Chapter 1326


    He sat on his bed in a daze, absolutely clueless.


    His father had sent him away two years ago to expand their business, and he has not been in touch


    with anyone here. "I''ve juste back, and already someone is trying to kill me?


    "Can it be Elliot?" thought Christopher.


    Elliot did not have any actual power yet. Gary was keeping a constant eye on his performance, and he


    would not give Elliot even a single shred of power if he mismanaged something. So, Elliot dared not


    make a move against Christopher just yet.


    "But, who else could it be?" thought Christopher.


    The negotiation between the Goulds and Gary''s brothers was around the corner so those two would


    not do anything at this time either.


    Christopher tapped his head, troubled. He nced back at his phone and tried to shut the ''death timer''


    off, only to realize that the screen was locked. No matter how much he tapped on it, it did not change.


    He could not shut the timer off, or return to the main menu, or use his phone for anything.


    Christopher was stunned.


    "Is my phone infected by a virus? Is the timer a prank from some unknown hackers, or did I


    identally click onto a malicious website, causing a virus to enter my phone?" he thought, puzzled.


    He decided to have a technician run some tests.


    In the hotel, the bodyguard had promised Avery that they would search for Hayden in areas nearby, so


    when he woke up, he went to Avery''s door and pressed on the doorbell first thing in the morning.


    The doorbell rang, but there was no response.


    He took out his phone to call Avery, but she did not pick up.


    "Maybe she is still sleeping?" he thought.


    He waited for some time and decided to go for breakfast first.


    When he arrived in the dining hall, his phone rang.

    He had thought that it was from Avery, but to his surprise, it was from Elliot.


    Elliot had called the bodyguard because he had tried calling Avery but she had not answered his call.


    "I pressed the doorbell, but there is no response," said the bodyguard. "Should I check on her after


    breakfast? I think she is still asleep since she came back at two in the morning."


    "Then leave her be," Elliot said.


    "You know where to look for him?"


    If something happened to Hayden, he could only go on a suicide mission to defeat Gary, but even then,


    he could not guarantee Hayden''s safety.


    He had to stop the tragedy from happening before things got out of hand.


    He had thought that Avery was already trouble enough, but Hayden was worse than her.


    At noon, a technician checked Christopher''s phone and was helpless in removing the virus in it.
