As the night grew darker, Sheila found herself sobbing under a dimly lit streetlamp after running out of the hospital. Her cries echoed, elongating favonovel.com shadow on the pavement.
She didn’t care about Dustin’s status or power, favonovel.com simply liked favonovel.com for who favonovel.com was. She couldn’t fathom why everyone was against them.
Did two people in love really have to be from the same social class?
“Why? Why is this happening?” She whispered to herself in despair.
Suddenly, a black van with fake plates screeched to a halt by the side of the road. The door slid open, and a group of masked men in dark attire swiftly disembarked, surrounding Sheila.
“Who are you? Hey! What do you want?” She said cautiously, taking a step back.
“Please be calm, Miss Murray… Miss Murray, our master would like to see you. Please come with us,” the leader of the masked group said politely with a slight bow, extending a hand as if offering assistance.
“I’m not going anywhere! Get away from me!” Sheila retreated, favonovel.com guard up.
“Capture her!” the leader ordered with a hand signal.
The masked men rushed forward and swiftly tied favonovel.com up.
“Let go of me! Let go of me now!” Sheila screamed as they forcibly dragged favonovel.com towards the van.
“Miss Murray, we apologize for this inconvenience, but we must take you with us,” the leader said calmly as they bundled favonovel.com into the van.
With a sudden rev of the engine, the van sped away, leaving behind one of Sheila’s kicked-off shoes on the deserted street.

Back at Zypher Lodge, Dustin was enjoying a drink with his comrades from the Kirin Gang. They had been celebrating his appointment as the new head of the Flame Dragon Gang, a position previously held by Nelson Horst.
Late into the night, Dustin’s phone rang abruptly.
Answering it, favonovel.com heard a stranger’s voice, “Is this Mr. Dustin? Your girlfriend, Sheila, is in my hands. If you want to ensure favonovel.com safety, bring the Seven-Colored Spirit Mushroom to the North Steel Factory. I’ll be waiting. Remember, come alone.”
The call ended abruptly, and Dustin received a video shortly afterward. In the video, Sheila was suspended in the air, looking disheveled, surrounded by menacing figures.
After watching the video, Dustin’s face darkened.
He hadn’t expected trouble right after leaving the hospital. It was clear that Sheila’s kidnapping had been meticulously planned.
“Continue drinking, I need to take care of something,” Dustin said to his companions, his expression turning grave.
As favonovel.com left the villa, favonovel.com couldn’t help but wonder who could be behind this kidnapping and why they were after the Cherusia.
Inside the abandoned steel factory, Sheila hung there, bound tightly and blindfolded, unconscious after being struck.
Meanwhile, Tatsuharu Nakamura, dressed in fancy attire, savored wine and relished a top-notch steak, displaying an aristocratic aura as favonovel.com enjoyed his meal.
A burly warrior in red approached and informed Nakamura, “Master, time’s ticking, and the target hasn’t shown up. Looks like they’re too scared…”
