“Let's not search anymore then.”
Kallum's words made Norman secretly pleased but also somewhat disdainful. The secret room was previously Harvey's study, a place designed for storing confidential materials. Once the door was sealed, it was almost impossible to find easily. Otherwise, Harvey wouldn't have spent millions to build a secret room in the first place.
Yet, through his sobs, he insisted, “It's true, she was taken away in secret! I swear, I'm not lying to you!”
Kallum stood up abruptly, looking at him with a deathly cold gaze.
“Had I not kept this place under surveillance, hearing you say that would have probably sent me off in a frantic search.”
Norman was taken aback. He hadn't expected Kallum would be this careful.
Irritated, Kallum tugged at his tie. His violet eyes were filled with deep unease. He couldn't wait any longer. If they couldn't find her, there was a simple solution.
“Evacuate everyone and set the place on fire. Burn it down!”
Kallum's command made Norman utterly shocked! Burn it down? Surely, Kallum won't dare to do that. He can't possibly commit arson in someone else's home.
But Kallum's men, except for two who stayed to protect him, all went out. The guests, who had been trapped, seized the opportunity to rush outside, but they couldn't leave because their cars were in the yard! Kallum wouldn't really burn down this five-story mansion, would he? What about our cars?
To quickly meet Kallum's demands, his men gathered the fuel from the cars in the yard, making it easier to set the fire.
This five-story mansion held Harvey's collection of antiques and cultural relics accumulated over many years. It wasn't just a house!
More importantly, what about the people inside if Kallum set the house on fire?
By now, the first floor was gradually catching fire. Norman was frantic, fearing the people in the secret room would be burned alive. He wondered if it was too late to tell Kallum where they were.
Unfortunately, Kallum's aura was too intimidating. Every time Norman wanted to confess, he chickened out. He felt that if he tried to run, Kallum would burn him first! Thinking of his own life and Quincy's threats, he hesitated and ultimately chose to play dead.
“Okay, hiding any longer is pointless... Ninety-Two, are you doing this on purpose? You missed so many shots!” Jason's voice was tinged with annoyance.
