Chapter 127

“Go and find out. I want to see her in an hour. I don’t care if you must dig deep into the soil!”

“Roger that.”

With Noah’s nerves showing, Wayne got on it right away.

Noah stared at the screenshot on the tablet as panic took over every inch of his being.

It was his fault. It was all his fault. Despite knowing a killer was on the loose, and Madeline was on thehit list, Noah had to act in spite at a time like this.

What if something were to happen to her? What was he going to do?novelbin

It appeared Noah would not be able to bear to see her die again.

“What’s the matter, Daddy? Did something happen to Mommy?” Thomas observed Noah’s grimacingface from the car. The boy got out of the car, grabbed the adult’s hand, and asked with concern.

“Thomas, I think I made a mistake…”

“Is Mommy missing?”

Thomas probingly asked as a bad feeling overcame him.

Daddy said he was taking him to Mommy. However, Mommy was nowhere in sight. All he saw was acar abandoned on the side of the road.

Well, this did not seem like nothing.

“Don’t worry, Thomas. I will find your mommy! Just trust me, okay?” Noah leaned over to pull Thomasinto his

arms.

Acting like a child who had done

something wrong, Noah cautiously told Thomas.

Thomas put his weight onto Noah’s shoulder, feeling the trembles from Daddy’s body.

“Alright. I trust you.” Thomas gave Noah a gentle pat on the back and earnestly nodded his head.

Although the boy was worried about his mother, it was heartbreaking to see his dad like this.

He made up his mind to offer support and solace to his father.

Still, a lot of thoughts ran through Thomas’ mind as he tried to figure out a way to track Mommy down.

Noah was able to find peace in the little man’s comfort. He was about to continue his search forMadeline when he got a notification on his phone.

He unlocked his phone and found two videos in his mailbox.

After leaving Thomas with Dylan who came by to help, Noah went to a corner and clicked on the videolink.

Rage overtook him when he saw Madeline locked in a freezer storage.

He nearly crushed the phone in his hand.

Holding back the fury, he dialed the number that was sent alongside the videos.

The call was quickly connected.

Lone Wolf’s voice, bearing a tinge of thrill, came on the other end of the line.

“Long time no see, Mr. Quincy. Did you miss me?”

“Lone Wolf.” Noah had a feeling that Lone Wolf’s men must be involved the moment he laid eyes onthe encrypted phone number. To his surprise, it was Lone Wolf himself behind the whole thing.

“You should know that you won’t leave Imperia alive if anything happens to Madeline.”

Clutching onto his phone, Noah spoke icily.

“Don’t be mad, Mr. Quincy. The pretty lady will live for another six hours. There’s no need to get yourpanties in a bunch.”

“What do you want?”

“Are you going to give me whatever I want?”

“So long as you’re alive to take it.”

“Gee, we’re old friends. Why so serious? You’re making me scared. I might not have a good grip on thesteering wheel when I’m scared, and it would put the person in the vehicle in danger…”

“Oh, really? If the person in the vehicle is in danger, things will not end well for you and your brotherwho’s lying in the lab too. We got leverage, so cut the bullcr*p and get straight to the point.”

Noah smirked. His tone reflected bloodthirstiness.

At the same time, he sent an order out to Wayne with his backup phone.

Noah acquired useful information from Lone Wolf’s words. Madeline was likely to be a freezer unit of amoving truck.

He must get to her as soon as possible.

“In that case, I should cut to the chase. I want all the shares you have of Quinton Corporation.”

“Oh? I thought you were more interested in saving your brother’s life.”

Noah was not surprised by Lone Wolf’s demand.

It was not hard for Lone Wolf to rescue Lone Fox out of Golden Dome

International District anyway.

For Lone Wolf to handle the job himself, he must be after something huge.

“You and I know that he doesn’t have

long to live.”

Lone Wolf’s tone turned flat.

“Ha! You’re indeed the best killer in the

world. You’re ruthless! I wonder who gave you an offer you couldn’t refuse to disregard your brother’slife and take the shares in my possession.”

“Don’t try to bait me, Mr. Quincy. I’m a man of work ethic. I want the money and power, plus the babe.Have you thought it through, Mr. Quincy?”

“I agree to your terms, but we need to do the exchange face-to-face. I don’t mind having Lone Foxjump off the building for entertainment if you try anything smart.”

“Well, well, well. You’re quite the lover boy, aren’t you? Have the papers for equity transfer ready in anhour, and I’ll

send you the address.”

“Sure, but I need you to do something for me.”

Trapped in a freezer, Madeline was trying to move her numb fingers to fiddle with her plain ring.

There was a less than 0.05-carat diamond lodged inside her ring. She attempted to pry the diamondout. Alas, her fingers would not do her bidding.

Madeline blew into her frozen hands before patiently giving it another go. With the diamond nearlyremoved, the truck took a sharp turn. The momentum threw her to an ice block.

It was a good thing she managed to put her stiff arms over her head to protect

her from the crash.

Madeline leaned against the wall for a breather. Once the car returned to a steady cruise, shecontinued digging the diamond out.

Nevertheless, the vehicle made another sudden swerve when she pulled the ring out to see under thedim light in the compartment.

The vehicle was violently shaking at this point. Madeline stuck herself to the side of the truck for a longtime before finding her balance once more.

Before she could secure a firm footing, it was a violent shake in the vehicle again.

It was then Madeline realized that it was not a simple turn.

If her guess was right, there was someone on the truck’s tail.

Albert must have seen the signal she left behind for him.

Madeline thought to herself with hope. With her back against the vehicle, she shifted her center ofgravity in a half- squatting position while rubbing her palms together to warm her fingers. She thenpositioned her fingernails close to the rock and pried it off the ring using the shaking force of the truck.

The tiny diamond fell off the ring and dropped onto the icy surface of the storage unit. Madeline pickedthe diamond up, wedged it in the cavity of the ring, and gave it a good press.

It unlocked the mechanism. Madeline wore the ring on her finger and placed the back of her handagainst the door of

the compartment.

There was a 0.5cm magnet in the ring.

Albert had altered the magnet in the lab. The tiny magnet would increase the magnetic force by ahundred-fold when attached to metal properties.

The invention was designed to climb on metal structures, but it came in handy right now.

Although Madeline was surrounded by four walls of a freezer compartment, the outer layer of thevehicle was made of metal.

It was the perfect environment to use the magnet.

Madeline placed the ring against the door of the truck, turning the door into a huge magnet.

She soon heard the screeching noise of

brakes, and a collision ensued.
