CHAPTER 171
Connor turned away from Iris as he stood in front of the counter, his chest rising and falling with frustration as he tried to process what was happening. “I’m sorry,” Connor said slowly, his voice controlled but clearly strained, “but I don’t think you understand what you’re saying. You’re telling me that every single flight in this country has been stopped… just like that?” he said again.The flight attendant shifted slightly where she stood, her fingers tightening around the edge of the desk as she forced herself to remain calm under his intense gaze.“Sir,” she replied carefully, “I understand that this is frustrating, but I am only telling you what we have been instructed. All flights—both incoming and outgoing—have been suspended until further notice.” she repeated.Connor let out a short, disbelieving laugh as he ran his hand through his hair.“That doesn’t make any sense,” he said, his voice rising slightly. “How can one person just decide to shut down an entire country’s air

John Parker’s body jerked violently as consciousness slowly returned to him. A sharp, burning pain surged through his leg, forcing a low groan out of his throat as his eyes fluttered open.For a few seconds, his vision remained blurred, the ceiling above him spinning slightly as his mind struggled to piece together what had just happened.Then it hit him.Connor.His expression twisted instantly, anger replacing the haze of confusion. He clenched his teeth so hard that his jaw trembled, and with visible effort, he forced himself to sit upright despite the pain that shot through his wounded leg.“Where… are they?” he muttered under his breath, his voice rough and filled with rage.“They’re gone…” he said slowly, his voice darkening. “That bastard actually took her…”His breathing grew heavier as fury built inside him. He reached for his phone with slightly trembling hands and immediately dialed a number. The call rang twice before it was picked up.“Hello, sir?” a cautious voice came f

Connor remained on his knees, his hands raised in the air as instructed.while John Parker stood before him with that same dark, mocking smile stretched across his face. John slowly began to circle Connor, his shoes tapping softly against the floor as he moved with calculated confidence.“So this is what it has come to,” John said, his tone dripping with mockery. “The mighty Connor, reduced to kneeling on the ground like a helpless man.”Connor said nothing. His gaze remained fixed on Iris, carefully watching every slight movement of John Parker.John stopped directly in front of him and tilted his head. “Tell me,” he continued, “was it worth it? Coming all the way here just to end up like this?”Connor’s jaw tightened, but he remained silent.John leaned slightly closer. “Or did you think this was going to be some heroic rescue?” he added with a quiet chuckle.Iris swallowed hard. “Connor… don’t do anything reckless,” she whispered, her voice trembling.Connor’s eyes flickered towar

“But please… I am scared. He would kill me if I lead you there,” the guard still kept murmuring in fear.Connor interrupted him coldly. “If John Parker decides to kill all of you, that is his choice.”“I don't care what John Parker does to you,“Please,” the guard whispered desperately, “you do not understand what you are walking into.”Connor did not even glance at him. “Open the door.”“I… I cannot,” the man stammered. “There are internal cameras. If they see you—”Connor tightened his grip on the man’s collar and shoved him forward. “Then we will not give them time to react.”With a swift movement, Connor kicked the door open.The loud crash echoed through the entire suite.Inside, everything was quiet for a moment.Connor stepped in, his eyes scanning the wide, luxurious interior. The place was massive, decorated with expensive furniture and dim lighting that gave it an eerie calmness.The guard trembled beside him. “We should leave,” he whispered. “This is your last chance—”Con

Connor stood by the window for only a moment longer before making his decision. His expression hardened, and without another thought,he turned and walked out of the hotel room. The exhaustion in his body was still present, but it no longer mattered. His mind was fixed on one thing alone.“Iris is in there,” he muttered to himself as he stepped into the hallway. “And I am not leaving this city without her.”He took the elevator down and walked out of the hotel lobby into the night air. As he walked down the street, he raised his hand and stopped a passing taxi.The driver rolled down the window and looked at him curiously. “Where to, sir?”Connor leaned slightly toward the window. “Take me to the nearest place where I can buy a motorcycle.”The driver blinked in mild surprise before nodding. “Alright, get in.”Connor opened the door and slid into the back seat.As the taxi began to move, Connor spoke calmly. “I am new here in Monten.”The driver chuckled lightly. “That is obvious.”
Chapter 166
His eyes remained fixed on the screen while the reporter continued explaining the details of the wedding ceremony.The reporter continued to speak in a calm, professional tone.“The ceremony involving the billionaire John Parker and his newest bride took place earlier this morning at exactly seven o’clock.”Connor’s eyes narrowed slightly.He slowly turned his head toward the digital clock mounted beside the bed.The glowing numbers read 7:02 PM.Connor’s mind immediately calculated the difference.“Twelve hours,” he murmured quietly.Twelve hours had already passed since the wedding ceremony.Connor looked back at the television screen, his jaw tightening slightly.“Twelve hours is more than enough time to move someone far away,” he muttered.The reporter continued speaking.“Although John Parker is known for keeping his personal affairs extremely private, rumors have already begun circulating regarding the couple’s immediate honeymoon plans.”Connor grabbed the towel from his waist
