Chapter 1129
Jared Johnston was still in the living room, out of sight and out of mind, when his phone rang.
Then, he picked his phone up and strode over to the other side of the room to answer the call.
"Mr.Johnston, we have captured them all."
"Okay, I'll come over right away."
After hanging up, Jared approached Nicole and said, "I have something I need to take care of, so I'll be heading off now."
Nicole turned to look at him, but maintained her silence anyway.
Seeing that, Jared turned to Mrs. Wallace Sr.again.
"Grandma, I'll be leaving first. I'll pay you a visit some other day."
Mys. Wallace Sr.nodded and said, "Okay, be careful when you're driving."
"Will do."
Jared took another look at Nicole before leaving, and as she saw him hurrying off into the car, she was taken aback.
'Why did he leave in such a hurry?" she thought.
'Did something major happen? 'Wait, what am I doing? Why should I worry about him?' Nicole then shook her head and continued watching TV.
Jared entered the hallway of the hotel as Claus approached him.
"Mr.Johnston, everyone we've captured are in these rooms."
"Has he started talking?" Jared asked Claus.
"He squealed, but the doctor said that the clues are pointing to the man with a pentagram tattoo."
"Bring the doctor and Conrad to the room of the guy with the pentagram tattoo.I'd like to interrogate them together." Jared said, and marched into the room where Henry's henchman was held hostage.
With the door pushed open, Jared saw that the man with the tattoo was tied to a chair with his head covered in a sack.
Upon hearing the creaking of the door, he bellowed, "Who are you? How dare you kidnap me?"
Jared looked at him and there it was; the pentagram tattoo on his hand, matching with the height as he was described.
At present, Jared could not see his face.
Then, he sat on a chair beside the man, maintaining his silence.
After a while, Claus brought the sham doctor along with Conrad into the room, where they both saw the Henry's henchman.
The both of them were startled, as if they were deer caught in the headlights.
When Conrad saw Jared's face, his legs buckled, and he collapsed.
With Jared shooting Claus a glance, Claus turned to both Conrad and the sham doctor, and said, "Step forward and have a look. Is this the person you were talking about?"
The sham doctor did as he was asked, and scrutinized the man with the tattoo.
When he saw the pentagram tattoo on his arm, his eyes widened, and he looked back at Claus.
"Who are you?!"
Henry's henchman bellowed, still struggling in a chair.
Claus waved his hand, signaling that he could come back later, after which he ordered Conrad to step forward and identify the man, which he did.
Now trembling, Conrad looked at Claus and nodded.
"Bring them out,"
Claus instructed the bodyguards beside him.
After the sham doctor and Conrad had identified the man, they were escorted out
of the room, leaving Jared, Claus, and a few other bodyguards with the perpetrators.
Claus stepped forward and removed the blindfold from the tattooed henchman.
The dazzling light made it hard for him to open his eyes.
"Mr.Johnston?!"
The pentagram tattooed guy looked at Jared in fear, trembling as his will to resist dissipated.
