Chapter 1397

Thunder rumbled through the fifth-floor room as Juan staggered inside, his clothes drenched in blood.

Jeffrey's gaze remained fixed on the portraits on the wall. "Well? Did she talk?"

When no answer came, he turned and froze. Juan's clothes were a crimson mess. A bloodied knife clattered to the floor between them.

He seized Juan's collar. "I told you to interrogate her, not kill her. Did you get the location of the treasure? Answer me."
