Blake scratched his head and said, “Sienna, this mission is very complicated and difficult. The location of the mission is at Starksholm, where there have inexplicably been dozens of missing person cases for no reason over the past few months. The culprits behind the modus operandi are covert and extra cautious. “At present, the preliminary conclusion is that there must be an organized and premeditated trafficking organization behind this. So, the boss’s intention is for you to join hands to work together with Cloud to find those missing persons as a means to get into the culprit’s den so that you can uncover this organization’s nest and overturn it at one go!” Blake paused, and then said, “The timeframe when people go missing in Starksholm is basically at the end of the month. There are still ten days left before the end of the month. So, if Cloud doesn’t intend to accept this mission during this period, you’ll have to take on this mission alone then, Sienna.”Sienna was helpless
“Even if I can’t think clearly, what does that have to do with you?” Sienna glanced at the badge on the teenager’s body and called out his name, “Zeke, are you anxious to hurry up and repay me just because I helped you twice?”Zeke turned his back to Sienna but did not say a word.This was because her guess was really right.Zeke was silent for a moment, and he finally uttered, “I don’t like to owe others favors.”“You don’t need to owe it, and I don’t need you to pay it back.”Sienna sat down beside the guardrail on the rooftop and said unhurriedly, “There are still two minutes left before class. You can still make it in time if you go down now.”“It doesn’t matter.” A wry smile flashed across Zeke’s face. Perhaps, he thought that he would never see Sienna again, so he said the words that were originally hidden in his heart without any hesitation.“I’ve already submitted an application to withdraw from the school. I’ll no longer be a student here after the school approves of my
The cramped and simple rental house was a mess. All the things that could be smashed had been smashed, and there was not even a place where you could find footing on the floor beneath his feet.An arrogant and pompous lady was sitting on the sofa with a group of people. She was elegant like she was a high and mighty queen. His mother’s hair was disheveled, and her cheeks were red. She had obviously been slapped several times, and she could only whimper and beg for mercy.“I beg you to please have mercy and let me and my son off.”The woman cried, and when she saw Zeke back home, she shouted immediately, “What are you doing back here? Hurry up and leave!”Zeke clenched his teeth and walked in step by step.“Mom, we don’t have to beg them for help. Get up.”Zeke bent over and helped his mother up from the ground. The tone in his voice was indistinguishable. He looked at the noble lady who was sitting on the sofa and said word by word, “I was the one who caused your son to be para
Sherlyn fell to the ground and coughed a few times. She struggled to get up, but she had an asthma attack at that moment.Sherlyn clutched her collar tightly. Her face was flushed red, and she had difficulty breathing. She was like a fish that was on the verge of dying for water. She did not have any strength left, and she could only stretch out her hands with great difficulty. “Medicine… Medicine…”The medicine was in a cabinet not far away.Zeke violently pushed the bodyguard next to him away, rushed to the cabinet, and opened the drawer. But just as he was about to get the bottle of inhaler, four bodyguards swarmed up and restrained his hands and feet in a death grip!The bottle of life-saving inhaler fell into the noble lady’s hands. “You want this, don’t you? Fine. Get down on your knees and beg me, and I’ll give it to you then.”The noble lady was condescending as she smiled openly and cruelly. Zeke’s eyes were flushed red. He saw that his mother could not breathe and
At this time, near the Laver mansion.It was drizzling, and dark clouds were shrouding the area. The boy with flushed red eyes was walking on the road with a knife. His shoulders were wet, and there were injuries on his legs from getting beaten up. He was limping, but he was still firmly running toward the villa that was not far away. He had to get revenge!Zeke held the handle of the knife tightly in his hand. His mind was filled with the thought of perishing together with that woman.At this time, the drizzle above his head was blocked. A black umbrella had opened up behind him.Zeke was stunned for a moment. He did not turn around, nor did he care who was holding the umbrella for him. He simply continued walking forward. One step, two steps. When he finally approached, the high courtyard wall and iron gate of the Laver mansion blocked his advances. The villa was impregnable, and there were surveillance cameras both inside and outside the villa. There were also many b
Sienna and Zeke no longer spoke with each other and silently made their way back the way they had come from. After a prolonged period of silence, Zeke eventually replied in a raspy voice, “Thank you.”He expressed his gratitude to Sienna for providing him with protection in the toughest time in his life.Sienna enquired, “Where were you going to relocate?”“Capital City,” Zeke responded. He had been working on that plan for a while. There would always be a chance as long as he put in the effort since Capital City was an affluent city.His mother had initially opposed his plan. She wanted him to graduate; it was such a pity for him to give up when he only needed to finish the final semester. He had to persuade his mother over and over again. He believed he could escape the nightmare which Lavers had inflicted upon him. He never expected a drastic change would occur on the day before he was about to move away with his mother. If he could move earlier—just a little earlier—maybe
Speaking of which, this was the first time she had set foot in Harry’s study after the wall between the villas had been demolished.The study’s door was very hefty. The door was equipped with a dual fingerprint combination lock. There was excellent sound insulation both inside and outside the room. Even with her ears on the door, she was unable to hear the noise that came from the room. Sienna had no desire to pry into other people’s business. She walked over gracefully, raised her hand, and knocked on the door.Knock, knock, knock. Two seconds later, the door was opened, and Kai walked out of the room. He bowed to Sienna and greeted, “Young Mistress, how may I be of assistance?”“I’m looking for Harry.” There was no need for Kai to deliver that message because Harry’s deep and magnetic voice came out of the room. “Come in.”Sienna entered the room.The study was quite spacious. There were several bookshelves which were fully occupied with books. The interior was organized a
Sienna was a little dumbfounded due to the sneeze. ‘Why do I feel like someone is cursing me behind my back?’Bona put her hand on her hips while saying, “Sisi, you must have sneezed because you got wet in the rain. This is unacceptable! I’ll ask Miss White to prepare ginger tea for you!”“I’m good.” Sienna wanted to refuse, but Bona had rushed out of the room in the blink of an eye.‘Well, there is no way for me to escape from drinking that bitter and spicy ginger tea, it seems.’ Sienna shook her head. She gave Hunter a call since she had some time to kill. She needed to leave Isonbert for a few weeks, so she had to make sure Universal Atrium could run smoothly. She had to give the crew a few instructions no matter if she was worried or not. Hunter answered the phone rather quickly. His background was extremely noisy. He couldn’t conceal the joy in his tone as he said, “Boss! I was just about to give you a call. I’m quite surprised when you called first. Hehe! Quick! Guess ho
