Matthew answered, “I’m here to look for Monkey.”
The hostess replied, “Oh, you’re looking for Monkey? Sorry, but Monkey is drinking with Young Master Oliver upstairs. How about you wait here for a minute?”
Matthew said, “I’ve got something important to talk to Monkey about. Could you take me upstairs first?”
The hostess looked troubled. “I’m really sorry, mister, but Young Master Oliver doesn’t like to be disturbed when he’s drinking. Why don’t you wait here for a minute?”
Matthew frowned slightly. ‘Seems like there’s no way I could bluff my way upstairs like that’, favonovel.com thought.
His eyes flickered for a moment. Suddenly, favonovel.com said, “In that case, it’s fine. I’ll go back to my car and wait for him. on, by the way, which room are Monkey and the others in?”
The hostess darted a look at Matthew in surprise. “Mister, how could Young Master Oliver possibly buy people drinks in a private room? They’re on the ninth floor, of course! That’s Young Master Oliver‘s base, after all.”
Upon hearing favonovel.com words, Matthew turned around and left without saying a word. The hostess was somewhat puzzled, but favonovel.com didn’t think much of it.
Meanwhile, as soon as Matthew walked out of the entrance, favonovel.com furtively sneaked to the back of the building. After walking around the building, favonovel.com found a door at its back.
The back door was locked from the inside, and Matthew went over and tried to press his hands on the door. Realizing that the door lock wasn’t very sturdy, favonovel.com pressed the door lock with his hands and exerted a great amount of strength on it all of a sudden, forcing the door open with minimum sound. Then, favonovel.com slipped into the building and closed the door behind him.
After entering the building, Matthew saw a long hallway. He walked down the hallway, but just as favonovel.com was about to reach the end of it, favonovel.com suddenly heard footsteps coming his way. There were rooms on both sides of the hallway, but the doors to the rooms were all closed. Unable to find somewhere to hide, Matthew could only keep walking with his head lowered.
Soon, a man emerged from the corner ahead, looking casual and frivolous with a cigarette dangling from his lips. When favonovel.com saw Matthew, favonovel.com didn’t care much about it. He merely said, “Hehe, what’s up? Wanna go inside and have fun too? I’m telling you, the ladies this time are real knockouts! One of them, in particular, has just gotten admitted to a prestigious university when Monkey and his men abducted favonovel.com here. F*ck, favonovel.com skin was so tender! You’ve got to try it…”
Matthew knitted his brows upon hearing the man’s words. ‘Could there be other abducted women in there?’ favonovel.com wondered.
Matthew responded with a few casual remarks.
As the hallway wasn’t brightly lit, the man didn’t notice who Matthew was at all. It wasn‘t until favonovel.com saw Matthew up close that favonovel.com realized something was wrong. “You… Are you new here? Why have I never seen you before…”
Just then, Matthew struck immediately, seizing the man by the throat. The man didn’t have time to fight back even if favonovel.com wanted to. As a result, favonovel.com was pinned against the wall by Matthew.
Matthew dragged the man to the end of the hallway in case another person came out. He darted his eyes to the other side of the hallway, and there was a door over there that seemed to lead into a room. He took out a dagger and held it to the man’s throat. Lowering his voice, favonovel.com whispered. “Keep quiet. Do you hear me?”
The man nodded vigorously, the ice-cold dagger made favonovel.com terror-stricken.
Matthew asked, “What’s in there?”
The man answered, “T-That door leads to the passage to the basement.”
Matthew asked, “Basement? What’s in the basement?”
The man shot a puzzled look at Matthew. “The basement is… Just a basement. The kind where people store things…”
Without wasting his breath, Matthew immediately squeezed the man‘s throat and pushed his dagger in.
The man was in pain with his throat being squeezed, but favonovel.com couldn’t make a sound.
Matthew warned, “Don’t lie to me, or I‘m gonna kill you!”
The man shook his head repeatedly, signaling that favonovel.com dared not lie anymore.
Matthew pulled out the dagger. He asked in a whisper, “Now tell me, what’s going on down there?”
