Chapter 307

Author: Only For You
At the hotel's front entrance, Michael felt his heart pounding in his chest.

"Mr. Giordano, we've searched every room, but there's no sign of them," one of Atlas' men reported.

Atlas stood with his hands behind his back, his face cold and unreadable. On the other hand, Michael let out a long sigh of relief.

'Thank goodness Finley managed to escape,' he thought. At least now, he would not have to bear the consequences of this disaster.

"Mr. Giordano, like I've told you before, you must have made a mistake," Michael said with a forced smile. "Our hotel isn't even open for business today."

Trying to sound as casual as possible, Michael was eager to get Atlas to leave before something went wrong. However, Atlas gave him a sharp, icy glare, and Michael forced himself to stay calm, staring back without flinching.

After all, he reasoned, Finley and Yvonne had already slipped out the back. Even if Atlas suspected something, he would not have any proof. Without evidence, there was n

    The Voice of the Oracle sneered. "You've already been marked. I'm giving you one chance—get on your knees now and accept the baptism. Otherwise, you'll be dragged into a pit of eternal damnation!" Andrew replied flatly, "Then I'll give you a chance—take off that stupid hood and show me your damn face! And while you're at it, drop to your knees and receive the gift of rebirth from me!" The Voice of the Oracle exploded with rage and reached for a weapon. Just then, a whistling sound could be heard, and a golden needle pierced straight through their palm. They only had time to let out a miserable scream before Andrew lunged in and landed a brutal kick across their face. The Voice of the Oracle spun a full 180 degrees in the air before crashing heavily to the ground. Andrew stepped forward, stomped on the person's chest, and yanked the hood off. It was actually a bald man. Right in the center of his shiny scalp was a tattoo of a red venomous snake. The Voice of the Oracle,

    Mason's face lit up with joy. "Voice of the Oracle, you've arrived!" His attitude was extremely respectful. The figure in black was completely covered from head to toe. There was no telling if they were a man or a woman. Even their voice was deliberately raspy, like their throat had been brutally wrecked the entire night. "Excellent, absolutely excellent! Mr. Ulrich, you haven't disappointed the High Oracle's faith in you. Keep up the good work, and someday, you'll become a person of immense power and influence!" Mason's smile grew even wider. He bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for your praise, Voice of the Oracle. "Everything I've done is to show my loyalty to the High Oracle. Fame and power are just secondary. As long as I can serve the High Oracle, I will die without regret." Andrew watched with a deepening frown. High Oracle? Who the hell was this supposed to be? Some kind of cult leader? Looking at Mason's behavior, it was like he had joined a pyramid sc

    Marcelo got straight to the point and asked, "Did you kill Cillian, your own father?" Mason froze, stunned. "Mr. Byrne, I don't understand what you're saying! My father passed away in a nursing home. I'm his son, so how could I ever do something so monstrous?" Marcelo did not answer. He simply stared at Mason with eyes like steel. Mason held the gaze, lifting his chin slightly as if to prove his conscience was clear. Finally, Marcelo gave a slight nod. "Fine. Let's say I believe you… for now. In that case, why don't you tell me how your father died?" Mason hesitated, stumbling over his words. "Well… Mr. Byrne, you've got me there. Ever since he was forced to step down, he had been… emotionally unstable. He kept rambling about Mr. Lloyd wanting him dead. Eventually, the doctors at the care center said he developed some form of schizophrenia." He continued, "Not long after, we received word that he had passed. Honestly, all of this is my fault. I wasn't a good enough son."

    The Ulrich family's funeral banquet started quite late. This was mainly because many people had come to pay their respects, and they were all prominent figures in Blumedale. Therefore, delays were inevitable. Behind the main house stood a three-story villa, isolating the location completely from the noisy front. Mason appeared at the villa's entrance, and the security guard at the door said respectfully, "Mr. Ulrich!" Mason grunted and pushed the door open to enter. The guard stood at the entrance with eagle eyes scanning back and forth. Surveillance cameras were also positioned all around the villa. This invisibly demonstrated the importance of this building. Andrew appeared silently at the corner of the villa. The camera above his head rotated constantly. Together with two other surveillance cameras, it formed a triangular surveillance system. This highly sophisticated algorithm could completely cover the villa's perimeter, ensuring no blind spots. However, the so-c

    Logan grumbled, "Even if Mason did want Cillian dead, I think he would've done it quietly. There's no way he'd let anyone find out." Andrew's eyes darkened. "And that is the most critical part of this whole thing. Everyone knows that after Mason took power, he was paranoid that Cillian might come back and reclaim the Ulrich family leadership. So, he shoved his own father into a nursing home to keep him out of the way." He continued, "But if Mason killed him directly? Then, the other Dragon Kings who were close to Cillian, like Marcelo, would've stormed in here and taken his head. And look at what happened… Marcelo did show up. From his reaction, it's clear that his bond with Cillian wasn't superficial." Aspen tilted her head. "Mr. Lloyd, Mr. Keller… do you think maybe Marcelo's appearance was just for show? Like, all that praying and mourning was staged?" Andrew shook his head. "It doesn't add up. You both remember how I deliberately provoked Marcelo earlier, right? If he had g

    Logan's suppressed anger nearly boiled over as he rolled up his sleeves, ready to go beat someone up. Aspen's face was also filled with fury. These bastards were being way too disrespectful. However, Andrew remained completely calm and said to Mason, "Arrange a room for me. I'll rest for a while, and call me when the banquet starts." Mason replied with a half-smile, "Of course, Mr. Lloyd. This way, please." Then, a younger member of the Ulrich family led the three of them around the corridor into a guest room. As soon as they entered, Logan punched the decorative screen. "Mason, that ungrateful bastard. We were the ones who helped him become the new head of the Ulrich family! Damn it, now he's turning around to bite us. I've got to find a way to take him down!" Andrew leaned back on the couch, comfortably crossing his legs. He beckoned to Aspen, who blushed but obediently came over to massage his shoulders and legs. "Don't get so worked up. I'm starting to get a cle
