Chapter 531:
Gerard, who had his ear pressed against it, stumbled forward and nearly fell flat on his face.
Just as he opened his mouth to speak, Gerard caught sight of the empty room. No one was inside. Before he
could voice his confusion, he saw Kristian’s face darken, his expression colder than before.
Without a word, Kristian spun on his heel and stalked off, tossing a single command over his shoulder. “Call

Still not reassured, Gerard texted again, “Just pick up the phone.”
Melvin’s reply cquickly, “I'll call you later.”
