The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 802

In the morning, they had an incredible harvest in the vineyard.

The triplets looked into their baskets, which were filled with grapes, and they couldn't have been happier.

"Uncle Jean, can we take all these grapes home? We worked hard to pick them!"

They all asked for Jean's permission.

Jean waved his hand and agreed.

...

Early in the morning, Alfonso went to the room to wake Maddox and Mason up to have breakfast. But when he stood outside and knocked for a while, no one came to answer the door. He felt puzzled and decided to call them on their phones.

Then Alfonso heard a ringing sound coming from inside the room. They are clearly in the room; why are they not opening the door?

After knocking a few more times with no response, Alfonso started to feel something was amiss. Could something have happened?

With that thought, he did not want to waste any time and quickly went to the front desk.

Upon hearing the situation, the staff immediately took action and opened the room door. Then Alfonso entered and found the room a bit messy, with the coffee table and sofa askew. But the two beds were neatly made.

Alfonso was stunned. It seemed that Maddox and Mason might not have slept here last night! Something is wrong!

The staff was startled upon seeing this and immediately suggested calling the police.

Alfonso pondered for a while. Hold on! Maddox and Mason were involved in the black market! Calling the police is definitely not a good idea!

Alfonso quickly grabbed the staff's phone and made up an excuse.

"They might have gone to a bar last night. Let me try contacting them again. If I can't reach them, I'll consider calling the police. You can leave now."

After confirming again, the staff did not ask further questions and left.

Alfonso returned to his room and felt somehow anxious. Then he called someone.

The person on the other end was an assistant on the black market.

As soon as the call connected, the assistant asked Alfonso, "What's the matter?"

Nervous, Alfonso quickly explained the situation on his end.

"What did you say?"

The tone on the other end immediately turned serious and dissatisfying. "Did you make the call?"

Alfonso replied, "Yes, I did, but their phones were left in the room, and now I can't reach them. What should we do?"

There was a brief silence on the other end before the assistant said, "Wait."

Then the call ended. Alfonso waited anxiously in the room.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Staring at the door for a couple of seconds, Alfonso asked with fear, "Who is it?"

"Open the door!"

Outside the door, a raspy voice demanded

Alfonso hesitated for a moment and walked over to open the door.

Two men stood outside the door, one of them with a long scar on his right cheek.

Alfonso looked puzzled and asked, "Who are you?"

The man with the scar on his face pushed Alfonso aside and walked in.

The other man explained, "This is my boss, the leader of the black market. You can call him Mr. Asher.'"

Upon hearing this, Alfonso was instantly horrified. I had never expected Mr. Asher to come here personally! Moreover, we are in Essley! He must have already been here for some time! It seemed Mr. Asher had a strong interest in ANXIN Group!

Alfonso's thoughts raced, and he became even more nervous after he thought about it.

On the other hand, Asher sat on the sofa and took a deep drag on his cigarette.
