Chapter 1017: Inauguration Day
Meanwhile...
"Damn..." Tiger breathed out, stopping several blocks from Dragon’s mansion. He lowered his head, staring at the thick smoke and fire ascending in the sky as police and firefighters locked the area for safety.
"She burned it down," Fig remarked, sitting in the backseat while staring at the mansion. "We’re late."
Tiger’s expression hardened, gripping the steering wheel tighter. "She woke up."
"Now, we’re back to square one." Fig sighed, snapping his eyes at the window when Moose stopped beside it with his motorbike. Rolling down the window, he asked, "What happened?"
"I asked around, but all I got is that it’s probably a gas leak." Moose pulled up his visor, staring at the people in the SUV. "But the men I planted here told me the fire started before midnight. That’s an hour ago."
"Do you think she’s still around the area?"
"I doubt," Tiger hissed, eyes glinting. "She probably left earlier than that."
Their expressions turned grim, thinking of where Hera could be. The problem was, they weren’t even sure if she truly woke up. They just assumed. They couldn’t completely disregard that this was Dragon’s doing as well.
As the silence reigned over them, Moose felt his phone to answer the call. He had ordered some of his men to call him if they found anything interesting. Hence, he didn’t hesitate to answer the call even before he saw who it was.
"It’s her," Moose remarked as he ended the call, turning his head to the people in the car. "I got a word from my source. Hera made contact with the Interpol. At the same time, Wolf was ambushed while they were transferring him to another station."
