Antonio bowed his head slightly in respect and answered,"Mrs. Long and Miss Molly have left here
safely. Mrs. Long called me just now to confirm that they were safe and would come home together."
Brian frowned at the report he received. Of course, he was happy to know that they were safe, but their
whereabouts were still unconfirmed. He asked Antonio,"Which group did this?"
"Based on our investigation, we found that the site has been cleared using professional methods. All
traces have been eliminated. For now, we are unable to procure more information about them, but we
will soon get our hands on detailed information about this, tomorrow, at the latest," Antonio replied
diligently.
XK Intelligence Agency was said to possess the best and the most sophisticated information network
across the world. Nobody and no evidence could be kept hidden from their investigative eyes for long.
If XK Intelligence Agency wanted to know about something, they got that information at any cost. Even
if the investigation lasted for long periods, anything they wanted to know would be brought to light at
the end. Unless they didn't want to look into it.
Brian remained silent. He was thinking. He assessed the villa in front of him.
Given the fact that the members of XK Intelligence Agency and the Shadow Organization were with
him now, it was obvious that the men who had saved Shirley were not his subordinates. Who else had
the power to save them in A City?
"Have you informed Richie of this?" Brian turned away from the villa and asked.
Antonio lowered his sight and answered,"He already knows about it."
Brian shot a glimpse at him as if he wanted to say something further, but he decided against it. He
walked towards his car. He lingered after opening the car door, changed his mind and gave the
order,"Find them!" His low and menacing voice indicated that his order must be followed through at all
cost.
Antonio frowned and tried to find an acceptable way to tell him the rest of Shirley's message. After a
while, he answered,"Mrs. Long has informed that it is not necessary to look for them. And she also
asked me to send word to you that Miss Molly would be secure with her. They will come back
tomorrow."
Obviously, this answer caught Brian by surprise. He was confused about Shirley's strange behavior.
Who on earth had saved them? And why did Shirley not want to come back until tomorrow? She went
to the extend of asking him not to look for her or Molly.
Antonio looked at his boss. Brian's face was cloudy, even more than the gloomy dark night. He
proceeded to ask him carefully in order not to enrage him,"Mr. Long, should we continue to
investigate?"
"Wait for Richie and ask his opinion." Brian ordered him to stand down for the time being and got into
his car. A drifting curve by his excellent driving skill disturbed the quietness of the surroundings once
again and the car disappeared into the inky night.
Brian's car was swallowed by the murky night and Antonio felt a little knot in his stomach. Although the
site was cleaned, they were able to salvage some traces of evidence after a thorough investigation.
He immediately realized that in A City, the only one whom Mrs. Long chose to trust had the ability to
eliminate a powerful organization like Philip. The answer was clear as day. The Chief of The Sacred
Domain - Mr. Shen!
But Richie had never mentioned any news about Sheridan to Shirley. The only thing he allowed Shirley
to know was that Sheridan was still alive.
But now... It looked like Mr. Shen had saved Shirley and Molly. Sheridan and Shirley's reunion was
inevitable. Antonio sensed a prodigious storm drawing near. No one knew what was going to happen.
The night was getting darker and gloomier, but another dawn was nearing. As light pierced through the
night curtain, two middle-aged men arrived at the A City International Airport.
At that same time, Brian was at his villa, having his breakfast. Besides him, there was another man
munching on his breakfast too. The unexpected guest dropped in at Brian's house at midnight.
"Brian, do you really feel relieved to know that Auntie Shirley is out with Little Molly?" Eric forked a
piece of ham into his mouth as he spoke, which made his voice unclear. "Who was behind last night's
kidnapping?"
Brian stopped drinking his coffee and his hand holding the mug came to a sudden halt. He narrowed
his eyes at Eric, trying to figure out where he was going with the conversation.
Eric was so carefree that he did not sense the pressure emitting from Brian. He swallowed his food and
continued,"Brian, do you realize that ever since Little Molly has started living with you, she has been
through many dangerous incidents? She was kidnapped, she got hurt. It looks like she has been
having a very hard time recently."
Eric's words were like direct punches aimed at Brian. As an arrogant man who had great power and
ability, he always looked down upon everything and everyone. But he couldn't deny the truth. Since
Molly had started living with him, she had been kidnapped more than once. And that one time, she was
even imprisoned in a closed room. Although he had served hell to everyone who was involved and had
successfully saved Molly, there were always people from somewhere, crossing his red line and trying to
hurt his woman.
Eric shot a quick glance at Brian, trying to read his expression. He slowly sipped his milk and curled his
lips into a grin. "But lucky for her, she wouldn't be staying with you for more than a few more days. She
would be much safer if she was away from you."
"Do you think I will let her leave me?" Brian eyed Eric with cold fury. He could not imagine a reality
where there was no Molly. And he absolutely refused to let Molly go. The color in his eyes dimmed
because of the mixed feelings he was experiencing. He got fidgety and then he said in a gloomy
voice,"If she left me, wouldn't it be inconvenient for you to test how important she is to me anymore?"
Eric shrugged innocently at Brian's unpleasant words. "Why should I make any effort to test that dull
thing? Your heart is entirely occupied by Becky. And Little Molly is nothing but a replacement for her.
How could you take any interest in a woman who is nothing more than a substitute?"
Eric scorned. He paused and slowly continued with a smug smile,"However, if Little Molly left you, I
could get to know her better and pursue her. I am starting to think she is mesmerizing."
"She is not good enough for you. You deserve a better woman!" Brian said defensively.
