Chapter 1371: Don’t Compare Me to People Like You

Chapter 1371: Chapter 1371: Don’t Compare Me to People Like You

Aurelia Shaw felt something strange in her heart, but she didn’t think too deeply about it.

At another table, two Eastern men were sitting, one with a lazy, sinister charm, the other aloof and indifferent. They deliberately restrained the hostility within them, blending into the dim lighting.

"The lead mentions a guy named Ian Wang will be meeting someone here. He has Mafia connections. It’s unclear if he was involved in the incident five years ago, but his name did come up." Grayson Quinn swirled his wine glass, appearing relaxed as he drank, but his low voice floated out, "Also, there used to be a woman who shared a cell with Aurelia Shaw, named Vespera Bennett. She was part of the Mafia five years ago but suddenly died violently. I checked the body; it had been switched."

"Alaric Wood won’t let anything happen to her, as long as she stays away from me for a while. She won’t be in any danger." He was worried about her after all. Mason Nightshade frowned deeply. He didn’t want her by anyone else’s side, but right now, he had no other choice.

Five years ago, the Mafia was a destructive force between them. He must eliminate them first.

After some time, he would take her back home.

At this moment, someone came in.

Mason Nightshade and Grayson Quinn instantly became alert.

"I instructed them to take action in five minutes," Grayson Quinn said.

It was hard to find any clues about the Mafia from five years ago. This time, they couldn’t let it slip by. Over the years, they had investigated, but those who participated in the mission with the Mafia five years ago were either dead or missing. When they did capture someone alive, they would commit suicide, leading to no progress in the investigation over the years.

This Ian Wang might have a direct connection with the Mafia from five years ago.

Five minutes later, the undercover special forces waiting outside the restaurant swiftly began their operation.

Ian Wang caught a glimpse of people approaching from the road, and his heart sank. He quickly scanned the restaurant, realizing they were being watched!

"Take the person away, leave immediately! We might be under watch!"

"What should we do now, Brother Biao? They seem to be from Country Z. Could they be... Mason Nightshade’s men?"

Ian Wang didn’t expect Mason Nightshade to trace it back to him, his eyes darkened. "Execute the original mission, take the person. If caught, you know what to do! Move!"

The intruders frightened the women in the restaurant, causing them to scream. Aurelia Shaw sensed something was wrong and wanted to leave but stood up only to feel a sudden dizziness—her drink had been spiked!

In her hazy vision, she saw someone coming towards her, and it seemed like she saw Mason Nightshade.

Someone grabbed Aurelia Shaw’s shoulder, trying to drag her inside. Aurelia threw a punch at the person’s face and staggered in the opposite direction.

Someone stopped Aurelia.

Vespera Bennett.

Aurelia was not surprised, "Your drink was spiked too? What’s the point? Attacking me doesn’t do you any good. Betraying Alaric Wood would lead you down a dead end anyway." Could it be... Aurelia’s face changed as a thought surfaced.

Vespera Bennett laughed out loud, "Aurelia, are you a bit pathetic? Even those who are genuinely good to you, you doubt. Who do you really trust? It looks like you have so many people around, but none that you dare trust with your heart. Quite sad, isn’t it? You look much more glamorous and beautiful than I do, but in reality, it’s no different. We’re both living in the painful darkness."

Aurelia’s red lips curled into a cold smile, "Don’t compare me to someone like you. At least I look glamorous and beautiful, but you... you’re filthy inside and out, never daring to show your true face, have you?"
