***Inside the luxurious top-floor office of Horizon Group, the atmosphere was calm and professional.Several thick documents rested neatly on Darren’s office desk.Darren sat upright behind the desk while opposite him sat the mysterious Mr. Red.The young billionaire looked completely relaxed in his expensive red suit.His stylish hair partly covered one side of his face while his red-polished sunglasses reflected the office lights faintly.Unlike Darren who looked serious, Mr. Red looked like someone casually visiting a friend instead of discussing a two hundred billion dollar investment.Darren adjusted the documents calmly before speaking.“Now that everything has been finalized,” he said professionally, “it is time to review the terms and conditions before we sign.”Mr. Red lazily waved his hand dismissively.“There is no need for all that.”Darren paused slightly.Mr. Red leaned comfortably against the chair. “I trust whatever terms Mr. Hilton puts forward.”Darren stared at him

After the call ended, Darren remained standing silently with the phone pressed tightly against his ear.His entire body was tense.Slowly, he lowered the phone and immediately walked toward the giant glass window of his office.From the top floor of the skyscraper, the city stretched endlessly below him. He eyes scanned the surroundings carefully.The kidnapper had claimed they were watching him. Was someone actually observing him from nearby?He narrowed his eyes and searched the surrounding buildings suspiciously. But there was nothing unusual.No suspicious vehicle. No strange person. Nothing.Still, Darren could not relax. He slowly turned around and looked at the panicking Sister Maria.The nun looked frightened and confused.“Darren…” she said nervously. “What did they say?”Darren forced himself to remain calm. “They want me involved personally.”Sister Maria’s face immediately turned pale.“Oh God…”Darren quickly walked toward her. “Listen carefully to me.”The nun looked up

Darren frowned after hearing Raymond’s smug words.“You accomplice will not go free,” he said coldly. “Nothing hides under the sun forever. One day, the truth will surely come out.”Raymond immediately burst into laughter.“Hahaha!” He slapped his knee mockingly. “You wish!”Then he suddenly smirked. “But honestly… I am impressed.”Darren narrowed his eyes silently.Raymond pointed at him with the cigarette between his fingers.“You cooperated very well. You even contacted your emissary and ordered the transfer without much stress. That means how much that old lady’s life mean to you.” He chuckled darkly. “Since you are behaving nicely, I will reward you.”Darren frowned slightly.Raymond snapped his fingers loudly.“Bring in the old woman.”Immediately, two masked men hurried toward the inner part of the house. A few moments later, footsteps echoed from the hallway.Soon, Sister Agnes was dragged roughly into the room.Her hands were still tied behind her back while a black sack cov

Not long after escaping from the forest road, the red Ferrari finally slowed down before a gigantic mansion with a massive red gate.The luxurious villa looked almost unreal.Even the decorations around the compound followed the same strange theme. Red flowers. Red lights. Red statues.Several security men dressed in expensive red and black suits immediately opened the gate respectfully the moment the Ferrari approached.The car smoothly entered the compound before stopping in front of the enormous mansion.Adrian quietly observed everything suspiciously while Clara looked overwhelmed. But they were not in the condition to admire anything. Mr. Red casually stepped out of the car first before stretching lazily.“Welcome home,” he said cheerfully.Adrian frowned slightly after hearing that.Very soon, the two of them followed him inside.The interior of the mansion looked even more luxurious than outside. Expensive paintings decorated the walls while a giant crystal chandelier hung fro

Meanwhile, after leaving the forest, Darren had already returned to Horizon Group together with Jeff.Inside Darren’s office, the atmosphere was tense.The Inspector stood before both of them looking visibly dejected while several officers stood quietly behind him.“I am sorry, Mr. Hilton,” the Inspector finally said heavily. “We failed to catch Raymond’s accomplices.”Jeff’s face instantly darkened with anger.“What do you mean you failed?” he snapped immediately. “You confidently said you knew exactly where the tunnel ended and that you would arrest them the moment they crawled out!”The Inspector looked uncomfortable.“Yes,” he admitted honestly. “That was our expectation.”Jeff folded his arms angrily.“Then what happened?”The Inspector sighed tiredly.“It seems the suspects received help from a third party.”Darren, who had remained silent until now, slowly lifted his eyes.“A third party?” he repeated calmly.The Inspector nodded.“Our officers arrived at the tunnel exit only a
