Chapter 154


    The cafe’s gate was immediately unlocked when Nana reprimanded Corbin.


    She was approached by a group of imposing guys. Their punches were powerful enough to take out


    three of her in a single blow.


    Nana’s eyes became wide.


    What in the world did Corbin do? Where did hee across these people?


    Hodge seemed to be in trouble.


    “Are you Nana Marlin?” said the leading guy with sunsses.


    “Yeah…yes,” Nana answered haltingly in a choked voice.


    Afterward, the male leader removed his sunsses. He was clearly a mobster based on his square


    features and imposing physique.


    He extended his hand in greeting. “Mr. Jenkins instructed us toe here. What can I do to help you?”


    Nana promptly extended her hand to the guy and said, “Thank you, sir. Help us out today, please.”


    As soon as they exchanged pleasant greetings, the situation turned tense. Neither Nana nor the


    muscr guys moved as they stared into each other’s eyes.


    Everyone else would assume something was amiss if they continued to stand like this, not to mention


    Hodge.


    Nana wondered what she should do as she saw the enormous guys


    “Buddies, how about we hide for a bit and wait for the target to arrive before we show up again?” Nana


    proposed.


    “Okay.”


    After the answer, the guys remained silent again and followed Nana’s instructions to sit down in the


    box. They were quite obedient.


    “Let’s first take cover here. My partner willter speak with the target. We’ll stay in contact no matter


    what happens. We’ll go after him as soon as we see anything fishy. Please keep in mind that we must


    capture him alive.”


    Nana repeated her request. She was terrified that these big, bad guys would savagely murder Hodge.


    “Of course.”


    The leader nodded his head.


    Something went amiss again. Awkwardness returned to the situation at that point.


    Nana started to warm up to him after a while. “Our objective has not yet arrived. Would you want a cup


    of coffee, my friends?”


    Even though she knew she was seated among a bunch of strong guys who were rooting for her, Nana


    was still nervous.


    The males were really aloof and said nothing.

    In the end, Nana requested some coffee for her and them.


    Eliana sat uneasily on the chair outside, awaiting Hodge’s arrival.


    Suddenly she felt a pair of eyes staring at her.


    Someone was watching her.


    With a frown, Eliana surveyed her surroundings.


    There were few customers at the cafe at this time. They all sat together in small groupings.


    A guy with a jacket and a mask sat with a piece of newspaper before his face in the cafe corner.


    Maurice was the guy disguised as a spy.


    He was worried that Gerald would be brewing a plot and Eliana might be in danger if she came to see


    Hodge by herself, so he followed her.


    However, there was some kind of telepathic connection between him and thatdy. She’d been


    scanning his face from the start.


    Poor fool!


    Maurice instinctively lifted the newspaper to block her view when Eliana’s gaze returned.


    He had no idea that to others, he seemed to be… Much more bizarre.


    The two females seated across the cafe from him were chatting in hushed tones.


    “Weird, look at that guy in the corner. What’s up with his outfit? Do you think he’s a psychopath?”


    “What makes you think that’s possible? He’s a sight to see. He wears designer clothing. In spite of his


    face being hidden, his demeanor remains upbeat. I’m sure he’s a big name. He may be terrified of


    being identified by others.”


    “It’s not out of the question. It seems that he has a striking resemnce to Eli Goodwin, a recent


    inte sensation. No, I must request an autograph. What if he’s truly Eli Goodwin?”


    One of the females summoned the courage to approach Maurice directly.


    The girl approached Maurice, her huge eyes blinking as she inquired timidly, “Are you, Eli Goodwin, by


    any chance? Your most recent television y is excellent. I need your signature, please.”


    What was she referring to?


    This baffled Maurice.


    He lowered the newspaper a little, nced at the girl, and said, “You mistake me for someone else.”


    “I’m sorry. It turns out that I had the incorrect individual in mind. Sorry for the trouble.”


    The embarrassed girl rushed back to her seat, and Maurice hastily lifted the newspaper once again.


    Eliana, on the other hand, was well aware of what was going on.


    With each passing nce, he appeared to be more and more familiar.


    Eliana sprang to her feet and headed directly towards Maurice’s.


    Maurice was on the verge of being detected as the space between the two dwindled.


    “Eliana…”


    When Eliana heard that, she froze in her steps and instantly turned back.


    Her name was yelled out by a middle-aged guy at the cafe’s entryway.


    It was Hodge who appeared.
