Chapter 1514 Ruthless Man
Sally kept mum.
She began to worry about Kyle. Is he going to die too?
“It’s getting late. You can leave now. Take over Seet Group as soon as possible. Don’t disappoint me.”
Sally’s expression turned grim. “Take good care of yourself,” she said and left.
Meanwhile, Juan and Saul cautiously walked along a narrow road.
“Something’s not right. We’ve been walking for so long now but found nothing. Where does this road lead to?” Juan asked.
Saul responded, “I’m not sure, Mr. Juan. That palace-like building which we came across earlier used to be Skyler’s residence, but we didn’t see Steven and Sally in it.”
There must be other buildings here that can accommodate them.
Using the torchlight on their phones to light up the path, the two men continued their journey.
About half an hour later, what they saw had rendered them speechless. Saul exclaimed, “We’ve come out!”
Juan was just as surprised. He lifted his head, looked at the moon that hid behind the clouds, and took a glance at the forest around him. “I can’t believe this is the exit. This place is like a maze! It’d be difficult for us to locate Steven even if they are here.”
“What should be we do now? Shall we go back?” Saul asked.
“I don’t think we can find anything today. Let’s go back and rest. We’ll get someone’s help to map out the area before taking the next step.” Juan then turned on the Global Positioning System on his phone and continued walking.
After a long day, he finally returned to Imperial Garden.
The moment he stepped into the house, he asked a maid, “Is Sally back?”
The maid replied, “Yes, she reached home an hour ago. Do you want to see her, Mr. Juan?”
An hour ago? I can’t believe she reached home earlier than me.
Our stalking mission failed miserably!
Steven must have poured his blood, sweat, and tears to build the underground secret room. He’s definitely no ordinary man.
It’s not going to be easy for Seet Group to take him down.
The next day, Juan told Kyle about this in the office.
Juan said, “I can’t figure out the mind games Steven is playing. I thought he’d feel sorry for his son and might propose to exchange him with Mommy. I’m surprised that he managed to keep his cool. Come to think of it, he’s just like Daddy!”
“Yes. We have to be extra mindful of this man,” Kyle responded.
Juan thought about it and continued, “Why don’t we kidnap Sally too since she’s on our watch? Let’s use both of his children to pressure him to give us Mommy, and we’ll take it from there!”
Kyle lifted his head and looked at Juan. “What if Steven refuses to cooperate?”
“Refuse? We’re talking about his son’s and daughter’s lives! You mean to say he’s willing to sacrifice his children?”
“But what if? What if he could care less about his children and is determined to die with the Seets?”
Juan could imagine how calm Steven would be when Sally and Skyler died before his eyes.
He also saw an image of how Nicole died at the hands of Steven and the bloodbath that took place at that time.
Juan felt as if his heart was being torn apart.
Kyle’s concern is valid. Steven might be ruthless enough to sacrifice others in the name of revenge.
“What can we do to stop the disaster?” Juan’s expression darkened.
“We can’t run away from this anymore. We have to figure out his secret and his plan before we can work on our next move. And we must also think of ways to rescue Mommy as soon as possible.”
