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 backyard. 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. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
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 here, 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?
