Percy knew what Luke was thinking, so he patted him on the shoulders. “Once the Ind of Despair is


    eradicated, she can finally be with you for good."


    "Yeah." Luke''s voice was hoarse, and he was getting dizzy from anger.


    It was the anger he had toward the Ind of Despair.


    The thugs from the Ind of Despair were actually brave enough to pick on him back then.


    This time, after the resurgence of the Ind of Despair, they picked on Luca.


    There was no way he would ever let them get away with it!


    "Come, let''s have a drink. The surveince footage will probably be sent over by the time we''re done


    drinking." Percy opened another bottle of wine.


    His subordinates were drinking in the room next door, and they began investigating Pierre''s


    whereabouts while waiting for the footage to be sent over.


    They drank until dawn.


    When there was finally a knock on the door, the three of them simultaneously put down their wine


    sses. "It''s here," Percy said.


    Jim turned off the music in the room.


    Percy raised his voice and said, "Come in."


    Adrian pushed the door open before walking in and said, "Mr. Pierre, we''ve watched all the footage."


    "Did you find anything?" Percy asked.


    Adrian shook his head and said, "The only thing we found was that your brotherst appeared at the


    borders of A City and X City. Those people were very slick as they changed vehicles more than once


    midway. The sun had risen toward the end, and the number of vehicles on the road increased, so it''s


    hard for us to guess which car Pierre was brought into."


    Percy raised his eyebrows. He had expected this oue.


    After all, it was the Ind of Despair. It took them a great deal of effort to arrest all the members of the


    old Ind of Despair back then, so it was only natural that the new Ind of Despair would not be


    much worse off.


    "Would they be in X City?" Luke murmured. Since he wasst seen between A CIty and X City, he


    reckoned that there was a good chance that Pierre could have been kidnapped to X City.


    "Isn''t X City your hometown?" Jim frowned.


    "Yes." Luke nodded. What he said was true, but there were not many people in X City who could help


    them.


    After Old Master Crawford had secured his foothold here, he did not further develop his business in X


    City as it was a hignd. Other than tourism, there were little to no prospects for other businesses.


    Therefore, the Crawford family did not hold much power there other than their reputation.


    "If he really is in X City, then it''ll be hard to investigate this case." Jim was aware of that fact.


    None of them had expanded their businesses to X City, and even the Crawford family had only a little


    influence there, so there were not many locals they could ask for help.


    When it came to tasks like investigation, the locals would always be of much better help than the


    people they sent over there.


    Percy had a sullen look. "The Ind of Despair had nned this kidnapping for a long time."


    Otherwise, they would not have chosen X City.


    Adrian said in response, "There''s no guarantee that Pierre''s in X City. The car might''ve disappeared at


    the borders of A City and X City, but they could be misleading us on purpose..."


    "It''s quite unlikely.." Jim shook his head as he felt that they would not go to such lengths.


    "Since they changed cars midway and even appeared in the surveince footage, they must be


    somewhere in X City. Now, we have to find out where they took Pierre, so it looks like we have to send


    people to X City. Luke, do Gale and Rain have people in X City?"


    "No." Luke looked dejected too.


    X City was not in T Corporation''s development strategy, so he did not have Gale and Rain deploy


    manpower in X City.


    Adrain responded, "If you really want to look for him in X City, we can go there right now, but it''ll be


    hard since we''re not familiar with the ce. Would you still want to go, then, Mr. Mallory?"


    "Did you really not find him in the footage?" Percy looked at him.


    Adrian shook his head. "After realizing that Mr. Pierre might have been kidnapped to X City, I even


    hacked their surveince system, but I couldn''t find anything useful in any of the clips. I don''t know


    what car they changed into, and the resolution of the footage is not great, so it''s hard to find him."


    Surveince cameras were not like actual cameras that could clearly show the inside of the car.


    Moreover, Pierre must have been unconscious the entire ride as he did not even appear in a single


    frame of the many footages they watched.


    If it were not for the fact that there were not many cars on the road when the kidnapper left, it would


    have been impossible for them to track down the second car they changed into.


    "I''ll send Gale to X City," said Luke as he picked up his phone to give the order.


    Besides, Gale was from the Ind of Despair, so he knew how the Ind of Despair handled things.


    Perhaps, he would be able to find something in X City.


    "Mr. Crawford, Mr. Mallory, I suggest calling the police and letting the police from X City and A City help


    us. I''m worried that Mr. Pierre might be in danger if we''re toote," Adrian expressed his thoughts.


    Besides, the police would be of much help in situations they were unfamiliar with.


    "No." Percy rejected his suggestion. If they were going to call the police in the first ce, they would


    not have let Adrian hack into the surveince system to obtain the footage.


    "Mr. Mallory?" Adrian looked at him in confusion.


    Even after the two brothers had a falling out, Percy still asked him to hack into their system to ess


    the surveince footage. Was he not trying to look for Pierre? Yet, he refused to call the police...


    Did he want Pierre to die in their hands?


    "Those people don''t want to kill him. If they wanted to kill him, they could''ve just done it at Oswald''s


    ce. Why would they go through all that trouble of knocking him out and transporting him with


    different vehicles in fear of being caught?" Jim slowly exined it to him.


    "So, what do they want?" Adrian thought that what he said made sense, but it was beyond his ability to


    specte what the other party wanted, so he asked him directly.


    "Who knows? Maybe they kidnapped Mr. Pierre to get ransom money from the Mallory family since


    they''re so rich." Jim took a sip of wine and added, "Although Pierre''s life might not be in danger, he


    should still suffer the consequences of his actions. It serves him right for even having the guts to


    provoke that organization.."


    Adrian sat on the other sofa. He was not anxious about what might happen to Pierre.

    After all, he was just helping Percy. He did not like Pierre in the slightest bit.


    Such an ipetent yet arrogant master like him was bound to suffer.


    Percy looked at Luke. "They''re targeting the Mallory family, though. Are you sure you want Gale to go?"


    "Obtaining a bit of information is better than nothing. Plus, I''m not sending Gale just for the sake of


    Pierre," Luke told him frankly.


    Finding Pierre was secondary.


    Right now, all of them thought that the people from the Ind of Despair were in X City. Even if the


    person behind this was not the final boss of the Ind of Despair, that person must hold some


    authority.


    Thu, he sent Gale there to get more information on the Ind of Despair.
