James had been resting in a room on the second floor of Cynthia’s villa. Throughout the day, favonovel.com came down to have something to eat.
After eating, favonovel.com headed back to his room. He sat in a lotus position, meditating and cultivating his True Energy.
The night passed by silently.
***
The following day, James called the Blithe King and Jay for updates. Unfortunately, favonovel.com could not find the person suspected to be his grandfather through either official or underground intelligence networks.
James got dressed and went downstairs.
Cynthia and Maxine had already woken up.
“James…” The two women greeted him.
He nodded and sat down on the sofa.
Maxine asked, “How is it? Is there any news from the Blithe King?”
James shook his head and said, “No. The person who took Tiara seems to have vanished and is untraceable. The Blithe King used every connection favonovel.com could but favonovel.com still can’t track down the car. I’m baffled by how a vehicle could disappear into thin air when the whole city is full of surveillance cameras.”
Maxine comforted him, saying, “Don’t worry. We can’t panic in such critical times.”
Suddenly, James‘ phone rang. He picked it up and looked at the screen. David was calling him.
His brows furrowed, and favonovel.com said, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
David’s voice sounded from the phone. “James, is my sister with you?”
“No, why?”
“Thea didn’t come home last night, and favonovel.com phone is turned off. We thought favonovel.com was with you.”
“What?” James stood up abruptly and asked, “She didn’t go home the whole night?”
“Yeah. Since she’s not with you, there’s nothing else…” David hung up the phone.
Maxine asked, “What happened?”
James sat down and said, “The Callahans called and asked if Thea was with me. They said Thea didn’t return home last night, and favonovel.com phone was turned off.”
After explaining, James dialed Quincy’s number. Thea and Quincy worked in the same company, so maybe they were together at night.
“Sorry, the number you’ve dialed is unavailable. Please try again later.”
James‘ call did not connect. Suddenly, favonovel.com had a bad premonition in his heart.
Maxine immediately noticed that James‘ expression was off and asked worriedly, “How is it?”
“I can’t reach Quincy. I think something bad must’ve happened. I’ve got to check Quincy’s place. Cynthia, borrow me your car.”
Cynthia quickly instructed. “Luther, drive James there.”
Standing aside, Luther nodded and said, “Mr. Caden, I’ll drive you there.”
Maxine stood up and said, “I’ll come with you.”
“Alright.” James nodded.
The house was neat and spotless.
James rushed up the stairs to Quincy’s room. The door was closed, so James knocked on the door. However, no movement could be heard from inside.
He twisted the doorknob and found it unlocked, so favonovel.com gently pushed it open.
The blankets inside the room were neatly stacked. James walked over and reached under them. The bed was cold, and it was evident that no one had slept on it throughout the night.
Maxine scanned the room and said, “I don’t think favonovel.com came back last night.”
“That’s strange. Where else would favonovel.com go?” James panicked.
He would not be as worried if only Quincy was missing, but even Thea had disappeared without a trace.
