“My boss just asked me to deliver some wine inside. I’ll be in and out in no time, and I promise I won’t cause you any trouble, guys!” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

After pocketing the thick amount of cash, the guard immediately changed his attitude. Alright, go on ahead. But once you deliver the wine, get out right away. Don’t linger inside!”

“Of course, of course!” Adam grinned sheepishly, and before entering, he handed the guard yet another bundle of cash. The guard beamed with joy and finally let him in.

The moment Adam stepped inside, he keenly sensed something was off. His eyes flashed with deeper vigilance, but leaving now would surely raise suspicion and jeopardize the entire operation.

He calmed himself, revealing no signs of suspicion on his face, and continued walking inside with large strides. But when he reached the room, it was empty.

Damn it! They had fallen into a trap!

Adam’s pupils contracted. He immediately felt his strength draining from his body, his muscles growing weak and limp. He tried to bite his tongue to stay awake, but it was useless!

The potency of the drug was intense.

Adam struggled to send a signal to his team outside, but his body grew weaker, collapsing to the ground.

“Trying to send a message outside?” A cold, commanding female voice suddenly rang out, filled with an aura of superiority. “Too late.”

Adam felt the voice was strangely familiar and tried to raise his head to see her face. But now, his body was so weak he couldn’t even lift a finger, let alone raise his head.

“We finally got you! You’re the ones who destroyed several of our bases and caused us significant losses, aren’t you?”

Thinking of the ruined bases, Jake couldn’t hold back his anger. He kicked him viciously, his tone fierce. “Tell me, who do you work for?”

Adam grunted in pain but remained silent.

“Tsk, still acting tough, huh?” Jake kicked him again, his tone violent. “Not talking? Take him away and torture him. Let’s see if he talks or not!

“Yes.” The hidden guards responded respectfully. They immediately grabbed the limp Adam, lifted him up, and exposed his face as they led him away.

“Stop!”

Yvette had remained calm throughout, but when she finally saw the man’s face, her normally composed and pale face showed rare shock.

“Adam…

“Mr. Quinn, we just got word that Mr. Adam has tracked down Master Xev’s whereabouts. He’s heading there to capture the person now…”

When Wilson heard Samuel’s report, his eyes narrowed as he pondered for a moment. His expression suddenly changed, and he spoke sternly. “Turn around.”

Samuel couldn’t help but ask in confusion, “Turn around? But, Mr. Quinn, weren’t you going to Murray Manor to see Ms. Yvette?”

Wilson had even postponed company meetings just to go see Yvette. Why the sudden change in plans?

Wilson’s dark, deep eyes were filled with coldness. “We need to find Adam first.‘

The underworld ruler Master Xev couldn’t be taken down so easily. There was no way Adam could have found her whereabouts so quickly. Something

“Yes, Mr. Quinn!”
