"How was your trip to the hospital?"
"It was alright.The chairman is having a speedy recovery, and I can see that he is feeling much better now," Max reported.
"That's good, but I need you to be vigilant."
"Certainly."
"By the way, have you found Conrad?"
"I'm afraid not," Max said.
"The man I've hired for the job hasn't returned, but I'm pretty sure we'll hear from him soon."
"Give him a call, so that we have an idea of what's going on," Jared ordered.
"Yes, Mr.Johnston."
As soon as Max took his phone out, the person whom he was about to call sent him a text message.
"I had Conrad secured and was about to bring him back to us, but I was assaulted by someone I couldn't recognize.We were both captured and thrown into a warehouse where they sliced my tongue.I was released, but I think they've taken Conrad away by now."
"Do you know where they're taking him? Have you managed to identify them?" Max texted back with his brows furrowed.
"No, they were all wearing masks," the man replied.
"They released me after they've sliced my tongue off, but I think the person who roughed me up had a pentagram tattoo on his arm.The other one looked like a ringleader of some sort.He was wearing a suit and a pair of expensive Leonardo shoes."
"Retrieve your tongue from the warehouse and get it reattached,"иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмMax advised.
"Then, go home and recuperate.I'll transfer the money to your bank account in a while."
After replying to that man's text messages, Max turned to face Jared with a solemn look.
"What happened?" Jared asked with his brows creased.
"One of our men just sent me a text, telling me that he was assaulted when he had finally managed to get his hands on Conrad.As for the latter, he is now being taken to God-knows-where.Our man got his tongue cut off too, but they released him.Thankfully, he was very observant.His attacker had a pentagram tattoo and the person who appears to be the one who had hired him was wearing a suit and Leonardo shoes," Max reported the entire incident to Jared.
Jared clenched his fists in anger.
"That pentagram tattoo and Leonardo shoes again.Here is the first order of business.Make sure that our man is well taken care of, and get some money transferred to him.Then, follow the lead that he has given us.I want to know who these two men are."
"Yes, Mr.Johnston."
"Be sure to get more people in for the job this time."
"Yes, Mr.Johnston."
"By the way, is there anything urgent for me to take care of in the office today?" Jared looked at Max and queried.
"No."
"Very well, In which case, you'll be following me to the hospital," Jared ordered.
"Yes, Mr.Johnston," Max replied.
Back in the Sea View Villa, Nicole was taking a rest in the bedroom when her phone buzzed as she received a message from Ike.
"Are you busy right now, Miss Riddle? Our research and development term has begun working on their tasks for quite some time now.Will you be able to pay us a visit anytime soon?"
Nicole was rather delighted to have received Ike's message.
"Hello, Ike.I have a lot on my plate right now, but I'll definitely be seeing you some other time.Besides, I really want to know your progress."
"Sure, we'll bring you over whenever you're available," Ike replied.
"We're already done with our initial preparations, so we're now moving onto the developmental phase in small teams."
"You're really quick and efficient.By the time I'm there, you've all probably already made tons of progress" she responded.
