Chapter 622 Antheena’s Scheme
Troy successfully entered the parlor in Atlantis Hotel upon executing some of Zac’s subordinates. As soon as he laid his foot in it, the horrifying gunshots jarred into his ears nonstop.
“Troy?” Xavier, who was sitting in the lounge, called his name. Troy turned to that direction, only to see Xavier crossing his legs languidly on the couch while fumbling with his gun. Meanwhile, Conrad and Antheena were next to him too.
“What are you guys doing here?” Troy halted and headed to the lounge while observing them coldly. Xavier leaned against the couch and lifted his brow. “What’s the rush? It won’t hurt if we wait a little longer. Matthew Kings won’t get away with this.”
The victory was in their hands as it seemed like they had made a comprehensive plan. “Zac sent you?” Conrad inclined his body forward as his elbows rested on his knees. His right hand was pinching a cigarette and his face displayed hints of excitement.
“A hundred million for his head.” Obviously, he was referring to Matthew’s head. “Oh? Not bad.” Xavier chuckled and exchanged glances with Conrad. No one knew what was in their head.
Buzz! At that moment, Antheena’s phone vibrated. She inclined onto the back of the couch while unlocking her phone to read the incoming message. ‘Veronica went to the Primrose Residence.’
Following that, the person sent the exact location of Primrose Residence. Antheena skimmed through the text and glanced at Xavier from the corner of her eyes. Seeing how he was paying attention to the conversation with Troy, she heaved a silent sigh of relief as he did not notice the notification.
“We’ll be counting on you.” Xavier had high expectations for Troy. Meanwhile, Conrad discarded the cigarette into the ashtray before standing up to warm up his shoulders. “Time to hunt down the beast. I mustn’t be left out of the game.”
He planned to tag along Troy to witness how Matthew would be killed. His mind would be put at ease only when he saw him dead with his own eyes.
“Antheena, follow behind me, and be careful.” Xavier turned his head to shake his head worriedly at Antheena.
He did not wish to involve her in this fight of death, but she insisted. Thus, he had no choice but to bring her along.
“Don’t worry about me.” The ponytailed woman smiled at him confidently.
They joined the mess and bullets were flying everywhere at the scene. Screams and clanking noises mingled in the air of danger. Still, Matthew knew martial arts and it would not be easy to eliminate him.
They fought through for a while, but Matthew was nowhere to be seen. So, they went to the third floor. The first seven floors in the hotel were ballrooms while there were only suite rooms the higher they advanced. It was difficult for one to enter the tightly secured suite rooms.
After searching for more than twenty minutes, they failed to find Matthew’s shadow. At that moment, Xavier suddenly realized that Antheena had gone missing.
