Chapter 168
A business tycoon standing near the elevator door guessed, "Perhaps it is safer to go upstairs. After all, Congressman Townsend is an important figure in Central Federation. He can easily arrange a helicopter for himself."
Is that so? Willow's eyes flickered slightly.
Meanwhile, at the venue's entrance, Moira walked out slowly with the other guests and was busy typing on her phone.
Behind the crowd, Charlie took his wife's arm and whispered, "Remember, we didn't do anything tonight!"
Yuna gave him a sideway glance and said, "You should see what a loser you are!"
After pausing for a moment, her eyes filled with resentment as she said, "I'm so unlucky tonight! Those damn robbers! Why can't they just drop dead?"
Charles recalled how the robber had robbed their one hundred million and added sadly, "We suffered a severe loss tonight!"
Nearby, Alvina comforted her husband, Simon, "All that matters is that we are not hurt. We can earn back the money we have lost."
"What else can we do?" Simon sighed gloomily. "It's not like we can go after those ruthless robbers and make them return our money!"
Then, he glanced toward the auctioneer's corpse left forgotten behind the auction stand and shook his head slowly. "It is still better than losing our lives."
In the control room, Trey pierced through two armed robbers with a strike.
As the smell of blood filled the air, he followed the traces left behind by the third robber and chased him.
"Trey!" A familiar voice sounded nearby, prompting Trey to turn around indifferently. "You're here."
Ocho appeared at the control room door in a flash and said, "Sixtine and the others will be here shortly."
Trey narrowed his eyes and said, "The safety of our boss and his family is of utmost importance. It doesn't matter how many robbers we kill here."
"Trey, don't worry." Ocho nodded. "Dreineun and his people are not coming."
After pondering for a while, Trey instructed sternly, "Tell Sixtine and his people to guard the hotel's perimeter. None of the enemies shall escape here tonight!"

Ocho bowed and beat his chest with his right hand. "Understood!"
Meanwhile, in one of the supreme suite's bedrooms on the top floor, Jacob heard his phone ringing and frowned before saying to his daughter gently, "Stay here and don't go anywhere. I will go answer the phone."
"Okay." Heidi sprawled on the large and soft bed, watching TV shows on the large TV screen.
Jacob left the bedroom and smelled traces of blood stench in the air. He went to the corner of the living room and took his phone from the couch.
An anxious voice sounded the moment Jacob answered the phone. "Thank goodness! You finally answered! How is Heidi? Where are you now? Do you know what happened during the auction?"
Jacob moved the phone slightly further from his ear until the person finished questioning. Then, he placed the phone by his ear again and said, "My daughter and I are fine. You should take care of yourself."
As he spoke, he suddenly heard footsteps in the corridor outside the suite. Thus, he hung up and went to open the door.
