Chapter 331

“Come here, little one…”

Fabian’s emotionless voice echoed.

This little fox had indeed piqued his interest.

Perhaps keeping a pet was not such a bad idea.

The little fox cheerfully glanced at Fabian. It wriggled out of Melody’s embrace to climb onto Fabian’s lap.

Only then did Fabian open his eyes. He looked down at the little creature.

The little fox, in turn, raised its fluffy head. Its sapphire-like eyes reflected Fabian’s stern face.

“Tsk, tsk… I’ve heard that Mr. Hughes despises furry animals,” Melody remarked sarcastically, crossing her arms.

“Melody Stone, are you trying to test my patience?”

As Fabian’s hand gently stroked the fox’s fluffy head, his deep eyes locked onto Melody. His chilling voice carried an underlying coldness.

Melody swallowed nervously. “J-Just pretend I didn’t say anything…”

Fabian’s aura was too overwhelming, so much so that even a senior shareholder from Universal Group felt intimidated.

Even though she could easily slap him down, she just could not seem to meet his gaze.

Finn clicked his tongue and simply closed his eyes, pretending to sleep.

Half an hour later, the helicopter landed on the rooftop of Chateau Hotel.

At the same time, Xeno’s car drove into Chateau Estate.

In the chairman’s office of Universal Group’s headquarters, an elderly man dialed Fabian’s number.

Soon, Fabian’s voice was heard on the other end.

“Sir…”

“Fabian… I’m glad you’re safe… They said your plane crashed!”

“Thank you for your concern, sir!”

“Wrap things up and return soon. The headquarters can’t function without you!”

“I understand!”

Fabian promptly hung up.

In the entire Universal Tower, only he dared to hang up on the chairman.

As soon as the call ended, he picked up his phone again. “Have you arrived?”

“I’m at Jonford People’s Hospital now. Do you want me to request additional personnel for your protection?”

“No need… I…..”

Before Fabian could finish, he was pushed away by a force of gravity.

A deafening gunshot rang out.

A bullet whizzed between Nash and Fabian.

The next moment, Nash turned into a blur as he jumped off the building.

Hearing the gunshot, Olivia rushed out with a group of hotel security guards.

Nash landed on the ground.

That was when he noticed there were two yellow talismans on his calf.

The next moment, Nash vanished into thin air.

Olivia’s mouth hung open in shock.

Above, Melody and Finn took Fabian behind the helicopter for cover.

Still not feeling secure, Finn made Fabian move farther back, positioning himself in front of Fabian.

If even Mr. Nash was personally protecting this man, Finn would risk his life to keep him safe.

Melody, her body engulfed in a protective aura, was on high alert as she scanned the surroundings.

The little fox, sensing the imminent danger, dug its tiny claws into Fabian’s hair.

“Mr. Hughes… has your location been compromised?” Frankie asked cautiously.

Fabian remained silent.

This was the power of the Ten Families.

Despite his meticulous planning, they still managed to track him down.

“Mr. Hughes?”

“Wait for me at the hospital!”
