Chapter 545

Chapter 545:

With Ashton’s seriousness, he believed there must be a reason behind all this. Ashton must have sensed something significant. So, Rayden ignored his ties with the Cruz family. He turned to Luther, who was incessantly chattering beside him, and scolded coldly, “Shut your mouth! This isn’t your place to speak.”

After saying this, Rayden ignored Luther and turned his attention back to Ashton. He asked respectfully, “Mr. Baldwin, have you discovered something?”

Ashton didn’t answer. Instead, his gaze swept around the guests at the banquet hall and finally fell on Egan’s group. His eyes narrowed slightly.

The clues provided by the Marquez brothers had unveiled a chilling truth to Ashton. Fraser was orchestrating a major terrorist attack that would shake not only Staville but the whole country.

The most significant event in Staville recently had been Rayden’s birthday party, where Staville’s elite had gathered.

Everyone at this party was a bigwig or dignitary from all walks of life in Staville. If an attack occurred here and now, Fraser would undoubtedly achieve his goal.

Ashton’s instincts told him that the party was not just a gathering of the city’s elite but a prime target for Fraser’s twisted plans.

So, Ashton had discreetly assembled an elite special forces team and positioned them near the hotel, ready to launch an operation.

However, since Ashton didn’t know to what extent Staville’s officialdom had been infiltrated by the Dark Night Organization, he deliberately didn’t inform anyone, including Rayden, about the operation. He feared his plan would be leaked.

And now was still not the time for Ashton to explain to Rayden, especially with Egan and his group looking in their direction.

Egan was a core member of the Dark Night Organization. It was not an exaggeration to say that he had formidable psychological resilience.

When his and Ashton’s eyes met, his brows furrowed for a brief moment. Then, just as quickly, his expression returned to normal.

At this moment, Ashton leaned a little closer to Rayden and whispered, ensuring only he could hear, “Tell everyone present to stay away from the cake and the knives. I’ll find a private room, and we can discuss this in detail.”

Then, he turned around and left.

Rayden immediately realized the gravity of the situation. He quickly followed Ashton’s instructions and joined him in a separate private room in the hotel.

By the time Rayden entered the private room, Ashton had already checked every corner, ensuring it was free from any listening devices.

When he saw Rayden hurriedly come in, Ashton got straight to the point, not wanting to waste any time. “Rayden, I’m sorry for interrupting your birthday party, but I’m sure someone has poisoned the cake or the knives.”

“What? Poisoned? Are you sure?” Rayden’s eyes widened in shock, and his expression instantly changed.

Ashton nodded solemnly and relayed what the Marquez brothers had confessed to him.

Rayden’s expression grew more serious as he tried to process the enormity of the situation. He hadn’t expected that the Dark Night Organization had planned a terrorist attack at his birthday party.
