Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 1020

"Besides, if Zephyr doesn't speak up, I have no reason to help him either." Alexander represented not only himself but also the entire Smith Co. A slight move could have a huge impact, so he must consider everything carefully. "You don't have to worry about this. I'll take care of it."

…

On a mountaintop in Wegas, a white convertible sports car drove along the wind and stopped gracefully on a platform by the cliff. At the same place, a man in a black windbreaker had been waiting there for a long time.

After getting out of the convertible, Zephyr walked straight to the man and stopped one meter away from him. As his gaze swept over the man's body, he locked onto the five-pointed star badge on his sleeve, which was proof of his identity as a member of Area X.

"Are you from Area X?" Zephyr broke the silence and spoke first.

At those words, the man turned around and leisurely took off his sunglasses. Under the shades, his eyes were dark and sinister with an unfathomable gaze.

"I just joined a few months ago, so technically, you're my senior, Sir Lorwhal." The man put on a mere smile as he tried to cozy up with Zephyr.

"Are you Matthew?" Within seconds, Zephyr recognized the man.

The Griffith brothers' entanglement was one of the points that he paid attention to when he was investigating Alexander. It was said that Matthew had been on the run and hiding, but he never expected him to become a member of Area X. So, he was curious about how a fugitive like Matthew managed to persuade the leader of Area X to allow him to join.

"It's great if you already know me. It saves me the trouble of introducing myself. It's almost dark now. How about finding a place to have a drink while we have a little chat?" Matthew's eyes narrowed into a slit as though he was concealing his true intentions with a smile.

"I have nothing to talk about with you. Hand over the person." Zephyr went straight to the point.

"Don't worry, Sir Lorwhal. She's safe with me. I'll take good care of her, but…" Matthew deliberately paused for a moment, looking a bit hesitant. "You know, her illness is very special and requires a lot of attention…"

"Just tell me what you want. I'm in a hurry." This kind of beating around the bush in negotiations was what Zephyr hated the most. Why can't people just get to the point?

"It's simple. One life for another!" A deadly intent flashed in Matthew's eyes.

"You want me to help you kill Alexander?" Zephyr immediately figured out his intention.

Both of us are members of Area X, and we have no personal grudges, so he has no reason to come after me. Therefore, it must be because he saw some value in me for him to seek me out. Zephyr was straightforward in his interpersonal dealings, so he could figure out who Matthew's target was within seconds.

"You're really the brain of Area X with your exceptional intelligence, Sir Lorwhal. Indeed, the one I want to deal with is Alexander. As long as you help me kill him, I guarantee to return the person to you unharmed." Not planning to hide his intentions, Matthew showed wild ambition in his eyes.

"You two are biological brothers. Do you hate him that much?" Zephyr tried to analyze Matthew's criminal psychology. Criminal psychology was one of the courses he took at Area X, and this kind of sick criminal who wanted to kill his own brother was simply a living textbook. Naturally, he wanted to gather more information from him.

"Hate? I wish to crush him and chop him up into a thousand pieces!" Matthew fell into madness when he recalled the past. "Do you know that Alexander has deceived you all? He's just a hypocritical villain! He betrayed his brother and snatched his younger brother's woman. Elise was the love of my life, but what did he do? He took her away from me! I'd feel better if he treated her well, but he caused her death. Even now, there's still no trace of her… Alexander destroyed everything I had. Shouldn't such a person deserve to die?!"
