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.”
