Amur walked past him and warned him in a low voice, “You should be grateful that Boss needs the money for investment at the
moment. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let you stay alive in exchange for money."
Pierre listened to Amur's threat. He could not help but shiver in fear.
The man who set Pierre's broken leg could not help but mock him. "Weren't you trying to get rid of us? Why are you afraid now?"
"Shut up!" Pierre warned spitefully.
"Tsk. What he said was true. You should be glad that our boss is making some investments. Otherwise, you would've been dead
yesterday." The man shot a glance at Amur.
Amur was a man who would kill someone without blinking an eye. Basically, he was able to complete all the missions assigned
to him.
Hence, if he was assigned to kill Pierre yesterday, Pierre would not have just gotten a broken leg.
Amur pressed his hand on Pierre's shoulder and said, "Be careful next time. Offending us won't do you any good."
Pierre grimaced in pain when he was pressed on the spot where it hurt. "Let go of me."
Amur lifted his hand and said to the man, "Mr. Pierre's shoulder is injured too. Take a look at it if you have the time to do so."
"I'm busy. Boss told me to set his leg. He didn't ask me to treat his shoulder." The man shook his head.
Amur could not be bothered that much and immediately left.
Pierre listened as Amur's footsteps faded away as he walked further. He turned to look at the man in front of him and asked,
"Who's that man?"
The man would certainly not answer him. He gave Pierre a dirty look as though he was laughing at his ignorance. "Do you even
deserve to know his name?"
Pierre could not help but feel aggrieved. That man could not be more than just a killer carrying out his missions.
How could the second young master of the Mallory family not deserve to know who he was?
"How do you place an order?" asked Pierre. Even though Abel refused to accept his offer to work together, he could still put a hit
on Luke and Percy.
He would request them to send the man who left a moment ago to murder them.
It did not matter to him if he and Luke ended up in a lose-lose situation.
“Mr. Pierre, I thought you were investigating us, no? Stop wasting your time. We're not going to do business with you. Get your
sh*t together." After the man set his leg, he did what Amur did and patted his right shoulder.
"Ouch. You!" Pierre lifted his head angrily.
The man shrugged his hands and mocked him, "Oops, I'm sorry. I forgot you were injured."
Before Pierre lost his temper, the man picked up the piece of cloth beside him and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Boss doesn't like it when it's loud. Mr. Pierre, keep it down."
Pierre indignantly watched the man leave. He was tied to a chair, unable to move, with a piece of cloth stuffed into his mouth.
He had never been humiliated like this!
The seeds of hatred in Pierre's heart began to grow and sprout.
Not only did they want his money, but they even tried to trample on his dignity!
That was not going to happen!
Pierre would take revenge on everyone here if he could get out of here alive. He would punish the man who kidnapped him, the
man who asked him for money, and the man who stuffed the piece of cloth into his mouth!
He would not let those who mocked him and looked down on him get away with it!
Pierre swore to himself as he watched the man leave from behind.
On the other hand.
Amur drove in the direction of A City after he left the stronghold.
Meanwhile, in A City, the Mallory family was in chaos after they confirmed that Pierre had been kidnapped.
The Mallory family's chauffeur was at the hospital. He sent a message to Mr. Bennet, telling him that triazolam and ketamine
were found in Oswald's and Flynn's blood samples. They were some of the ingredients contained in drugs to make one lose
consciousness and put one to sleep.
Thus, it proved that Oswald and Flynn were not lying. They did not realize Pierre was taken away because they were drugged.
They were a hundred percent sure that Pierre had been kidnapped.
Madam Mallory almost lost her balance and fell onto the ground when she found out about it. The maid beside her immediately
came forward to help her and said in a low voice, "Madam, please take a seat. Don't worry. Perhaps it's not a kidnapping."
"Where can Pierre go if he wasn't kidnapped? He's a free man. There's no need to drug the other two men even if he wanted to
go out." Madam Mallory sat on the sofa with one of her hands propping up her temple.
Her temples were pounding and hurting as her blood pressure rose.
"Get me my antihypertensive pills," instructed Madam Mallory. She knew she might pass out if she did not take the medicine
now.
"Okay." The maid immediately opened the drawer beside the TV cabinet and took the antihypertensive pills before handing them
to her. "Madam, place a pill under your tongue."
It was not Madam Mallory's first time taking such medicine. She took the pill the maid handed to her and placed it under her
tongue to dissolve it.
The medicine worked fast. Madam Mallory could feel her body lighter half an hour later. She was not feeling drowsy anymore.
Madam Mallory knew she had to keep a cool head if she wanted Pierre to return safely.
"Madam, are you feeling better now?" The maid was attentive enough to notice the changes in her appearance.
"Yes." Madam Mallory regulated her breath and asked Mr. Bennet, "Did those men who were sent to District 15 find anything?"
"Madam, our men reported that the house is in a mess. Other than the knife on the floor, there's no sign of a violent struggle,"
reported Mr. Bennet.
Old Master Mallory sat there, listening to their conversation. However, he had not spoken a word about it since he found out that
Pierre had been kidnapped.
He would not make a move to look for Pierre either.
Mr. Bennet reckoned that the old master was still upset.
It was understandable if Old Master Mallory was still mad at Pierre. Still, Pierre's life mattered more than anything else now. Mr.
Bennet thought the old master should not let anger take over him at this moment.
No one knew what was wrong with Old Master Mallory. He listened to their conversation, but he said nothing.
"Is there any blood at the scene?" Madam Mallory's heart jolted for a moment when she heard that there was a knife. She was
worried that Pierre was injured.
"No. Oswald said that Mr. Pierre used that knife to defend himself. He always kept it under his pillow, but it was on the floor this
time. That was how he knew that Mr. Pierre was in trouble," answered Mr. Bennet.
"Then what about the security cameras? Did they find anything?" Madam Mallory immediately asked. Even though she had no
idea who took Pierre away, she had to know where those men took Pierre.
Mr. Bennet replied with an awkward look on his face, "Madam, it's an old street, and it's near the outskirts of the city. There aren't
many security cameras installed there. Our men have already asked for permission from the relevant department to get the
surveillance footage, but some of the surveillance footage belongs to the shops nearby. That place is nothing more than a
wretched hive of scum and villainy. They do shady businesses at night. I'm afraid we'll have to wait until nighttime to get the
surveillance footage from them."
Their subordinates were not familiar with the area there. That was why they had no idea who the owners of the shops were and
how to contact them.
The residents staying in the area did not know about it either. They said it was normal for the owners of the shops to close their
businesses and sell them to others due to the business slump.
They had no idea who were the current owners as it was something that happened quite often.
