Chapter 713 Not Stanley
A kid’s body? The inside of the body is empty?
Those words kept echoing over and over in Alex’s mind, driving him over the edge.
Autumn, who was behind him, was upset to see him in that state. She did not know what she could doto make him feel better.
Just as she was about to take a step forward to pat his shoulder to console him, he darted toward theperson who had found the body of the child.
Alex then grabbed the man in black. With bloodshot eyes and popped veins on his temples, hebellowed. “Where’s the kid’s body?”
The man was startled, to say the least. He swallowed before shakily pointing in a direction andstammering out, “O-Over there.”
Without stopping to think. Alex rushed toward where the man had pointed.
Soon, a child’s body appeared in his line of sight. However, the child was a girl, and she had beenthrown out of the house. She lay among the weeds, and no one would have seen her if they were notpaying attention to every inch of the place.
It’s not Stanley.
Alex’s heart calmed down a little, but the sorrow he felt for the girl remained.
After letting out a sigh, he turned to the man in black earlier and instructed, “Cremate her. Take a photoof her and send it to the police station.”
Even a stranger like Alex was heartbroken at the sight of the pitiable girl. Alex could not imagine howdevastated her parents would be to see her in that way.
“It’s not Stanley, so it means he’s still alive. Alex, we can’t give up.
now.”
Autumn, by then, caught up with him. She was horrified to see the small body, but she recollectedherself enough to utter a word of consolation to Alex.
“My father said they caught two men upstairs. It looks like they’re the ones who are in charge of theorgan harvesting. Why don’t we go upstairs to interrogate them? Perhaps we’ll be able to find outwhere Stanley is,” Autumn suggested.
She’s right!
Alex had been too overwrought earlier, so he had forgotten about that method.
The two then went to the second-floor balcony. By then, Auriel had already beaten Deuce and Ace tothe point they barely looked human. If they were a second too late, Auriel would have killed them.
“Stop!” Alex cried out.
Upon hearing his voice, Auriel instantly stopped.
Alex then ran over to grab Deuce’s collar and lifted the man off the ground.
He then questioned, “Did you do anything to Stanley?”
Stanley? Who’s Stanley?
Deuce let loose a string of curses inwardly. What kind of horrendous person have we kidnapped tohave this happen to us now? If I was given another chance and if I knew who Stanley was, I swear Iwouldn’t lay a finger on that kid, even if it meant quitting from this line of work.
Deuce was sobbing inwardly as he tried his best to convince the others he was innocent. “I-I reallydon’t know who the kid you’re looking for is!”
Just as those words left his mouth, Deuce was given a hard slap, and three of his teeth flew out of hismouth. Alarmed, he stared at Alex as tears ran down his face.
“Are you going to tell me or not?” Alex spat out. His patience was at its limit. If not for Stanley, he wouldhave finished Deuce off there and then.
It was apparent to Deuce that the terrific was not
at all satisfied with his answer, so he dared not
tell him that he knew nothing.
“I-I remember that there’s a little boy. Could he be the one you’re talking about?”novelbin
