CHAPTER 124 : YOU ARE DEAD.
"Long time no see, Laurent."
The world went silent.
Not physically. The highway still echoed with distant traffic. Engines still rumbled nearby. Rainwater still dripped slowly from the concrete divider after the earlier drizzle.
But inside Alexander Laurent's mind - Silence. Cold. Dangerous silence.
Eleanora slowly looked past Alexander's shoulder toward the man standing beneath the harsh white highway lights.
Broad shoulders. Black coat drenched slightly from the rain. A scar near his jawline. And eyes that looked at Alexander with something far worse than hatred. Disappointment.
The armed men around him stood respectfully behind him like trained predators waiting for orders.
But Alexander only stared at him. Like he had seen a ghost.
Tyler exited the car immediately, gun already raised. "Boss-"
"Lower it."
Tyler froze.
Because Alexander's voice sounded wrong. Not angry. Not cold. Just… heavy.
