Chapter 454: Calling up assistance
Isabella Heart stepped inside first.She was dressed in an elegant black trench coat over a silk blouse, her sharp, breathtaking features set in a serious, focused expression.Right behind her was Adam Smith, adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes sharp and alert.The moment both powerhouses stepped into the living room, their eyes locked onto Alistair, and without a second's delay, both offered a deep, respectful bow."Master Reid," Isabella and Adam spoke in unison.Cassandra's breath hitched.She nearly dropped her glass.These were two of the most untouchable figures in the entire province—people even the city's mayor had to treat with immense delicacy—bowing like subordinates before a young man in his twenties."Sit," Alistair commanded mildly, gesturing to the adjacent leather armchairs.Isabella and Adam took their seats instantly, their gazes briefly flicking to Cassandra. Isabella’s sharp eyes recognized the famous runway model immediately, noting the subtle anxiety in
Chapter 453: Elite World Group
"Human trafficking under the guise of glamour," Alistair murmured, his voice dropping into a register of terrifying, calm absolute authority. "A foul sickness hiding behind a polished mirror.""I barely managed to escape that night," Cassandra continued, her voice trembling slightly as she relived the memory, though the steady presence of Alistair kept her grounded. "While trying to find a way out of the compound, I stumbled into one of their private administrative offices. I found a physical, encrypted ledger detailing their clients, their distribution routes, and every high-ranking official protecting their operations."She looked out the window as the coastal breeze began to sweep through the city, the tall yachts of the Haven Marina appearing in the distance beneath the twilight sky."That's why they froze my accounts, why they hired mercenaries, and why they crashed my car," Cassandra said, turning her head back to face him, her jaw set with newfound grit. "They aren't just tryin
Chapter 452: The reason for Cassandra's predicament
The leader’s eyes narrowed, his grip on Cassandra tightening as he raised his firearm, pointing it directly at Alistair’s chest. "Mind your own business, buddy, unless you want a second belly button. Drive away while you still can."Alistair took a single step forward, his expression completely unbothered by the barrel aimed at his heart. "A threat? How remarkably unoriginal.""Kill him," the leader spat to the two men in trench coats.Before the nearest henchman could even reach into his jacket, Alistair vanished.To Cassandra's eyes, he simply dissolved into a blur.A sharp gust of wind swept through the narrow alley, followed by two sickening cracks in rapid succession.The two men in trench coats collapsed to the pavement like ragdolls, their limbs bent at unnatural angles, completely unconscious before they even hit the ground.The leader gasped, his eyes widening in pure horror as he tried to pull the trigger.Clang.A hand reached out with impossible speed, effortlessly catchin
Chapter 451: Caught in the act
Keeping her head bowed and her hands tucked deep inside the pockets of the oversized sweater, she moved briskly up the stone steps and through the revolving glass doors into the bank's grand marble lobby.She felt like a ghost haunting her own life, avoiding eye contact with the security guards and patrons alike.Spotting an open teller window toward the private accounts section, she hurried over.The accountant behind the desk, a middle-aged woman with sharp glasses, looked up. "Welcome to Central Commerce. How may I assist you today?"Cassandra reached into her pocket, pulling out her high-tier platinum black card along with her government ID, sliding them across the marble counter. "I need to make a maximum emergency cash withdrawal from my primary vault account, please."The accountant swiped the card and typed in the account number.A moment later, the woman's brow furrowed.She tapped a few more keys, her expression shifting to one of confusion and subtle distress."I'm sorry, m
Chapter 450: Lead the way
"I... I'm sorry for being guarded earlier," Cassandra said, taking a step toward him, her tone thick with genuine remorse. "It's just... the people who attacked me aren't normal criminals.”“Oh?” Alistair raised a brow.“They are very powerful and they have their hands in almost everything in Haven. If they found out I told you about them, they might come after you and it would be horrible of me to put you in danger all because I decided to involve you in my business.” Cassandra explained.“Is that so? Well then, I won't press you for any details. You do what you feel is right.”“I will.” Cassandra remarked. Then, she intoned. “I know it's not my place to ask but can you help me out?”“What do you need?” Alistair asked. “I need a change of clothes and I need your help with getting to the bank.” Cassandra said.Alistair could see the fear in her eyes as she spoke as well as a deep seated resolve.Whatever she was involved in must be big, so big that even a popular figure like Cassand
Chapter 449: A request for a meeting
Inside the quiet VIP suite, Sara slumped back against her pillows, the silence in the room pressing down on her like a physical weight. Her chest heaved with shallow, frustrated breaths.Tears of utter helplessness threatened to spill over her lashes.Adrian’s sharp, cruel words echoed relentlessly in her mind. Your family debtors are on your neck... Connor Group is already dead... homeless in a few days.Every word was a nail in the coffin of her pride.She hated Adrian’s arrogance, hated her parents for trying to sell her off like a piece of distressed real estate, and hated the sheer vulnerability that forced her into a corner.She reached out with a trembling hand, her fingers closing around her phone on the bedside table.Instinctively, her thumb hovered over a contact name she hadn't dared to call in days.Alistair.Biting her lower lip until it turned white, she dialed the number.The call connected almost instantly.On the second ring, that familiar, smooth, effortlessly comm
