Chapter 146: Revelations
Room 712, 713...ah, there it is. Room 714.
I walked over to the door and tapped the keycard, unlocking it. The room was massive, featuring a living space as well as a full kitchen.
I took a step inside, noticing that Christian’s jacket was draped over one of the chairs.
He’s here already?
The room had a very faint smell of cigarettes, and as I walked towards the bedroom, the scent got even stronger.
He must be smoking on the balcony. Let’s see if I can surprise him.
Kicking off my heels, I crept into the massive bedroom, trying to stay as quiet as possible. As I approached the balcony, I could hear voices.
Oh? Is he on the phone?
Not wanting to disturb him, I continued to creep forward. From the blinds, I could see two figures, both male.
Christian was sitting on a chair outside, smoking, while another man was standing, facing him. Due to the way he was turned, I couldn’t see who it was, but I could hear his words.
"The court said that there wasn’t enough evidence to press charges... I still don’t understand why you’re doing this, Christian. You’re wasting your time bringing this guy to justice right now. If you wait until the Moresis are destroyed, he’d lose all of his backing, and you could send him to life in prison with the snap of your fingers!"
