Tony had never felt so ashamed and humiliated in all his life. As the bodyguard for the leader of XK Intelligence Agency, after he regained consciousness, he found that he had been knocked out and was now tied up at an unknown location by the assailant he had kept a watch on.
"Shit!" he spat and cursed in anger, looking around with his sharp eyes. Although it was very dark in the place, he was being held. He was still able to adapt to the darkness several minutes later. That was because he had been trained in XK Intelligence Agency and had gone through Hell Forest together with Brian several times before.
However, when he adapted to the darkness, he couldn't help but curse the person who had left him in such a situation. The room was empty, and there was nothing inside that he could make any use of.
Tony's eyes turned dark, and he sighed slightly. At the same time, he had to admit that Cora had done a good job. After all, she had also been trained at XK Intelligence Agency, and this was one of the essential things taught in the XK Intelligence Agency. Not to leave anything behind that might aid a person to escape.

At the international airport of A City
With the development of its economy and tourism, A City had already become an international cosmopolis. Whenever you came to the airport, there were "people mountain people sea", as if all the world's population arrived here at the same time.
Evelyn was sitting on a suitcase that was placed on a luggage cart. While pushing the luggage cart, Brian talked to Molly now and then. Molly walked beside them, holding Charlie's hand and seemed to be quite happy, which was evident by the bright smile on her face.
However, her smile froze when she saw Cora.
"It seems that..." Molly said while stopping in her tracks. "Somebody has not given up so easily!"
Brian saw Cora too, and so did Charlie and Evelyn. Immediately, the twins pouted and twisted their eyebrows into a frown, while goosebumps covered their whole bodies. It was as if they were ready to go into battle at any time.
"You deal with her yourself," Molly said. With a slight sigh, she then took over to push the luggage cart. After giving Charlie a hint to sit on another suitcase next to Evelyn, she pushed the luggage cart with the two kids and their luggage away, without paying any attention to Brian.
She wasn't angry, but she felt that Brian should deal with whatever it was head-on since he couldn't avoid it. Since Cora evidently hadn't given up, then Molly knew that Brian and Cora had to deal with the inevitable.
She wasn't the kind of loser who could give away her husband to another woman easily. Perhaps she would even agree to give anything of materialistic value away, but Brian was an exception. He could only belong to her. As a soft-hearted person, she didn't wish harm upon anyone. However, if Molly was pushed, she could be the devil in person if necessary.
When Molly walked out of the terminal with the twins, she didn't see their car waiting as she had expected. On second thought, it was apparent that if Tony were here, he wouldn't have allowed Cora to appear at the airport in the first place. However, she couldn't figure out what could have happened. Tony was capable enough to deal with a woman. Logically, he shouldn't have made such a slip-up.
With these thoughts in her mind, Molly took her cellphone out of her pocket. Since she had just disembarked the airplane, the cellphone was still off and when she realized she let out a heavy sigh. While waiting for the phone to start, both the twins turned their heads to look up at her.
