met a bigger problem.

And now, he wouldn't even dare to make any moves against Erica—a mere woman. Back in the day, he would have dealt with a person like Erica just by himsett.

Unfortunately for him, Erica was the apple of Wesley's and Matthew's eye. If he even laid a finger on her, the entire Hilton family and
