The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1900

The burly man shook his head and looked at Wolf. "What did you just do?"

Wolf spread his hands. "Oh, my. Why are you so stupid? You went flying by yourself, yet you're asking me what I just did."

Hearing that, the burly man exclaimed furiously, "All of you, get him! This brat's evil!"

The others didn't waste any time and charged toward Wolf simultaneously. They surrounded Wolf, not giving him a chance to escape.

As for Antoine, the group wasn't concerned about him at all. Since he was just an old man, there was no way he could make a run for it. They could take him down at any time.

Wolf scowled at the group surrounding him. "Well? Why aren't you guys attacking yet? I still have something to do later, so don't waste my time."

The burly man yelled from behind, "This brat sure is arrogant! Beat him up!"

As soon as the burly man spoke, the men surrounding Wolf swung their fists toward him. Upon noticing that, Wolf instantly crouched down, and his attackers hit nothing but air.

In that split second, Wolf swept his right leg out and struck their legs at lightning speed. Everyone felt the strength of Wolf's kick.

Some held their left legs, while others held their right. They were in immense pain.

Not everyone could withstand the strength of Wolf's kicks. In the best-case scenario, one would be in horrible pain. At worst, one would be lying in the hospital with broken bones.

The burly man, who had given orders earlier, had watched the entire scene unfold. He muttered to himself, "Before coming over, no one told me that this old man has such a tough fighter by his side. All my men have been taken down."

Wolf remarked slowly, "They're not even worth fighting."

Once the others had recovered from their pain, they staggered toward the burly man. "Sir, something's off about this brat. His strength was insane. It was as if he struck us with steel."

At the moment, the Public Integrity Department got wind of the incident and sent a few men over to scout the situation.

Upon noticing that, the burly man rushed everyone into their cars. They would be in trouble if they got caught. But Bobby and Ricky, held back by Deven, couldn't escape in time.

By the time the officials from the Public Integrity Department had arrived, the cars were already gone. Only Antoine, Wolf, and several others remained behind.

"What happened just now?" one of the officials from the Public Integrity Department asked.

Antoine replied in a low voice, "Someone wanted to stop me from lodging a report at the Public Integrity Department. They tried to block me from leaving this place."

Upon hearing Antoine's story, the other party grew more serious. "Come with us first. You'll be fine once we're at the Public Integrity Department."

With that, several people surrounded Antoine immediately to prevent the same situation from happening again. They refused to give others a chance to attack him.

After some time, they arrived at the Public Integrity Bureau's entrance. Antoine looked up and saw "Public Integrity Bureau" on the signboard before following them inside.

Many always wanted to make a report at the Public Integrity Department, but very few actually got to do it. In the end, they were either bribed or intimidated.

Antoine was led to a room, and an official poured some tea for him before leaving. After some time, a middle-aged man, Laxus Callen, entered the room.

"Hello. I'm the Public Integrity Department's director. I heard you wish to report Mr. Curtis Lottway, the deputy director."

Antoine nodded. "Yes. It's about the gas poisoning case. It wasn't an accident, but foul play. The mastermind behind it is Curtis Lottway."

Laxus frowned. "Foul play? Do you have proof?"

Antoine took out a flash drive Wolf had given him from his pocket before plugging it into a nearby computer. He double-clicked the file, and a video started playing.

"Curtis! That bastard!"

Antoine sipped his tea. "Great minds think alike. Who knows how Curtis became deputy mayor? He didn't even start off as a civil servant. I suggest you look into his background and his father-in-law."

Upon hearing that, Laxus' gaze darkened. "Curtis' father-in-law? Do you mean Barnaby Wildingham, the deputy director of the Havenia Office of National Intelligence?"

Antoine merely nodded. "I trust that the Public Integrity Department won't be easily swayed by major figures and will seek justice for the people."

The person tapped his fingers on the table. "Okay. I'll report to my superiors. Not everyone is able to investigate the deputy director of the Havenia Office of National Intelligence."

Antoine looked at him. "Alright. I've left a copy of the footage for you. I'll be taking the flash drive with me."

The man stood up and looked at Antoine. "Don't you trust the Public Integrity Department?"

Antoine shook his head. "It's not that I don't trust you—I'm just covering all bases. If I need to go to court, I'll bring the flash drive along."

With that, Antoine took the flash drive and left the room. After what happened to Ronald, Antoine had no choice but to be on his guard. He didn't want to fall into someone else's trap again.

Meanwhile, Wolf was sitting outside the room, happily enjoying some snacks and watching a show on Deven's phone. He looked completely carefree as he fully immersed himself in the cartoon.

When Antoine noticed Wolf as he came out, he grinned at the sight of Wolf's expression. Wolf was completely different from before when he had given those men a good beating.

Antoine stroked Wolf's cheeks. "Come along, Wolf."

In response, Wolf nodded before handing the phone back to Deven. He carried snacks in his arms as he trailed after Antoine.

The car was parked outside the entrance. Deven opened the car door, and Antoine and Wolf got into the vehicle.

Once Deven was in the car, Antoine said, "Take the main road. They're probably aware that we've already made it into the Public Integrity Bureau, so they won't risk making a move on us."

If they attacked Antoine after he had already entered the Public Integrity Bureau, that definitely proved they were guilty. An attack on him would lead to the department questioning them.

Deven nodded. "Got it, Mr. Chamberlain."

…

At that moment, Laxus scowled as he watched Antoine leave. Before the latter arrived, the former had received news of their impending arrival. Hence, he personally came to greet Antoine.

At that moment, Laxus' phone rang. He gazed at the caller ID before answering the call.

"How did it go?" the other person asked first.

Laxus answered in a low voice, "I couldn't tamper with the evidence. He didn't give me the flash drive."

The other person went silent for a moment before saying, "You know how many people will get taken down once they start an investigation on me."

Laxus furrowed his brows. "I know, but there's nothing I can do. Everyone's watching me closely because of my position."

The other person became frustrated. "Let me ask you—how long can you delay this?"

Laxus thought about it. "At most two days. Once my superior returns, I must report the situation."

The other person continued, "Two days is enough. I'll get rid of that old geezer within the next two days. By then, there will be no need for you to lodge a report."

Laxus hummed in response. "Yes, so you must get it done as soon as possible."

"Okay, got it. Just do your part." After that, the other party ended the call.

Laxus held his phone with a darkened expression. The one who made the call was none other than Barnaby.

Back then, Laxus was just a nobody when Barnaby promoted him. Later, when the Public Integrity Department was formed, Barnaby transferred him over, giving him a chance to become a director.

…

After ending the call, Wynter stopped smiling. It seemed the reason why Wolf hadn't let his presence be known was because of the old cultivator.

After sexual intercourse, the old cultivator's power would have increased dramatically as well. Wynter had to find Wolf as soon as possible.

Of course, she wasn't worried that he might be in trouble. Anyone who wanted to attack Wolf probably wouldn't even have the chance to strike him.

Wynter was mainly worried that Wolf would be starving in Havenia. He wasn't familiar with that place, and so many days had passed since she last heard from him.

…

At the moment, Wolf was enjoying some fried chicken and hamburgers. Taking a bite of the drumsticks had left some oily stains around his mouth.

Next to him, Antoine handed him some tissue to wipe his mouth.

Wolf chuckled before continuing to eat. After beating up those people, he was deprived of almost all his energy. Since he was still growing, he had to eat something to replenish his energy.

Just then, Antoine's phone rang. He checked the caller ID and realized it was a call from Celestine. Feeling curious, he answered the call.

Celestine's voice drifted through the phone. "Mr. Chamberlain, are you free tonight? My family is hosting a banquet."

Antoine smiled. "Mrs. Maynerd, I would never reject your invitation. But I've been rather busy for the past few days. If I'm free tonight, I'll drop by."

Celestine wasn't upset. After all, she respected Antoine. "Of course. I'll send you the address soon."

Antoine said with an apologetic smile, "Thank you, Mrs. Maynerd, for being so understanding."

After some small talk, they ended the call. Antoine could tell from Celestine's voice how delighted she was. The cultivator must have healed her child, so she decided to throw a banquet to celebrate.

Wolf yawned before patting his stomach. "Alright, I'm almost full!"

Antoine laughed before saying, "If it's not enough, you should eat more."

But Wolf shook his head. "I can't. My boss said I shouldn't eat too much. Otherwise, I'll get indigestion."

Antoine smiled. "Okay. Let's head home."

Wolf nodded. He and Antoine got up to leave the restaurant. By then, Deven had already brought the car around to the entrance. Once they were in the car, Deven headed for Antoine's home.

Since they had taken the main road, they arrived home very quickly. As soon as Antoine got out of the car, he noticed the security guard at the door was gone, and his heart started racing.

Antoine gazed at Deven and said, "Be careful. Something might have happened."

Hearing that, Deven understood immediately. He drew his hand close to his waist so he could react accordingly if anything suddenly happened. He walked ahead while Antoine and Wolf followed behind.

As soon as Deven entered the house, he saw two people lying on the ground. He rushed over and placed his finger under their nostrils before turning to Antoine. "They're still breathing and are just knocked out."

Antoine nodded before walking further into the house. There, he found Alanis tied to a pillar nearby, and a rag had been stuffed into her mouth.

Antoine hurried over. Once he had taken the rag out from her mouth, Alanis said quickly, "Bad news, Mr. Chamberlain. Earlier, a group of people barged into the house and took Ms. Chamberlain with them."

Antoine's brows furrowed. Initially, he thought he could draw their attention to himself. He never expected Curtis and the others would stoop so low to kidnap Ingrid.

At that moment, Antoine's phone rang. It was a call from an unknown number. As soon as he answered the call, someone spoke on the phone.

"You forced me to do this. Now, you only have one choice. If you deliver Lorcan and that flash drive to me, your daughter will return to you safe and sound. Otherwise, don't even think about seeing her ever again."

The person on the phone was none other than Curtis.
