Noah was confused by Edgar's unexpected dinner invite. It was unusual. Something about it seemed strange. Still, he didn't press for answers.
Without delay, he set out early for Golden Phoenix Tower, planning to handle some tasks at the office beforehand.
During the ride, Jason gripped the wheel tightly and glanced at Noah sitting next to him, "Why do you think Edgar suddenly called you?"
Noah gave a slow shrug, eyes distant. "No idea. He only invited me for dinner..."
"But this is only three?" Jason asked, glancing at the digital clock on the dashboard.
"Well, I kinda miss my apartment..."
Jason chuckled and refocused on the street ahead.
But just as they were approaching the tower, two black sedans swerved in and blocked their way, tires screeching loudly against the street.
Jason slammed the brakes, his heart skipping a beat as he caught sight of the men stepping out of the vehicles, cold-eyed, dressed in dark suits.
