Chapter 515 Royce sighed. âI had someone to look into it, and the thread led us to Cloudia Paragon.
However, we didn't know where they were holding Livia hostage, so we didnât dare do anything
rash.â
"What did they ask for after they took Ms. Shore away?â
âThey wanted money. They asked me to transfer money into an overseas account. They told me that
nothing would happen to Livia as long as I did what they said.â
Philip chimed in exasperatedly, âThey're the worst. I will definitely get to the bottom of this! No
matter who they are, I won't forgive them for abducting Livia!"
âI looked into the overseas account as well, but I've found nothing. I was afraid that something
would happen to Livia, so I did what they told me to.â
Kayson did not make any comments. After all, he wasn't sure if Mr. Denn had been behind the
abduction or not.
Master Oczen did not know anything either. They had only told him that someone had sent Livia
over to them.
âI'm sure they already know that I rescued Ms. Shore. Therefore, you need to be extra careful not to
let them get Ms. Shore again.â
Royce said in a serious voice, âKayson, I have a favor to
ask.â
âShoot, Uncle Royce,â Kayson replied. âI heard from Captain Murphy that you're the one who
defeated all the powerful fighters in Cloudia Paragon ?" Royce asked.
Kayson nodded. An excited expression crept on Royce's face as he said, â I'm fully aware of how
powerful Cloudia Paragon is. If you can crush them, that means that you're stronger than them.
âTherefore, I hope you can protect Livia. I can pay you as much as you want!â
Kayson, who was stunned, rejected the offer. âI don't have the time to go to Skyspring.â Royce
added hastily, âYou donât have to go to Skyspring. Let Livia follow you around instead!â
He was worried that Kayson would reject his request.
Kayson frowned. Philip was not in any position to persuade Kayson, so he just sat silently aside.
Royce gave him a bitter smile and said, âKayson, I hired grandmaster â level fighters to protect Livia,
yet she was still abducted.â
Kayson let out a sigh inwardly after he heard what Roy said. It was only now that he realized why
Royce would
suddenly treat him so well.
It seemed to him that he would be the bad guy if he continued to reject the task.
âI can do that, but I have one rule. Ms. Shore has to obey all my orders and arrangements without
question.â
He was worried about ladies who had grown up in prestigious families the most. All of them were
arrogant and they did not like other people to order them around.
Royce nodded and said, âOf course! She'll do everything you say, Mr. Yarde!â
Livia chimed in and said softly, âYou can call me Livia. Calling me âMs. Shoreâ makes me feel
uncomfortable.â
Kayson glanced at the pretty lady and nodded.
Royce was beyond delighted and he urged the restaurant to serve the dishes at once.
They chatted as they had their meal, and Kayson finally understood what this rich man had been
doing.
He was involved in both the real economy and the internet industry. Even though information
technology was developing rapidly in this era, he had not given up his foray into various industries.
The internet industry was both highly profitable and risky. One might get rich overnight and
become poor the next day.
As for the real economy, he had invested a lot of money in various industries, such as the real estate
industry, home renovation, water and electrical power, living goods, and so on.
Since Kayson was going to establish a new corporation, he had learned quite a lot from Royce.
It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon when they finished their meal. Royce liked Kayson even more, but
Livia did not talk much. Most of the time, she just sat aside and listened to their conversation.
Royce was going to return to Skyspring after the meal. If he hadn't wanted to thank Kayson in
person, he wouldn't have come at all.
Before they parted ways, Royce said, âKayson, you need to find some time to visit Skyspring.â
Alter saying that, Royce drove away in his car, leaving Livia to Kayson.
