Chapter 1108
"How was your trip to the hospital?"
"It was alright.The chairman is having a speedy recovery, and I can see that he is feeling much better now," Max reported.
"That's good, but I need you to be vigilant."
"Certainly."
"By the way, have you found Conrad?"
"I'm afraid not," Max said.
"The man I've hired for the job hasn't returned, but I'm pretty sure we'll hear from him soon."
"Give him a call, so that we have an idea of what's going on," Jared ordered.
"Yes, Mr.Johnston."
As soon as Max took his phone out, the person whom he was about to call sent him a text message.
"I had Conrad secured and was about to bring him back to us, but I was assaulted by someone I couldn't recognize.We were both captured and thrown into a warehouse where they sliced my tongue.I was released, but I think they've taken Conrad away by now."
"Do you know where they're taking him? Have you managed to identify them?" Max texted back with his brows furrowed.
"No, they were all wearing masks," the man replied.
"They released me after they've sliced my tongue off, but I think the person who roughed me up had a pentagram tattoo on his arm.The other one looked like a ringleader of some sort.He was wearing a suit and a pair of expensive Leonardo shoes."
"Retrieve your tongue from the warehouse and get it reattached," Max advised.
"Then, go home and recuperate.I'll transfer the money to your bank account in a while."
After replying to that man's text messages, Max turned to face Jared with a solemn look.
