Chapter 1422 Murderous Intent
Once Thomas found out Terry and the others used to work for Mr. Carrerra, he immediately ordered
people to investigate. However, Elisa had beaten him to it and was now reading the documents she
found. Her gaze was dazed as she pondered the matter.
Mr. Carrerra had legal businesses in the Middle East and dabbled with the underworld.
He was known to be cruel and perverted and liked to control people with poison. Furthermore, he was
always in search of immortality.
Rumors said he drank human blood and ate human flesh.
He came to Moranta to bid for Ganoderma Caligo. He wanted it to attain immortality and to cure his
ailing biological sister.
Unfortunately, Elisa could not find anything about his real name or family background.
Men like him were unsound, perverted, and dangerous to society.
Later, Elisa and a few others sat at a table.

over, we will find out who drugged you."
"Also, since we are overseas, we should play it safe and be wary of anyone approaching us."
Gareth responded, "Do you think someone secretly controls anyone who suddenly comes to us?"
His expression darkened intimidatingly.
Based on Elisa's investigation, the congratulatory gift from Mr. Carrerra, and the words passed on by
his subordinates, the man called Mr. Carrerra had been targeting them for a long time.
Although it would be challenging, Gareth knew they had to do something. Otherwise, the enemy would
strike them again. Furthermore, anyone who approached them was not ordinary people. If they did not
strike first, there would be no telling when the enemy would deal a severe blow against them. Attacking
the enemy first would make the enemy wary of attempting anything against them.
Elisa had also considered this.
She frowned and said sternly, "I know, but it is vital to deal with the more urgent matters at hand. As
long as we are in KKCD Casino, Mr. Carrerra won't dare to do anything to us. He wouldn't want to go
against the casino owner."
Gareth understood what Elisa meant.
However, he still said, "I know what I'm doing. Don't worry."
He looked at Elisa calmly.
Elisa was surprised but decided not to dwell on the matter. She hesitated briefly before saying, "Your
safety is the priority. I hope you won't do anything rash. The banquet is vital."
"Sure."
…
"Sure."
…
At nine o'clock the following evening, KKCD Casino's banquet began on time. Despite the previous
postponement, the organizer still maintained the location they booked. The guests arrived at the venue

Elisa chose to dress in a simpler style tonight. She wore a white cotton shirt with loose linen cropped
pants and white shoes. Then, she did her hair in a simple braid and tied her hairband into a bow.
Moreover, she did not wear makeup. She had good facial features and smooth skin. Thus, she looked
beautiful as a fairy, even without makeup.
Then, she and Gareth held hands as they entered the venue. She did not expect to bump into familiar
faces at the door.
They were Nicole and Aaron. They dressed in matching colors of black and white, walking in like a pair
of lovebirds.
Eden also brought a woman with him. She wore a royal formal gown and concealed her face with a
mask.
Still, Elisa noticed the woman's murderous and provocative glare. She could not help but wonder if she
was mistaken.
Suddenly, a mocking tone sounded nearby. "Ms. Benett, wonderful banquet. I heard you recently
rescued a few strays. Why didn't you bring them?"
