Chapter: 2287
Five minutes later, the intelligence center reported, "We heard there are explosives planted at the International Banquet Center. Everyone has to be evacuated.”
Matteo raised his eyebrows. “Who planted those explosives?"
“It seems to be related to Lorenzo."
At the mention of Lorenzo, Matteo quickly reviewed Mitchel's recent itinerary in his mind. A vivid image of a rainy night, with Mitchel bleeding from an arm wound, flashed through his thoughts.
An idea suddenly occurred to Matteo, and he said sharply, "Check what happened on Aurora twenty days ago."
The sound of keystrokes buzzed once again.
After about ten minutes, the tapping stopped.
The intelligence center replied, "Twenty days ago, the youngest son of the Maxwell family's leader, Lorenzo, lost his favorite wife, the cause of her death a mystery. It was quite sensational. She was his most favored among twenty-four wives. After her death, which seemed to be a murder and not an accident, Lorenzo locked up the door and killed the maids, drivers, and bodyguards who served that wife. Nearly thirty people were sent to accompany her in death. Lorenzo offered a reward of one billion dollars to anyone who could provide accurate clues to the death of his beloved wife."
Matteo fell into deep thought. He didn't know much about Lorenzo's favorite wife. But he knew about Lorenzo.
Lorenzo was the top fugitive wanted by the authorities in Ambrosia, having committed hundreds of major crimes here. His ability to appear and disappear seemingly at will, coupled with Aurora's status as a lawless place, had thwarted many investigations.
But the special forces of Ambrosia had never ceased tracking Lorenzo down.
Any reliable information on Lorenzo's whereabouts in Ambrosia meant he wouldn't escape the special forces or the severe punishment that awaited him.
Lorenzo was no fool. Knowing the priority the authorities of Ambrosia placed on capturing him, he wouldn't risk casually strolling around but instead sought thrills in countries with more lenient laws.
Matteo's previous knowledge of Lorenzo stemmed from the last incident involving a car loaded with explosives, where Mitchel drove into the sea and jumped out of it at the last second.
The Dixon Group's intelligence center discovered that the explosives detonated that day were linked to Lorenzo.
Furthermore, Raegan was marked on Lorenzo's hunting List.
Although Lorenzo communicated via the car's Bluetooth at that time, surveillance confirmed he didn't step foot in Ardlens. Lorenzo simply orchestrated the events from afar, manipulating the chaos as if he were maneuvering pieces on a chessboard.
Their investigations revealed that Lorenzo hadn't visited Ambrosia for several years. Lorenzo's unexpected appearance this time raised suspicions.
Matteo speculated that the simultaneous occurrences of the explosives at the International Banquet Center and Lorenzo's sudden appearance might be intricately linked to Mitchel's purpose.
The intelligence center continued, "There's another important matter."
