Trent had already lost his son. He didn’t want to sacrifice his daughter’s happiness and future as well. As such, he wouldn’t mind being the bad guy, even if it meant betraying his brother.
“Dad! I knew you had it in you!” Kate was very happy when Trent agreed to her plan. “I believe we can solve any issue when we work together as father and daughter!”
Everything else would fall into place once she had convinced her father. “Kate, I accept your idea on one condition. You can’t put your uncle’s life in danger.” Trent gave her a stern warning.
“Don’t worry, Dad. I’m only doing it for the treasure map. If Uncle Hector surrenders the map to us, I won’t hurt him, of course,” Kate promised immediately.
However, if he refused to cooperate, they couldn’t blame her if she decided to be inhumane.
“Very well, I feel a lot better with your guarantee.” Trent nodded.
He continued, “Anyway, we still have another problem. There’s a very competent martial artist protecting Hector in secret. With our capabilities now, the chances of succeeding are slim.”
If they had more time, he could have hired a martial arts master to help them. But it was obviously too late now.
“Dad, I know of someone who should be able to help us,” Kate said suddenly. “Really? Who is it?” Trent was a little curious.
“Vlad Grant!” Kate said with a smile.
“Vlad? Isn’t he a trust-fund baby? How would he help us?” Trent frowned slightly.
Vlad might be Tyler’s brother, but he wasn’t as competent and powerful as Tyler. The brothers were as different as night and day.
“Dad, you underestimated him.” Kate shook her head. She added, “Vlad might not be like Tyler, but he’s very well-connected.
“In addition to knowing a lot of martial arts masters, he has a huge following in the martial world. Abducting Uncle Hector will not be a problem with his help!”
“What do you plan to do?” Trent wanted to know.
“A magician never reveals their secret! Kate gave him a mysterious smile and said, “Dad, why don’t you rest in the living room. I’ll be back soon.”
She left as soon as she said that. After half an hour, Kate knocked on Vlad’s door with a plate of steaming ravioli in her hands.
“Kate, what brings you here?” Vlad’s eyes lit up as soon as he opened the door. Kate was very pretty as she inherited the good genes of the Harmon family. Her looks and physique were exquisite. For a hot-blooded young man, she was definitely a huge temptation.
“Vlad, I heard that you were injured yesterday. I came here to see you.” Kate flashed him a seductive smile and walked into his room without waiting for his invitation.
She put down the plate of ravioli and cutlery on the table and said, “I think you look hungry? Here, I made these myself. Come try it.”
“Is that so? I must really savor it then.” Vlad immediately sat down with a grin and started stuffing his face.
He kept his eyes on his future sister-in- law as he ate the ravioli. He appeared very greedy as he looked at Kate’s voluptuous body up and down with his burning gaze.
“How do you like the dish?” Kate acted as if nothing was happening and smiled brightly as she sat beside Vlad.
“It’s really good! You make really good ravioli!” Vlad nodded vigorously with a face filled with anticipation. Since they were sitting closely, he could clearly smell Kate’s fragrance. It was very irresistible.
“I’m happy that you like it. I’ll make more when I’m free.” Kate said with a smile.
“Thank you, Kate!” Vlad swallowed his saliva as his eyes shone brightly.
