Stefan preferred not to burden Raegan with his concerns, opting instead to gently reassure her: “I understand. Don't worry. "I'll have someone watch him."

Raegan nodded, grateful for his support. "Thank you, Stefan."

Raegan was aware that even if the man was located, proving his crimes would be difficult after so much time. The fact that the man was from Aurora only complicated things further. Without conclusive evidence, law enforcement would not be able to request extradition or make an arrest outside their jurisdiction.

For now, Raegan decided to focus on finding out who the mastermind was. Was it Lauren, or maybe Katie?

Given Lauren's death, only Katie among Raegan's acquaintances seemed capable and motivated enough to hire someone to commit a murder. If they got a confession from this man, Katie would have to face justice.

«What do you have to thank me for? “It's just a small favor,” Stefan commented, as he sheltered Raegan from the cool wind and walked her to the door.

«Enter now. "I'm coming back."

After seeing Raegan enter his villa, Stefan returned to his car and looked at the photo of the man with heterochromia once again.

He had previously hidden the identity of this individual. The man, Lorenzo Maxwell, was the youngest son of the leader of the Maxwell family, highly regarded by both his grandfather and father, and a prominent figure in his own right.

The idea of ​​a scion of the Maxwell family becoming a bounty hunter would seem far-fetched to most.

However, if it was Lorenzo, it seemed almost certain. Lorenzo had inherited characteristics from his mother, Peran Stevenson, a legendary Aurora beauty.

Peran, daughter of a hearse driver from the Maxwell family, had caught the attention of Lorenzo's father during a visit and quickly became his tenth wife.

In Aurora, where polygamy was permitted and common, Peran was especially liked by Lorenzo's father, although she was known for her unstable and often erratic behavior.

On one occasion, Peran cruelly shaved a servant's head in the middle of the night, stripped her naked, and left her out in the open to watch her slowly succumb to hypothermia.

The servants in his service rarely lasted more than three months, and their ends were more gruesome and strange than the last.

Lorenzo's father, blinded by his affection for Peran, covered up these macabre incidents.

In the end, Peran's lack of control led her to a tragic fate. She set herself on fire one night after giving birth.

Lorenzo's father, saddened, erected a monument to Peran, with the inscription: "My love for life."

As the son of Peran, Lorenzo was pampered from a young age.

At the age of six, Lorenzo was already showing his own cruel streak: he once pressed a cook's head against a hot griddle simply because he disliked the food, singeing the skin.

Unlike his mother, Lorenzo did not enjoy quick kills. He enjoyed the prolonged torture of his victims, delighting in their suffering as a cat plays with a mouse. Once he marked someone, he rarely escaped his clutches.

Currently, Ardlens was considered the safest refuge. Aware of Ambrosia's strict laws, Lorenzo moved away from the area and opted for Swynborough, according to the latest immigration records.

Stefan studied the photo of Lorenzo on his phone, his expression grim.

If it was really Lorenzo, things would get complicated, since he was not someone who could be taken lightly. Opposing Lorenzo would mean antagonizing the entire Maxwell family.

The Cliffords and the Maxwells, both influential in Aurora, had coexisted like oil and water without direct conflict.
