When Connie saw that her daughter was fine, her hardened face finally softened. However, she still held Lily's neck with her hand and spoke to Plague. "Put down my daughter, and I'll give you Lily." Plague saw the puddle of blood under Lily and knew that this ruthless woman in front of him would never hesitate. He silently picked Hilda up and threw her somewhere in front of Connie. Remembering how Thomas had died and Lily's appearance, she had gone weak from all the crying. However, when Plague loosened his grip on her, the strong desire to live gave her strength as she rolled as hard as she could toward Connie's feet. When Connie saw her daughter, she was secretly relieved as she threw Lily over and quickly rushed forward to pick Hilda up. Meanwhile, Plague dashed forward to hold Lily as they both hurriedly backed away from each other. Connie carried Hilda and retreated. At this moment, Hilda no longer had the strength to question Connie. Between Lily and her, Connie would def
Plague ran down the main street of the town. All of a sudden, he felt a tingling sensation. His experience as a killer told him that there was incoming danger. As expected, the next second, he felt as if his calf was bitten by a poisonous snake. He looked down and saw that he was shot, and the bullet had gone through his calf. Snipers! Plague gritted his teeth and continued moving forward. He had amazing fitness. As he ran, he kept searching for escape points. He was fast and moved very cautiously so the snipers couldn't aim for a second shot. There was a parking lot in front that wasn't demolished yet. There was even a car that looked brand new, and under the moonlight, he could see that the ruts on the ground were pretty fresh. The car was probably owned by residents from the nearby suburbs. When Plague saw the car, he quickly backed up. He didn't think of stealing the car and driving away. Instead, he ran away from it. If someone drove that car not long ago, it means that there
The two of them sat outside the ward and prayed for a miracle. At the same time, Rex was following Johnathan on the hunt for Plague. When the Cannon family found out that someone crazy had sneaked into Taadi, they instantly sent over a group of men to follow Rex on his chase. Meanwhile, Linux and Connie provided technical support for them. Plague had been stabbed by Nathan and affected by the explosion. Even though he escaped, he couldn't have run far. Moreover, the injuries on his body could only be treated in hospitals. The Cannon family, Jordan family, Kyle and Nathan had groups of men searching all over Taadi City for this man. After half a day, they still had no clue where Plague was, which was why Nathan sent someone to help Rex. When Rex saw the so called helper, a cold expression appeared on his face and it was full of detest. "Anthony, why are you here?!" With a smile, Anthony replied, "Why can't I be here?" The members of Cannon Family stared at Anthony with ugly exp
At the hospital, Sonnia had awoken. However, her throat had been injured, and she temporarily couldn't move nor speak. Alas, she was rescued. When she saw Hilda, she wept uncontrollably, and her guilt grew stronger. Yet, she couldn't make a sound. She shakingly lifted her hand that was not connected to the intravenous drip. Thus, Hilda quickly grabbed her hand and said, "I don't blame you. I really don't." In response, Sonnia's mouth flattened into a line, and her tears rained down. Hilda hurriedly wiped Sonnia's tears away. Hilda understood it all. Everything that happened was not Sonnia's fault. Hence, she stayed to talk with Sonnia for a while before leaving quickly. She wanted Sonnia to have a good rest to recuperate from her injuries. Although she returned with her life, her injuries needed time to heal. When Sonnia woke up again, she kept crying without stopping. Only a small part of her tears was for her father, rather, she even felt a sense of relief when she learned tha
Connie announced the termination of the contract with the Jones Family and canceled all forms of cooperation with them. At that moment, the Jones Family had yet to respond. Sonnia stayed in the hospital for a few days before Kyle brought her back home. The sports car that had saved his life was slightly dented, but it went on the news and became a world famous car. Once again, Jordan Manufacturing shocked the whole world with the quality of its products, and the sports car was bought by a collector at a high price. After that, Sonnia and Hilda split the proceeds and donated some of them. Hilda also bought Sonnia a sturdy car as a gift. When Thomas's injuries stabilized, he was transferred to the Aebasa Residence to recuperate. During that period, Hilda's wounds healed the fastest. Moreover, Elizabeth seemed to settle down after her experience with the killers, at the very least, she did not dare to make such blatant moves anymore. Anthony also confirmed that the kill order placed by
Getting out of bed, Nathan went to get some water. When he came back, he noticed a project proposal lying on her work table. It was titled 'Proposal to Develop Pet Luxury Goods in Cooperation With the Smith Group'. "The Smith Group? The Bowen Family?" Upon seeing the words 'the Smith Family', he scowled fiercely with a trace of disgust in his eyes. "What's wrong? It's the Bowen Family! The world's greatest Taadi financial conglomerate! Is there a problem with it?" Hilda sat up on the bed and asked. The disgusted expression on his face as he stared at the words 'Smith Group' was as if he had swallowed a dead fly, and it made her even more curious. "What's with your expression? Why do you have the same expression as my mother?" The 'Smith Group' was the world's greatest Taadi financial conglomerate. Its strength was comparable to that of the Jordan Group. The family behind the Smith Group was a Taadi family, the Bowen Family that was said to be an ancient family that migrated from
The group of people proceeded to leave hastily just as they had arrived. Once they were in the car, Anthony said, "I will make some calls to ask around the locals here. We will probably hear some news soon." Nathan was also anxious and filled with regret. He was mad at himself for having stalled for a few days. Earlier, Hilda had asked for the child's photographs. According to the owner of the house, the child was delivered to them when she was just two months old. Plague and Yvonne gave the couple a large sum of money to look after the child. They even asked the couple to send the child to the best school in the area and to treat her as their own while they continued to pay them generously. Every so often, Plague and Yvonne would transfer money to that couple's bank account, but they never showed up in person. They usually had the couple mail photographs of the child at given times. From the photographs the couple had given Hilda, she could tell that the child was being raised
The black market was a place where people were trafficked. It was an illegal industry that the government had no control over. They had been in existence for centuries, ever since the maritime period. Behind closed doors, conglomerates and government officials continued to tacitly approve of them. Hence, they had never gotten banned. Every day, people were delivered like goods in mass quantities to be sold off. There were men, women, and children, anyone that had a value. Hilda and Nathan drove for an hour before they arrived at their destination. Getting out of the car, it looked like a regular shopping street. All they saw was famous international luxury brand retail stores, exclusive stores, and even the Jordan Group's high end mobile phones. It was a woman's paradise. Nathan turned to Hilda and said, "You can take a look around here. Jayden and I will go down first. I'll come and get you once I'm done." But, it was not an ordinary day and Hilda was unwilling to take a step aw
