At 10 pm, Erin and Holly’s flight arrived at Aunder. When they came out from the airport, they immediately hailed a taxi that left straight for King Midas Club.

Hans, who had boarded the same flight, had followed them in another taxi behind, keeping his distance.

to Tony’s request. How dare he make such an extreme demand? Erin almost stood up and yelled at him. However, at the thought of her parents still being held hostage, she suppressed the anger in her heart and said, “Tony, if Grayson has really hurt your men. I apologize. Can’t we offer compensation?
