[Anthony’s café] The interior of the café was quiet and serene. It was a bit empty, as not many people loved to have their dates in a café, but one could still see a significant amount of people scattered across different tables laughing and discussing in low voices at a single glance. Darius was alone in his table, and a cup of black coffee accompanied him on the table. As Darius was incredibly attractive, both males and females kept stealing glances at him, the men jealous and envious, while the females smitten. Some bold ladies even took pictures of him secretly. Darius of course noticed the stares he was getting, but he didn’t bother about it. Compared to the situation that occurred with the freshmen female students when he arrived in his Bugatti earlier, the current situation wasn’t worth mentioning at all.

I want the tech team of-" Darius started saying, but was rudely interrupted before he could complete his sentence."Who is this?" A man answered lazily. He sounded like he had been taking a nap, and had just been woken by the phone call.Darius frowned at the man's interruption and lazy tone, but answered anyway."This is Darius Reid." Darius answered flatly."Darius Reid?" The man asked mockingly before bursting out into laughter. "If you are Darius Reid, then I am Weiss Mosley!" the man said mockingly. Weiss Mosley was the founder and chairman of the Mosley Financial Group, so it was obvious that the caller didn't believe that he was truly Darius Reid, the well known head of the Reid Consortium."Here I was thinking this was an important call!" The man grumbled angrily and disconnected the phone call.D

Her actions inevitably softened the icy expression he had on his face.The moment Alice sank into his arms, all the fear she felt from the moment of her kidnap to this current moment melted away, and she cried loudly. She had never felt so secured before in her life, and different turbulent emotions rocked her.A dark expression appeared on Michael’s face as he watched Alice throw herself at Darius. He was incredibly furious at the moment.“How did you find us?!” Michael yelled angrily. He had spent a lot of money to build this cabin in the middle of the forest, so that he wouldn’t be easily discovered by the police or private detectives. However, it had been less than 12 hours since his subordinates kidnap

Outside the cabin, more than six police helicopters shone their bright lights on the cabin, and more than sixteen police vehicles surrounded the cabin.The policemen all alighted the vehicles fully armed with weapons and trained them on the cabin and were ready to shoot at a moment’s notice.“This is the police! Keep your hands in the air and exit the cabin obediently; otherwise we will be obligated to use forceful means.” A police officer who seemed to be in charge of the rescue operation said loudly.Michael, who maintained his composure during the duration of Darius’ fight with the kidnappers could not maintain his composure when faced with such an extravagant line up of policemen.“What are they doing here?!” Michael yelled loudly, his face paling in horror.

Beads of sweat drooped down Darius’ face when faced with the menacing pistol in Michael’s hand. The safety of the pistol was off, and the moment Michael pulled the trigger, a bullet would be embedded in Darius’ heart. Darius felt genuine fear when faced with the gun trained on his heart. He wasn’t a fool, so he knew that with the amount of training he had now, there was no absolutely no way he could dodge a bullet. The instant Michael shot him, Darius would be a goner. Alice’s eyes widened in shock and horror the second she saw the menacing pistol in Michael’s hands; and her heart started pounding rapidly. Her blood immediately ran cold, and she had never felt so much fear in her life before. “Wait!” Darius bellowed loudly just as Michael was about to pull the trigger. Michael paused and looked at Darius with a sinister gaze; while the police officers outside the cabin moved closer to the cabin the moment they saw a firearm in Michael’s hands. “Do you have any last words?” Michael

“What do you mean by you lost him?!” The chief police officer in charge of the kidnapping case yelled into the walkie-talkie.The police officer with the walkie-talkie grimaced at his superior’s harsh tone. He knew that they would be receiving an earful the moment he returned from the search.“It’s exactly what I said chief. There’s no track anymore. We can’t find him at all. It’s almost as if he just disappeared from the forest.” The police officer replied bitterly.“And you want me to believe that?!” The chief police officer yelled angrily.“Chief-”“Never mind.
