Bryson responded with indifference, “The ship won’t be navigated to Muvrand and they lack the audacity to take any action on board.”
“Nonetheless, should they act under the ship, it could still inflict losses upon us. Even though the vessel won’t venture into international waters, it’ll no longer be within our sphere of influence. We ought to exercise vigilance.”
“I know.”
Hannah had a restless night, with sleep eluding her until dawn broke.
Upon awakening, she found an array of missed calls from Lydia.
“What’s the matter?” Hannah answered the phone, her voice thick with drowsiness.
“Hannah! Why are you answering so late? Is everything alright?”
Startled by her friend’s urgent tone, Hannah began to regain her composure.
“What happened? Is the world ending?”
“No, but the Haywood Racing Car Agency was engulfed in flames last night and the villa was nearly reduced to ashes!”
“What? Really?!”
Hannah bolted upright.
“Hold on!”
She hastily ended the call and dialed the number she had acquired from Janet the previous day.
After a brief pause, the call was picked up.
“Hello.”
Janet’s voice emanated from the other end of the line. With a sense of relief, Hannah inquired, “Janet, there was a fire at the Haywood Racing Car Agency Last night! Are you and Rocco unharmed?”
Janet had yet to utter a word when Rocco’s icy voice emanated from the other end of the phone.
“Is it her calling? Allow me to take it.”

“Very well.”
Bringing the phone closer to his ear, Rocco assured, “We are currently in the Intercontinental Villa District. No need for concern.”
“What transpired yesterday?! Was there any threat to your safety?
Tell me!” Hannah’s anxiety over this incident was palpable.
Merely hours had passed since she’d set foot on the racing car agency, and now it lay in ashes. It was difficult for Hannah not to suspect that certain individuals were behind this devastation!
