Cesare now understood why Zahir had said it would only take ten minutes to find this place.
Still, he had expected them to land and enter through the front door like normal people.
That expectation shattered—along with the window.
The glass cracked without warning, sending shards flying into the room.
Beatrice covered her ears and trembled.
Hearing her scream in fear, Cesare instinctively turned toward the window.
A moment later, several figures in black tactical gear burst through the shattered glass, weapons drawn. Cesare’s eyes widened in disbelief.
‘Is this really okay against civilians?’
Even as the thought crossed his mind, the intruders shouted with enthusiasm:
“Team A, we’ve found the prince! Securing the kidnapper!”
Watching the chaos unfold, Cesare realized this situation wouldn’t end quietly.
He had underestimated just how far Zahir al-Tamid would go when it came to matters concerning him.
‘Damn it, Zahir...’
