Chapter 2717
Percy knew what Luke was thinking, so he patted him on the shoulders. “Once the Island of Despair iseradicated, she can finally be with you for good."
"Yeah." Luke's voice was hoarse, and he was getting dizzy from anger.
It was the anger he had toward the Island of Despair.
The thugs from the Island of Despair were actually brave enough to pick on him back then.
This time, after the resurgence of the Island of Despair, they picked on Luca.
There was no way he would ever let them get away with it!
"Come, let's have a drink. The surveillance footage will probably be sent over by the time we're donedrinking." Percy opened another bottle of wine.
His subordinates were drinking in the room next door, and they began investigating Pierre'swhereabouts while waiting for the footage to be sent over.
They drank until dawn.
When there was finally a knock on the door, the three of them simultaneously put down their wineglasses. "It's here," Percy said.
Jim turned off the music in the room.
Percy raised his voice and said, "Come in."
Adrian pushed the door open before walking in and said, "Mr. Pierre, we've watched all the footage."
"Did you find anything?" Percy asked.
Adrian shook his head and said, "The only thing we found was that your brother last appeared at theborders of A City and X City. Those people were very slick as they changed vehicles more than oncemidway. The sun had risen toward the end, and the number of vehicles on the road increased, so it'shard for us to guess which car Pierre was brought into."
Percy raised his eyebrows. He had expected this outcome.
After all, it was the Island of Despair. It took them a great deal of effort to arrest all the members of theold Island of Despair back then, so it was only natural that the new Island of Despair would not bemuch worse off.
"Would they be in X City?" Luke murmured. Since he was last seen between A CIty and X City, hereckoned that there was a good chance that Pierre could have been kidnapped to X City.
"Isn't X City your hometown?" Jim frowned.
"Yes." Luke nodded. What he said was true, but there were not many people in X City who could helpthem.
After Old Master Crawford had secured his foothold here, he did not further develop his business in XCity as it was a highland. Other than tourism, there were little to no prospects for other businesses.
Therefore, the Crawford family did not hold much power there other than their reputation.
"If he really is in X City, then it'll be hard to investigate this case." Jim was aware of that fact.
None of them had expanded their businesses to X City, and even the Crawford family had only a littleinfluence there, so there were not many locals they could ask for help.
When it came to tasks like investigation, the locals would always be of much better help than thepeople they sent over there.
Percy had a sullen look. "The Island of Despair had planned this kidnapping for a long time."
Otherwise, they would not have chosen X City.
Adrian said in response, "There's no guarantee that Pierre's in X City. The car might've disappeared atthe borders of A City and X City, but they could be misleading us on purpose..."
"It's quite unlikely.." Jim shook his head as he felt that they would not go to such lengths.
"Since they changed cars midway and even appeared in the surveillance footage, they must besomewhere in X City. Now, we have to find out where they took Pierre, so it looks like we have to sendpeople to X City. Luke, do Gale and Rain have people in X City?"
"No." Luke looked dejected too.
X City was not in T Corporation's development strategy, so he did not have Gale and Rain deploymanpower in X City.novelbin
Adrain responded, "If you really want to look for him in X City, we can go there right now, but it'll behard since we're not familiar with the place. Would you still want to go, then, Mr. Mallory?"
"Did you really not find him in the footage?" Percy looked at him.
Adrian shook his head. "After realizing that Mr. Pierre might have been kidnapped to X City, I evenhacked their surveillance system, but I couldn't find anything useful in any of the clips. I don't knowwhat car they changed into, and the resolution of the footage is not great, so it's hard to find him."Surveillance cameras were not like actual cameras that could clearly show the inside of the car.
Moreover, Pierre must have been unconscious the entire ride as he did not even appear in a singleframe of the many footages they watched.
If it were not for the fact that there were not many cars on the road when the kidnapper left, it wouldhave been impossible for them to track down the second car they changed into.
"I'll send Gale to X City," said Luke as he picked up his phone to give the order.
Besides, Gale was from the Island of Despair, so he knew how the Island of Despair handled things.
Perhaps, he would be able to find something in X City.
"Mr. Crawford, Mr. Mallory, I suggest calling the police and letting the police from X City and A City helpus. I'm worried that Mr. Pierre might be in danger if we're too late," Adrian expressed his thoughts.
Besides, the police would be of much help in situations they were unfamiliar with.
"No." Percy rejected his suggestion. If they were going to call the police in the first place, they wouldnot have let Adrian hack into the surveillance system to obtain the footage.
"Mr. Mallory?" Adrian looked at him in confusion.
Even after the two brothers had a falling out, Percy still asked him to hack into their system to accessthe surveillance footage. Was he not trying to look for Pierre? Yet, he refused to call the police...
Did he want Pierre to die in their hands?
"Those people don't want to kill him. If they wanted to kill him, they could've just done it at Oswald'splace. Why would they go through all that trouble of knocking him out and transporting him withdifferent vehicles in fear of being caught?" Jim slowly explained it to him.
"So, what do they want?" Adrian thought that what he said made sense, but it was beyond his ability tospeculate what the other party wanted, so he asked him directly.
"Who knows? Maybe they kidnapped Mr. Pierre to get ransom money from the Mallory family sincethey're so rich." Jim took a sip of wine and added, "Although Pierre's life might not be in danger, heshould still suffer the consequences of his actions. It serves him right for even having the guts toprovoke that organization.."
Adrian sat on the other sofa. He was not anxious about what might happen to Pierre.
After all, he was just helping Percy. He did not like Pierre in the slightest bit.
Such an incompetent yet arrogant master like him was bound to suffer.
Percy looked at Luke. "They're targeting the Mallory family, though. Are you sure you want Gale to go?"
"Obtaining a bit of information is better than nothing. Plus, I'm not sending Gale just for the sake ofPierre," Luke told him frankly.
Finding Pierre was secondary.
Right now, all of them thought that the people from the Island of Despair were in X City. Even if theperson behind this was not the final boss of the Island of Despair, that person must hold someauthority.
Thu, he sent Gale there to get more information on the Island of Despair.
