Chapter 696
Thomas's heart felt like he'd bitten into an unripe plum, the sourness almost bringing tears to his eyes. He opened the door, keeping his emotions in check, and said, "Get in the car." Haley got in the passenger seat, and they drove in silence to Hinterlands.
Hinterlands was a small, rough city with crime lurking beneath the surface. People from all over had vanished or met their end here. Guards patrolled constantly, and security was tight. Everyone passing by looked scared and uneasy. After a search, Haley and Thomas entered Hinterlands smoothly.
They walked down the main road and soon reached the organization's core area. There was a four-story villa surrounded by rows of bungalows, with an iron fence at the entrance and military vehicles parked around. As soon as Haley and Thomas showed up, two guards stopped them.
Haley flashed a beautiful smile and said, "Hi, I'm here to see Mr. Windsor. He saved me yesterday, and I want to thank him in person." Maybe it had been a while since the guards had seen someone as beautiful as Haley, so their expressions softened a bit.
One of the guards held out his hand and asked, "Got an invitation?"
Haley's smile wavered. An invitation for a meeting? She'd never heard of that.
"If you don't have one, we can't let you in," the guard said. "If you have the leader's number, you can call him. Once you get permission, we can let you in."
Haley pressed her lips together. She'd been hacking all night but still couldn't find Leonardo's number. He was so mysterious that finding any private info on him was nearly impossible.
Haley smiled sadly and pulled a box from her handbag. "This is a gift for Mr. Windsor, a specialty from my country. Please tell him it’s from a woman named Haley."
The guard had been on duty for over two weeks and had seen many people come to deliver gifts. This was the first time he'd seen someone bring a specialty item. The new leader was from her country, so maybe Leonardo would actually like it.
Just as the guard took the gift, a car suddenly stopped at the entrance. This area was the mafia's core, and only high-ranking leaders and trusted individuals could drive here.
Haley turned around and saw a woman step out of the back seat. She had a strong presence, with ash-blonde curls, emerald green eyes, and striking red lips.
"Miss Spencer," the guards at the entrance greeted her in unison.
Isabel Spencer waved her gloved hand lightly and walked towards the villa in high heels.
Isabel took a step, paused, and turned her head, her eyes locking onto Haley's face. There was always a bit of tension when a beautiful woman meets someone even more stunning, and Isabel was no different. She eyed Haley sharply and asked the guard next to her, "Who is she?"
