Their eyes widened at the realization of what was being told.
'Our assets and everything would be his!
How could it happen!
That means we are beggars now!
Further chaos arised among the people and they gaped in horror. It was all done within seconds and they couldn't bat an eyelid. They looked at each other with a murderous glint in their eyes and then looked at Caleb.
"Don't even think of it. Your family would further be on my radar. Back off", saying this he stood up and was about to leave the room when a person rushed at him with a knife. Caleb dodged in time and stabbed the man instead. He gestured at Magnus and left the room unaware that he had got a cut on his arm and blood was seeping out. He headed down and leaned at the elevator. He was on the main floor now and approached the receptionist who gave him her best professional smile and headed over to execute what Magnus had told her.
Zsadin and Ryan were led towards a huge hall which was already set up with for the fansign. They started inspecting the place. Zsadin searched for hidden cameras or weapons like knife or guns below the tables and chairs while Ryan inspected the wals to search for any holes or defect. The attendant left after showing the way while they were busy installing their button-sized cameras in appropriate places. They discussed about attacks that had happened earlier how they were evaded. Finally, they decided on the positions of the underlinks and stepped out.
"You go ahead and speak about the security with the guards, I want to use the restroom", Zsadin headed in a direction while Ryan turned towards the reception.
As soon as she was about to step inside, her arm was yanked back and she was dragged into a dark room. She attempted to pull her hand back and glanced at the intruder. But instead of seeing any face, all she could see was darkness. All of a sudden, she was pulled into a hard chest and the person hugged her so firmly as if he would never let her go. Startled, she attempted to take out her gun but was kept in place with one hand snaking its way onto the small of her back. She calmed herself down and inhaled deeply.
Damn, this fragrance! She had sensed it somewhere! But where? But the most important question was.... on whom? She jerked her head upwards and her breath stopped.
He was the same man! The one from Serin!
