Chapter 362: Kidnapping
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Quince Larson couldn’t feel more embarrassed. He had acquired a company, but it was completely empty.
Worse still, that wasn’t all. On the very same day, a new company was established in San Francisco.
It was named Mortal Corporation, and all of the Larson Corporation’s resigned employees had chosen to join that company. More interestingly, this company’s chairman was the Larson Corporation’s ex-chairman—Yvette Larson!
This meant that Yvette Larson and her employees were simply working under another name, while Quince Larson had lost 500 million dollars!
That wasn’t a small sum, and he had pretty much finished spending all of the money he received from Gremlin.
The men couldn’t help but smile as they watched the livestream. “My respect for Yvette has really gone through the roof.”
“Only today? I started admiring her a long time ago.”
“F*ck, stop trying to flatter her.”
Everyone was in high spirits when Finn Taylor suddenly received a message: “Give up your position as Master Peregrine or get ready to receive your mother’s corpse.”
Finn Taylor shot up at once, and the room suddenly fell silent.
Hunter Sullivan asked, “What’s wrong, Finn?”
“Melanie Taylor sent a message over. We were right—she’s the one who kidnapped Wendy Jensen. She wants me to step down from my position as Master Peregrine; otherwise, she’ll kill my mother.”
The men were enraged. No matter what, they still had a relationship with Wendy Jensen.
Now that Finn Taylor had already made it clear that they were to save her, they had to do so.
“What are you going to do?”
“I’m going to the hotel to take a look,” Finn Taylor said as he headed out.
Not daring to delay any longer, the rest rushed out after him. They were all well-trained, but Melanie Taylor’s men were much stronger.
They had learned that lesson the hard way. Still, they weren’t planning on giving up. They were prepared to fight it out with the Taylor siblings.
Finn Taylor and his men headed straight for Melanie Taylor’s room upon arriving at the hotel.
Completely ignoring the staff, they kicked the door open but were greeted by an empty room. Everything—including their luggage—was gone!
This meant that the whole entourage had left the hotel!
The hotel’s security team had already gotten news that a room door had been forcefully kicked open, and very soon, dozens of security officers surrounded the group.
At the head of the security team was the manager of the hotel.
“Leonard, I don’t think there’s a need to bring so many to take me down, right?”
The four guardians had already prepared themselves for a fight, but they quickly calmed down when they recognized the manager.
“Hunter Sullivan, you’re the one who kicked the door open! Do you have too much time on your hands? Why are you making trouble here?”
Hunter Sullivan pointed at the room. “I have a grudge against the person who stayed here, so I came to look for them. Tell me how much the door costs—we’ll pay for it.”
“Don’t joke around with me, Mr. Sullivan. How much could a door be worth? I’m sure you had your reasons for doing this. Forget it.”
“No, I don’t like owing others anything. How much is it?” Hunter Sullivan wouldn’t let the matter go. It wasn’t a huge matter, but it wasn’t a trivial one either.
He would be at a disadvantage if the other asked him for a favor because of this in the future.
Logan Yeats was a businessman and naturally understood his friend. Thus, he didn’t try to stop him.
“Just give me 150 dollars.”
“Here’s 750 dollars to cover the installation fee and the money you’ll lose during this period.” Hunter Sullivan took out the money and placed it on a fire extinguisher.
The manager couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly. ‘Hunter Sullivan is so acute. He would rather take a loss now than face a greater loss in the future.’
“Leonard, we’re friends. Do you know where these people went?”
The manager smiled. “Mr. Sullivan, you must be joking. How would I know where these guests went?”
“Alright then. I won’t disturb you.” Hunter Sullivan then nodded slightly at his boss, who didn’t say anything as he left with everyone.
The group headed for Andre Cavill’s bar.
“What do you guys think?” Finn Taylor asked the rest once they sat down.
“That manager definitely knows something.” Hunter Sullivan got straight to the point. He had been in the industry for a long time and had experienced loads, so he could tell whether someone was lying at first glance. Due to this, he was absolutely certain that the manager knew where the Taylor siblings had gone.
“Think of a way to make that manager spill the truth.”
Hunter Sullivan glanced at Andre Cavill. “Just kidnap them.”
The latter frowned. “Don’t joke around.”
“Who’s joking? I know Leonard; he’s a coward. As long as you kidnap him and bring him here, I’ll have a way of making him tell the truth.”
Andre Cavill glanced at his boss, hoping that the latter would save him from the situation.
Unexpectedly, his boss pointed at Hunter Sullivan and said, “Alright then. Both of you should go. It’ll be safer that way.”
“Me?” Hunter Sullivan was stunned. ‘I only asked Andre Cavill to go because I don’t want to, but I still have to do it!?’
“Um, can I not go?” Hunter Sullivan asked.
“It’s too late, Hunter. You didn’t seem so worried earlier on when you asked me to go. Come on; let’s go.” It seemed like Andre Cavill’s mood had improved because his friend had to suffer alongside him.
He dragged the latter out.
Very quickly, they arrived at the hotel, waiting for the manager to get off work at ten.
Because it was still some time away, the two men sat in front of a flower bed at the hotel entrance to smoke.
Afraid that they were thieves, the security officers made several rounds around them. But after realizing that they were merely smoking, they left the pair alone.
Finally, the manager emerged a few hours later.
Seeing the man, the two friends rushed up as though they were welcoming a family member.
