James' face immediately darkened.
He knew something was wrong when he answered the phone.
“Honey, what should we do?” Thea was anxious.
At this moment, James received a video file. He opened the file and began watching it. A number of people appeared in the video.
They were Quincy, Tiara and Cynthia, as well as Lex, Benjamin, and David Callahan, all tied up.
The scene shifted.
An unknown man appeared in the video. He was wearing a black hood and his face was obscured.
“James, if you want them to live, come to Mt. Thunder.”
That was the end of the video.
James clenched his fists. Veins were bulging on his arms.
With a worried expression, Thea firmly grasped James' hand. “Honey…”
James gave a slight wave of his hand and said, “Thea, don’t worry. It should be fine.”
Even though James did not know who had taken them, he had a rough idea of what they were after.
Today, he had made an attack on the Tuckson family. That was the beginning of a major meltdown. A number of people were getting anxious.
The purpose of capturing Quincy, the Callahans, and the others was to lure him away so that he could not deal with the issues in the Capital.
Thea's beautiful face was filled with concern. “Why did they take my grandfather? Why did they take my father and brother? Have they been brought to Mt. Thunder?” she asked.
“What’s the matter?”
At this moment, Maxine walked out. She had just returned to her room and changed her clothes when she felt a rush of powerful energy sweep over her. She did not even have time to change out of her pajamas.
James sat on the sofa, took a cigarette, and lit it.
James had already made up his mind to go to Mt. Thunder.
He could not possibly turn his back on Quincy, Cynthia, and the others.
These people would die if he carried on with his actions.
Maxine gave it a thought and said, “How about this? Tomorrow morning, we'll depart from the Capital together for Mount Thunder.”
“Okay.”
James nodded and said, “Right now, things in the Capital are a little chaotic. People are feeling anxious. Before I leave, I need to give a few instructions.”
“Go on, then. I’m going back to my room to take a shower and sleep.”
Maxine stood up again and turned to leave.
James looked at Thea whose face was filled with anxiety and consoled her. “Thea, don’t worry. It’ll be alright. They just don’t want me to attack these people in the Capital. As long as I don’t take action right now and rush to Mt. Thunder, the Callahans will be alright.”
