Before he could reach a decision, Fernando hoisted him up and aimed a gun at his temple.
His trembling intensified, but somewhere deep inside, he still believed Matthew was merely intimidating him.
“You wouldn’t dare. You can’t kill me.”
“Then Let’s put it to the test,” Matthew retorted icily, signaling Fernando with a slight upward tilt of his chin.
Fernando cocked the gun and pressed it back against Alex’s forehead.
Terrified, Alex broke down in tears.

“Alright, alright! I’ll talk!”
Taking a shaky breath, he spilled everything he knew about the Fairwa project, under Matthew’s unyielding glare.
“The Fairwa project isn’t popular among the local power players in Fairwa. That’s why it’s facing so much resistance. Stevie has already infiltrated the construction team. You’d be wise not to cross Stevie.
Otherwise, you can forget about continuing with the Fairwa project,”
Alex reminded him.
Matthew remained unimpressed by the thinly veiled warning.
Without a moment’s hesitation, he drew his own gun, chambered a round, and shot Alex in the thigh.
As the bullet tore through flesh, Alex’s face broke out in a cold sweat. His body crumpled to the floor involuntarily.
Alex fell to his knees with a thud.

Matthew holstered his gun and sneered, “Deliver a message to Stevie.
If he interferes with the Fairwa project again, he’ll have only himself to blame for the consequences.”
When Matthew exited the warehouse, his expression was dark.
Alex’s cautionary words had merit.
He wouldn’t always be in Fairwa to keep an eye on Stevie’s activities against the project.
Nonetheless, this was a wake-up call. He needed to strengthen the monitoring of the Fairwa project.
As they walked, Matthew instructed Fernando, “I’ll head back to the hotel first. Take care of tying up loose ends here. We’ll rendezvous at the hotel entrance before heading back to Seamarsh.”
“Understood.”
After a grueling two-hour drive, Stella reached Fairwa Hotel at the stroke of ten in the evening.
