Chapter Ninety two
Elvis couldn’t hide the fire burning inside him as he read the note again. His grip on the paper tightened until it nearly tore. The night was pressing in, dark and heavy, but that was the least of his concern. Whether the kidnappers came for Celine or whether she was simply bait to drag him out, he didn’t care. All he knew was one thing—he was going to that address, and he was bringing her out alive.He yanked his phone out of his pocket and dialed the butler’s number. The line barely rang before it was picked.“I’m about to send you an address,” Elvis said, his voice cold and sharp. “Deploy some of the special force members to that area, but listen carefully—they are not to make any move until I give the signal. Do you understand?”“Yes, sir… is everything alright?” the butler asked, concern heavy in his voice.“This isn’t the time to talk!” Elvis snapped and cut the call without waiting for another word. His thumbs moved quickly over the screen as he sent the address, then he threw

Elvis gave a light chuckle and shook his head. “Why do you even think I can train you? Please, stand up,” he said firmly, his eyes narrowing as he looked down at Celine who still knelt before him.She didn’t move. Her hands pressed against her thighs as though glued there, her eyes glistening with a strange mixture of desperation and fear.“What do you need training for?” Elvis asked again, his tone carrying a sharp edge. He hoped the question alone would break her resolve and send her away. But instead, her face shifted into something else—an expression weighed down by years of sadness.“There’s something about my family I have never told anyone,” she began, her voice trembling. “I’ve carried it as a secret all these years because I felt there was no hope.” She paused, sniffed, then lifted her head slightly, her eyes locking on his. “Until I saw you, sir.”Elvis frowned, his curiosity stirring despite his resistance. “And what makes you think I’m the answer?”“I believe I can trust y

Mr. Johnson’s heart was pounding with joy as he rushed forward. His eyes glistened, his face brighter than it had been in years. When he reached where Elvis and Celine stood, he nearly dropped to his knees. His body trembled, his lips moving with gratitude.“Thank you, Elvis,” he cried, his voice breaking. “You’ve returned my joy back to me after so many painful years!”Elvis quickly reached out, stopping him before he could kneel completely. “Please, sir, don’t do that. You don’t need to bow before me,” he said firmly but respectfully.Mr. Johnson’s eyes shifted to Celine, and his expression softened even more. He placed a trembling hand over his chest. he said warmly, “my family and I are indebted to you. You’ve done for us what no money, no power could buy. Ask for anything you want, and I will make it possible.”Celine gave him a polite smile and bowed her head slightly. “For now, sir, I have no need. But when the time is right, I’ll let you know.”Mr. Johnson nodded deeply, his v
Chapter Eighty nine
Elvis and Anita waited patiently at the designated area where Celine had instructed them to stay while she hurried off to fetch the herbs. The silence between them grew heavy, filled with the weight of urgency. Anita’s hands fidgeted nervously as she paced a little.“What if she never comes back?” Anita blurted, her voice trembling as the minutes dragged by.Elvis, who had been standing with his arms folded, gave her a steady look. “She will. She’s a lady of her word,” he said with confidence, though deep down, even he battled with doubt.Anita turned to him sharply, her tone tinged with jealousy. “You speak like you’ve known her for long!”Before Elvis could reply, movement in the distance caught their eyes. Celine was approaching, clutching the herbs carefully in her hands. Anita fell silent, her eyes narrowing, while Elvis straightened immediately.Celine handed the bundle to Elvis. He touched the herbs, and from the faint glow on the gemstone of his ring, he could tell instantly t

Elvis and Anita arrived just in time, stepping out of the car just as nurse Celine was leaving the police station. Her steps were slow and heavy, her skin pale, her body looking malnourished from sleepless nights behind bars. “Nurse Celine!” Anita called, her voice sharp with concern. Celine turned her head, recognized them, and hissed under her breath. Instead of answering, she quickened her steps, almost limping as she moved down the narrow street. “Please, wait!” Anita shouted again. She and Elvis ran after her. Their shoes hit the rough pavement as if they were chasing down a criminal, but it wasn’t a chase—it was desperation. After a long walk, Celine finally stopped and spun around. Her eyes were red, tired, and guarded. “What do you want from me?” she demanded, her voice breaking. “Are you here to accuse me like Williams did? Should I go back to prison? If that’s what you want, fine! I don’t even care anymore.” Her words cut through Anita’s chest. Elvis raised his hand

“How do we go about this? Williams will do everything in his power to frustrate our efforts. He is that proud, that stubborn,” Anita said, her voice trembling with worry. She paced the room, her hands clenched tightly together.“Dad can just call the head of police and request for the lady’s release,” Thomas suggested, his eyes turning to Mr. Johnson with hope.Mr. Johnson’s face was heavy with thought. He rubbed his forehead, looking older than he had in years. “It won’t be that easy,” he said slowly. “The Garalics are a powerful family too, and with her accused of attempted murder, they will not want to let this go without a fight.”Anita sighed, frustration lacing her words. “So what do we do? We can’t sit here.”“I could try reaching out to the head of police,” Mr. Johnson said after a pause. His voice carried both resolve and weariness. “But to get anything done quickly, I might have to bribe my way through. That goes against my principles. You know I have always stood against co
