Listen to this chapter:

At the same time, inside a villa on Mount Zircon, Henry sat with Grace and Edwin. Three martial saints had gathered in the room.

โ€œMr. Fischer, are your injuries alright?โ€ Grace asked, her tone not the slightest bit concerned.

Henry stared out the window at the breaking dawn and said coldly, โ€œNot enough to kill me.โ€

Grace gave a twisted smile. โ€œWho wouldโ€™ve thought that even someone as cautious as you could get ambushed?โ€

Henryโ€™s cheek twitched. If Eric and Andrew had not been there to distract him, he never would have slipped. Moreover, Ericโ€™s attitude now was distant and uncertain. It was obvious that he no longer intended to return to him.

The thought filled Henry with fury. If Eric had truly fallen for Andrew, then what did that make him? That bastard not only tricked him last time, but now it seemed he was stealing his man, too. His feelings for Eric were complicated, like a treasure he could never allow anyone else to touch.

Edwin finally spoke. โ€œMr. Fischer, if you hadnโ€™t been caught off guard, you still wouldnโ€™t have revealed the saintess of the Greene family, would you?โ€

Henry turned, his face cold. โ€œMr. Pennyworth, this isnโ€™t selfishness. I only thought it unnecessary to notify the McCormicks until we tested things first.โ€

Edwin smirked. โ€œWhether it was a test or whether you meant to keep it for yourself, only you know. But it doesnโ€™t matter anymore. The McCormick family is determined to get the Greene family saintess! They will storm the Majestic Hotel at dawn. If that convict refuses to hand her over, then heโ€™s in for his death.โ€

Henry frowned. โ€œSomething about this whole thing doesnโ€™t feel right. I donโ€™t think the Greene familyโ€™s saintess is at the Majestic Hotel.โ€

Grace scoffed. โ€œThatโ€™s not necessarily true. Ever since we entered Goldridge, the Blues and their lackeys have locked down the hotel completely. That much security speaks for itself. The saintess must still be inside, or else they wouldnโ€™t guard it so tightly.โ€

Henry thought it over. Her explanation was not unreasonable. He gritted his teeth. โ€œOne more thingโ€ฆ Andrew is back in Goldridge.โ€

Edwin gave a cold snort. โ€œThen letโ€™s make sure he never leaves this place alive.โ€

Grace cackled. โ€œIf either of you can pay the price, Iโ€™ll gladly take his head for you.โ€

Henry and Edwin said nothing, ignoring her. After all, her fees were outrageous, and she had already drained enough from them.

Besides, killing Andrew could wait. What mattered now was seizing Shiloh.

Outside, the sky was growing brighter. Edwin rose and said, โ€œThe McCormicks should already be moving. Iโ€™ll go take a look.โ€

Grace yawned. โ€œSince neither of you is paying, then Iโ€™m going home to sleep.โ€

Soon, Henry was alone in the villa. Slowly, a cold smile spread across his face.

He muttered, โ€œThe McCormick family is going to come up empty-handed this time! The real saintess definitely isnโ€™t at the Majestic Hotel. This is all just one big deceptionโ€ฆ But while they can fool others, they canโ€™t fool me! After I get her, Iโ€™ll definitely kill that Andrew kid and take Eric back. I wonโ€™t let anyone else touch whatโ€™s mine!โ€

After that, he made a phone call.
