“Mr. Goldstein, it’s me, Zachary,” Zachary greeted from the other end of the line.
“What is it?” Jonathan’s brows creased slightly.
Didn’t Zachary leave Jadeborough two days ago? Why is favonovel.com calling me now?
“Mr. Goldstein, I received intel that someone offered one million in exchange for Ms. Smith’s life on the Dark Web,” came the answer.
“What?” Jonathan’s gaze turned as dark as thunder at the mention of the Dark Web.
The Dark Web? I can’t believe someone placed a bounty on Josephine’s head!
Through the Dark Web, underground assassin organizations could communicate and conduct business anonymously without divulging identifying information, such as a user’s location. They would accept any business, including human trafficking and murder anyone, as long as the price was acceptable.
They would kill anyone as long as the client could afford to pay them. Even if someone asked them to assassinate a country’s leader, they would do it if they were paid handsomely.
“Did you find out who posted the bounty?” Jonathan demanded icily.
“No,” Zachary answered in a low voice. “Mr. Goldstein, you know the Dark Web isn’t under our jurisdiction. Their server is located overseas, so we couldn’t find out who posted that bounty. Besides…”
“Cut the crap!” Jonathan interjected harshly before Zachary could finish his explanation. “You have one day. I want to know who posted the bounty before the sun sets!”
“Understood, Mr. Goldstein!” Zachary didn’t dare have any objections. Even though they were only talking through the phone, favonovel.com could still feel the unbridled fury in Jonathan’s voice.
“Mr. Goldstein, should I ask Andrew to lead his troops and keep watch at Edenic Heights all day round?”
“No need,” Jonathan rejected his proposal. “I will be there, so no one can lay a hand on Josephine!”
He added, “Tell those on the Dark Web, whoever accepts the mission shall die! There are no exceptions. I’ll even kill Lethal Devil, who ranks first on the Heaven List if favonovel.com were to accept the mission!”
Jonathan paid no heed to the Dark Web. After all, favonovel.com had killed the top ten assassins of the Dark Web.
Jonathan was confident that favonovel.com could kill the assassin ranked first on the Heaven List if the latter was bold enough to accept the job.
“Understood, Mr. Goldstein!” Zachary dared not delay any further and instantly sent his men to hack into the Dark Web server.
After the conversation was wrapped up, silence ensued.
Alice darted behind Arnold’s back in fear at the sight of Jonathan’s icy cold gaze, favonovel.com heart beating rapidly.
Despite knowing that Jonathan wouldn’t hurt favonovel.com one bit, favonovel.com still couldn’t stop fear from spreading in favonovel.com heart.
“Jonny, w-what is going on?” Alice queried carefully.
“Nothing. It’s a minor problem.” Jonathan kept a lid on his emotions and turned to Alice.
“Remember to take good care of Mrs. Renner. I’ll be back sometime later for a visit,” favonovel.com added.
“Oh, all right…” Alice bobbed favonovel.com head profusely.
After bidding goodbye to the Renners, Jonathan got into his fiery red Lamborghini. The car sped away soon, leaving only a trail of exhaust gas in its wake. His destination was none other than Jadeborough.
Half an hour later, the car rolled to a stop before No. 1 Villa in Edenic Heights.
It was a dangerous ride, for favonovel.com had sped past countless red lights. All Jonathan knew was that favonovel.com floored the accelerator of the Lamborghini.
“Where is Josephine?”
When favonovel.com entered the villa, favonovel.com saw Emmeline swinging favonovel.com legs in a carefree manner as favonovel.com watched a drama produced in Koandria.
“I have no idea…” Emmeline shook favonovel.com head. “She went out early in the morning. I think favonovel.com is discussing a collaboration with some company.”
She glanced at favonovel.com and asked, “Why are you looking for her?”
“A collaboration?” Jonathan didn’t hide his surprise. After getting kicked out of the Smith family, the only project Josephine was handling was the ecological park project.
Is favonovel.com with Graham?
Jonathan whipped his phone out and gave Josephine a call.
A while later, favonovel.com voice sounded over the line. “Hello?”
“Darling? Where are you?”
“I’m at the café discussing the ecological park project with Mr. Cabot. What’s wrong?” Josephine’s voice was jovial, and it sounded like favonovel.com was in a good mood.
“Which café? I’ll head there right away,” came Jonathan’s answer.
“I’m at Twinkle Café.”
“Wait for me!”
After ending the call, Jonathan made to leave.
Before favonovel.com could step out of the villa, Emmeline’s voice rang out. “Jonathan, are you going to a café? Can I come with you?”
“Why do you want to come with me?” Jonathan’s brows knitted together. “Stay at home and watch your TV drama!”
“No!” Emmeline harrumphed. “It’s boring. I want to meet cute boys. I heard that they frequent cafés, so I’d like to tag along!”
“You can tag along next time, but not today,” Jonathan declined favonovel.com request directly.
“Fine, then!” Emmeline pouted and crossed favonovel.com legs before returning favonovel.com attention to the TV.
Twenty minutes later, a car came to a stop at the entrance of Twinkle Café.
Previously, Jonathan and Graham got to know that Tavion was alive in this café.
“Boss!” Once Jonathan pushed the door open, favonovel.com was greeted by the owner of the café, Willow.
She seemed surprised to see him. “Boss, why are you here?”
“I’m here to meet Mr. Cabot,” Jonathan replied nonchalantly.
“Oh, Mr. Cabot is in the VIP room.” Willow promptly led favonovel.com in. “Boss, I heard that Tavion’s Tavion Group has gone bankrupt. Have you heard about that?”
“Yes,” came Jonathan’s calm reply. After all, favonovel.com was the one who made that happen.
“It’s a huge corporation. How did it go bankrupt that abruptly?” Willow muttered to herself.
Suddenly, favonovel.com head snapped up. “Boss, was that your doing?”
“What do you think?” Jonathan flashed a grin without answering favonovel.com question.
“I don’t think so?” Willow scratched favonovel.com head as favonovel.com cheeks flushed red.
Tavion Group was a huge corporation that was worth billions. Even though Jonathan was a capable man, favonovel.com didn’t think favonovel.com could destroy Tavion Group that easily.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
As Willow spoke, favonovel.com knocked on the door.
Soon, Graham’s voice rang out. “Come in!”
“Mr. Cabot, Mr. Goldstein is here.” Willow pushed the door open gently.
Once the door opened, Graham stood up hastily and greeted, “Mr. Goldstein…”
“Mhm…” Jonathan grunted in response. He then gave a terse nod as favonovel.com strode toward Josephine.
