241 The Threat Against Eugene

Neither persuasion nor bribe were effective, and there was no way to employ direct force. Carina looked at Zhang Heng who was next to her, wondering if he had any idea about what else they could do.

Zhang Heng sat very still, not saying a word, sitting as silently as a rock on the couch.

After a while, another carriage arrived at the door.

Drew looked puzzled. "Mister Buffon has arrived earlier than usual this time."

However, when the vehicle stopped, it was a pale-faced young man who alighted. Blinded by the sunlight, he reached out a hand to shield his face. 

Drew's expression changed abruptly upon seeing the man and he rushed to close the door to the house. But the young man quickly recovered and when he saw Drew and Carmen, he quickly moved towards the door. But his body moved as if it was hollow, his footsteps faint—he had only taken two steps forwards and already he was gasping for air.
