Chapter 44 The Prey Appears

After the bald man left, he headed straight back to the bar and, through a secret passageway, arrived in front of a private room on the third floor.

He knocked on the door, and a deep voice from inside said, "Come in!"

Pushing the door open, he craned his neck to peek inside. The lighting in the room was dim, revealing a shadowy figure seated on the sofa.

A candle lit on the table beside cast a pale light on half of the shadowy figure's face.

The atmosphere in the room was eerie and sinister.

The bald man thought it odd; the lights could have been turned on, yet this person had chosen to light a candle.

At the moment the door swung open, the shadowy figure on the sofa opened his eyes and looked over.

The bald man shrank his neck slightly and walked in respectfully.

"How's the investigation going?"

The shadow spoke again, his tone emotionless.
