Chapter 939:

"There's no way out, Katie," Mitchel said, his voice harsh and inflexible. “This hotel is surrounded by your former ally.”

"Surrounded? What kind of joke is this? Katie's face was a mask of terror and disbelief as she knelt, trembling. "How did you get Lorenzo to come here?"

Finally he said Lorenzo's name, revealing that he recognized him.

Knowing Lorenzo as she did, Katie refused to believe that Lorenzo would intervene just because Mitchel asked him to.

After all, Lorenzo had been blacklisted by Ardlens special forces five years ago and had shown little interest in returning.

Mitchel looked at her with a slight smile. "He is here because his beloved wife has died."

"His wife is dead, so why surround this place? I didn't kill her..."

Katie's voice cracked and her eyes shot open. He stared at Mitchel, stammering, “Was it… was it you?”

The smile on Mitchel's lips became more pronounced, and his silence was as loud as any confession.

It had not been Mitchel who had orchestrated the ambush, but it was on his territory that Lorenzo's wife met her tragic end, the victim of one of Lorenzo's numerous adversaries.

In response, Mitchel had devised a plot to convince Lorenzo that he, Mitchel, was responsible. His objective was clear. He intended to lure Lorenzo into a trap in Ambrosia.

Mitchel knew he had little time left. As long as Lorenzo was alive, peace was a distant dream for Raegan. After all, Raegan was still on his hunting list.

Driven by revenge and grief over the murder of his wife, Lorenzo, known for his vengeful spirit, would surely try to harm the woman Mitchel held dear.

To counter this, Mitchel soon announced his engagement to Katie, inventing a rekindled love story with his childhood sweetheart, which propelled his fabricated love story to the global stage.

Mitchel orchestrated everything meticulously, timing his movements to perfection. When Lorenzo appeared at the International Banquet Center, Mitchel had called in special forces, willing to assist in Lorenzo's arrest, even at the risk of his own life.

However, Lorenzo's resources and madness were surprising, as he had managed to secretly place explosives throughout the building.

Fortunately, Mitchel had foreseen this possibility. He had organized the evacuation of everyone present before Lorenzo's arrival.

Now, the building was empty except for Mitchel and Katie.

Mitchel was prepared for the worst. If Lorenzo discovered the trap and tried to escape, Mitchel was prepared to confront him. Both would perish in the explosion.

“Mitchel, have you gone crazy?” Katie exclaimed, her face deathly pale.

Katie figured out Mitchel's plan and knew Lorenzo well enough to predict his reactions. If Lorenzo believed that Mitchel had harmed his beloved, he would see her as the next target and torture her to death. By then, that madman would not forgive her, regardless of the truth.

Katie regretted the story she had fabricated in Lorenzo's presence, now exacerbated by Mitchel's continued declaration of their "affair."

Lorenzo would surely think that she was the woman Mitchel loved. No explanation would change Lorenzo's mind, given his vengeful nature.

He was one of those who sinned by excess rather than risk making a mistake.
