"I... I don't know where he is either," Noah Wood replied with a trembling voice. "I was supposed to meet him today for something, but his phone has been turned off the whole time. I... I'll send someone out to look for him."
"Commander Gardner, I don't know what my rebellious son has done?" Noah Wood then looked at Billy and asked.
"You sure raised a fine son there!" Casey chimed in with a hint of sarcasm. "Conspiring to kidnap a schoolgirl in broad daylight, he's got nerves of steel!"
"What?" Noah Wood exclaimed, his whole body trembling at an increasing frequency.
What scared him was not the act of kidnapping itself. As for the Wood family, one of the four major families in Enssea, ordering someone to kidnap one or two people was not a big deal as long as no one was killed. The point was the kidnapped person must be someone Commander Gardner wanted to protect. Otherwise, he would not have made such a big move.
At the thought of it, Noah Wood was consumed with great fear and panic. He now only hoped that his idiot son had not done anything irreparable, otherwise, this family would be truly finished.
"Oliver, go and make everyone go out to search, find the whereabouts of that traitor!" Noah Wood turned his head and shouted loudly at his younger brother.
"I'll go right away!" Oliver Wood was quaking with fear at this point.
"Sir, I know where he is..." At this moment, a trembling guest of this family who was a martial artist said.
"Really?" Noah Wood shouted, "Where is he?"
"I spoke with Kevin on the phone earlier. He... he's with Master Doug at Purple Cloud Villas."
"Are you sure?" Billy asked in a deep voice.
"Yes... yes, I'm sure."
"Casey, let's go!" Billy said as he turned and headed towards the car.
Soon, Casey got into the car and set up the navigation system before stepping on the gas pedal.
"Hurry up, catch up!" Noah Wood shouted loudly while running towards the parking lot of the villa at full speed. He prayed constantly in his heart that things hadn't developed to an irreparable extent yet. At the same time, three thousand SHADOW men rushed towards the entrance of the villa.
Purple Cloud Villas was located in a suburb south of town and was half an hour's drive from the Mansion of the Wood family. The convoy raced there at breakneck speed and arrived at the gate within fifteen minutes.
Meanwhile, inside a villa hall, a young man sat on a sofa sipping red wine - it was Doug Wood, the second son of Noah Wood. Across from him sat Felicia Knight who shrank back onto her sofa looking scared with messy hair, teary eyes full of panic.
"You... you better release me right now or my brother-in-law won't let you off..." Felicia trembled as she spoke out loud.
"Really? I'm so scared!" Doug Wood sneered. "Do you know why I want to catch you?"
"What... what do you want?" Felicia took a deep breath and asked.
"Your good brother-in-law dared to make me kneel and apologize in public. He's quite something, huh?" Doug Wood said coldly. "He thought that once he returned to Ozin, I wouldn't be able to touch him anymore. How ridiculous! I was originally planning on bringing people with me to Ozin to settle the score with him, but I didn't expect that he still had a little sister-in-law like you studying at Enssea University. It saved me the trouble of making a special trip to Ozin! He should be running around Enssea looking for you like a headless fly right now."
"I didn't have anyone else come along with us because I wanted your classmate to pass on the message about your brother-in-law. And here I was worried that he wouldn't show up!" he added.
"You bastard! I'm warning you, my brother-in-law is a Battle God! If you don't let me go now, he won't spare you!" Felicia finally understood why she had been caught.
