Chapter 241: The Real Mastermind

[ York City: Secret Hideout... ]

Vladimir sat leisurely in his office. He was browsing his laptop when he heard the knocking sound outside his door.

"Come in," Vladimir said, shifting his gaze from his laptop to the door.

Hearing his go signal, Luna entered the room.

"Sir, I brought him. He is waiting outside the car."

Vladimir nodded. "Escort him to the secret room."

Luna immediately followed Vladimir’s command. She went outside to fetch the person she brought.

Upon reaching the car, Luna motioned for the man to step out of the car and follow her.

A crisp laughter echoed behind Luna. She frowned and turned to the man with a sharp gaze.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Well. I’m just happy. I didn’t expect that my Boss would ask someone to help me escape from the prison. It’s not part of the prior plan. I am supposed to stay there until the mastermind is caught. Tell me. What changed his mind?" The man asked Luna.

Luna narrowed her eyes as she scrutinized the man from top to bottom. This guy was the driver who hit Dominique.

"Stop asking questions. Just follow me," Luna coldly said.

"Alright! Will I see the Boss? I want to thank him for taking me out of the prison. Haha."

Luna just smirked at him meaningfully. ’Tsk. He is clueless.’

The man just continued following her while his eyes were scanning his surroundings. This was the first time he set foot in this place.

’So, this is my Boss’ secret hideout? What a great place?! He is indeed rich.’ He thought to himself as he admired the place.

After a few minutes, the two of them reached the secret room. It was located in the basement of the building.

"Sit down first. My Boss is on his way here to see you," Luna instructed him.

He just nodded, settling down on his chair. Luna immediately informed Vladimir.

"Miss, do you have snacks? I’m hungry!" The man demanded. "I did a great job so I deserve a reward. I hope our Boss will give me a bonus."

’Bonus your Ass!’ Luna rolled her eyes skyward before shaking her head helplessly.

It did not take long before the door of the secret room was pushed open and Vladimir showed up.

The man looked at him with confusion. "Who is he?" he questioned Luna.

Luna grinned broadly as she responded. "He is my Big Boss!"

The man was taken aback for a moment, his mouth hanging open.

’Boss? He is not my boss?! Where the hell am I? Who are these people?’ He was confused.

"Who are you?!" the man was about to stand up but Luna grabbed his shoulders, pressing his body back to his seat.

At that certain moment, the realization struck him. The Boss who helped him escape from the prison was not the one who hired him.

"What do you want from me?" He tried to struggle against Luna’s hold but she restrained him using handcuffs. His hands were now tied behind him.

His body began to sweat. Vladimir’s aura was so frightening and very intimidating. He didn’t know what they wanted from him. But he sensed danger from his sharp eyes alone.

Vladimir pulled out a chair before he sat down, facing the guy. A devilish smirk flashed across his face.

"I don’t care if you tried to kill Dominique Smith. Unfortunately, you failed. But the reason you are here is because you involved the wrong guy. How can you blame the crime on an innocent person?"

The guy frowned in confusion. ’So these people are connected to Enzo Williams. But I thought Enzo Williams didn’t have power and influence. Why is there a strong person backing him up?’

"I don’t know what you are talking about. Release me now!" he tried to feign ignorance as he looked away.

"Hmm. Still denying it. All I need to hear from you is the real mastermind. Who hired you? If you won’t cooperate then I have no choice... I will eliminate you with an ugly death!" Vladimir threatened him.

The guy immediately cowered in fear when he sensed Vladimir’s seriousness. He wasn’t joking at all.

"Give me the name. I’ll count one to three. If you don’t speak, then I will make sure you won’t be able to use your tongue forever." Vladimir didn’t waste his time as he pulled out his dagger. Then he captured the guy’s chin, gripping it tightly.

"Will you speak or not? This is your last warning. One... Two..."

"Fine! Fine! I’ll speak." He didn’t want to die. He agreed to be imprisoned for several years but not to die like this. How could he enjoy the money he got from this job if he would just die?

"So, who called the hit on Dominique Smith?" Vladimir asked him again.

"It’s Alfonso Williams! He was the one who hired me. He also told me to frame Enzo Williams for this crime since the two had conflicts in the past. Enzo Williams was the scapegoat!"

Vladimir and Luna exchanged glances with one another. Alfonso Williams was Enzo’s Uncle.

"Well. This greedy person keeps on betraying his nephew." Vladimir clenched his fists tightly.

Athena’s beautiful face suddenly flashed in his mind. "I feel sorry for Athena and Enzo. Maybe, it’s time for me to focus on dealing with those treacherous relatives.’

"Luna, get his confession. We need to clear Enzo’s name. We need him alive."

"Noted sir."

After saying that, Vladimir rose from his seat and turned around to leave. He had just come out of the secret room when he bumped into his father’s subordinates. They were holding three unconscious men.

"What are you doing here?" Vladimir asked Miguel’s right-hand man.

"Your father instructed me to bring these men here. They tried to torture Enzo Williams in the interrogation room, forcing a confession from him. Fortunately, the spy sent by your father rescued him on time.

"These police officers had been bribed and paid by someone to torture Enzo Williams. We are going to extract information from them so our Boss ordered me to coordinate with you regarding this matter."

A cold glint flashed through Vladimir’s eyes when he heard those words. He was mad because Athena’s brother was the target of these multiple schemes. He wouldn’t forgive those people who would try to hurt Athena and the people precious to her.

"Fine. Bring them to another room. I’ll talk to them myself. By the way, what kind of torture they planned to do against Enzo?" Vladimir asked him.

"Electro-torture."

Vladimir’s eyes narrowed in fury when he heard that. "Fine. Then let’s give them the same taste of their medicine."

"Copy. Young Master. We will leave them to you... if that is what you want."

"Yes. I’ll deal with them. Myself."
