The Wolf of Los Angeles

[Chapter 284: The Real Vampires]

In a pitch-black basement, the lights suddenly flicked on.

Melissa, lying in an iron cage, instinctively raised her hand to shield her eyes.

After a while, she adjusted to the brightness and slowly lowered her hand, noticing two burly Mexican women guarding her.

Only when they moved aside did Melissa see two individuals in hoods positioned behind them.

Recalling her last encounter, which she suspected involved Sean's people, she sat up and combed her long hair, saying, "Have you made up your minds?"

Hawke said, "We don't know where the benefits you are talking about are, but the benefits given to us by others are right here."

Melissa extended her hand, trying to take control. "Give me a phone. With a call, you'll each receive five million dollars in your accounts."

She emphasized, "You can keep an eye on me. If I say anything inappropriate, you're free to kill me."
