Chapter 284 A Moment Of Panic
Ivan staggered backwards. His expression twisted in fear, blood flowing from his arm, and the atmosphere heavy with the smell of blood.
Eric casually threw the towel, a trace of disdain fleeting across his gaze, and departed from the Twilight Bar.
Outside the bar, a row of individuals knelt, quivering with apprehension. Upon Eric’s appearance, they immediately shouted loudly, “Boss!”
They were all natives of Bastilla and members of the Saint Falcons in Melvern City. Now, they all looked at Eric with awe, their hearts filled with fear.
In their eyes, Eric is like a devil incarnate!
HeL
had quietly entered Melvern City and unleashed a fierce attack on their Saint Falcons without warning, presenting them only with the ultimatum to surrender or be eliminated.
They were just small subordinates in the Saint Falcons, collecting protection fees in Melvern City. How Could they possibly contend with Eric?
Therefore, they made the sole rational choice–to surrender to Eric.
Eric gave them a chilling stare and asked calmly. “When did Ivan acquire that wolf head tattoo?”
Behind him, Lucas stood, his demeanour frosty, clutching a box containing a gruesome piece of flesh, its bloodied contents leaving a haunting impact.
The sight of the flesh, unmistakably from Ives’s arm, caused the subordinates‘ eyes to widen in terror.
This piece of flesh clearly came from Ivan’s arm.
Eric directly cut off the tattooed skin and flesh from Ivan’s arm!
“I… I remember! It appeared around six months back one of the men stammered, raising a shaking hand.
“Normally, Boss… I mean, Ivan, always kept that tattop hidden. I only happened to discover it by chance.”
Eric fixed his intense stare on him, asking, “Are you sure?”
The man nodded enthusiastically, affirming. “Without a doubt!”
“It indeed appeared half a year prior. Ivan embarked on a journey abroad, and upon his homecoming, he displayed this tattoo on his forearm.”
Another man trembled nervously and chimed in agreement.

Eric’s gaze shifted again. “Which country did he travel to?”
“Maridonia. Ivan went there and met a woman.”
“Who is this woman?” Eric asked again.
“We’re not certain. All we know is that Ives visited a woman in Maridonia, and when he returned, he had acquired an extra wolf head tattoo.”
From the men’s testimonies, Eric gathered trivial details. His eyes flashing with icy detachment.
Seeing his displeased expression, the men trembled in fear. Unable to meet his gaze, their heads lowered.
They dared not meet his gaze. It sent shivers down their spines!
“Bzzz
Eric’s phone suddenly vibrated.
As he looked at his phone, his demeanour immediately softened, but was that a trace of … panic?
Lucas’s demeanour changed as well. “Is it Madam?”
Eric nodded sharply before hurrying back into the bar.
The bar was in complete chaos. He glanced around and then turned, heading straight into the
restroom.
Outside the bar, the subordinates looked at each other in confusion, unsure of what to do next.
What did they just witness? That man with the terrifying gaze, whose expression changed drastically after a phone call, even seeming a bit flustered?
And then another person muttered, “Madam.”
Who was this person, able to evoke such fear in someone as formidable as Eric? NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Meanwhile, in the restroom
Eric quickly adjusted his clothes before answering the phone.
“Ric, why did you take so long to pick up?”
Kate’s soothing voice drifted over the phone line.
Eric’s demeanour softened, and he admitted with a hint of bashfully. “I was simply using the restroom.”
Still a bit drowsy, Kate pouted and voiced her complaint, “You said you’d call me right–after the meeting. I woke up, and you still hadn’t called.”
