Chapter 196 What Are You Doing Here?

Under a bright, moonlit sky scattered with stars, a white Range Rover zipped across the coastal path of a remote fishing village in Lisboa City; its movements were wilder than the sea breeze.

The blood on the ground made him frightful, and Alexander’s legs weakened. Holding onto the hood beside him, he crouched down slowly, knees hitting the cement pavement. His expensive custom-made pants were stained with mottled blood and dust from the ground.

Moonlight shone on the pool of blood, reflecting the ashen look on his face.
