Chapter 107: Chapter 106: The Old Master’s Story

PM.

Luna had already headed to the One Realm Hotel on the outskirts with several bodyguards under Norman Bennett.

Ready for an ambush!

After arriving at the hotel, Luna sent the room information to Feng Ming as planned yesterday, and the man replied, saying he’d arrive at 8 PM sharp.

While waiting, Luna reported the progress of the investigation to Elliana Lyle.

When Elliana saw Luna’s message immediately, she looked worried.

Luna (Mentor): "We’ll catch the person involved with the loan shark business tonight, don’t worry."

Maomao: "Be careful, pay attention to safety, and it’s better to take a few more people with you."

At this moment, the car stopped, followed by a gentle voice from the man: "We’re here." He then leaned over to unbuckle her seatbelt.

Getting out of the car, Elliana took a closer look at the surroundings. It was a courtyard outside the city, resembling a vacation villa with its tall and long staircases.

Norman Bennett also informed her that this used to be a Bennett Family vacation villa. Later, due to its remote location, fewer and fewer people visited.

Moreover, a forest retreat town was specifically built several miles away in South City! Even if this place was abandoned, the Bennetts would always send someone to maintain it, and only Norman’s grandfather would come here for a short stay each year.

Walking up the straight and high staircases to the top, a modern-style villa appeared before her eyes. The villa had small parks, pebble paths, and a lotus pond. Although the place was big, it felt neither empty nor desolate.

"Let’s go."

The man held her hand and walked straight inside, carrying a big bag of groceries in the other hand. They walked across the pebble path and reached a specially built small villa, obviously different from the other buildings.
