They all got dressed and left immediately for the family mansion.As they got there they met other members of the family already seated with gloomy expressions written on their faces.Henry and his father came almost immediately after them.“I came as soon as I heard. How did this happen? Have they gotten in touch with anyone yet?” He asked with a worried look.“I think we should get in touch with the police department to find out what we can do to bring back father,” Henry's father responded, seeing that no one was saying anything.“Yes uncle, I agree with you. Time is of the essence here. I think the police should start by questioning that punk, Ethan Banks. It seems he was at the scene of the crime when grandfather was kidnapped,” Lilith smiled secretly knowing that her words would spark some controversy, especially with Henry.“Yes, that's right. Though the other men wore masks so no one could recognize them, we saw Ethan in the news and he was there when grandfather was kidnapped

The police officer quickly thought for a second, wondering if what he was about to do was the right thing, “Maybe I should call for backup. It's good enough that we know where the kidnappers have Mr. Campbell. These men could be armed and dangerous.”The police officer was content with just finding the kidnappers, afterall he would still get some credit for locating where the kidnappers were holding Mr. Campbell.“There's no time for that. Besides, there is a good chance that they could kill Mr. Campbell out of panic if any more policemen come here. We are better off taking care of this on our own quietly.” Ethan could sense the police officer's nervousness.“Relax, I won't let anything happen to you.”The police officer sneered at Ethan, “Who do you think you are? Don't make me change my mind and have you arrested. I could still do that.”“Haha…. that's not happening. So are we doing this or not,” Ethan gave him a frightening stare, causing the police officer to almost piss on himsel

Loretta picked up the box tucked under the table and she ran her hands through it.“I wonder what's in this box,” she whispered as she struggled to open the box without success.After struggling with the box for a while, she decided to return it to where she had picked it from.“I'll just have to wait for him to return. I hope he is alright.”***Ethan and the police officer were inside the building along with Griffin and the kidnappers. They took a few minutes to listen to what the kidnappers were saying. They had Mr. Campbell blindfolded but they spoke quite loudly so he could hear what they were saying.“Mr. Banks made everything so easy for us. He's the real mastermind. The offshore account is brilliant,” one of the kidnappers praised Ethan.“Now I can travel to any part of the world and live like a king for the rest of my life with the generous amounts he'll be paying us,” another one added with what appeared to be joy, written on his face.“Who is this Mr. Banks? He must be thei

There was a loud sound as Ethan dished out a deafening slap to the first one that charged towards them.One of the kidnappers disarmed the police officer and pointed the gun at him but Ethan's lightning-fast reflexes stunned the police officer as he easily retrieved the gun and landed a kick that sent the fierce-looking man crashing into some clustered drums.“Why is he still breathing? How can you all be this incompetent?” Their leader yelled as Ethan grabbed another by the throat, squeezing him till he fell unconscious.The next one did some fancy moves that made the leader smile with excitement.“That's more like it. I taught him that a year ago. Let's see just how….”He paused in the middle of his statement as Ethan stopped the punch coming his way with a special two-finger technique that caused the leader of the group to cringe in fear.“What? How did you do that? Who taught you that?” He asked, unable to comprehend how Ethan had stopped a very powerful punch with only two finger

Both Lucas and Lilith stared at James with wide eyes.“Why do you say that?” Lucas asked his father nervously.“That's what my gut tells me.” Lucas' phone suddenly began to ring, “It's Griffin!” He yelled excitedly before answering the call.“Hey buddy, what's going on with those guys you arranged for us, we've been unable to reach them and your number wasn't also connecting.”“I'm sorry. Seems they chose a place with very bad network reception for security reasons. I had to go look for them myself when I was unable to reach them over the phone,” Griffin gave a very convincing response.“My Dad is really pissed with you guys. Why did they ask for 1.2 billion dollars huh? Was that the agreement?”“What? I didn't know that's what they asked for. I guess they got too greedy and tried to take advantage of the situation but I'll make sure everything comes to guys.” Griffin’s assurances calmed everyone.“So how long will it take for the money to be ready?” Griffin asked him.“In a little w

Lucas drove with his father and Lilith to the Campbells' mansion to inform them that the money had been paid and that they were going to pick up Mr. Morrison.They left shortly afterwards and soon they arrived at the address that Griffin had texted to them and they all alighted from the vehicle.Lucas took a quick look at his phone and smiled, “The network reception here is really bad. These guys must be extremely cautious.”Lilith held Lucas' hand as they all strolled into the building.Meanwhile, Tim quickly sent Ethan another message to inform him of their presence. Since the network within that area had been taken out by the device that Tim was holding, Ethan and the police officers had to use a special device to communicate.The leader of the group and his men were all sitting and sipping some beer when Lucas walked in with Lilith and his father.“Stop there all of you and show me your hands.” The leader commanded.“We are here to get my father. You have your money already, so re

Ethan wondered who the sender of the message was as read the message again while trying not to worry Loretta by allowing the content of the message to bother him.The message was a warning from someone unfamiliar to him telling him that he was going to lose someone precious to him for taking away someone precious from them.“Who could this be?” He whispered to himself, furrowing his eyebrows.“Is there a problem, you look disturbed?” Loretta interrupted his thoughts.“Oh, it's nothing. Sorry, I was just a little distracted,’’ he responded with a wide smile, trying to hide the concern that she spotted on his face.“You would be surprised what money can cause people to do,” he quickly responded to her comment about the Campbells.Loretta stared at him for a second wondering if he was telling the truth about him being alright but then she just concluded that it was probably due to him being really tired.“I'm glad we had the chance to try out our new frequency jamming device and in the p

Jimmy Larson suddenly took keen interest in Ethan as he watched the Cedarwood Police Department acknowledge his help in catching Mr. Morrison’s kidnappers.“Take it easy,” he yelled as one of the girls ran her fingers all over his body.“Let's take this party to my room,” he stood up to leave but his phone rang, causing him to stop briefly.“Have you seen the news yet?” The voice at the other end asked in a feminine voice.“Yes, I have. He doesn't look that tough to me,” Jimmy boasted.“All I want are assurances that you would give me what I've always wanted if I take care of this problem for you.”“You have them. I just hope you won't let me down” the voice at the other end responded before ending the call.Jimmy licked his lips in anticipation.All he had to do was to break the legs of Ethan and he would have her all to himself.His plan was to have her for good but he knew he had to take things one step at a time and right now all he wanted to do was to have a good time with the la

Gripping the club, Chuck suddenly swung it hard in Ethan’s direction, aiming for his head, but Ethan's sturdy grip easily caught the club in mid-air.Chuck struggled to retrieve the club from Ethan's powerful grip but all his efforts were in pain.“Is that all you've got?” Ethan suddenly asked after watching Chuck struggle to retrieve the club from his grip.Chuck’s frustration was immediately palpable as he tried to land a punch on Ethan’s face but Ethan stopped it with only one finger and swung the club at Chuck's face.“Bang!” In another second Chuck was on the ground with blood oozing freely from his mouth.All the other customers who had initially looked down on Ethan, suddenly gawked at him.“You've simply been a pawn, so I'll spare you and your men. Leave now and don't ever come back!” Ethan warned Chuck as he and his men struggled to get to their feet.Mr. Orlando was also about to leave but Ethan stopped him, “Not you!

Mr. Orlando’s discomfiture was palpable as he clenched his fists in rage, almost launching an attack on Chuck, “You moron, what do you think you are doing?”He yelled at Chuck who simply frowned, “We have a bit of a setback but I'm handling it. I was just about to put this poor fool in his place before you showed up!” Chuck responded, ignoring Mr. Orlando's outburst.Mr. Orlando gritted his teeth. It was almost impossible for him to deny his involvement any longer, “You had a very simple task! Take the money quietly and leave, yet you blew it, you and your incompetent crew!” Mr. Orlando ended his statement, with an irritated expression on his face.Loretta couldn't contain her shock! She and several other customers, including Gabriella, gawked at Ethan and Mr. Orlando.“Let me guess, the last robbery incident here was also planned but you took the fall for it while Orlando here pulled some strings to get you out!” Ethan responded glaring at both Orlando and Chuck.“I'm also guessing t

“What was I even thinking when I turned down his proposal initially?” Clarissa asked herself, smiling as she watched the security guard preparing to hit Ethan with his baton.Ethan’s unwavering gaze remained fixated on Darius, even though he was speaking to the security guard, “I would think carefully about my next step if I were you!”The security guard chortled, “What's there to think about? I have the backing of Mr. Darius! Besides, what can a nobody like you do to me, huh?”A well-dressed man came out of the building at that instant wearing a discombobulated expression on his face, “What the heck is going on here?”The security guard wore an excited look as soon as he saw his boss, “Sir, I'm glad you are here! I was just about to call to inform you of Mr. Darius' arrival.”Clarissa chuckled, “Darius is a very important fellow, even the executive director of the museum came out to personally welcome him.
