The Author's POV

Chapter 625

It was approximately 2 A.M. in Ashton city.

Darkness had already engulfed the entire city, with the city lights being the only source of light amidst the dark world.

In a certain high rise building.

Ding—!

The elevator doors quietly opened revealing two crimson red eyes that shone in the darkness.

"What a mess..."

Kevin raised his hand to clean his blood-stained face as his hushed, chilly voice echoed around the room.

A dozen or so corpses were exposed behind him as he exited the elevator.

He was greeted by a silent, dim hallway with a sizable wooden door at the opposite end. Additionally, there was a marble reception desk just next to the door, but it was empty right now.

While he walked, the cameras that were pointed in different areas around the hall exploded before they could get within his range.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

The sound of his rhythmic footsteps echoed inside the hallway.

He soon stopped in front of the door.

Knock—! Knock—!

He knocked on the door twice.

No one responded.

Knock—!

Kevin knocked on the door again.

"Huh? Who is it?"

A confused voice echoed from the other side of the door.

"Rowana? Why was I not notified of anyone coming here?"

"T..there shouldn't be anyone."

Kevin heard a female voice coming from the same room.

'Rowana. That must be the name of his secretary.'

Kevin thought to himself, reaching out for the door with his hand.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, he unlocked the door to reveal a posh office.

A large marble desk sat at the end of the office space with large windows that enabled one to overlook the city from above. There were tall bookshelves on the side of the room, all filled to the brim with books, in color order. The room's newly polished oak floor was covered with a rug, and the corner contained several stone statues.

The place looked extremely fancy, but that wasn't what took Kevin's attention.

At the moment, his eyes were drawn toward the half-naked women that stood beside a tall man with short brown hair and mean shaped brows. His clothes and hair were a mess, a clear indication of what had been happening moments prior to his arrival.
