Their eyes met. Matteo immediately understood Mitchels intention.
Mitchel didnt want anyone else to get involved, preferring to face the situation alone. Moreover, he had secretly moved all the guests from the wedding venue to this building, hinting at the severity of the storm brewing inside.

Matteos brows furrowed tightly. This isnt good. Mr. Dixon wanted
Grasping the severity of the situation, Matteo and W hastily sprinted toward the wedding venue across the street.
Upon arrival, they found that the entrance was tightly sealed, with a line of armed security personnel blocking their way.

One of the security personnel roared, You cant enter this building!
W, of mixed heritage and known for his fiery temper, moved to shove one of the black-clad security personnel, intent on breaking through.
But Matteo grabbed him, holding him back. Dont be reckless, he warned. It was crucial for him to ensure W avoided making trouble in Ambrosia.
Hello, gentlemen. Matteo turned to the security personnel, handing over his business card to inform them of his identity. Our CEO is inside. Can you tell us what is happening?
Im sorry. This is official business. I cant disclose any information. Please leave immediately.
Seeing this, Matteo pulled the unconvinced W away.
They didnt go far, however, standing just a short distance from the building.
Worried, W asked, Matteo, whats going on? Why is everyone being evacuated?
Matteo observed the orderly evacuation conducted by the security team and felt increasingly uneasy. He called the intelligence center.
Check what is happening at the International Banquet Center.
Matteo didnt hang up, waiting for a response.
Five minutes later, the intelligence center reported, We heard there are explosives planted at the International Banquet Center. Everyone has to be evacuated.
Matteo raised his eyebrows. Who planted those explosives?
It seems to be related to Lorenzo.
At the mention of Lorenzo, Matteo quickly reviewed Mitchels recent itinerary in his mind. A vivid image of a rainy night, with Mitchel bleeding from an arm wound, flashed through his thoughts.
An idea suddenly occurred to Matteo, and he said sharply, Check what happened on Aurora twenty days ago.
The sound of keystrokes buzzed once again.
After about ten minutes, the tapping stopped.
The intelligence center replied, Twenty days ago, the youngest son of the Maxwell familys leader, Lorenzo, lost his favorite wife, the cause of her death a mystery. It was quite sensational. She was his most favored among twenty-four wives. After her death, which seemed to be a murder and not an accident, Lorenzo locked up the door and killed the maids, drivers, and bodyguards who served that wife. Nearly thirty people were sent to accompany her in death. Lorenzo offered a reward of one billion dollars to anyone who could provide accurate clues to the death of his beloved wife.
Matteo fell into deep thought. He didnt know much about Lorenzos favorite wife. But he knew about Lorenzo.
Lorenzo was the top fugitive wanted by the authorities in Ambrosia, having committed hundreds of major crimes here. His ability to appear and disappear seemingly at will, coupled with Auroras status as a lawless place, had thwarted many investigations.
But the special forces of Ambrosia had never ceased tracking Lorenzo down.
Any reliable information on Lorenzos whereabouts in Ambrosia meant he wouldnt escape the special forces or the severe punishment that awaited him.
Lorenzo was no fool. Knowing the priority the authorities of Ambrosia placed on capturing him, he wouldnt risk casually strolling around but instead sought thrills in countries with more lenient laws.
Matteos previous knowledge of Lorenzo stemmed from the last incident involving a car loaded with explosives, where Mitchel drove into the sea and jumped out of it at the last second.
