Chapter 721: In that bottle of water you’re drinking, there is something
He looked at Marco and did not move for half a second.
Marco’s behaviour changed little: “I know where he is”.
Allyce thought for a moment, but followed him to his car.
Even if I knew who Severo had gone to yesterday and whose hands he was in, I wouldn’t necessarily be able to find him soon.
Once in the car, Marco asked, “Water?”
Allyce fastened her seatbelt and looked at him: “No, thank you”.
He did not seem to be in a good mood and Marco said nothing more as he drove on.
…
Due to the snowy roads, traffic was a bit slow.
After driving for more than two hours, the car stopped in front of an old mansion in the middle of nowhere.
Allyce looked out of the car window and could only see the high courtyard wall surrounded by a barren forest.
It snowed all night yesterday and it has just stopped and the ground is white.
Allyce’s heart squeezed slightly and she turned her head towards Marco: “Severo is here?
“Hmm.” Marco replied and added, “I had him followed when he came out yesterday.”
As if something suddenly occurred to him, he narrowed his eyes and asked Allyce: “Any idea who took him?
Allyce’s face paled slightly and then she let out a small sigh: “I have a guess in my mind as to who it is, but I don’t know if it’s right, whoever has it, it must be Grizzi’s people”.
“Have some water, we’ll be there later”. Marco handed him back the bottle of water from earlier.
Allyce took the water and said, “I’m going in alone, and you can come back in if anything happens.”
When he finished, he unscrewed the cap from the bottle, took a big gulp and opened the car door to get out.
If the people inside had been prepared, they would have held her if she had entered, and Marco was a strong fighter and could have helped her from behind.
Marco watched her walk through the door before pulling out his pager and giving orders to the men guarding the perimeter: “Stand by to proceed”.
The mansion was quiet.
The snow was thick in the yard and luckily Allyce was wearing boots when she went out, but it was a bit difficult to walk.
He crossed the courtyard and went to the front of the hall, whose door was half-buried.
He reached out, bit his lip and pushed the door as if with determination.
In the lobby, someone is having breakfast in an elegant pose.
The man looked up at her, then lowered his head again and ate the last piece of food on his plate, chewing and swallowing it thinly before saying, “So early in the morning.
Although she was prepared for it, Allyce was surprised to see Tajo’s familiar face.
He still looks like an old gentleman, with a different aristocratic air than usual.
However, Allyce still found it hard to believe that it was Niguel.
“The courage to come alone, you seem to be very attached to Severo. “He put down his knife and fork and picked up a towel to wipe his hands.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Allyce was about to speak when a man’s voice came out of nowhere.
“Who says she’s coming alone?”
Allyce turned her head and saw that Marco had followed her at some point.
He opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly realised he couldn’t make a sound.
She looked at Marco in confusion.
Marco approached with a stoic face and, seeing her confused face, did not mince his words: “In that bottle of water you are drinking, there is something”.
Allyce’s eyes snapped open and she said, speechlessly, “What are you going to do!
Marco, however, no longer spoke to him. He went straight to Tagus and sat down, calm and confident: “Niguel, I’ve heard a lot about you.
“Marco is joking, how can I be Niguel?”, came the juncture, but Tajo did not immediately admit that he was Niguel.
Marco’s tone was light, like a normal conversation, “What can you do if you won’t admit it when it comes down to it, you think Severo doesn’t know by now that you’re Niguel? There’s a saying in Z that the older you get, the more confused you become.”
Tajo’s face erupted in slanderous exasperation: “What nonsense!
He turned to Allyce: “This is how you, as Severo’s wife, join with outsiders to slander me! What kind of talk is this?”
Allyce would have liked to speak, but she couldn’t make a sound even if she had the words.
She didn’t understand why Marco had drugged her so that she couldn’t make a sound, but he must have had his plans.
He had not realised something until then.
Marco and Severo are both, neither is weaker than the other.
Marco could have sent someone to follow Severo like a pomade at any time, and Severo would have been alerted, but this time Severo disappeared and Marco soon found out.
He suspects that Severo is most likely already working with Marco.
This speculation may seem unfounded, but she was convinced.
“Gabrio, Adan, Izar, oh, and Adan’s sister, Delfina, and Amado who was killed earlier in the prison …”
Marco called out a long list of names: “I’m sure these people are not new to you.
At the mention of Gabrio, Allyce raised her head to look at him, and it was indeed Gabrio who was the target of her words yesterday.
“These people, I don’t know any of them, except for Izar. “Tajo’s eyes didn’t change for a second, it was only natural.
The room was silent for a moment.
“Is that so? Since you don’t know these people, I have good news for you”.
Marco didn’t seem the least bit anxious as he turned his head to look at Allyce, smiled kindly and said to Tajo, “I’m sure you know that Allyce and Severo are divorced, and that your loving grandson has given her all his assets, I used to worry that the family would be prejudiced against her because she was married. Now, there is no need to have that concern.
Allyce blushed, what nonsense Marco says!
He strides over and tugs at Marco’s shirt: “What nonsense! Ask him where Severo is, I want to see Severo!
Whether Tajo is Niguel or not, she wants to see Severo safe first.
He was talking with his back to Tajo and Marco, so he didn’t notice that Tajo’s face had turned ugly.
“Don’t be afraid, we’re just telling the truth, what’s wrong with people who love each other? Severo would have gladly given you all the goods under his hand.
Marco “reassured” her in a gentle tone.
Allyce’s face went cold and she tried to speak but could not make a sound.
Is Marco working with Severo or not, and what is the purpose of all the inexplicable things he is saying now?
However, Tajo burst out in anger at that moment: “You scoundrel!
Marco took Allyce’s wrist and motioned for her to stand behind him, giving her another reassuring look.
The way things were going, what else could she do but feel comfortable with Marco?
At least Marco is a little safer than Tajo.
When he turned to look at Tajo, he realised that Tajo’s face had become extremely frightening.
“Do you think you can still get out of here unscathed today?” Tajo’s face turned a little grim, as if he had suddenly exploded after a long period of restraint.
