The echoes of boxing and fighting sound, piercing screams, and the sound of bones cracking still lingered in her ears.

In the quiet night, a champagne–colored Rolls–Royce was parked in the dimly lit alley. Someone opened the car door for her. She stood by the door, glancing to her left.

At this moment, hurried footsteps approached. Someone respectfully reported, “It’s confirmed. After waking up at the private hospital in Serenburg, he flew back to the country, likely returning to Pearson Villa in Frostvale.”
