Chapter 1479 Assessing the Situation
George said, "I understand."
While speaking, he turned to Alex. "Are you coming with me or staying here?"
Alex replied, "I'm staying here."
Eugene ordered someone to send George away by helicopter and then looked toward the
tower.
At that moment, Joseph was no longer standing on the tower and had presumably gone
looking for Olivia.
No one knew how anxious he was at this moment. His heart felt like it was being burned
with fire.
All this while, he had been reassuring himself, telling himself not to be anxious and keep
calm. Only by being calm could he think of a plan.
Alex briefly explained how the children had been kidnapped.
"Yesterday, the clinic received a patient late at night. Since George Parsons had returned
home for dinner, Mr. Gedding went to the clinic to diagnose and treat the patient. I don't
know how those people broke in, but they threatened Mr. Gedding and brought him to the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbackyard. During that time, the children were watching TV with your mom. With Mr.
Gedding as a hostage, the bodyguards you left behind were a bit scared and could only
retreat slowly.
Later, those men easily took the children under their control. Both George and I didn't
dare to move, but Jewel couldn't stand seeing them take away the children, so she took
the opportunity to snatch the killer's gun while he wasn't paying attention and threatened
him back. But those people were ruthless as well. Before Jewel could threaten the person,
the kidnappers killed that person instead. Then, a swarm of killers appeared and brought
Jewel away as well."
Eugene nodded. He could guess that Double Dragon Court must have prepared for this
operation for a long time.
However, he did not expect they would actually declare war on Promise Island six years
later.
Strictly speaking, Double Dragon Court was the best mercenary organization, while
Promise Island had developed into a business empire. They shouldn't have had anything
to do with each other since the beginning.
However, in recent years, Promise Island, which was a very profitable piece of land, had
fallen into Eugene's hands. How could such power not be coveted by various forces?
Some provocateurs invaded the island and openly looted it, while some secretly
intercepted and stole from them. Even he himself had been assassinated by killers from
various sides.
But in the end, he didn't give up.
He knew he must have his own forces to develop further.
During the years he was establishing Promise Island's business empire, he had also begun
to focus on building his own power, which gradually became an organization.
At this moment, his organization could even compare to the best mercenary organization,
Double Dragon Court.
While others were thinking about how to target him, he was already standing at a height
that others could not reach.
Perhaps the Blood Rose incident was just a prelude.
They had too many reasons to target him and Olivia.
Alex looked around and felt more hopeless the more he watched.
He discovered that the Ghost Town was so heavily guarded that even a fly could not get
past the security.
How were they going to save the others in such a condition?
Panicking, Alex asked, "What should we do now? Have you seen Jewel? Is she being kept
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhere, too?"
Eugene explained, "I haven't seen her, and we don't know their intentions. Although
Joseph keeps saying he's doing so for Blood Rose, I think there might be more to it. Maybe
they have another purpose. Otherwise, there's no point in kidnapping Mr. Gedding. In fact,
Mr. Gedding had a good relationship with Jonathan. Mr. Gedding had dealt with only
Jonathan when he tried to get George and Oliva back by paying the ransom. Perhaps this
is all just Joseph's doing."
Alex's eyes lit up little by little. "Right, we can seek help from Jonathan. Maybe things will
be easier with his help."
But Eugene spoke up again. "I'm only speculating that Jonathan had not taken part in this.
However, they are siblings by blood, so we can't just rely on Jonathan alone. You go and
find Jonathan while I search for Mastar's officials. Our children were taken away on their
territory, so they should at least give us an explanation. Moreover, they had kidnapped
someone of high security like Hector. If Joseph insists on making a fuss after we've shown
our sincerity, we will have no choice but to go all out."
Alex agreed, "Okay."
While the two were discussing, a car drove over from a distance.
Eugene was speechless. Who could it be? Could they be the officials colluding with Joseph?
