Chapter 680

Tiffany moved swiftly through the darkness.

Avoiding all surveillance cameras, she pressed herself against the wall, listening carefully to the surroundings. Once certain the coast was clear, she climbed up to the second floor of the villa.

This was Felix’s stronghold.

Guards patrolled the hallways at regular intervals. Their presence showed this place was heavily guarded.

Using diversion tactics and careful maneuvers, Tiffany evaded another patrol and finally made it to Felix’s bedroom door.

Footsteps echoed from around the corner again. It was another patrol approaching.

Tiffany turned the doorknob quietly and slipped into the room.

She knew her actions were risky and bold, but she had no choice. She had to find out if the shadowy figure was connected to Felix, and whether Felix had anything to do with Richard’s disappearance.

The door closed softly behind her, and the footsteps outside passed without incident.

Relieved, Tiffany exhaled.

But as she turned, the room suddenly flooded with light. The glaring brightness forced her to squint reflexively.

Tiffany’s heart sank. She instinctively assumed a defensive stance, scanning the room.

Felix stood by the bed. His gaze fixed squarely on her, as though he had been expecting her.

Tiffany’s heart skipped a beat. She had infiltrated this place with utmost secrecy, yet Felix had discovered her.

Clearly, escaping unscathed would not be easy.

Gripping the weapon in her hand tightly, Tiffany looked at Felix warily. Neither of them spoke.

An eerie silence hung heavy in the bedroom.

After a few tense moments, Felix moved. His steps were deliberate, slow, as he advanced toward her.

Tiffany furrowed her brow and raised the blade. “Stop right there.”

But Felix seemed not to hear her. He continued his steady approach.

The bedroom was spacious, but soon the distance between them shrank to no more than ten steps.
