+15 BONUS
Bob received the news of Zoey’s capture and immediately headed for Dragon’s Hill with his
men.
He also reported to Taylor right away.
All of Tigra’s special forces, along with Henry, were making their way to Dragon’s Hill.
It would not be a peaceful night in Dragon’s Hill tonight.
Zoey was understandably frightened, thinking that she was brought to the middle of nowhere when she arrived at the base of Dragon’s Hill.
Although she had remained relatively safe in the hands of the special forces, her anxiety only grew the farther she was being brought away from Southlake City.
“What do you guys want from me exactly?” asked the frightened Zoey.
One of the men replied, “Shut up. You’ll know soon enough.”
The car soon arrived at the top of Dragon’s Hill.
Zoey was spooked by the complete darkness surrounding her.
Many more cars showed up and parked nearby right after the car she was in had stopped.
Hundreds of men soon came out of the cars and surrounded the place, which frightened Zoey
even more.
Taylor walked up to the frightened Zoey with a smile and explained, “Relax, Ms. Yanez. We won’t hurt you as long as you listen to us.”
She nodded her head obediently as she didn’t dare to resist considering she was all alone.
Some of the soldiers were stationed outside while the rest entered the tunnels.
Zoey was brought into the tunnels and soon came across three corpses that were revealed by a flashlight.
She screamed her lungs out at the sight. Although she was no stranger to seeing corpses, the three mangled bodies before her were too gruesome.
Taylor spoke up with a sly smile, “Ms. Yanez, I’d like to borrow your phone to give your friend, Willow, a call.”
He then ordered his men to bring him her phone.
Zoey began to wonder if they knew about the fact that Willow was the boss of a huge corporation and simply wanted to ask for ransom money.

Meanwhile, back at Riverside Villa, Willow was sitting on the sofa and watching the television when she received a call from Zoey’s number.
“Zoey? What’s up? Why are you calling me so late into the night?” asked Willow.
A stranger’s voice replied, “Mrs. Stewart, we have your friend Zoey in our hands. You’d better listen to us if you don’t want her to get hurt.”
Willow was shocked, but she quickly composed herself after realizing that Zoey was kidnapped.
She quickly replied, “I can pay you as much as you’d like, just don’t hurt Zoey.”
She
just wanted to calm down the kidnappers for now.
“We aren’t interested in your money. What we need is your grandfather’s records. Bring them along and come to Dragon’s Hill. We have a puzzle for you to solve.”
She was surprised once more. “A puzzle to solve?”
Willow recalled the conversation she had with Caspian about it.
She realized that perhaps the caller was a Tigran soldier.
“That’s right, Mrs. Stewart. We know that your grandfather was knowledgeable about this. We’d love to have your help in solving this mystery.”
Willow concluded that the Tigran soldiers kidnapped Zoey in order to threaten her to help them with the puzzle.
She never expected her enemies to be so despicable as to threaten her with her best friend’s
safety.
The caller demanded, “Make your way to Dragon’s Hill. Or else, you won’t see your friend ever again!”
“Don’t hurt her, please! I’ll come right away!” answered Willow.
She wasn’t confident about solving the puzzle at all, but she still decided to show up at Dragon’s Hill in order to ascertain Zoey’s wellbeing.
2/4
She needed to reach Dragon’s Hill as soon as possible to deal with the emergency-
