A Film Queen

Chapter 364

Their stares were locked in a tough battle for superiority, as each seemed determined to completely overpower the other. Neither showed any sign of backing down, filling the air with a heavy tension that seemed to make it thick.

Danny watched the fierce showdown on the sidelines, his nerves on edge.

Should their groups actually go to war with the two branches of the Ghost Sect, it wouldn’t look good for the Tate family’s reputation in Halturia. But they were up against Halturia’s special forces! Fighting them wasn’t just a bad idea-it could get them labelled as terrorists, a stain not even old man Tate could protect them from.

At that point, even the Tates’ patriarch couldn’t protect them!

“Mr. Tate, try to stay cool!

“Mr. Scathings, please be patient!”

Just as the standoff appeared unbreakable and the pressure seemed its highest, the distant roar of an engine split the quiet, followed by a dust cloud.

Then, six or seven cars pulled up abruptly, with about ten bodyguards stepping out from each, all dressed in sleek black.

What was this about?

The lead car’s door opened, and Jordan, looking dapper in his suit, stepped out. A closer look showed the suit was wrinkled, unchanged from yesterday, and there were dark circles under his eyes – clear signs of a sleepless night.

After the meeting had ended, he got home past midnight, planning to head straight to bed. But he assumed Milly was up when he saw her room door ajar with light peeking out.

Thinking she was still up, he knocked on her door, suggesting she get some early rest. But he started to worry when she didn’t answer after a few tries. He went inside and found her phone was still recording.

He could see what was on the screen, even in the dim light.
