Chapter 421:
This time, Matteo had deployed top assassins, and Haleâs spies were not on a level high enough to be aware of this mission.
By the time Hale received the news, Matteoâs assassins had already set an unavoidable trap, prepared to hunt down and kill Harlee at the hotel.
Haleâs eyes were devoid of warmth, filled only with relentless ruthlessness and a fierce, bloodthirsty intent. Sutton Potter, Matteoâs subordinate, stood close by, his body trembling with fear. Trained by Hale and not under Matteoâs command, he hadnât anticipated that Matteo would deploy a squad of top assassins for just one assignment. Such ruthless power was truly frightening.
Sutton said respectfully, âSir, regarding Matteoâs actionsâ¦â Hale suddenly let out a sharp, piercing laugh. Sutton halted mid-sentence, fear taking over as he bowed his head, trying to make himself less noticeable.
Still, Haleâs cold gaze fell on Sutton, sharp and full of mockery.
âMatteo has always allowed me to do as I please, thinking it was his way of showing brotherly love, and that made me believe he would always meet my needs. Today, he gave me a harsh wake-up call, telling me I was too naive and that he looked down on me!â
Upon hearing this, Sutton crouched deeper, his face etched with fear.
âSir, Matteo has sent out almost all of his top assassins. Iâm afraid Miss Sandersonâ¦â
Hale pressed his lips together, his dark eyes cold and unsettling.
He cut in sharply, âHuh, so what if he sends his best assassins? Does he honestly believe Harlee can be taken down by these useless people? Does he really think Iâm just a brother at his mercy?â
Suttonâs fear deepened, aware more than anyone of the schemes Hale had orchestrated behind Matteoâs back.

Haleâs presence was ghost-like.
He left no traces wherever he went.
After releasing his anger, Hale fixed a cold look on Sutton.
âWhatâs the situation with Harlee? Any news? Have those top assassins encountered her?â
Sutton relayed the latest updates.
âMiss Sanderson is currently at the Guardin Hotel. Sheâs not alone. Thereâs a man and woman with her. It seems they had expected Matteo to send his top assassins, and so far, they appear untouched.
Furthermore, Miss Sandersonâs skills in evading surveillance are top-notch.
Despite the presence of over a dozen top assassins, she moves in and out of the hotel undetected, evading all attempts to track herâ¦â
An arrogant smile crept over Haleâs lips. That was typical of Harlee.
Even he couldnât fully predict her plans, so how could Matteo comprehend her fully? But regarding the man reported to be close to herâ¦
A dark spark flashed in Haleâs eyes.
âWhat about that man I asked you to look into?â
A drop of sweat slid down Suttonâs forehead.
He dared not withhold information, risking his life as he said, âHeâs Rhys Green, head of the Green Group in Mogluylia. Weâve exhausted our resources, even tapping into government channels, yet found nothing more than his basic profile.
Butâ¦â
