“Normally, Mr. Crawford immediately hangs up my calls if he’s busy. However, he’s neither picking nor hanging up on me even though I’ve called dozens of times! If something was up, Mr. Crawford would definitely let me know beforehand!”
“Exactly, and if his phone isn’t with him, who was the one who had hung up on that last call before turning the phone off?”
Both Michael and Zack had a feeling that something wasn’t right.
At that moment, Leopold White—Michael’s subordinate—walked in with a group of people.
Leopold walked to their side before saying, “Mr. Zeke, I went to Mr. Crawford’s hotel and the hotel manager told us that he was last seen leaving the hotel this afternoon!”
“He went out?”
Michael and Zack looked at each other.
Several high-ranking VIPs at the banquet started gathering around the two of them.
The venue was divided into several large lounges, making the place quite huge. Those in the inner venue mostly consisted of VIPs. It was also where Michael and Zack currently were.
“Mr. Zeke, Mr. Lyle, is something wrong? Why isn’t Mr. Crawford here?” asked Mr. Harrison.
The VIPs had overheard them discussing the situation which led to them enquiring the two of them about the matter.
“We can’t seem to get in contact with him at the moment.”
“Mr. Lyle, I found him!” shouted Jaxon as he rushed over. He was panting and gasping for air when he finally got close.
He then went close to Zack’s side and whispered in his ear.
“…What?” Zack’s eyes widened.
Those who were aware of the situation immediately quieted down.
“Mr. Harrison, Mr. Zebriel, and Mr. Le! Mr. Crawford has been kidnapped and he was most likely set-up!” said Zack.
“Impossible!” said Mr. Le, shocked.
