Chapter 140 – Fourth Sister Was Coming Back
The night was as dark as ink.
Outside a luxurious private villa, a shadowy figure scaled the wall like a ghost and leapt silently onto the second-floor balcony.
John sighed to himself.
"As the King of Horizon, I never thought I'd one day be sneaking around like this. If word got out, I'd be laughed into oblivion."
When he was certain the villa was empty, he slipped into the bedroom and found the safe he was looking for.
Click.
He pried it open, retrieved the documents, and disappeared into the night.
The next morning brought a bombshell.
Carlos was abruptly taken away by the authorities for investigation. Someone had handed over his black account book—a detailed record of years' worth of illicit financial dealings, including transactions involving several senior officials.
Carlos was stunned. But deep down, he understood exactly what had happened.
He should never have stayed at his secretary's place last night. That's where the safe had been. And now it was empty.
