Instead of waiting for Kane to come around, lan pulled Vivian's hand and ran off.They did not know where they had to go to seek help, but all they knew was they had to do something to find their Mommy and save Matteo.
After a while, Kane finally came back to his senses and ran over to the two children.
"Hey! Where do you think you're going?"
"Let us go! We want to go save Mommy!" lan bellowed in uncontrollable rage.
He glared at Kane with his eyes full of hatred as he pushed his hand away forcefully.
It did not take long before lan realized his blunder.
He had shouted "Mommy" twice when he was lashing out at Kane.
To lan's surprise, instead of interrogating him, Kane seemed unusually calm.
He looked at the two kids for a few seconds and dragged them into the car.
"Stay inside!"
Speaking, he slammed the door behind them and went to the driver's seat before the car zoomed off.
Within a few minutes, the black Maybach was already out of Old Town when Kylo called.
"Mr.Ronin, I've got their whereabouts.They are in an abandoned vessel by the pier.We've already sent some helicopters and snipers over."
"Got it."
Kane hung up after receiving news from Kylo.
He straightened his back and stepped hard on the pedal as the car sped down the street.
Although he was caught in a tense situation, his face did not betray any emotions.
Kane drove on steadily, just as he would any other day when he was going to work.
Despite his cool, it was obvious that he took this incident seriously.
After all, he had sent out helicopters and a few snipers.
This itself was enough to illustrate how severe the situation was.
A glimmer of zest broke out on the abductor's face when his phone rang - he had been waiting anxiously for Kane's call for the past fifteen minutes.
"Mr.Ronin, have you made up your mind?"
"Where's the kid?"
Kane ignored his question and interrogated the man about the child instead.
"How do you know he's not dead?"
The man asked after a slight pause.An apathetic chuckle came from Kane's side.
"I figured you won't kill the child, ‘cause it's money you want.
Besides, it's not like you have the guts to kill my son.You can't afford to."
Kane's threats rendered the man speechless.What Kane said was true, so the kidnapper had nothing to say in retaliation.
"Well, yes, the child is still alive.I hope you've got the money ready."
"I have the one billion you want, but you'll have to prove to me that the child is still alive," Kane negotiated calmly but firmly.
