Chapter 76
Chapter 76 Jack had just slicked his hair back when he froze and snapped coldly, “No!” Why should he go after someone who did not care about him?
For all he knew, Naomi was somewhere out there having the time of her life!
Sean was so taken aback by Jack‘s response that he shut his mouth and did not dare to speak another word.
At that moment, the phone sitting on the coffee table started ringing. Sean quickly picked it up and passed the phone to Jack. “The Messer family‘s youngest daughter, Susan Messer, is calling. She‘s Miss Naomi‘s best friend,” added Sean. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Jack’s thumb hovered over the reject button on the phone screen. He pondered for a few seconds, then picked up the call with an annoyed expression on his face. “Hello?” “I‘m sorry for calling so late, Mister Hough. Is Naomi home? She won‘t pick up my calls, and I‘m very worried!” Susan‘s frantic voice came through the phone. “Isn‘t she with you?” Jack asked curtly as his eyes turned ice cold. “She‘s not! She was told to go to the Green Mansion today. I‘ve been trying to reach her since this afternoon, but my calls won‘t go through! I‘m worried that something‘s happened to her...
Jack‘s brows furrowed upon hearing Susan‘s words, and his face turned murderous.
“Sean!”
“Yes, sir! I‘ll investigate immediately!”
Thunder rumbled, and lightning struck as the entire city shook in a raging storm. A black Mayerbach raced along the provincial roads leading to the city‘s outskirts, speeding through the darkness of the night and leaving behind a trail of mist.
“According to the surveillance cameras in the area, Miss Naomi was abducted around noon! It‘s been over six hours since then. What if...” Sean blurted, but he stopped himself as he did not dare to continue his words.
They were dealing with an outlaw who was arrested for multiple murders. Naomi had been in his clutches for a while, and the odds were against her! “She’ll be fine!” Jack replied as he stared into the darkness outside the car window. His voice, however, gave away a hint of uncertainty.
At the warehouse, Naomi was putting on an act. “I give up! I beg of you, please untie me. It‘d be easier for me to please you that way.” She was pretending to beg the red–headed man while she secretly tried to pull out the silver needle hidden in the sleeve of her shirt with her fingers.
She got it! As the red–headed man began to go soft on her, one of the other men immediately stopped him. “No way! This woman‘s too cunning. Don‘t fall for it!”. “My whole body feels weak right now. Besides, I can‘t do anything for you if you‘ve got me tied up like this. I can‘t believe you‘re actually afraid of me. Are you really men?” Naomi‘s mocking tone angered the red–headed man. “I‘ll show you how manly I can be!” he said, then untied the rope around Naomi‘s wrist.
His eyes widened when he saw the silver needle in her hand! “You!”
“Go to hell!” Naomi exclaimed, then swiftly poked the needle into the pressure points at the man‘s neck, sending him straight to the ground. “Get her!” Seeing the situation in front of their eyes, the other men charged at her.
Naomi snapped the ropes that bound her with a violent yank and sent one of the men flying to the other side of the room with a strong kick! The other men were dumbfounded. She had used the silver needle on a few pressure points that could significantly increase her strength for ten minutes! “You‘re done for!” Naomi yelled as she threw a chilling glare over the group of men. It was as if she came from the very depths of hell.
The men looked around at each other, then charged at her with a raging fury. “Let‘s go! Kill her!”
