Chapter 248 Willow Kidnapped
At first, Caspian thought Willow had simply drunk too much and gone to the restroom.
After waiting for over ten minutes, he couldn’t see any sign of her, nor could he reach her phone.
He began to grow anxious.
He and Xandros had been standing outside the hall, and nobody had come out.
Suddenly, Caspian noticed some clues.
A few muddy footprints were on the ground.
These footprints extended toward the wall of the hall.
A sense of foreboding dawned upon him!
He immediately sobered up and called Sylvia.
“Sylvia, Willow is missing. Send people to trace her immediately and report any findings to me at once!”
“Yes!”
Sylvia didn’t dare to wait for another second.
She mobilized all the resources she had in Southlake City to search for Willow.
Caspian followed the clues and slowly tracked it from the Stewart family manor. The footprints were fresh, which indicated the person hadn’t gone far!
He found similar footprints outside of the manor and managed to trace them to a stream nearby. There was a path that seemed like a shortcut into the Stewart family manor.
It seemed the kidnapper had planned this.
And that person was skilled in martial arts.
Despite his search, Caspian lost track of the clues.
Just then, Sylvia called.
“Caspian! I’ve found some clues. The person who kidnapped Willow is likely The Reaper Sylvia spoke over the phone.
At her words, Caspian was filled with anger.
How could it be The Reaper?
Hadn’t he run away from Southlake City and vanished from sight?
“Caspian, after Leonardo died, The Reaper joined the Mahayan Pavilion.

“However, now that Mahayan Pavilion has been destroyed, his revenge plan has failed.
“A few days ago, he secretly returned to Southlake City. He was also spotted at the Riverside Villa…
“Lord Caspian, this is my fault! I didn’t discover The Reaper’s whereabouts in time, resulted in Willow getting kidnapped!”
Sylvia immediately changed her tone as she realized the severity of the situation.

She was responsible for Caspian’s safety, yet she didn’t notice The Reaper was spying on him. Hence, this was her mistake.
However, Caspian wasn’t as worried anymore upon hearing the news.
He knew that The Reaper’s target was definitely not Willow–it was him!
As long as she wasn’t in mortal danger, he was fine.
“Enough. No need for further words. Find out where The Reaper is now! It’s not entirely your fault!” Caspian said.
Caspian initially thought The Reaper was powerless. Hence, he didn’t care that he had escaped back then.
Even after learning that The Reaper joined the Mahayan Pavilion, he hadn’t been concerned as he didn’t think that The Reaper could cause much trouble.
But now, Caspian realized that The Reaper was cunning and that he was planning and waiting patiently to get his revenge.
