Chapter 143
With partners crowding the company, Daisy didn’t believe Stuart Thompson and the others hadn’t shown up.Sure enough, Freya nodded.“Mr. Thompson, Mr. Parker, and Chairman Irving are all in the reception area.”Freya paused, then added as she set the documents down, “Miss Daisy, these three files are from them.”Daisy’s lips twitched slightly. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly.“Freya, go to the main reception room and keep the other partners calm. We really are out of stock for now, but R&D and production have already started working around the clock.”Freya didn’t dare delay and hurried off to the Hill Group’s main reception room.Having followed Daisy for quite some time, she knew exactly how to handle the situation and what to say.Daisy, meanwhile, took the three documents Freya had left behind and headed straight for the reception area.Adrian followed closely behind. Daisy hadn’t anticipated such a chaotic scene, but Adrian wasn’t surprised at all.Given how explosiv

Adrian noticed nothing amiss and bade her farewell with his usual courtesy.“Captain Ophelia, we’ll be heading out now. Let’s talk again sometime.”No sooner had Adrian and the others left than a woman in uniform hurried over in a panic.“Captain Ophelia, something’s happened.”Only then did Ophelia pull her thoughts back and ask briskly, “What is it this time?”“It’s Thunder City. Many karate and judo dojos there have been challenged and shut down—casualties are severe. The hospitals are already overwhelmed. Thunder City has requested reinforcements, and Commander Hamilton has ordered us to assist as well.”Ophelia nodded without hesitation.“If the commander has given the order, then we move immediately.”“What about the kidnapper?”Ophelia glanced toward the station and let out a cold snort.“Didn’t she refuse to cooperate with us? Then let her stay here for a day. We’ll take her away tomorrow.”With that, Ophelia got into a car. Once everyone was assembled, they drove straight tow
Chapter 141
Russell Sanders’ sudden reversal left Duncan Kirk so furious he nearly suffered a heart attack.Yet he did not dare openly offend the Sanders family. After all, the Kirk family was no longer what it once had been.Moreover, the Kirks had only a single daughter, and their decline was plain for all to see.Perhaps that was precisely why their daughter had clung so tightly to the Sanders family all these years.Angry and heartbroken, Duncan Kirk nevertheless forced himself to lower his stance and continue speaking to Russell Sanders with painstaking politeness.“Russell, you know very well that my daughter has no personal grudge against Adrian. Wasn’t she acting for the sake of the Sanders family—for your sake—when she did something as foolish as that kidnapping?”There was silence on the other end of the line. To Duncan Kirk, it felt like a glimmer of hope. He gripped the receiver tightly and pressed on.“The Kirk family doesn’t have many connections anymore, but your father is differen

Skyline City, Anping Village Police Station.Nicole Kirk sat in a chair in the lobby, one leg crossed over the other, her face brimming with smug satisfaction and unrestrained arrogance.The captain who had brought them in earlier wore a troubled expression, forced to plaster on a polite smile whenever his gaze landed on Nicole Kirk.Nicole Kirk waited cheerfully for Adrian and Daisy to come out.After about five minutes, Adrian finally emerged from the inner room, holding Daisy’s hand as they walked out together.During the statement-taking, Adrian and Daisy had recounted nearly every detail of what had happened. Yet the moment they saw Nicole Kirk sitting there as calm and self-assured as ever, both of their expressions darkened.Nicole Kirk stood up, lifting her chin as she looked down her nose at Daisy and Adrian.“I told you so. Even if you called the police, don’t even think you can keep me here.”Adrian frowned and turned to look at the captain of the precinct.The captain let

Daisy had said it herself—Adrian was terrifying enough to inspire genuine fear…Nicole Kirk’s expression darkened. But at this point, there was nothing left for her to do except urge the men in black to kill Adrian at all costs.Adrian pulled Daisy into his arms and lowered his head, speaking softly, “I’ll keep you safe. Stay close to me.”Daisy nodded. Her trust in Adrian was absolute.The moment she saw him break free of the ropes binding him, a deep sense of security settled in her heart.She believed he would get them out safely. Just looking at his figure was enough to make her feel completely at ease.Nicole Kirk fired several shots in succession, but they had no effect on Adrian. Just as she was about to pull the trigger again, her vision blurred—as if a shadow had flashed past her eyes.The next instant, cold sweat poured down Nicole Kirk’s back. She tried to speak, but could only swallow hard.Her gun was gone.Yet her hand was still frozen in the posture of pulling the trigg

Daisy told Nicole Kirk bluntly that Adrian was not someone to be provoked lightly.After hearing this, Nicole Kirk nodded, propped her chin on her hand, and gave a perfunctory smile, clearly not taking it to heart at all.Whether it was Daisy or anyone else, no matter how formidable they claimed Adrian to be, Nicole Kirk refused to believe he could be powerful beyond the limits of an ordinary human.Daisy lowered her head, lost in thought.Nicole Kirk chuckled softly. “Saying all this now is nothing more than an attempt to make me release you. But you should understand—I will never let you go.”“Why?” Daisy asked.Aside from the matter involving the Sanders family, Daisy believed she had never crossed them.“Why?” Nicole Kirk grew impatient. She brushed her bangs aside and fixed Daisy with a colder gaze. “My goal today is to use you to threaten Adrian. What would I gain by letting you go?”“Don’t waste your energy. When Adrian arrives, if he’s sensible enough, I’ll have them release
