NovelOnlineHe sat on his bed in a daze, absolutely clueless.
His father had sent him away two years ago to expand their business, and he has not been in touch with anyone here. "I've just come back, and already someone is trying to kill me? "Can it be Elliot?" thought Christopher.
Elliot did not have any actual power yet. Gary was keeping a constant eye on his performance, and he would not give Elliot even a single shred of power if he mismanaged something. So, Elliot dared not make a move against Christopher just yet.
"But, who else could it be?" thought Christopher.
The negotiation between the Goulds and Gary's brothers was around the corner so those two would not do anything at this time either.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChristopher tapped his head, troubled. He glanced back at his phone and tried to shut the 'death timer" off, only to realize that the screen was locked. No matter how much he tapped on it, it did not change.
He could not shut the timer off, or return to the main menu, or use his phone for anything.
Christopher was stunned.
"Is my phone infected by a virus? Is the timer a prank from some unknown hackers, or did | accidentally click onto a malicious website, causing a virus to enter my phone?" he thought, puzzled.
He decided to have a technician run some tests.
In the hotel, the bodyguard had promised Avery that they would search for Hayden in areas nearby, so when he woke up, he went to Avery's door and pressed on the doorbell first thing in the morning.
The doorbell rang, but there was no response.
He took out his phone to call Avery, but she did not pick up.
"Maybe she is still sleeping?" he thought.
He waited for some time and decided to go for breakfast first.
When he arrived in the dining hall, his phone rang.
He had thought that it was from Avery, but to his surprise, it was from Elliot.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElliot had called the bodyguard because he had tried calling Avery but she had not answered his call.
"I pressed the doorbell, but there is no response," said the bodyguard. "Should | check on her after breakfast? | think she is still asleep since she came back at two in the morning." "Then leave her be," Elliot said.
"Oh. We were supposed to be searching for Hayden around this area! There's no point in me going alone. He would not listen to me even if | manage to find him. | guess I'll just have to wait until she wakes up," he said with resignation.
"You know where to look for him?" "lI am guessing that he is near our hotel. When he came to the hotel last night, he did not have his backpack with him." "I will go look for him with you." Elliot had another nightmare the night before, :c'>VMY:, in his dream, Christopher had murdered Hayden.
He had to find Hayden and stop him from engaging Christopher. Ylore was the Goulds ' territory, and no matter how much Gary liked Elliot, Christopher was still more important to him than Elliot ever would be. After all, Christopher was Gary's son by blood.
If something happened to Hayden, he could only go on a suicide mission to defeat Gary, but even then, he could not guarantee Hayden's safety.
He had to stop the tragedy from happening before things got out of hand.
He had thought that Avery was already trouble enough, but Hayden was worse than her.
At noon, a technician checked Christopher's phone and was helpless in removing the virus in it.
