Chapter 210
Elliot rarely bothered with people or matters that failed to pique his interest. His knowledge of individuals backgrounds only extended as far as necessary for research purposes
Still, he recognized the two men in his office. Earlier, Khad asked him to look into Leid Laurier and Jason Martinez Delving deeper, he uncovered their social connections.
As it turned out, both visitors were employed by Loid Intriguingly, one of them hailed from the esteemed Knight family of Bridgeport.
The situation fascinated lot. What had Venom done to provoke these men to the point where they demanded him from Alches?
Shaun smirked. The silver ear stud on his left ear reflected a jarring light. Digging out his ID from his pocket, he handed it over to Elliot. âThis is my ID
Elliotâs eyes wavered in shock when he saw the ID. Moments later, be returned the ID and explained, âAlchos has Halsed with the authorities. I believe you have no good reason or the capability to find trouble with us.â
âOh, Mr. Quade, you misunderstood us. This is nothing more than a routine patrol,â Shaun smiled. âItâs just a formality so that we can report back to our bosses.â
Elliot squinted before guffawing âSure. Go ahead, please.â
He personally led Shaun and Daniel to check out the premises starting from the first floor. Apart from the top floor, the rest of the floors were office areas.
Each year, Alchos would hire new graduates equipped with professional skills. The newbies would be assigned to different floors for their internships, and the top performers would be assigned to minor missions as training.
As Alchos was a famous name in the country, many candidates applied to work here. Hence, each floor was filled with many employees.
Shaon and Daniel appeared to be looking out for safety breaches in the building, but they were, in fact, silently scrutinizing the employees.
They continued until the eighth floor, but Venom was nowhere to be found Shaun knitted his brows together. He looked sideways at Daniel and whispered, âDid Loid make a mistake? Is Venom not here?â
Although he kept his voice low, Eliot still picked up every word from the conversation from ahead.
Elliot tilted his head and stole a glance at Shaun from the corners of his eyes, yet he said nothing as he continued leading the two men around Alchos.
Daniel replied in a whisper, âThere are two more floors left. We might find him somewhere around there. Donât panic for now.â
Shaun nodded but remained concerned.
After they toured the ninth floor, Shanâs face turned ashen. âWhat the fuck? Why isnât he here?â
âOnly the tenth floor is left.â Daniel appeared troubled as well, but he firmly believed in Loidâs assessment Venom could not be anywhere else but Alches.
âDamn it! Thatâs where Elliot Quadeâs office and the Elite Four are. Theyâre rarely there. How the hell do we locate Venom on that floor? Plus, we canât risk getting on Elliot Quadeâs bad side. We might need his help later.â
Elliot unexpectedly stepped in with a generous offer. âSince youâre here, why not check the tenth floor thoroughly? You wonât be making more routine visits to Alchos, right?â Shaonâs expression hardened. Smiling awkwardly, he turned down the offer. âWeâll skip the tenth floor. I doubt weâll find anything there.â
âYou should take a look. I can be a careless man. Who knows if Iâve overlooked some safety measures?â Elliot insisted as he pressed the elevator button for the tenth floor.
Shaun made the daring decision to follow suit. As expected, Venon was nowhere to be found on the tenth floor.
âWe apologize for any inconvenience. Itâs time for us to report back.â Feeling humiliated and angered, Shaun quickly said goodbye to Elliot before leaving Alchos with Daniel.
