Mlynar stood dumbfounded for some seconds, debating what to do. He then dialed Lapland's number."Hi Lapland, Cellinina was kidnapped right now at the three-way intersection. Call Jasmine and go there right now. Jasmine can trace where she is by her scent," he said.Lapland was confused, "What?! I'm sure you're there right now, why don't you trace her? You can do that also.""I have to go somewhere," he said."Where? When you witnessed her being kidnapped!" Lapland hauled."I'm sorry," Mlynar uttered and hung up the phone. He immediately stopped a taxi and drove to Cynthia's house.Mrs. Lucas was on her feet, sobbing, and rushed toward Mlynar as she saw him, "Please, please save my daughter.""Calm down and tell me what happened," he inquired.Riley chimed in, "She was kidnapped on our way to Mr. Robert, but they have called and demanded 500 million dollars in cash as ransom."Frodo intervened, his voice shaking, "you know all these kidnappers; they can kill even after you give them w

At the Quantum Unlimited Partner Nomination Banquet, where every corner is brightened by the beautiful light of the chandeliers, adorned with many flowers and well-set design. All seats were filled with influential and well-standard people, while the partner announcement was about to start.Cellinina's car stopped at the red carpet entrance of the banquet. She stepped out, and people marveled at the beauty of her dress. She wore a red gown split in the middle, revealing her long fair leg.A man, dressed in shiny black suit approached her."Hi, my name is Zheng. I am the son of Quantum Innovation and the only heir. Please take my hand, and let's go in beauty," he said, smiling and offering his hand.At the same time, Mlynar got out of the car, dressed impeccably for the first time since the last war. Every woman dropped their jaw."Can we go in, please?" Cellinina said, sliding her hand into his arm, recreating what she did in the Saluzzo banquet.Zheng fumed in anger, "I would have ma

Mlynar returned to the banquet with a smile on his face. He rushed towards Cellinina and nearly hugged her.Cellinina smiled, wondering what happened. "Have you successfully treated him?""Yeah… but not fully. I will continue treating him until he gets better," he stated.Cellinina nodded, "that is very good.""I have sealed a deal with President Lee. You will be chosen as their collaborator," he said.Cellinina was surprised, "Wow… thanks so much… how did you do it?""As compensation for saving his son," he answered.Cellinina frowned, "but I told you to ask for the olive leaves.""We have used some of it on his son, and you really need the position. Don't worry… I will ask Cynthia where she got the leaves," he said.He looked around and couldn't see Cynthia. Cellinina told him she ran out."Ran out? Hope nothing is wrong," he said.Cellinina's expression changed, and she looked straight into Mlynar's eyes. "Mlynar, let's go," she said and left the banquet while Mlynar rushed after h

Mlynar and Lapland assisted Mr. Saluzzo back home, gently lying him on the bed."You shouldn't have stressed yourself. I told you to have a good rest, and you will fully recover," Mlynar said."I have lived long enough. I'm not afraid of death but afraid of what will be the destiny of the family. I was presumed dead, and there is already an internal conflict," he murmured."Who told you about the situation in the company?" Mlynar asked."Lapland. I had no choice to come… Mlynar, no matter who you are, please protect my daughters, both of them," he requested.Mlynar nodded, "Yeah… I will. But before that, can you tell me what you are really afraid of? I could sense it. What you're scared of is more than the conflict between the family."Mr. Saluzzo was scared, but he didn't want to say it. It's better to remain discreet. He feared that they might return after he died.The door flung open, and Cellinina dashed in."Father…," she kneeled down beside him, "I'm… sorry.""I can see you are v

"Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee!" Director Xian called as he rushed to him, shaking his body as if he could bring him back to life."Can I take a look?" Mlynar requested, walking forward.He examined Mr. Lee and nodded, "He is dead. He died instantly after being stabbed by the poisonous knife."Director Xian called security, and the investigation team arrived within minutes.They were startled to see the gruesome scene. "What happened? How did it occur?" Liam, the head of the investigation, asked."We met him like this. I was with him some moments ago, then he asked me to step out because he wanted to do something. When I returned with the visitor he was expecting, we found him like this," Director Xian explained.Liam inspected the body and smelled the blood, "This is a technique used by the Black Shadow."Mlynar knew, but the Black Shadow had never just killed a person without a reason. They were assassins hired mostly by the Nearl family, his family."The Nearl family is behind this," Liam utte
