Chapter 116: The Hardest Things To Find, Hide Under Your Nose

Ezra pulled into the parking lot of the T-Max building, the imposing structure towering over the city's skyline. The moonlight reflected off its sleek glass exterior, casting a dim glow over the entrance.

He got out of the car and walked around to the passenger side, where Red was waiting. He opened the door and she stepped out.

"Thanks for setting up the meeting with Lilith." Ezra said, offering a genuine smile. "Your help is invaluable."

Red nodded, her expression unreadable. "Anything for the cause, Ezra. Be careful out there. I don't want my only source of ready vitality dying anytime soon."

Ezra watched as she made her way into the building before returning to his car. The engine hummed to life, and he sped off, pushing the limits of the legal speed as he navigated the nearly empty streets back to his mansion.

The night's events replayed in his mind. His enemies had been hiding under his nose the whole time. Not any more.
