Chapter 422:
Sutton paused, his fear noticeable as he debated whether to continue, worried about the consequences.
Haleâs expression twisted into a stern smile.
âContinue.
But what exactly?â
Sutton, feeling cornered, said, âWell, our contacts in Mogluylia suggest that Miss Sanderson and Mr. Green might be engaged.â
Enraged, Hale snatched an ashtray from the table and threw it at Suttonâs forehead, blood starting to drip down from the corner of Suttonâs eye. Sutton remained still, blood covering his vision, his face taking on a grotesque appearance.
âUseless! All of you are useless! What do you mean âmight beâ? Dig deeper! I need complete details about Harleeâs ties with that man, everything about him, his activities, his location! If you canât figure it out, this is where your life ends.â
âNow, leave!â
With his face half-covered in blood, Sutton bowed deeply and hurried out. Meanwhile, Matteo was seething with anger.
âIdiots! Sheâs right there in the hotel, and youâre telling me you canât make a move? Worse, you let her roam free? Iâm giving you three days. If you havenât resolved this by then, consider yourselves dead!â
Matteo hurled the object he was holding at the people kneeling before him. Then, his phone rang. Upon seeing the caller ID, Matteoâs eyes narrowed, and he pressed the answer button.
âWhy are you calling, Mr. Sanderson?â

âPull back your top assassins. If theyâre not out in an hour, I will disassemble one of your gangs. Two hours and two of your gangs disappearâ¦â Kareemâs voice was cold, his tone commanding.
Laughing derisively, Matteo said, âKareem, who do you think you are to threaten me?â
Kareem didnât give him a chance to respond.
âGo ahead. Try me if you dare.â
With a click, the call ended abruptly.
Matteoâs eyes gleamed with anger.
As the underworld leader in Uwhor, how could he possibly fear Kareem, a man from Mogluylia? That was absurd!
Two hours later, his men came in to report.
âMr⦠Mr. Walker, the Ivory Skeletons have been completely wiped out. Their entire gang is gone.â
âWhat?â Matteo sprang to his feet.
The Goldstone Club, Uwhorâs most prestigious private venue, catered exclusively to the affluent and powerful. On any given night, the club would be teeming with well-dressed patrons, the queue stretching even beyond three oâclock. Tonight, however, an unusual calm had settled over the establishment. Only staff and a few rarely seen executives roamed the premises.
This abrupt shift in atmosphere was attributed to Matteoâs arrival.
As he stepped through the doors, the usual crowd hesitated. Their desire to enter was quickly quelled by the imposing presence of Matteoâs men. Those who initially protested were swiftly silenced, their complaints dissolving into forced smiles as they came face to face with his entourage.
