Chapter 255: Chapter 255

Meanwhile, Steven Everett received the news, and a rare smile appeared on his stern face.

"Brothers, we’ve tracked Lord Moros’ whereabouts. This time, we must capture him.

Hearing this, the other team members were also invigorated, their faces showing joy.

"Fantastic, finally some news on Lord Moros’ whereabouts. Heaven has rewarded our relentless investigation!"

"Yes, indeed, this is great news! We can finally catch him!"

"That Lord Moros, the Lord of the Underworld, is really hard to track!"

Steven Everett also smirked, thanks to the information Damian Quinn provided earlier. This brother-in-law didn’t seem so unpleasant anymore.

If they could capture that Lord of the Underworld this time, he must be properly thanked!

Soon, Steven Everett collected his thoughts and spoke seriously, "Time is of the essence. Let’s move, now!"

Serena Everett lounged lazily on the sofa, her long and straight legs casually crossed, radiating the aura of a boss. Yet, she was ruining the image with a lollipop in her mouth.

"Boss, they’ve taken the bait and are heading to our trap."

Serena nodded nonchalantly, her eyes gleaming with coldness.

"Have you prepared everything I asked?"

Jude Ford immediately nodded vigorously, "Boss, everything’s been arranged as you instructed! The Enchanting Fragrance has already filled the entire room."

Serena nodded in satisfaction. It was a perfect chance to test her newly developed Enchanting Fragrance. Unlike others, hers was odorless and once released, completely undetectable.

But its effect was a hundred times stronger than ordinary ones. Within three seconds of inhaling, one would collapse and be unable to muster any strength afterward.

She lost quite a few bases which incurred significant losses. This time, they’d leave empty-handed!

Steven Everett and his team, all suited in combat gear, were cautious and on high alert, aware that the enemy inside was formidable; a minor mistake could lead to total failure.

Steven Everett watched the distant building with hawk-like eyes and spoke in a low voice, "According to the intelligence, Lord Moros is in there doing business. I’m going to disguise myself and sneak in. Wait for my signal."

"This mission must succeed!"

If they missed this chance, capturing him next time would be even harder!

The team’s expressions turned solemn as they promptly responded in unison, "Yes, captain!"

Steven Everett put on flashy clothes, a wig, and wedged a cigarette behind his ear, successfully disguising himself. Someone unaware would truly mistake him for a street punk.

"Hey, who are you? Who allowed you to get close?"

Ivan Everett was driven off by the guard as he approached the building.

"Get lost, get lost, you don’t belong here!"

Despite being turned away, Steven Everett wasn’t annoyed. Instead, he responded with a mischievous grin.

"Buddy, my boss is inside. My boss asked me to deliver something. Could you make an exception?"

"And who are you to deserve our concession?" The guard pushed him away impatiently. "Get out, get out, without Lord Moros’ command, no one’s allowed in!"

"Come on, buddy, we’re all just subordinates working for our bosses, no need to make this difficult for me. Just make an exception for me!"

Steven Everett insisted with a cheeky smile, slipping a wad of cash from his pocket into the guard’s hand.

"All I need to do is deliver wine inside. I’ll come right out after, won’t cause any trouble!"

The guard’s demeanor changed instantly after taking the stack of cash. Newest update provıded by NoveI★Fire.net

"Go on, go on, but make sure you leave as soon as you deliver the wine!"

"Of course, of course!"

Steven Everett mocked him with a smirk, stuffing another wad of cash into the guard’s pocket before getting inside.

Once inside, Steven Everett keenly sensed something amiss. His wariness deepened, but leaving now would surely arouse suspicion and jeopardize the entire mission.

He steadied himself, moved forward without exposing any flaws, yet found the room empty.

Steven Everett’s pupils contracted, feeling the strength leaving his body, turning weak and unable to exert force. He tried biting his tongue to stay conscious, yet it was futile.

Such potent effects...

Steven Everett struggled to signal his team outside, but his body lost strength, collapsing on the floor...

"Trying to send a signal outside?"

A cold female voice echoed, carrying an aura of absolute dominance.

The voice was eerily familiar to Steven Everett, he wanted to lift his head to see her face, but his enfeebled body couldn’t even twitch a finger, let alone lift his head.

"Finally caught you all! So, was it you who destroyed several of our bases, causing us heavy losses?"

Thinking of the ruined bases made Jude Ford furious, kicking him, speaking harshly.

"Speak, which faction are you from!"

Steven Everett grunted in pain but remained silent.

"Well, quite the backbone!" Jude Ford kicked him again, angrily stating, "Not going to talk, huh? Take him away, torture him, let’s see if he’ll speak!"

The Hidden Guard obliged respectfully, lifting Steven Everett from the ground, revealing his face, and began to take him away.

Serena’s expression remained calm until she saw the man’s face. A rare shock appeared on her porcelain-white features.

"Master Damian, we just received news that Second Young Master has tracked Lord Moros and is on his way to capture him..."

Hearing Chase Sherman’s respectful report, Damian Quinn narrowed his deep, almond-shaped eyes, pondering briefly, before his expression shifted, speaking sharply.

Chase couldn’t help but question in confusion, "Turn around? But Master Damian, weren’t you heading to the Everett Family to see Miss Serena?"

Master Damian had postponed a company meeting to accompany Miss Serena, but now, why the sudden change of plan?

Damian Quinn’s dark, profound eyes were filled with coldness. "Find Steven Everett first."

That Lord Moros isn’t so simple; there’s no way Steven Everett tracked him down so quickly. There must be a trap!

"Yes, Master Damian!"
