Thirty burly men were also present in the barely lit warehouse, maintaining a bit of distance from the two young men but were still positioned protectively around the two young men.

The young men were none other than Patrick Schick and his very good friend, Victor Russ.

There was also a chair in the warehouse, and a very beautiful lady was tied roughly to the chair, her head covered with a black bag. The lady was of course Charlotte.

Nicolas Nicolas inquired while maintaining an extremely icy demeanor. "Mr. Jin Horton is the Chief Financial Officer of Clinton Group." Charlotte replied respectfully, but the traces of confusion could be heard in her tone. Jason's face paled even more, and the terrifying thought in his head grew even more terrifying.
