At that moment, Sonia was overwhelmed by despair and pessimism. Deep down, she wished there was someone who could save her right away, no matter who it was.
However, she quickly understood that it was just her wishful thinking, but when she closed her eyes hopelessly, a person’s silhouette flashed across her mind so fast that she wasn’t able to see who it was. Nevertheless, she hoped that someone could come to her rescue and get her out of the sticky situation.
In the meantime, the kidnapper with the mobile phone came to Declan and said, “Young Master Declan, here is the location of Misty Mountain.”
Declan took a quick glimpse at the phone and showed his acknowledgment. Soon, another guy approached him with a serious look on his face. “Young Master Declan, the road traffic department in Fredburg is now searching for our whereabouts through the security
cameras on every street.
“What?” Declan’s face darkened. “What’s going on? Is that Lucius’ doing?”
“No, Lucius is not so powerful that the road traffic department has to go through every security footage in the city just to help him look for us. In fact, it’s the Fuller Group’s president, Toby Fuller, who is onto us.”
“That guy?” Declan frowned. Knowing Toby as the Fuller Family’s patriarch and the Fuller Group’s president, he deemed him as powerful as his own father, Robert. Thus, he understood why Toby was able to get help from the national road traffic department to extract the security footage from every corner of the city. However, something seemingly crossed Declan’s mind as his eyes darkened. “Are you sure Toby is onto us?”
“I’m absolutely sure because our men in Fredburg have news for us that Toby has been digging around for the van in which Sonia was taken.” The man nodded affirmatively.
Declan gritted his teeth, radiating a stern aura. “Why is he looking for our van?”
Is Sonia related to Toby by any chance?
Declan’s suspicion was quickly confirmed when the man added, “Well, Sonia is Toby’s ex-wife, whom he cares a lot about. So, now that Sonia has been captured by us, he is definitely on the move to look for her.”
“What?” Declan’s face changed. “They used to be married? How come you didn’t know this when you did your digging about Sonia?”
If they had known that Sonia was someone important to the Toby Fuller, Declan wouldn’t have allowed his men to execute the plan. After all, Toby was a powerful and influential man whom he could barely match. Moreover, he had limited manpower, considering the fact that he was in Seafield City at that moment. Thus, he was well aware of the odds between him and Toby if they were to take on each other.
Toby is known to be vengeful, so if he comes after me, I’m going to be as good as dead.
“Damn it!” Declan bellowed in anger.
The man looked down and apologized. “I’m sorry, Young Master Declan. It’s our fault for overlooking this matter. We did as you said and only focused on learning Lucius’ relationship with Sonia, so we neglected her relationship with the others. That’s why...” He swallowed his words, pausing mid-sentence.
