The Legendary Man Chapter 380

Dirty Work

“Hmph!” Marcus couldn’t help but snort after hearing what Cedric said, displeased with the latter’s attitude.

Nonetheless, he knew very well that everyone in the Hansley family held resentment toward him.

Everyone in the Hansley family knew that the only reason Marcus became the successor was because of his daughter. Without his daughter, he wouldn’t have the right to take over.

I bet these people must be secretly laughing at my daughter’s kidnapping! But fret not. As long as my daughter’s still alive, these people won’t be able to change Wilson’s thoughts of me! Oh well, too bad nobody in this house could cure Wilson’s illness and only my daughter managed to do so with the Phantom Grass that she brought back from the mainland.

Just when he was thinking about those things, there was suddenly a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. It was an old man in his seventies to eighties, with an alluring young woman supporting him.

“Dad, why are you here?” Marcus was surprised to see the old man.

The old man wasn’t any ordinary person. He was the patriarch of the Hansley family, a legend in Gronga—Wilson Hansley.

Back then, he led the Hansley family from nothing to becoming one of the four prominent families in Gronga. He was the true self-made big shot.

“If I don’t come, I’m afraid the entire house will be torn apart!” Wilson scowled. “What’s going on? Who took Cecilia away?”

“We don’t know yet!”

Marcus shook his head. “The Department of Criminal Investigation had already sent someone to retrieve the surveillance footage. We reckon it won’t take long for them to find out who took Cecilia. Once I find out who that son of a b*tch is, I’m going to turn him to dust!”

He was the most anxious person out of the entire Hansley family when Cecilia got taken away.

It doesn’t matter that my daughter has been kidnapped. But if it’s going to affect my status, I’m doomed!

“Call Chief Warren from the Department of Criminal Investigation immediately, and have him dispatch more people to search the entire city. Tell him it’s an order from me!” Wilson demanded.

Based on his status in Gronga, commanding a chief from the Department of Criminal Investigation wasn’t a big deal.

“Okay, I’ll give him a call right now.” Without another word, Marcus picked up his phone and headed out the door.

Once Marcus left, Wilson looked to the rest and asked, “Does anyone know why Cecilia got taken away?”

“We heard Cecilia owed him some money, and he was here to collect the debt,” said Cedric, his oldest grandchild who spoke up against Marcus earlier. “But Cecilia said she didn’t know him at all. That really angered him, so he took her away.”

“Cecilia owed him money?” Hearing that, Wilson furrowed his brows. “How much did she owe him?”

“I heard it was a few billion.”

“What?” Wilson’s face turned pale. “A few billion? How did Cecilia owe him so much money?”

“Who knows?” Cedric shrugged. “Maybe he was lying? I doubt Cecilia would owe him that much money.”

“How would you know?” A young woman next to him chimed in. “What if she lost her money while gambling at Durbaine? It’s not that difficult to lose a few billion on the gambling table.”

“Stop with your nonsense. Cecilia isn’t a gambler!” Cedric glared at the young woman. Although I despise Cecilia to the core, I still have to pretend to be courteous in front of Grandpa.

“All right. Forget about how Cecilia owed him money. What’s more important is that one of our own was kidnapped right in front of everyone’s eyes. If this gets out there, how will the Hansley family hold its head up in Gronga in the future?” Wilson said gravely.
