Chapter 771

Chapter 771

That night, The Velvet Haven was abuzz with whispers and shadowy movements.

Elsie guided Hans through the dimly lit, opulent corridors of the establishment. The man trailing behind her was as silent and foreboding as a bat in the night, sending shivers up her spine

In a highly discreet room, Avery had been waiting for some time.

“Hans, I didn’t expect to see you again so soon,” Avery said, his smile spreading across his face as he handed Hans a glass of fine red wine. “You must be weary from your journey. I’ve prepared this top–shelf vintage especially for you.”

“I simply find it beneath me. The tasks you set for me are degrading.” Hans replied sharply, his words laced with an edge. “Sir appointed you to oversee Elmsworth, and all you can do to fend off enemies is.to kidnap their wives and children and seek outside help? This establishment of yours, The Velvet Haven, it’s time it goes under.”

But Hans didn’t care. He was Sir’s man and only followed Sir’s orders.

and simply said with a light chuckle, “Hans, the fact that we’re meeting tonight means Sir approves of my plan. You just need to cooperate. And I didn’t say my target this time is that young girl; she’s just a decoy. I know the previous
