“Is this supposed to be a restaurant?” Tedmond asked himself, his brows furrowing.

The place looked old and dirty. The walls were cracked, and some parts were black from dirt. The sign above the door was broken. One of the letters didn’t light up, and the rest blinked like it could go off at any time.

The front door was small and dusty. The wood looked weak, like it could break if someone pushed hard. A broken doorbell was hanging by the side, and it didn’t have a button. There were two trash bins near the door. One was open, and a bad smell came from it.

Old posters were stuck on the wall, but they were ripped and dirty. The windows had marks all over them, and the blinds inside were hanging the wrong way.

“What is this place?” he said, looking at his phone again to check the address.

The address was the same as the one Max had sent him, indicating that he hadn’t gone to the wrong place. But no matter how much he thought about it, the place he was standing in front of wasn’t where

    Tedmond thought about it for a while. Hino’s suggestion wasn’t bad at all. It sounded like something that would piss Max off enough to stop protecting Lisa.From what Neil said, Max had only gone there to check if Lisa was the one who released him, but ended up deleting the footage without even confirming it.If he saw the message now, he would believe it was Lisa who let him out. That alone was going to be useful.Once they started suspecting Lisa, they’d stop looking for who really did it. And the faster they believed she was behind it, the quicker they’d come after him.That was enough time—for now.“I’ll add it,” Tedmond said. “Great suggestion, Hino.”Neil’s face twisted into a frown. He didn’t like that Hino had come up with something useful before he did. Still, he was glad the idea was helpful.“Thanks, young master,” Hino said with a smile.Tedmond gave a small nod and turned back to the laptop in front of him. The moment Neil saw that, he quickly moved behind him to see what

    “Tea?” Neil asked, balancing two trays—one holding two mugs of steaming tea, the other stacked with three plates of neatly cut sandwiches.Tedmond looked up from the document in front of him. “You brought food too?”Since Thomas had left, he had returned to work, hoping to finish up before the man returned—because afterward, he’d have to focus on dealing with the Griffins and those thugs.And even while working, his curiosity lingered. He couldn’t help but wonder who Thomas was bringing to meet him, and what the person might look like.Neil shrugged as he carefully lowered the trays onto the coffee table. “Figured you’d forget to eat again.”Tedmond leaned back in his seat, his eyes scanning the tray. “You’re not wrong.”His lips curled into a small smile. He was glad Neil had brought him something to eat before Thomas came back; he was certain the old man wouldn’t let him leave without finishing his meal.Neil smirked and passed him a mug. “Drink. You look like your brain’s overheati

    Thomas still sat on the couch, his gaze fixed on his wristwatch. He was about to stand and go get Marek himself, but just as he glanced once more toward the stairs, he saw Marek descending.There was a certain stillness about Marek, the kind that made even the air hesitate. His black shirt hung open at the collar, sleeves rolled just above his forearms, revealing pale skin marked with old, unflinching scars.His boots echoed against the marble steps—slow, deliberate. Like the man himself, every step carried weight.A slim man hurried behind him, eyes filled with concern as he tried to catch up, hoping to reach Thomas before Marek did.The murmurs among the guards died instantly. Even those who pretended not to watch shifted subtly toward the staircase. It was as if the room held its breath.They all dared not continue their rumors with him nearby. Even though they spoke behind his back, they were still terrified of him. After all, he could take them all on without breaking a sweat—and

    Thomas glanced at his wristwatch, then raised his head to look up the stairs, searching for any sign of the man he was waiting for.Around him, several guards loitered near the edge of the marble foyer, their conversations fading as soon as Thomas appeared. One by one, their gazes drifted to the hallway he had come from—curiosity tugging at their expressions.“Did he really go to call him?” someone muttered.“Finally,” another whispered. “About damn time someone did.”A third guard scoffed. “That guy’s been living in that side building for years. Paid like the rest of us—maybe even more—but he’s never done a thing. Not once.”“He doesn’t even show up for drills,” someone added.“Lucky bastard,” another sneered. “I’ve always wanted his job. Sit around, do nothing, and still get paid.”Then came the silence.Someone said what they were all thinking, his voice low and uneasy. “They came for him now. After all these years. Whatever this task is… must be worse than anything we’ve handled.”

    Upon seeing the look on Thomas’s face, Tedmond’s brows arched. Just from that expression, he could tell the gang wasn’t just large—it was powerful.And getting his phone back wasn’t going to be an easy task.Thomas let out a slow breath. “They’re not just some street punks,” he muttered. “They’re part of a syndicate. A real one. Ex-military, most of them. Armed, trained, and completely unafraid of the law. They don’t just rough people up—they erase problems.”Tedmond’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t look shaken. “So what? I’m supposed to let a bunch of thugs run around with my phone like a trophy?”It wasn’t that Tedmond didn’t believe Thomas. He didn’t think the ones the Griffin family had hired were all that dangerous.They looked more like lackeys. Rough around the edges, sure, but not the real deal. Just pawns, not players.“I’m guessing those idiots at the Griffin mansion were just bottom feeders,” Tedmond said calmly. “The real syndicate must be behind the scenes. Probably gave th

  • CHAPTER 362

    Tedmond’s sharp tone made Hino flinch, even though the question wasn’t directed at him. The sheer intensity of the voice was enough to send a chill down his spine.Even Thomas, who had been quietly working through files to lighten Tedmond’s workload, froze, startled by the sudden shift in atmosphere. He hadn’t expected that tone either.Neil blinked, caught off guard. The weight of Tedmond’s glare reminded him instantly of the first time they met—cold, unyielding, and dangerous. He immediately tried to explain himself.“I just—I meant if—”“You meant to question me about her?” Tedmond’s voice rose, thunderous now. “You dare to ask if that woman’s child could be mine?”He stared at Neil, seething. The very suggestion made his blood boil. He hadn’t even touched Lisa, and even if he had, the timing would make no sense. They had been long separated. The thought itself was absurd, insulting even. But more than insulted, Tedmond was angry. If Neil had made such a careless comment in front
