Chapter 704 Reckless Kevin

I couldn't answer Alicia's question because I didn't even know where Shawn had gone. He told me he would be away for a few hours in the morning, but several hours had passed and he still hadn't returned home.

Shaking my head, I replied, "I'm not sure. He said he would be away for a few hours and should be back before the party starts."

Alicia sat down and asked with confusion, "What happened?"

Kevin quickly explained, "Don't worry. He must have had personal matters to attend to. Let's eat first, Mrs. Xenos."

Since he was the first to speak up, he must know something.

After the meal, I pulled Kevin aside and asked him secretly and obtained his truthful explanation. "We are indeed encountering some trouble, but they're just minor issues. He'll be back at the villa before the party starts."

What could be so urgent that Shawn had to rush over now?!

Shawn and I had power and influence, but the term "power and influence" was too vague. It could be divided into four categories—wealth, connections, ability to use those with power and influence for our own purposes, and our industries that were spread all over the world.

On the surface, we seemed to be in a glorious position, but in reality, when faced with major problems, we had to handle them ourselves. Shawn was right when he said there were dark corners in the world, and danger lurked in those dark corners. Most of the dangers were aimed at Shawn and me.

He also mentioned last night that it was easy to avoid a knife but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. Our biggest danger was not knowing when the enemies in the dark would see us, who were in the light, as their targets.

This time… the danger involved countless important figures.

Shawn, Alfred, as well as the latter's family.

It also involved Ezekiel, whose whereabouts were unknown.

He still hadn't replied to my message, so I started to worry.

I remembered the phone call Rudy had made to me earlier. He said that Ezekiel had been taken away by someone, and he also said that there were people behind him who were manipulating the current world.
