Chapter 354

After an hour’s wait, a taxi finally arrived.

The window rolled down. And as soon as Narcisse saw Jalen, she happily shouted, “Daddy!”

Jalen felt his heart melt and quickly walked over to open the car door.

He scooped Narcisse out of the car, his face full of affection. “My precious daughter, did they bully you?”

Narcisse shook her head and said, “No, Daddy. They treated me very well and even bought me ice cream!”

Jalen looked at the taxi driver and asked, “Where did you pick my daughter up?”

“Network Nexus at Riverwatch District,” the driver replied.

“What did they look like?” Jalen pressed.

“I don’t know. They were wearing masks.” The driver shook his head.

“Alright, I understand. Thank you,” Jalen said, knowing he wouldn’t glean any helpful information from him.

He knew the kidnappers were clever enough not to leave a trace. But he wouldn’t let them get away with

Holding Narcisse in his arms, Jalen returned to the villa and instructed the housekeeper, “Take my daughter for a bath and change her clothes. Her teacher and classmates will be here soon!”

The housekeeper took Narcisse upstairs.

Jalen then called Henry over.

As soon as Henry entered the villa, he excitedly said, “Boss, the person we let go turned out to be Benjamin!”

“Benjamin?” Jalen was puzzled. “Who’s Benjamin?”

Henry sneered, “Prince Heath’s brother!”

Jalen’s eyes narrowed to slits. “So, he’s one of Prince Heath’s men!”

Henry said gravely, “I’ll assemble our men and eliminate him tonight!”

Jalen thought for a moment, then shook his head. “Today is Narcisse’s birthday. Let’s not cause any trouble tonight. We’ll deal with him later.”

Back at the apartment, Carlisle removed his mask and slumped onto the couch with a sigh of relief.

Francis also took off his mask and reminded him, “Jalen won’t let this go easily. He’ll eventually trace it back to you.”

Carlisle shook his head. “Jalen will go after Benjamin first. That’s my main concern right now.”

After saying this, Carlisle suddenly looked up at Francis. “Stick with Benjamin for the next few days and

ensure his safety.”

“What about you?”

“I’ll be safe at school. Don’t worry.” Carlisle planned to stay on campus for a while.

It wouldn’t be easy for Jalen to trace things back to him, but Benjamin had already shown his face to

Jalen’s people. They would soon know all about Benjamin.

With this in mind, Carlisle took out his phone and dialed Benjamin’s number.

Benjamin was tending to his wounds when his phone suddenly vibrated. He picked it up and answered

the call.

“Carlisle…” His speech was slurred due to his injured tongue.

“Liquidate all of Heath’s assets,” Carlisle ordered.

“What?” Benjamin was full of questions, and his emotions surged. “Why, Carlisle?”

These assets were partly bought with Carlisle’s 15 million dollars and partly earned through Heath’s hard work. Selling everything felt like letting Heath’s efforts go to waste.

“Just do as I say. Leave Riverland with Heath tonight.” Carlisle’s voice carried an undeniable authority.

After a brief hesitation, Benjamin reluctantly agreed. “Alright.”

He paused and then asked, “Who should I sell them to?”

A smile played at the corner of Carlisle’s mouth. “Sell them to Titan.”

Benjamin didn’t understand Carlisle’s strategy but reluctantly ended the call.

Valin frowned and asked, “Did Carlisle tell you to sell our assets?”

Benjamin nodded.

Sirius was visibly agitated and exclaimed, “Benjamin, Carlisle doesn’t trust your abilities!”

Seeing a chance to reason, Valin said, ‘Sinus does have a point, though. Carlisle mentioned the alternative medicine to play on your emotions and ensure your loyalty.”

“You want to get hit too?” Benjamin glared at him.

Valin wisely shut his mouth.

Benjamin gradually calmed down and helped Sirius up. He then sat back on the couch and said slowly,” Heath once told me something very wise. Do you want to hear it?”

Valin nodded.

Sirius took out a cigarette with bloodied hands, put it in his mouth, and lit it.

Benjamin continued, “Heath said that Carlisle gave us a future, and we are destined to work for him.”

Valin and Sirius lowered their heads.

Carlisle had indeed given them everything they now had. Their loyalty to him was unquestionable.

It would have been no different if Heath had told them to kidnap Jalen’s daughter. They would have gone

ahead, risking their lives to get the job done.

After all, Heath had provided them with a life of comfort and luxury.

Benjamin went on, “The thing is, when Carlisle asked me to do this, I hesitated. That’s why he had to play

the emotional card. If Heath were here, he would have executed Carlisle’s orders without a second

thought.”

Sirius took a long drag on his cigarette, his emotions in turmoil. “We’ve worked so hard to build this
