Allyce looked up and Severo hooked a finger at her.
He had to walk towards her.
“Go get Dita for me and get a file.”
“Good”.
Allyce said yes, but didn’t move.
Severo raised an eyebrow at the sight of her: “What?
“Mahoney and his company have recently invested in a new brand?” When you work in this business, you know a bit about the moves of big companies.
“What, are you interested?” Severo approached her, trying to pull her into his arms.
Allyce turned away with a quick glance, she was talking business with him before messing with him.
He looked at Severo with a straight face: “I have just been told in Betsalem that your company’s new brand, the latest edition of the brand, is looking for Izar. ”
At the sound of a familiar name, Severo’s normally unperturbed face freezes for a moment.
“Izar?” Severo repeated.
Allyce saw that look on Severo’s face on a rare occasion and her lips curved slightly, “Looks like she’s ready to come back.”
Severo’s face was grim: “Heh, he’ll make a comeback if he has the guts”.
“She has the audacity to make a comeback now, she must have a very powerful aide behind her, just as … was able to escape from Solares castle in the first place. “Allyce paid careful attention to Severo’s expression as she said this, as if trying to see something in his face.
Only she failed.
Severo certainly could not have shown his hand if he was trying to hide something.
But he didn’t beat around the bush with Allyce either.
“Grizzi,” he pronounced the three words with a faint opening.
Now it was Allyce’s turn to be surprised: “Did you know he had joined Grizzi?
Severo reached out, pulling Allyce, still in shock, into his arms without speaking.
Allyce was thinking about things too hard to care that much.
“When did you know?”
“I had that suspicion as soon as I heard the news that Izar had escaped, but it was only later, when I was looking for her, that it was confirmed”. Severo’s voice was a little deeper.
He knew better than Allyce how much Izar hated them.
While neither is going to be easy for the other’s people, there has to be a breakthrough.
“What does he intend to do now that he has reappeared?” That is the question you should be thinking about right now.
Severo stroked his hair: “Naturally, it was an order from Grizzi’s organisation”.
“What the hell is Grizzi up to?” Allyce frowned fiercely, she couldn’t understand.
Is it just about money and power, and can human greed be so heavy?
Severo replied dryly: “I don’t know”.
I was also telling Allyce that Grizzi’s ambitions were great.
They have great wealth and power, and as people grow in power, the greed in their hearts grows and will expand unabated.
When they have a town, they want a city, and when they have a city, they want the whole province …
In all their moves over the years, they have all pointed in one direction, and that is to expand their power.
Already the largest international mafia organisation, the fact that they are still thinking about expanding their power means that they want to extend their tentacles to all areas.
Both blacks and whites want to occupy it.
Their ambitions are too great.
And, what they want to achieve is constant looting and crime.
They even managed to continue to grow and develop, and Severo suspects that someone in the royal family may have colluded with them, either in the cabinet or someone with close ties to the royal family.
He doesn’t say this for fear of scaring Allyce.
Allyce looked back, thinking about what she had just said, and got up from his arms: “I’ll go get your information first.
Severo let go of her hand and let her go.
…
The next day, the news that Izar was to reappear dominated the entertainment pages.
A very large page is dedicated to Izar.
On his former life, the plays he has appeared in, the charity work he has done, and the sudden rumour of his retirement two years ago, which sent people into the countryside.
Major newspapers also report on IZAR as if it were an appointment.
Allyce had indicated to the maids the first night that she wanted to see the newspaper when she woke up the next day.
The maid dutifully brought the paper ahead of time and Allyce saw it as soon as she got up.
The paper not only outlined Izar’s past, but also mentioned that he had accepted an endorsement from Mahoney’s company.
At the same time, there is no negative news about IZAR in the press.
Behind it, I’m afraid, is an extremely professional team running it again.
All tied up, it would be easy for him to return to the peak he had two years ago, or, it is not impossible for him to surpass what he was two years ago.
Allyce reads all the newspapers, even on her way to the office.
Severo, who was sitting next to her in the cold, ventured: “Why are you so worried about her?
“I’m going to start with her, before she was able to pay her driver to drive me around without knowing it, and now she’s making a big comeback, there’s definitely a ghost in there.”
As to what ghosts there were, I had no idea.
Severo caught the key word in his words: “Did he grab you?
Allyce was slightly stunned and it occurred to her that this had happened during Severo’s last hospitalisation.
Because of this incident, Severo had a seizure.
He didn’t bother to read the paper again either and turned his head to look out of the window, looking unfriendly.
“Speak plainly.” Severo reached out and tugged.
“It was the last time, when you saw Gabrio and me in front of the hotel …” Allyce didn’t really want to bring up the unpleasantness, but Severo was willing to listen, so she was willing to talk anyway.
Before, no matter how much he explained, Severo wouldn’t listen to her.
As Severo listened, his grip on her hand loosened, his eyes darkened and it was difficult to discern what was going through his mind.
Allyce shook his hand, but heard Severo say, “I’m sorry”.
Allyce froze and paused in her shaking motion as she shook her hand, “I know you didn’t mean to misunderstand me, and, I …”
He looked at Severo and smiled as he reached out to rub Severo’s clean-shaven hair. “Anyway, you’re better now.”
Although Severo has been very kind to her, she is still not brave enough to touch Severo’s head.
Deep down he feels that touching Severo’s hair is an intimate gesture, but when he looks at Severo’s cold face he feels that he lets go and offends him.
Severo let her stroke his head, his eyes flickering slightly, slightly lost in thought.
