His Lordship Alexander Kane

Chapter 0624

About an hour and a half later, at Jonathan's private mansion in the western suburbs of Sullivan Town.

"Where are the people? Where is Vinicent? What are you doing?"

At the entrance to the second-floor basement of the mansion, Jonathan, Thorin, and Horace looked into the empty basement with pale faces, their voices like a volcano erupting as they hissed angrily, "I asked you to keep an eye on Vinicent! Where is he now? How did you do your job?"

'Idiots! All fucking idiots!"

The four bodyguards of the Walbeer family dropped to their knees, their faces filled with indescribable shame.

Impossible! They had done their duty and watched Vinicent's every move, but Vinicent managed to take advantage of the situation!

"We're sorry, Mister and Young Master!"

One of the head bodyguards bowed his head deeply, lifting his hand to lift a piece of hair at the back of his head, revealing a bruise on the back of his head, his voice full of self-reproach, "All four of us were divided into two shifts, guarding Vinicent twenty-four hours a day. I didn't expect...

"Unexpectedly, just half an hour ago, all of us suffered a sneak attack. We were knocked out before we could see the shadow of the other party.

"By the time we woke up and just about to notify the young master, the master and young master just happened to arrive, and then...

Then, Thorin and Jonathan burst into a rage because there was no sight of Vinicent in the basement.

'Mister!"

Jonathan's face was bloodless. He turned his head to look at Thorin as he shakily said, "Vinicent must have been rescued. How can we explain this to Temple Master Kane? How can we explain the matter to him?"

How else? The only way was to tell the truth.

"We can only blame our Walbeer family's bad fate."

Thorin seemed to have aged a dozen years. The radiant glow when he just got off the helicopter had disappeared, replaced by a disheveled look. "Go to the surveillance room and find who could have rescued Vinicent, and then call Mister Kane to report what happened truthfully. Have Mister Kane decide the next step.

*Remember, we must inform Mister Kane of everything that has happened since Vinicent's arrest. Don't leave out any details!"

That seemed to be the only way.

Jonathan gritted his teeth, shook his head helplessly, and walked with the crowd to the surveillance room.

He played the CCTV footage, then he slowly pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialed Alexander's number, his voice vaguely shaking.

"Mister Kane, the Walbeer family has committed a most solemn offense. Vinicent has escaped."

Escaped?

Meanwhile, in the ninth mining area of the Wafford Mining Corporation.

Alexander drove a bulletproof Mercedes Benz S600 out of the entrance of the mining area. His fingers flew into the central control screen and operated it quickly, following the map navigation as he drove toward Sullivan

Town. He asked, "Was he rescued by someone?"NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

In the surveillance room of the suburban mansion, Jonathan was about to open his mouth when he stiffened again.

Alexander had guessed the truth before the Walbeer family could fill in any details. He was indeed worthy of being the legendary Temple Lord. They could not hide anything from him.

"That's right!"

Jonathan held his phone, his face full of guilt. "The bodyguard was knocked out by a sneak attack. I'm checking the surveillance video from half an hour ago, and so far, nothing has been found. It's like..."

It was then he stopped, staring at the surveillance screen, fixated.

The video displayed what was happening in the mansion. Two dark silhouettes flashed past the camera like ghosts walking at night, their feet landing noiselessly. They easily bypassed the surveillance's scanning rays, knocking out all four of the Walbeer family's bodyguards, and then leaving with Vinicent.

The whole process took less than half a minute as if no one had entered the building. Not even the alarms were triggered.

"Their skills... How terrifying."

Jonathan gripped the phone tightly, his voice shaking violently. "Mister Kane, I saw it! Two people brought Vinicent out, but the camera couldn't catch their faces. They were fast, very fast!"

Even the camera could not catch them? Their strength must be at least at the Grandmaster level.

"Got it."

Alexander drove with one hand and adjusted the gear with his right hand. The speed of the Mercedes sedan was fast as it sped to Sullivan Town. Alexander's expression did not change in the slightest as he continued, "You confiscated Vinicent's phone, didn't you? Does he have any other electronic products with him?"

Electronic products?

Jonathan was slightly stunned before he replied, "Yes, he has!

"I had the bodyguard confiscate his phone and put it in the safe, then I bought him a large screen phone which I didn't install a phone card or connect to the mansion's Wi-Fi. The new phone had several hundreds of grade-G videos for him to relieve his boredom in the basement.

"When I checked the basement earlier, I didn't see that phone. Vinicent must've taken it."

Alexander was impressed by the thoughtfulness. "It's good that he has a phone," he said.

Alexander's tone was slightly relieved, the corner of his mouth slowly curled up. "Jonathan, find the purchase record of that new phone and find out the phone's identification code.

*Regardless of whether there was a phone card or not, and regardless of whether the phone is connected to the internet or not, as long as there is an identification code, I can locate Vinicent."
