Shadow Slave novel Chapter 2483

Chapter 2483 Internal Strife

Sunny studied the luxurious interior of Mordret's opulent PTV, feeling a little… no, he was definitely not envious. Not at all!

'Whatever. There's no mobile command center or essence converter here… bah! There's no bed, even. What a peasant.'

Mordret shrugged.

"So, what do you think?"

Sending a handful of honey-glazed almonds into her mouth, Effie chewed them happily and added:

"Oh… I have a request. If it's not too forward, Detective Athena, may I ask for your autograph?"

"That was an entirely different issue. Morgan was just… confused. She was not herself."

Some time later, the PTV arrived at its destination. Mordret smiled apologetically.

"He seems nice. I am entirely sure that he is not… our… Mordret."

Taking the coaster, Mordret flashed them another smile.

He lingered for a moment, then asked in a neutral tone:

"Then? Nothing, I guess? My security arrived first, then the ambulances. I was taken to the hospital, and here we are."

Effie took the pen, lingered for a while, then laughed and signed it. "I can't believe that the CEO of the Valor Group is my fan. How strange… I'll have to tell my husband!"

Effie, who had been enthralled by the snacks in the lavishly stocked bar of the PTV, finally joined the conversation — leaning forward a little, she asked with a smile:

Sunny looked at Effie and raised an eyebrow.

Sunny and Effie asked a few more questions, slowly drawing the picture of the internal politics of the Valor Group.

"Not really."

"Oh, but please don't misunderstand. It could not have been him. The chairman… he's my uncle, you see. I know what is being said about us conglomerate families, but we are not like that at all. He would never do anything to hurt me."

He picked up an exquisite round coaster and offered it to her along with a pen that seemed to be more expensive than everything the two detectives owned put together.

Noticing a sharp glint in their eyes, Mordret laughed and raised his hands.

"Well, Mr. Mordret… you might be sure that your uncle would never conspire against you, but as detectives, we must investigate all possibilities. So, if you don't mind, we would like to interview him — as well as a number of other people in your immediate circle. The staff of your manor, for example."

Sunny raised an eyebrow.

His slightly shy smile was quite charming.

Mordret's expression darkened.

"And then what happened?"

'Not herself…'

"Did you not say that your sister tried to harm you?"

He cleared his throat and opened a notebook.

"If you'll excuse me now, detectives — I have already been absent for too long, so there's a mountain of paperwork awaiting me. I will ask my… my new driver to drive you back."

Mordret nodded.

"I see. Well, in any case, you indicated that someone inside the Valor Group might be behind the attempt on your life. Do you have anyone particular in mind?"

Mordret shook his head.
