61: Deeper Investigation
(The Next Day)"I'll be heading out now, I need to meet up with my secretary," Fiona announced, holding her bag while walking towards the door."Do you want me to drive you?" Max proposed, standing from where he was sitting."No, you should get some rest first," Fiona immediately refused, shaking her head before walking out of the house.Max smiled lightly, seeing this, but he didn't say anything. It seemed like Aria had already started with the plan.According to his calculations, everything should be done in about two or three months.Then he would see what grounds they would stand on when they finally knew the truth.Amelia and Rose have gone to school. He was the one who took them and he had come back right before Fiona got ready for work.He could see the eye bags under her eyes which was clear evidence she didn't sleep well. He wanted to say something, but knew there was no need for that. He just needs to make sure Aria and Riley acted just like he had instructed them to and it
62: Findings
"Yes sir," Riley nodded and rushed back towards the car to get her laptop.She already heard of the briefing from Tiger and thus knew how important the person in question was to Max.The whole of Orange City was going to feel his wrath if anything were to happen to her. They could only pray they were safe.Taking out her phone, Riley made some calls to facilitate what she was about to do."Sir, here's the video; this is for yesterday morning," Riley announced after a few minutes, walking over to Max, causing Tiger to also move closer to see what was happening.Playing the video, they watched. The video showed Hannah going out of the house. Getting into the car, she was taken to work by the person Max assigned to her.Though there were two, only one would show at a time. Though the other one would follow them secretly, they had learned to rotate it."Let's see what happened to her when she came back; I want to know if she came back or not," Max commanded, his expression still as dark a
63: Speculation
Walking into the parking lot, Max and Tiger began to search around carefully for any clues that could at least lead them to whatever had happened to Hannah.The owner of the company, on the other hand, was shaking. He didn't even know how to help, neither did he know what to say to the two."Master, I found something," Tiger called, breaking the strange silence in the parking lot."What's that?" Max answered, walking slowly over to Tiger."Here," Tiger pointed at a small tranquilizer needle on the floor near one of the cars."Isn't this Hannah's car?" Max paused, not even glancing at the needle but instead at the car."Yes, it is," Tiger confirmed, also raising his head to look at the car.Hearing their conversation, the man instantly broke out into a sweat and nearly pissed his pants.This scary person's sister had disappeared in his company. How was he going to answer this? He had no idea what to say to them.Max, on the other hand, frowned slightly, observing the car. Then he squat
64: Thoughts
Max sat on the bonnet of the car while Tiger paced around lost in his thoughts, also trying to analyze the situation.After hearing the conversation between Max and Riley, he was also able to connect the dots of the happenings and realize it was far greater than what he was thinking.If that was the case, who the heck was this? What qualities could Hannah have had that made them target it?If Hannah had those qualities, then it meant his master's wife also had the qualities, else, there was no way they would target the two of them at the same time."What could it be?" Tiger muttered, trying to piece in the puzzle but no matter how much he thought, he just couldn't bring himself to think of one thing.If it was age, then Max's wife was older, so definitely it wasn't. Besides, if it was age, there were many other people in the same age range.Whatever the qualities might be, then it had to be narrowed down and also rare.Could it be their identities?But that shouldn't be the case right
65: More Clues
"Master, I think I might have a clue.""What's it?" Max instantly turned around, wanting to know what Tiger had thought of."Master, you said the culprit most likely is targeting virgins right?" Azure Dragon said slowly, observing Max's expression."Yes?" Max nodded, his brows narrowing into a straight line."Then that would mean he wants to absorb their Yin energy," Tiger stated, his expression increasingly becoming clear as he said this."Absorb their Yin energy?" Max frowned slightly thinking about what Tiger had said."If I remember correctly, you once told me there was a means of cultivation that involves forcibly absorbing a lady's yin energy. The purer the yin energy, the faster the Cultivation of the other party would rise,"Tiger said, his eyes not leaving Max even for a second."But then you said the method was evil as it was supposed to be a dual Cultivation method where both the Yin and Yang would harmonize and both parties would gain since the Yang would make up for what
66: Confirming It
Stepping into the parking lot of the company, Tiger and Max instantly began to search around the garage, wanting to see if they would be able to see anything suspicious.First, they headed towards Fiona's car, wanting to see if any trap was set for her there.Observing the car, they saw nothing, which made them breathe a sigh of relief.This meant that Fiona was targeted again. Though it was all speculation, it was still that way."Tiger, call Aria and instruct her not to let my wife out of her sight for the time being," Max commanded, turning to Tiger."Yes sir," Tiger nodded, pulling out his phone to make the call while Max continued to check the cars.He had quite a hunch the other party shifted their targets and thus he had to be careful, else he was going to regret it and he didn't want that.He didn't want the other party to slip out of his grip. No way would he allow that.Scrutinizing the parking lot, Max nodded in satisfaction seeing that there was no hidden trap for anyone h
67: Max's Anger
"Sir, what did you see?" Tiger inquired as they drove along the highest."That lady is of a Pure Yin constitution," Max revealed, the smile on his face a little bit stiff at the moment.All of his and Tiger's Conjectures were slowly coming true. If what they were thinking was true, then Hannah and all those who had been abducted would be in danger.And that was not a good thing. He needed to rescue them as soon as he could."Sir, since that's the case, wouldn't that make it dangerous leaving her. She would get abducted," Tiger spoke slowly, observing Max's expression."It's not really that hard you know," Max chuckled."I've left my Qi in her body, so once she gets abducted I'll know. That way, we'll be able to know where the culprit is," Max revealed.Hearing this, Tiger heaved out a huge sigh of relief. If that was the case, then it was all good.The master was beginning to calm down. They had some serious leads now, so there was no need to be scared of anything. He was sure everyth
68: The News
"Yes, sir." The man nodded and instantly led the two to see the bodies.Walking into the mortuary, he led two to see the bodies, which had already been placed into the cold chamber of the mortuary at the back.Opening two at the same time, he stepped backward to let Tiger and Max observe the body.Stepping forward, Tiger stared at the bodies, his expression ashen and his eyes red while he clenched his fist to contain his rage.The bodies before him had been mauled badly showing just how much they were tortured before they died.Bruises on their faces, arms, and legs, and also they looked skinny, like someone who had been starving for a year or so.From what he was seeing, he could tell that the deaths of these two were gruesome.Whoever had killed them tortured them to the point where they chose death as peace.Who the heck was this cruel? Why would they do something like this to his men?Why?!Tiger nearly yelled out, staggering backward, not knowing what to do.The tears in his eyes
69: Sir You Can't
"I know, we have to look for a way to stop the master, or else it's going to be perilous for all," Tiger agreed.This was also the reason he called Riley. They had to think of a solution as soon as they could, or else they were all cooked."What do we do?" Riley asked once again, her voice shaky while she shivered a bit.The thought of Max using that method made her shiver in fear."Inform everyone, all of our men, all the five groups, every one of them," Tiger instructed, his eyes narrowing into a thin line."They are all to come to Orange City in the next two hours, I don't care what they might be doing, they have to leave all that they are doing and come right away,""Yes sir," Riley nodded, knowing just how much this was. If they didn't act fast, then it would be bad for everyone."Once they've arrived, they should not even bother looking for me, they should just begin the search right away,""They should seal every route leading out of Orange City. For the next twenty-four hours,
70: We Need To Be Fast
Orange City was destined to be in a mess that day. Airports suddenly shut down all of a sudden.The planes that were about to take off suddenly stopped. The customers were given no explanation, only that an order came from above and they couldn't move until the next twenty-four hours.The landing plane was forced to go back to where it was coming back from.Subway stations were closed. No train dared to move. Ferries were more or less the same, and this prevented even buses from going out of the city.This caused a lot of unrest. No one knew what was happening. All they knew was that someone from above stopped all of these movements and no one dared to disobey.At that moment, inside the Mayor's office, a young man rushed into the office, staring at the mayor, who had his eyes closed."Sir, did you see what's happening?" The young man panicked, staring at the Mayor who was calm."I've seen it all, everything," The mayor nodded, his expression not changing.At first, he was also in a p
