Evan plopped onto the sofa in the living room, his eyes,portraying a mix of both annoyance and guilt.He felt that he had enough time to have stopped what happened, but that was not his main concern, his concern was that the masked man was skilled, and no matter how hard he tried to guess, he still was unable to figure out who it was. It infuriated him.Although it was fortunate that Atalion was still breathing. Being in a Coma did not mean death. Evan felt that he brought it upon himself as he had come to the city because of Edward. He still couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something wrong. And there was also the fact that the Mayor's facial expression showed that he knew that an attack was imminent.Evan was certain that he had seen a smile on Edwards's face, but he had no idea if it was real or if he had just imagined it as his focus was on the masked man.He closed his eyes and just then began to hear loud footsteps. He opened his eyes, realizing that she was on her w
Vera was even more startled by the question, but she didn't show it. Instead, she shook her head."No idea—I have been busy, you know."Evan nodded. She had told him about some moguls that she needed to entice."Why? Let me guess, you saw her at the event."He glanced at her and she smiled. "You're so predictable, you know.""And that's because you know me.""So what happened?" She asked again. She was already getting very curious."Well, that's it."She shook her head, but just as she was about to say something. He interrupted her immediately."I want you to hack into the CCTV. There are tons of them in that location that could give us an idea of whoever the culprit is."Vera knew that for him to have asked her to have the security camera, meant that something was indeed very wrong. The thing is, she had no idea how wrong was the wrong."Well?" He glanced at her as he noticed that she wasn't saying anything and she grinned."Sure thing boss. Come with me. It wouldn't take time," she
Evan stood up and walked towards the source of the sound, while Ezra stood behind the cabinet, her heart thudding wildly as she thought about what Evan would do when he saw her.Just as Evan was about to look behind the cabinet, one of Vera's burner phones which was only used to contact one of their spies began to ring and Evan halted in his tracks and slowly spun around to face Vera.She turned the phone to him and he furrowed his brows as he saw that it was an unknown caller."What—" Vera scrunched her face. She was convinced that the line was secure. She had no idea why an unknown caller was calling the line."I can hack it quickly to get the location and a name—-" Vera was saying when Evan held out a hand to her."No, there's no need for that."Vera narrowed her eyes at him, wondering what he meant by telling her to not check who it was.She raised a brow, realizing that he must've known or guessed who was calling."Who is it?""We have much bigger concern than one phone call whic
Evan was up early the following morning and began to train as he tried to get some things off his mind.He knew that Klaus, using his strategic power would be able to tell whoever did that and if he was being honest with himself, one of the reasons he couldn't sleep was the fact that he was too consumed with curiousity. He wanted badly to know which of the powerhouses was responsible for what happened.Ezra watched from afar, noting that he was worried and that was why he looked this edgy. She went back to her room quickly, before she would be found out and have to explain what she was doing, eavesdropping on someone else's conversation.Evan felt that he was being watched and his sharp eyes darted around, but he was met with nothing. He sighed and decided that he was thinking too much and now he was imagining things.He threw his sword to the tree and smiled that his aim was still as always, perfect.He stood up and began to walk back inside the house. He knew that William and Klaus
Evan was watching the security footage again in the sitting room, trying to find out if there was something they had missed.He was certain that they had missed something as it wasn't normal for him to not have a clue as to what happened and He wasn't sure about Edward's expression.Or perhaps it was too difficult for him to believe that Edward watched someone who was considered his friend being attacked.He sighed and paused the video as he stood up, feeling the urgent need to use the toilet.As soon as he stood up, Ezra, who had been watching then decided to take a bold risk of glancing at and the video to herself.Just as she was about to play the video, she heard footsteps and she quickly stood up and her eyes darted around for a place to hide.She was too slow and realized that it was better to just act like she just couldn't down.He glanced at her and then at the video as she greeted him without getting back a response from him.She decided that it would be better if she hung a
Evan was looking at the video again,he still couldn’t stop as he had a feeling in his gut that he had overlooked something.“I wonder what it is,” he muttered to himself and frowned,just as Claus joined him.“Any news?” He questioned and Claus shrugged.“I still can’t figure it out. Vera said you wanted to rule the mayor out.”Evan smiled lightly as he remembered that he wanted to actually rule Edward out as the suspect. Although,he couldn’t figure it out why Edward would want to kill Atalion,there was no reason to. Although he couldn’t say that their friendship was a justification to rule him out,because in the business world,there was no such thing as friendship.“Is that the security footage?” Claus asked and he nodded.“I’ve been going through it and I think there’s something I’ve missed,you need to check it too. There’s probably something I missed,but you can see,” he gave the tablet to Claus.“You didn’t give it to Vera?”He shook his head. Vera too had gotten tired of checking
“What was it you wanted to say to me? I mean…it's pretty surprising that you will invite me to your mansion instead of the address you sent to me.” Evan said with a smile on his face as he glanced at Edward at the same time.This man ...What was it you had in mind that time seeing Atalion crash to the floor?I can't seem to understand you so well. Evan thought as he glanced at Edward who also had a calm expression on his face as though he was thinking about something.And Evan knew that it surely had to do with him. The second thing that bothered his mind was the fact that Edward hadn't said a word since his arrival. Edward got up from the eames lounge chair he had been sitting on and walked towards the table behind him. On the table, a bottle of exquisite whiskey and two tumblers were sitting on it, eagerly anticipating the arrival of the guest Edward had called in and with a swift grab, he opened the bottle while pouring some of the content into the tumblers just enough for them t
“What do you have?” He asked immediately he spotted her after returning from the meeting. “So this is what I saw” she announced, turning the laptop to him for him to view what was on display. It was a CCTV camera footage, the black and white quality made it difficult for him to see the face of each passerby but he could identify their genders with their physiques.It seemed like a regular street scene , with people walking in and out of frame going about their day like no cares in the world until one particular figure caught his eye. A lady figure wearing a caught with a distinctive gait, appeared on the screen. She looked suspicious as she kept looking back and forth for some reason before disappearing into the mansion.'What am I looking at, Vera?' Evan asked, his voice low and urgent.'That's the south entrance to Rose street where the event was held,' she replied, her eyes locked on his. 'And whose that lady entering there” “Keep watching and find out” she simply said.Evan's mi
