Chapter 926
Thaddeus couldn't bear the thought of letting Elvis face danger alone. In no time, he was geared up and had
reached out to Aaron and Gordon, ready to make a dash for The Velvet Haven. They had to back up Elvis and
rescue Elsie! That girl was their undercover ally, and also the future sister-in-law to him and Evadne. It was both
a matter of principle and emotion. He had to do everything in his power to save her; standing by was not an
option!
Before leaving, Thaddeus's heart lingered on his darling. He tiptoed back to the bedroom, knelt by the bed, and
tenderly ran his fingers through her soft hair, planting kisses on her forehead, the tip of her nose, and her lips...
"Mmm...Thaddeus...don't go..." Evadne's feathery lashes trembled, her lips slightly parted, mumbling in a
dreamy haze.
Thaddeus's breath grew deeper, more heated. His warm palm gently caressed his lover's cheek, his heart
pounding wildly, his chest rising and falling. He couldn't bear to look any longer. Another glance, and leaving

"Darling, sleep well. When you open your eyes tomorrow morning, I'll be the first thing you see."
Armed with the evidence provided by Elvis, Aaron secured an arrest warrant from the higher-ups and led his
team straight to The Velvet Haven! The crescent moon hung low, the night air crisp and clean. The Velvet Haven
was eerily quiet, a stark contrast to its usual bustling self!
Thaddeus and Elvis were the first to arrive, bracing for a tough battle to breach Avery's stronghold. But to their
surprise, the den of iniquity was shrouded in darkness, not just closed for the night, but devoid of any bouncers
at the door!
Elvis set the lock pick against the door, and after a brief operation, the hefty steel door swung open with a thud.
Inside, the darkness was oppressive, like the path to the underworld. Elvis gritted his teeth, about to take a step
forward when Thaddeus stepped ahead of him. Looking at Thaddeus's towering, mountain-like figure, Elvis felt a
warmth in his eyes. Thaddeus, with his wholehearted devotion, protected Evadne and her family. In this moment,
he didn't hesitate to walk ahead of Elvis, ready to face any danger on his own. Just like that ton Star Island,
and now again!
Elvis clenched his gun tightly, moving slowly alongside Thaddeus deeper into the darkness. The further they
went, the more something felt off.
"What's going on? Even if it's closed today, it shouldn't be completely deserted, right?"
A sense of alarm rose in Elvis's heart, his gaze sweeping the surroundings coldly, "Could it be that we've tipped
off Avery? Have they already evacuated?!"
Suddenly, a rustling noise pierced the silence.
"Who's there? Show yourself!"
Elvis's eyes sharpened instantly, his hands steadying the gun towards the source of the noise.
"Elvis, hold your fire." Thaddeus quickly reached out to steady Elvis's wrist, calming him down, "It's two women,
looks like they're hostesses."
Elvis, surprised, slowly lowered his hand.
"Please, don't kill us..."
From the darkness, two pretty young girls emerged, shivering, each dragging a suitcase as if planning a quick
getaway.
"We're just hostesses at The Velvet Haven. We don't know anything... Please don't kill us!" Despite the good
looks of the men before them, they were still visibly terrified, on the brink of tears.
Thaddeus asked sternly, "Why is The Velvet Haven closed? Why are only you two here? Where is everyone else?"
"We don't know, we're just llana's public relations; how could we be in the know about such core matters?" One
of the girls, a bit braver, shielded her friend behind her.
