CHAPTER 209
The silence that followed the departure of the last emergency vehicle was concerning.Opulent Haven Hotel, usually alive with activity at this hour of the day, had descended into an unusual state of confusion and silence. The staff members moved hurriedly through the corridors, while a few guests stood at a distance, whispering among themselves as they tried to get the complete story what happened.At the reception desk, two female receptionists stood close to each other with their voices barely above a whisper."Did you hear what happened upstairs?" one of them asked, glancing towards the elevators, making sure that nobody was coming from upstairs."I heard there were three men in the suite," the other replied. "Unfortunately, one of them didn't make it.""Jesus Christ!!!" The first receptionist covered her mouth. "In this hotel?""Keep your voice down. The manager has already warned everyone not to discuss it with the guests."A male receptionist seated a little farther down leaned
CHAPTER 208
Someone tried to kill him, and whoever stood behind the attack was still out there. They might already know that he escaped. They might even be preparing for their next move.He looked down at his hands, remembering the struggle in the suite. He had fought his way through the danger, but surviving an attack wasn't the same as understanding it and that pissed him off.He desperately needs answers, and he needed to know who had been responsible for putting him in that position.The taxi eventually slowed to a stop near the address Rachel had given the driver.For a moment, she remained seated with her fingers tightening around the strap of her bag. She turned to Dylan, looking at him as though she still hadn't fully processed everything that had happened."Thank you, Dylan," she whispered as she swallowed hard and tried to force a small smile that didn't quite hide the emotions in her eyes."I honestly don't know what would have happened to me if you hadn't been there." She paused, look
CHAPTER 207
The taxi moved through the city traffic with its engine humming as the driver navigated the crowded road.Dylan sat beside Rachel in the back seat, his eyes seemed to be staring but his mind was absolutely somewhere else reminiscing about everything that happened.Neither of them had said much since they left the hotel. The events of the day had left too many questions hanging between them, and Dylan wasn't the kind of person who could simply forget something because he had managed to survive it.He will definitely want to see it to the end. Three men had entered his suite with the intention of killing him. That much was clear. But what bothered him was something one of them said.π«ππππ πππβπ ππ ππππ ππππDylan replayed the words in his mind.The attackers had been prepared to move. They knew the layout of the room, or at least enough to navigate it. Yet the moment they realised he wasn't where they expected him to be, something had changed. They didn't look confus
CHAPTER 206
By the time Germany reached the underground parking garage, the hotel's security team was heading toward the wrong floor.Someone had redirected the cameras.He didn't know how long the interference would last, and he wasn't interested in finding out. He crossed the garage without looking back, his hand buried inside his jacket where the encrypted phone rested.There was a black-tinted SUV waiting near the exit of the garage and the moment he approached, the rear door opened and Germany climbed inside."Drive." Germany said and the urgency in his voice was quite obvious.The vehicle pulled away before the door had fully shut.For several seconds, none of them spoke a word and the driver watched the road while Germany examined the phone in his hand, turning it over as though he might discover something new by looking at it from another angle."Sir, did you get what you came for?" the driver finally asked."Yes, I got the device, but I can't access it yet." Germany answered casually, hi
CHAPTER 205
There were mistakes you could afford to make, and then there were mistakes that followed you to the grave. This mission was beginning to look like the latter.The plan had been simple. Get in, retrieve what they needed, eliminate the loose ends, and disappear before anyone realised anything had happened. No evidence and no connection that would ever lead back to them. Killing the receptionist had only made things worse. The woman impersonating her had signed in using the real receptionist's identity that morning, creating the impression that she had reported for duty as usual. But if anyone checked the security footage or questioned the staff, they would soon discover that the real receptionist had never shown up at her post.That discrepancy alone could trigger an investigation. And the deeper investigators dug, the more likely they were to uncover something that should have remained hidden.And the worst part was that Dylan hasn't connected the dots yet.Well, that was the only a
CHAPTER 204
For a few seconds, the two men struggled.The ring leader was badly injured, but his strength and training hadn't completely left him.The unknown man gritted his teeth and pushed harder while the leader tried to twist free, but his body was already failing him.The blade slowly moved closer and then the unknown man overpowered him and slowly plunged the knife into his chest.The leader's grip finally loosened and his hand slipped from the stranger's worst and fell limply to the floor.For a moment, the man in black remained motionless, watching the last traces of life disappear from the assassin's eyes. Then he pulled the knife free, wiped the blade clean, and returned it to its concealed sheath.He drew in a slow and satisfied breath."One problem solved... Now let's get to the business." He whispered as he crouched beside the body and reached into the dead man's pocket retrieving a smartphone.At first glance, it looked ordinary. No unusual markings and no visible security hardware
