"My Lord, are you all right?" a subordinate asked, rushing to catch up.
“I''m just fine.” Warren put his hands on his hips, facing a nearbyke and taking deep breaths of fresh air to keep himself from having a heart attack. "No food for him tonight."
Let him go hungry for a night. See how arrogant he was then.
"Yes, My Lord," the subordinate replied respectfully, struggling to keep fromughing. Their boss was the one who needed the favor, after all. In the past, if the leader of Subterra Vanguard had shown up on their doorstep, he would have been dead by now. It was no wonder Specter treated his cell like a home away from home.
That evening, Shanley returned home after finishing up his work at the office. He scanned the room, but there was no sign of Juniper. Usually, at this time, she''d be lounging on the sofa, ying games on her phone.
"Mr. Schwartz." Dana came out from the kitchen, wiping her hands, a worried look on her face. "Ms. Payne isn''t back yet."
"Still not back?" Shanley paused in the middle of taking off his jacket, his eyes narrowing dangerously.
Security on Liberty Ind was extremely tight. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Juniper hadn''t brought anymunication devices with her on herst two trips. Thest time, she had left in the morning and returned in the afternoon. But this time...
"I see.” Shanley put his jacket back on and started for the door, issuing orders to Felton and Flint. "Get some men together. We''re going to pay Warren a visit on Liberty Ind."
"Boss, should we bring the ''fireworks''?" Flint asked instinctively.
From the boss''s grim tone, it was highly likely that Ms. Payne was being held on Liberty Ind. They would definitely need the fireworks for that.
"Bring them." Shanley gave Flint a long look, then thought for a moment before adding coolly, “As for whether we set them off... let Juniper decide.”
On Liberty Ind.
Celine hadn''t spoken a word to Warren all evening, furious that he had driven away her brilliant doctor.
Warren took a deep breath, forcing himself to be patient and coaxing her in a soft voice. "You still have to eat even if you''re angry. Otherwise where will you get the energy to fight with me?"
"If I eat, will you let me see my doctor?" Celine pleaded, her eyes red and her longshes still damp with tears. It was obvious she had been crying. For a long time.
Juniper always said goodbye before she left. But not this time. When Celine woke up, she was just... gone. She''d heard from the staff that her husband had locked
her up.
"Snap-"
The spoon in Warren''s hand shattered. Ayer of frost descended over his handsome face, his expression turning cold and severe.
The doctor, the doctor! Why was her mind sopletely consumed by that pretty boy?
Warren''s face was dark, his fury simmering, and the entire vi held its breath.
The silence was broken only when a subordinate rushed in, daring to speak. "My Lord, the leader of the Sigma Network is here."
Warren wasn''t surprised to hear the name. A sarcastic smile touched his lips.
It was true love, wasn''t it? Specter had barely been locked up, and the leader of the
Sigma Network was already at his door.
"I''m not seeing him," Warren refused without a second thought.
He didn''t have the emotional capacity to deal with his two arch-rivals at once. The priority right now was Celine''s condition.
"The leader of the Sigma Network
says he wants to make a deal with you," the subordinate continued. "He
also said he has information about the Madam''s family."
"What?" At those words, Warren''s head snapped to the side, his expression instantly turning serious.
Information about Celine''s family? If
he remembered correctly, Celine''s intellectual development had been halted at the age of six due to a severe trauma, likely rted to her family Over the years, he had tried
to find them, but the clues were too
sparse, and he had made no
progress.
The tworgest hacker organizations in the world belonged to Subterra Vanguard
and the Sigma Network. If they wanted to find someone, they probably could.
