With Nathan by his side, Baccio stormed into Villa Number Seven with his men.
However, the place was completely empty.
Baccio looked a bit upset. He had a hunch that Hepburn must have already left.
While his subordinates were busy searching the villa, he quietly made his way to the dining room. When no one was looking, he discreetly opened the refrigerator.
Lyanna and Hepburn left in a hurry and left several blood packs inside the fridge.
Baccio glanced at the blood pack, then promptly closed the refrigerator. He returned to the living room and sat down on the couch, lost in thought.
At that moment, Nathan, accompanied by Colin, entered the courtyard.
Nathan asked, “Mr. Baccio, have you found Ms. Hepburn?”
Before Baccio could speak, the bishops and Holy Knights, who had been searching the house, were already returning one after another.
Everyone shook their heads at Baccio, indicating that they hadn't found Hepburn.
Baccio stood up and said to Nathan, “I'm sorry. Perhaps my information was incorrect.”
Nathan nodded. “Yes. I can understand how you all feel.”
Nathan and Baccio, each leading their men, left the villa and drove off in their own cars.
Baccio's brows remained knitted as he sat inside the car.
