Gonzalez City, Azure Percival.
Ovidiu Cook's brother, Ludo Cook, was standing guard at the reception, trembling with fear.
This morning, Azure Percival had been booked by Ivan Reed himself.
And for the next three days, it could not conduct business with others.
The entire hotel staff, including the chefs, had been given time off, and were completely taken over by Ivan Reed's people.
This eccentric elder from one of the four major families in the capital had brought his many foster sons and followers, and stayed in the Emperor's Hall of Azure Percival for a whole day!
No one knew what had transpired that day.
Even Ludo Cook had no right to approach the Emperor's Hall.
He could only stand guard at the reception.
"So you still refuse to speak?"
On the sofa in the Emperor's Hall, Ivan Reed's eyes were slightly closed as he incessantly fiddled with the Buddha Beads in his hand.
Kneeling before him was Elwood Thorneycroft, covered in wounds.
"I am innocent... cough... cough..."
