Chapter 1016 Kidnapped
“How long have you been standing here, hmm?”
The moment he opened the door, Shadow was already outside. That could only mean the latter was there from the start.
“One night.”
Donald looked at Shadow with a hint of concern. “If you have something to say, just come in and talk to me, or you could send me a text. There's no need to stand outside all night, right?”
“I'm used to it.”
Hearing Shadow's words, Donald was deeply moved.
Back when he was in Quadfield, there would be quite a few creatures from other dimensions launching night raids.
Back then, Shadow would often stand outside all night, enduring hardship just to ensure Donald could rest properly.
Although standing all night wouldn't cause any harm to her body as a cultivator, she still felt the expected fatigue.
“You don't have to do that in the mansion moving forward. If you stay up all night, where will you get the energy when I need you to accompany me on errands in the evening?”
Hearing Tang Guang say this, Shadow responded with a hum of acknowledgment.
Subsequently, Shadow handed a photo to Donald and said, “Raphael has been kidnapped.”
“What?”
Donald took the photo from Shadow's hand and, sure enough, he saw Raphael with his eyes covered, sitting on a chair, seemingly saying something.
Fortunately, Raphael was not subjected to any abuse, and there were no signs of injury on his body.
“Is Raphael's security really that poor? Was he kidnapped so effortlessly?”
Those who had the ability to mine spirit stones, logically speaking, should never be short of money.
In the modern world, as long as one has money, one can find oneself a highly-skilled bodyguard. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
If he had found a powerful bodyguard, how could such a thing possibly happen?
“He was kidnapped by his own bodyguards. Driven by greed, they conspired with Sole Wolf. Together, they orchestrated the abduction of Raphael.”
Hearing Shadow's words, Donald no longer found it strange.
So it turns out that the traitor was right beside him all along. There's nothing more to say, then.
“I remember Sole Wolf as a Class A mercenary organization. When did they start doing such dirty work?”
Typically, mercenary organizations took great care of their own reputation.
That was because if they were simply mercenaries, then it wasn't considered illegal internationally.
However, if this mercenary organization engaged in illegal activities such as robbery and assassination, it would be placed on the international blacklist, and everyone in the organization would be classified as dangerous individuals.
For a long period of time, Sole Wolf was active in Zaewora, consistently participating in proxy wars.
Normally, their mercenary organization would look down upon something like kidnapping.
After all, kidnapping someone wasn't as profitable as participating in the proxy war.
But now, the situation was different.
Raphael's fortune was indeed worth their risk.
The thought of Raphael being one of his few friends made it impossible for Donald to stand by and do nothing.
He said to Shadow, “Arrange it on your end. Send someone to rescue him as soon as possible.”
Shadow looked at Donald and said, “However, according to our latest intelligence, among those who kidnapped Raphael, there are two Manipulator Realm experts. If we only send an ordinary Stella Warrior, there's a high chance of failure.”
“So, what are you implying?”
“Either you go, or I go.”
Shadow's ability was about the same as Donald's.
So, any problem that Donald could solve, Shadow could handle as well.
To ensure a foolproof plan to rescue Raphael, one of them must be involved.
“I'll go. Jennifer is at a crucial stage of her pregnancy right now, and I don't want anything to go wrong.”
Just as Donald finished speaking, Jennifer's voice came from not far away.
