chapter 183

He felt a chill run across his spine. The years of training had honed his intuition to detect when anybody specifically stared at him. He would feel it in his bones. He shut his eyes and maximized his focus on his hearing.Mark smiled. "Come out the four of you. I know you want to talk to me."As he expected, four figures slowly crept out of the shadow and faced him. The four men stood in four different directions, keeping him covered within a perimeter and blocking his exit.Mark said, "May I help you?"Once again, they were the same four men who had the task to keep an eye on Lucy. As soon as Lucy left, they contacted the other members of Shadow Eagle to follow her home while they captured Mark here.The leader coldly said, "Come with us."Mark smiled. "May I know the reason?""No. We have orders to bring you to a certain someone. No questions asked. It is in your best interests to come with us without doing anything funny."His three subordinates pointed his gun at him. "Don't you dare move an inch or we have the liberty to kill you here right now."Mark kept silent with a thousand scenarios running through his mind.Are they related to the Mafia King? It seems that way. Then does that mean that they got a sniff of Luca's investigation?He squinted his eyes.That cannot be the case. I was careful. But then why would they target me otherwise?"Don't think anything funny, buddy. You are thinking something and it's in your best interests not to."Mark said, "I am just wondering who you are. I don't seem to have offended anybody recently.""You have offended somebody and that is why you are in trouble. Just shut your trap and come with us."Mark didn't have much choice. In fact, he found this as a good chance."Alright then. Take me to the man who I have seemingly offended. I am sure it is just a misunderstanding."---The moment when Mark stood in front of Eric, who was staring at him with an unreadable expression was when he felt that it may be indeed related to Luca.But he wasn't worried about himself.Lucy...if this is really about Luca, then is Lucy here too?He took a quick and discreet scan of his surroundings but didn't find her anywhere.Maybe they still have their suspicions only on me.
