Hearing that, Philip sneered. However, he was unconcerned. He took the tablet and said, “Okay, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go upstairs.”
Moses quickly stopped Philip from leaving and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, I have another piece of confidential information here that I’m sure you’ll be interested in.”
Philip looked at Moses and asked, “What is it?”
Moses looked around before he approached Philip and said, “It’s about your sister, Hannah Clarke.”
Philip frowned and said, “What do you know?”
Moses smiled mysteriously and said, “I don’t know anything, but I know someone who does.”
Hearing this, Philip’s face became very dark.
After Moses left, Philip stood in the lobby with Moses’ last words echoing in his mind.
Cleo Lovelace! Cleo was actually in Mystic City too!
Philip’s eyes dimmed before a biting cold light suddenly erupted.
Then, he turned around to go upstairs when suddenly, a group of people in strange clothes with their faces covered barged in from the hotel door. The guy in the lead had his muscled arms exposed and was dressed like a bounty hunter. He had a machine gun in his hand and fired one round indiscriminately.
He shouted angrily, “Damn it! Who’s the boss here? Get out here right now!”
Behind him were ferocious-looking thugs with guns!
Seeing this scene, some guests hid under the table in fear, while others remain seated as they indifferently drank tea and chatted. Soon, the boss scrambled out with a money box in his hand, bowing and saying, “Kind sirs, I’m just running a small business here. The money is all here.”
The leader opened the money box and looked at it with a grim sneer all over his face. He held his gun to the boss’ chin and said, “You’re quite sensible, but this is too little!”
Hearing this, the boss knelt on the floor and said with a bow, “This is everything I have!”
“That’s all? Give me your life, then!”
The burly man pulled the safety off and aimed the gun at the boss’ head!
