Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



Chapter 673

"A professional assassin?"

Carlisle's pupils contracted. In his previous life, he had only seen assassins in TV shows andnoveldrama

novels. He never would have imagined encountering one after being reborn, even in his wildest dreams.

He wondered who wanted him dead. He considered whether it was Titan Lynch, Jalen Holder, or even Yuriel and Austin Gust. He even wondered if it could be Kyle Carrington, whom he had offended the previous night.

The life-threatening situation made Carlisle's throat tighten.

Wendell added, "Willow Grove is too vast. Unless we arrange for bodyguards to monitor the entire area intensively 24 hours a day, keeping you safe from a professionally trained

assassin would be impossible. Francis and I think that you should move into a detached villa so we can secure your safety more easily."

"Alright. Let me check with Windex Corporation later," Carlisle replied.

It was natural for humans to fear death. Carlisle was no exception.

Having already died once, he valued life more than anyone else, especially considering he might not have another chance to be reborn. He preferred not to take that risk.

Carlisle regained his composure and said solemnly, "Find out who the assassin is at all costs. I want to know who wants me dead."

"Got it," Wendell replied before stepping aside to make a phone call.

Carlisle headed back to his room for a shower. After freshening up, he made himself a bowl of pasta in the kitchen.

At around nine o'clock, he called Leon, who had informed him earlier that he would be going abroad. He wondered if Leon had already returned.

After a short wait, Leon's deep voice came through the line.

"Mr. Zahn."

"Leon, have you returned?"

"I just landed. What's the matter?"

"Well, here's the thing..."

Carlisle proceeded to tell him about Islo Clothing's situation. Leon fell silent after hearing Carlisle's explanation.

Carlisle thought he might have put Leon in a difficult situation, so he smiled and said, "If you don't feel comfortable, forget about it. Lethan asked me to seek your help, and I couldn't turn him down since he's Wanda's uncle."

"I can't help you with this," Leon rejected straightforwardly.

"Yeah, I understand. I told Lethan not to hold out too much hope anyway," Carlisle said.

Even though he was disappointed, he knew he shouldn't push Leon into helping.

"Someone's here to pick me up. Let's talk again sometime," Leon said.

Meanwhile, Lethan headed to Riverland Airport with his company's executives. As soon as they got out of the car, they bumped into Austin and the business team from Fashion Breeze.

"Mr. Warbane!" Austin smiled and greeted with his hands in his pockets.

"You sure came early," Lethan responded while wearing a feigned smile.

As an adult, he had to maintain his manners despite his dislike of Austin.

Austin still remembered how Lethan had snubbed him at the Secretary of State's office last time. Thus, he didn't plan to cut Lethan any slack that day.

"Do you think Islo Clothing stands a chance against us, Mr. Warbane?" Austin asked. Hermès had already announced its collaboration plans. Austin was confident that Fashion Breeze's design would win the collaboration, considering Islo Clothing's design was no match for theirs.

"That's not for you to decide," Lethan replied, his face wearing a gentlemanly smile.

"We'll see about that!" Austin said before leading his business team into the VIP lounge. "Let's go!"

Lethan signaled his men to follow suit.

There were ten people in Hermès' inspection team, including four Flaremontians.
