Tobias received the text message half an hour ago.
He'd sent someone to Natalie's apartment, and he'd called Natalie's phone. He was now almost sure that the message was real.
However, who had kidnapped Natalie?
Tobias was confused.
After a while, Benjamin came in and gave him a picture.
"Mr. Whitlock, we've found it. There's a ship docked by the shore five kilometers away from here, and its location is extremely hidden. It's incredibly hard to notice, and..." Benjamin paused for a moment and then asked, "Mr. Whitlock, should we call the police?"
"Call the police?" Tobias narrowed his eyes.
"That's right," Benjamin said. "Our radar detected that there are explosives all over the ship."
Tobias' heart jolted.
Hidden explosives... "Don't call the police," Tobias immediately said. "Don't take any action."
In such a short moment, Tobias had quickly analyzed the situation. No matter how fast they acted, they'd never be faster than the other party.
Since the explosives were already planted on the ship, whoever who had Natalie could turn her to ashes in an instant.
So, this time, he had no choice but to follow their requests.
"Get the car ready," Tobias said in a low voice. "I want to go in person. I want to get on the ship."
Benjamin's eyes widened in shock.
"Mr. Whitlock."
"Hurry up!"
Benjamin was taken back for a moment, but he said firmly, "Mr. Whitlock, you can't go."
"Do you want to lose your job?" Tobias glared at Benjamin.
Benjamin did not waver at all. "Mr. Whitlock, you can't go."
Usually, when Tobias threatened Benjamin with this, he would concede.
But this time was different.
This time, the radar had clearly detected that were explosives all over the ship. Anybody who had a brain knew that it was extremely dangerous to set foot on that ship.
Although Benjamin didn't know what exactly had happened, judging from the fact that Tobias had suddenly solemnly instructed him to investigate the matter, he knew it wasn't something good. Moreover, the cruise ship was anchored in such a hidden location and was filled with explosives.
"I'll get the secretary to take care of it." Tobias did not have much time left to spare.
Benjamin gritted his teeth. "I'll take care of it, Mr. Whitlock."
He quickly left the president's office and immediately called Cecilia.
Tobias once again looked at the picture Benjamin gave him.
The ship was marked on it, showing its location, and even the number of explosives that they had discovered.
There was an astonishing amount of explosives, to the extent where not a single living creature within several dozen miles would be able to survive the impact.
All of a sudden, Tobias' heart skipped a beat.
His mind raced, and he figured it out.
This time, the other party had their minds made up. If he went, it was highly likely that he wouldn't make it out alive.

But if he did not go, then Natalie... Tobias frowned.
