410: Blood For Blood!
410: Blood For Blood!
Lily was very fast and efficient.
Nora was about to open her email inbox when violent knocking suddenly ca from the door.
Nora was surprised.
Pete slipped out of the bed and ran over to open the door.
It was Joel.
A puzzled Pete asked, “What’s the matter, Uncle Joel?” Joel was aware that Nora was always sleepy, and needed twelve hours of sleep a day.
Why would he co over and disturb her rest when it was only seven o’clock in the morning?
Joel asked, “Is your Mommy awake?
Can you wake her up?
I have sothing very important to talk to her about.” Nora, who had also realized the urgency of the matter, quickly changed and walked over.
“What’s wrong, Joel?” Joel frowned when he saw her.
He asked, “Quentin is missing.
Did you ask him to do anything for you?” Nora’s heart sank.
At last, she understood why Joel had co over so early in the morning.
A grave look ca over her countenance.
“I didn’t, but he went to the tournant arena last night.” She picked up her cell phone at this point, upon which she saw the two ssages that Quentin had sent her so ti past eleven o’clock the previous night.
However, the two ssages didn’t give her any clues.
She frowned.
“Might he be resting sowhere?” “No.” Joel spoke with certainty.
“Quentin’s identity is special.
There aren’t many people who know of his existence.
Because he only cos into contact with the people from Smiths’ secret forces, and everything he does is dangerous, he has to report his itinerary to on ti every day.
When I didn’t receive his report this morning, I knew at once that sothing has gone wrong.
It was only when I contacted the people from the secret forces that I found out Quentin had already lost contact with them last night!” The previous night… Nora wanted to ask more questions, but Joel had turned and gone downstairs.
“I’m going to the arena.” Nora did not dare to waste any ti.
She grabbed the baseball cap hanging at the side and put it on.
Then, she took a face mask and followed him downstairs.
A man was standing downstairs respectfully.
He looked relatively young, but he had an anxious look on his face at the mont.
When he saw Joel coming downstairs, he asked anxiously, “Mr.
Smith, is there any news about Boss?” Joel shook his head.
Nora, however, paused slightly.
By calling him ‘boss’… He must be Quentin’s subordinate.
She imdiately asked, “When did Quentin last contact you?” The subordinate replied, “At 11 o’clock last night.
After I told him that I had sothing to report to him, Boss said that he would co over imdiately.
I waited and waited, he didn’t show up.
Where did he go?” Nora frowned.
“Has this ever happened before?” Joel and the subordinate both replied, “Never!” Although Quentin looked like he had eighth-grader syndro, he was actually a very responsible man deep down.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have served the Smiths as a shadow hiding in the dark for so many years.
He handled things carefully and cautiously and had never made any mistake all these years.
But the more that was so, the deeper Nora’s heart sank.
To be honest, she was hoping that Quentin had just irresponsibly gone to an Internet cafe sowhere to have fun, or hidden sowhere to sleep in.
She took a deep breath and exchanged a look with Joel.
She said, “Let’s split up and look for him.” Joel nodded.
Nora left the manor and drove straight to the arena.
At the sa ti, she also made a call to the Quinn School of Martial Arts.
It was Lucas, the person in charge of the Quinn School of Martial Arts’s general affairs, who picked up.
He said, “You’re looking for this early in the morning, Big Sister?
What a rare occasion this is…” But before he could finish, Nora had already interrupted him.
She instructed, “Assemble everyone in the Quinn School of Martial Arts and launch a city-wide search for Quentin!
Aka Smithin from the tournant!” Lucas was taken aback.
“What happened?” Nora replied, “I suspect sothing has happened to him.” Lucas’s voice imdiately turned grave.
He said promptly and decisively, “Understood.” Lucas then said, “I will also contact the martial arts association and ask their staff to search for him.
We also have a lot of people taking part in the tournant.
Soone may have seen sothing…” “Okay.
Let know if you find out anything.
Keep your phone reachable at all tis!” “Understood.” After hanging up, Nora thought for a mont and called Justin.
New York was the Smiths’ and the Hunts’ turf.
Everyone in the Smiths was already out looking for Quentin.
If the Hunts also dispatched their n, they would have an even higher chance of finding Quentin.
She wasn’t going to care about whether it would embarrass the Smiths or the Hunts at a ti like this!
Justin picked up the call very quickly.
He was likely very awake.
He didn’t sound as teasing as usual, either.
Instead, his voice was low and deep as he asked seriously, “What’s wrong?” The fact that Nora had woken up so early was indicative that sothing must have gone wrong.
For so reason, Nora cald down when she heard his voice.
She stared ahead of her and slowly replied, “Quentin is missing.” Justin was undoubtedly one of the few who knew of Quentin’s existence.
Moreover, Justin and Quentin had fought side by side so many tis, so he was even more familiar with him than other people.
Justin didn’t say anything unnecessary.
He imdiately said, “Don’t worry, I will send everyone out to search for him right away.” “Yeah.” After Nora responded, she hesitated for a mont and kept quiet.
Justin asked, “Are you suspecting sothing?” Nora nodded, her eyes staring straight ahead of her in a daze.
“He went missing at the tournant, but there are far and few there who can beat him in a fight.
It’s very likely that he has been abducted by people from the Benevolence Hall.” Upon hearing that, Justin imdiately said, “I’ll head to the Benevolence Hall and ask for him!” “Okay.” At this point, Nora hesitated for a mont before she finally asked hoarsely, “Will… he be alright?” If the Benevolence Hall wanted the champion title in the tournant, they could just attack any of the mbers of Team Third In The World when they were alone!
This was what Nora had concluded after analyzing the situation!
She suddenly beca a little scared!
She was scared that sothing would really happen to Quentin… After all, a whole night had already passed!
When she thought of that, she said, “He asked to go with him to observe the match last night, but I didn’t…” For the first ti, she hated the way she needed so much sleep, leading to her not being by his side.
Perhaps because he could sense what she was thinking, Justin said, “The three of us aren’t joined at the hip.
There will always be tis when we are alone.” Nora knew that, but she simply couldn’t convince herself otherwise.
She stared straight ahead of her, bloodthirsty murderous intent forming in her eyes.
“If anything happens to Quentin, I will make the Benevolence Hall pay for it in blood!” Justin did not comfort her.
He rely said, “I will do it with you.” Half an hour after all their forces were dispatched.
Nora finally received a call from Justin.
“We’ve found him.” His voice was so low that Nora’s heart sank.
For so reason, anxiety arose in her.
Her voice was practically trembling as she asked, “Where is he?
Is he… still alive?”
