Who are they? Are they powerful? Why did they arrive here at the same time? How can they accurately find the injured Elliot?
âElliot, how could you let this nobody corner you?â Arthur asked as he stared at Aliona.
Under the gaze of the men, she suddenly felt that she was as insignificant as the blade of grass under their feet. Her plan failed, and what awaited her would be a miserable ending.
âArrest the group. Iâll deal with it later,â Elliot said in a deep voice.
Back in the home country, Anastasia sat before her sonâs bed with red eyes while waiting for the news that Elliot was safe.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang. Although there was an unknown number on the screen, she was still excited and quickly picked it up. âHello?â
âItâs me. Iâm on my way home, and Iâll be there in seven hours.â A deep, familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
She finally burst into tears after hours of worrying. She covered her mouth and walked to the balcony.
âOkay, come back soon!â
âHow is Jared doing?â
âHeâs still sleeping.â
âYou havenât slept all night?â Elliot asked as he heard her hoarse voice.
âItâs okay. I can handle it.â
âYou must get some sleep while Iâm coming back,â the man ordered in a stern voice.
âOkay, Iâll do that,â Anastasia agreed willingly.
âSee you back home.â With that, Elliot hung up.
Anastasia held her phone and sighed with relief. She relaxed and sat on the balcony sofa, thereafter closing her eyes. Although only a day had passed, it seemed like a century for her.

Rileyâs release procedure had just been completed in the police station. He then cracked and loosened his muscles. He had been detained in the station for a long time, and he missed the outside world. His goddaughter finally bailed him out.
Even though I donât think her plan is good.
âMr. Presgrave, you can leave after you sign this document.â The police officer came over with a release note for him to sign.
Riley took the pen the police handed over. Before he could sign the paper, someone stopped him by pulling his arm away.
He turned to look at the police officer and asked, âWhat are you doing?â
