Ethan parked his vehicle at a restaurant that seemed quite far from his apartment. Beside him in the passenger seat was a girl about his sister's age."Is this the place?" Ethan asked, turning to the girl.With an innocent face and breath just starting to steady, Natalia nodded, unbuckling the seatbelt that had restrained her.She trailed right behind Ethan, following wherever his footsteps took him.Ethan walked into the restaurant, scanning the area to take in the scene, trying to find his sister or any suspicious people.Nothing. Instead of getting information about his sister, Ethan was approached by a waiter.She carried a pen and other items, assuming Ethan would be a customer at the restaurant."Excuse me, but I'm looking for my sister. Did you see a girl being dragged by some big guys out front earlier?" Ethan asked the woman.The waitress furrowed her brow, trying to remember what she had seen a while ago, before finally shaking her head."No, sir. I don't think I saw any com

Ethan stared intently at the man in front of him.They were now in the CCTV room. The man was seen opening each CCTV that contained recordings."Were you here on the night of the incident? Did you see anyone wearing this hoodie?" Ethan asked in his characteristic intimidating tone. He seemed to place hope in the man, if only he could provide an answer to Ethan.The man fell silent before finally shaking his head, indicating he didn't know.A long sigh escaped Ethan's mouth. Once again, his hopes dissipated into thin air while reality continued to slap him with the fact that everything wasn't as he had expected."Then, what did you mean by the word 'betray' earlier?" Ethan asked suspiciously.The man, who was now facing away from him, remained silent, making Ethan suspicious of what was happening with him."Actually, there was a malfunction with this CCTV that day, sir. I apologize, but at that time, the repair money for this CCTV had quite a large excess for me. I didn't return it to

Ethan tried to close his eyes, but thoughts about his sister's condition, which might not be as calm as his mind, kept waking him up.In the end, Ethan still couldn't rest peacefully."How can I possibly do all this," Ethan muttered to himself.He rubbed his face roughly, messing up his hair repeatedly.Ethan hadn't checked his phone in a while, but he hoped there would be a message different from that system message coming in.Ethan stared at his phone screen for quite some time, but the result was still nothing, there was nothing there."Seems pointless. There's nothing here," Ethan mumbled, realizing his efforts hadn't yielded any results.A long sigh escaped his mouth, his thoughts seeming to wander somewhere.He wanted to be calm, to find his sister as soon as possible, but fate seemed to be toying with him.Until now, Ethan may have complained about his economic condition, but if his finances remained good yet he had to lose his sister like this.Then what's the use of all his w

Richard arrived at Martin's residence in a remarkably short time.The man didn't hesitate to burst in, driving recklessly until he was chased by several of Martin's men.Bang!Some bodyguards chasing Richard then hit the man's car hard, looking angry because he entered without permission.With full courage and without a hint of fear, Richard got out of his car.His gaze looked challenging towards the bodyguards who outnumbered him, and their builds were beyond description.Even one bodyguard facing Richard was no match for the man."How dare you enter without permission! Do you think you have the right to do that?!" growled the bodyguard with the biggest build.Although his heart felt a little afraid of that growl, Richard's determination to meet Amel and save the woman made him reluctant to follow his heart's advice to just leave."Where is Mr. Martin? I need to see him. He dared to kidnap my girl without my permission first," Richard explained to Martin's men.They seemed to ignore

Ethan arrived at the place that had been recommended by the security guard. The sound of music that echoed to the disco jedag-jedug from inside the club began to be heard outside the club room. It was unimaginable how noisy it was in there. In the past, Ethan never thought he could enter a nightclub like this. He was sure that one hundred percent or even a thousand percent, Amel would scold him if she knew how depraved he was. However, Ethan really had no other choice. This was the only thing Ethan could do to get the peace he couldn't find since last night. "I'm sorry, Amel." Ethan realized that, even more than that, he should have focused more on finding Amel. However, his lack of opportunity and other evidence that could lead him to her made Ethan even more frustrated. He promised to stop coming to the club and drinking as long as he could meet Amel. A long sigh escaped Amel's mouth, her steps heavy with guilt for the girl. There was a banner in front of the club indicati
