The person in the passenger turned back to look at Arthur. “Yeah, Blair’s men are looking all over for you. You shouldn’t show yourself for the time being.”Arthur looked at the two people in front and said in a warmthless tone, “Since when was it your place to tell me what to do?”The two people in front exchanged a glance and did not dare to speak anymore.They received orders to assist Arthur in completing his mission and had to act according to his commands. So, they did not dare to say much.After a while, the man in the passenger seat said, “There’s also a kid. When should we take action?”Arthur said, “The Fowler family’s bodyguard will send him to preschool tomorrow morning. It’s not suitable to act on the road. The best way is to wait until he reaches preschool.”“Got it.”...When Tracey woke up again, she realized that her hands and feet were tied, and her mouth was taped.She was in the backseat of a car. The sky was already bright, and the scenery outside the wind
Arthur’s words were like a thunderbolt, brutally striking Tracey’s head.She stared wide-eyed, unable to believe that the man who held her last night would say such things now.The driver chuckled and touched Tracey’s face. “The chick really does look good. I do want to play with her a little.”Arthur looked at the time. “Then you’d better make it quick. Stephen’s men should be coming soon.”The man looked at Arthur teasingly. “Are you sure, Shiro?”Arthur glanced at the pale Tracey without a hint of warmth in his eyes. “Why not? I’ve already had my fill of her. If you don’t mind, then feel free.”“Mmph!”Tracey could not bear it anymore. Tears streamed down her face.How could he?How could he do this to her?Was he lying when he said he loved her? Was everything just an act?Tracey shook with anger. If not for her tied up limbs, she would have grabbed him and demanded an explanation.Why was he doing this to her?Why?!The man shrugged. “Hehe, don’t mind if I do.”Arth
However, to his surprise, there was not just one photo but two...When he saw the picture of Tracey, tied up and covered in blood, his expression changed instantly.They kidnapped Tracey!“Arthur!” Blair clenched his phone tightly, unable to contain his anger.At that moment, his phone rang.Blair looked at the number displayed on the phone screen and narrowed his eyes dangerously.“Hello?” He answered the call.The person on the other end remained silent for two seconds and then chuckled. “Hello, Blair.”“James! Where are my son and sister?!”James clicked his tongue. “Blair, I’m your uncle. Isn’t it somewhat impolite to raise your voice at me like this?”“There’s no need to be polite to someone like you!”James said, “Forget it. You were still young when I was ‘killed’ by your father, so you don’t remember me much. How about this? I’ll treat you to dinner tonight. Let’s have a nice uncle-to-nephew talk.”“Where?”“Arkhill Port, 8 PM. I’ll be waiting.”After a pause, he
Mable’s eardrums almost burst from Rory’s voice. She quickly moved the phone away.“You’ve spent so many years learning medicine under your master. Did those skills get eaten by a dog? Hah! Your master would be rolling in his grave if he knew how stupid you are. In fact, he’d crawl right out of his grave and come back to beat you up!”Mable rubbed her temples. “Do you think I’m joking, Rory?“I have confidence in my medical skills and have checked my own condition. Ever since I got poisoned, my pulse has been a mess. I’ve also read all my medical reports. It’s true that my condition now doesn’t look good. My body is already showing signs of organ failure. Just a few days ago, I didn’t even have the energy to stand...”Mable told Rory the details about her condition.At her words, Rory was silent for a while before asking, “How many days ago were you poisoned?”Rory’s voice was grim. It seemed he was finally taking this seriously.Mable answered, “Today is the fifth day.“Maybe
Mable sighed as she looked at her phone.Italee. The Saint Ellis Hotel.Rory frustratedly hung up the video call and tossed his phone onto the table. He wished he could strangle that woman!He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. Rory furrowed his brows and thought, ‘It seemed like no ordinary poison could cause organ failure.’When he confidently assured Mable that she would not die, he was trying to comfort her. The Necro Poison was too mysterious and sophisticated. Even studying poisons for so many years, he had not wholly unraveled its secrets.Rory lost in thought for a moment, then picked up his phone and made a call.The call went through. "Mr. Rory, what can I do for you?" Jeremiah’s voice came on the other end of the line."Mr. Jeremiah, if you don't act quickly, she's in danger," Rory said.Jeremiah's tone became stern and asked, "What happened?""She poisoned," Rory replied."Poisoned?""If you don't hurry, you might not see her again.""I understand. Than
As the tape was torn off her mouth, Tracey shouted at Arthur, "Arthur, why did you betray my brother? Why did you do this to me?"The blonde man chuckled and beckoned to Arthur, who walked over to him."Miss Tracey, let me formally introduce him to you. His name is Shiro, Stephen’s most prized subordinate."The blonde man finished speaking and looked at Arthur with admiration. "Shiro, you haven't disappointed me.""Arthur, tell me everything he said is not true!" Tracey shouted.Arthur faced Tracey with an emotionless expression and spoke coldly, "My purpose was to gain Blair's trust. Initially, I didn't intend to get close to you. You repeatedly pestered me, so I decided to be with you. This indeed increased Blair's trust in me."Tracey could not believe what she heard, and her strength seemed to drain from her body. She fell to the ground, trembling.Although she had already learned about Arthur's identity from the driver earlier, hearing him admit it in person was still a sig
Arthur slowly raised his hand, despair filling Tracey’s heart.Outside the warehouse. The blonde man had just stepped into his car when two gunshots rang out from the warehouse.The blonde man took out his phone, opened the surveillance inside the warehouse, and saw Blair's sister and son lying in a pool of blood.The man chuckled, took a screenshot, and sent it to Stephen. "Head to the port," he instructed the driver.At the Arkhill Port.The night had cast a mysterious, gloomy light over the entire sea surface, seemingly calm and peaceful. Beneath the sea's surface, currents were swirling.Three Bentley cars slowly drove into the port and eventually stopped at the dock.A luxurious cruise ship was docked at the shore not far away.The blonde man, who had just boarded the ship, looked at the three cars approaching and smiled faintly.He turned and walked into the cabin, where James was playing chess. "Master Stephen, Blair has arrived." James, eagerly waiting for this momen
Upon hearing this, James' expression changed slightly.He had also considered the possibility of Marissa exposing his identity, so after rescuing her, he had made sure to have her stay elsewhere for a while. However, James had not expected Blair to implant a tracker in her body."So, it seems like you intentionally let me rescue Marissa," James said.Blair nodded.James smiled. "I was careless, but I believe I have the upper hand in this contest, don't I?"Blair's face remained cold as he asked, "Where is Tracey and my son?""Don't rush. As I said, tonight is a family dinner, and we can talk while we eat."James raised his hand, and soon, his men brought out a long table with dishes and red wine."Please, have a seat."Knowing James was trying to buy time, Blair sat across from him."I almost forgot; we have another important guest."James looked at his assistant and said, "Go, bring my dear brother out.""Yes."Soon, a man in a wheelchair was wheeled out of the cabin.
