Chapter 136 Kidnapped Again
Collecting her courage, she raised her green eyes and stared deeply into his blue ones. Then she asked, "I'm not telling you a thing. So, what are you going to do about it?"r
Jack didn't get angry at all. He looked at Brenda who was seated in front of him and smiled. The smile made Brenda dumbfounded. According to what she was expecting, Jack was supposed to be frustrated and should try threatening him.r
But now, there was nothing that showed that he was angry other than the usual coldness that was originally present in his eyes.r
"You want to know what I can do? Okay then, I will show you what I can do. But, you have to be careful of what you are asking for. After all, if I can easily get the information about the transaction between you and viper, you should know by now that I have abilities." As he finished speaking, Jack got onto his feet and left.r
That's right, he didn't want to kill her just because she wanted to kill him. No, he would have to make sure that he found all her accomplices first.r
Brenda at the age of twenty one was definitely not capable of doing all of this. So, the thing that Jack would start with would be finding the partners in crime.r
Currently, the only partner that he knew was Marion, Brenda's mother. But, he was sure that there had to be more than just that. And as a result, it would need him to do a little more research.r
As she looked at Jack who was departing, Brenda's expression darkened. She could tell from Jack's words that he wasn't going to give up on that. He was going to find more about what caused her to attack him.r
All the same, as she thought of those that were involved, she believed that no matter how strong Jack was, there was no way that he was going to find them nor the real reason.r
In the end, although she was sure that Jack wouldn't be able to find the information, she decided to take precautions and become vigilant of him. Accidents do happen, and one of them had just happened not long ago where Jack found that she had sent an assassin after him.r
As for the other one, that would be the change that had occurred to Jack since the last time they met. She wasn't sure about his capabilities, but she would have to investigate about him as fast as she could.r
Taking a deep breath, she took her phone and decided to make a call. She had to inform her mother that her plan had failed.r
….r
After leaving the lodging area, Celine decided to find a place where nobody could find her so that she could try to calm down her racing and aching heart.r
She herself couldn't understand why she would react in such an explosive manner even without confirming about the identity of the other woman who was in Jack's room. All the same, she felt that she was wronged.r
She soon found herself in a desolate place, a park that was now empty. It was already ten, almost half past to be precise.r
Celine went ahead and sat on one of the chairs that had been set up here. She began thinking things through. She was wondering if it was true that Jack had a woman whom he considered as his other half or not.r
But what she was sure about was that she wouldn't want to see him with another woman. Had it been Wendy, although she would be hurt still, she felt that it was better for her sister to be the one rather than another woman that she knew nothing of.r
It was also at this moment when she was thinking so hard that she finally realized something. Although it was true that she loved Jack, it was also true that Jack didn't know. Or, it could be that he had already noticed it but it was just that he didn't acknowledge her love for him.r
As she thought of this, she finally realized that she wasn't really supposed to be angry at Jack. He wasn't her boyfriend, why would he not have other women? Just because she loved him? As long as their relationship wasn't confirmed, what was there to say?r
After a period of thinking, she finally came to a resolution. Although she felt that it might make Jack have a bad impression of her, she felt that it was necessary.r
Even if Jack had a woman, she was willing to try her luck. That's right, she wanted to confess her love for him. Previously, although she had thought that she loved Jack, she still had some doubts about it.r
But after seeing that there was actually a woman that she didn't know in his room, she came to a realization that she had really fallen for him. She finally realized that there were other women out there other than her and Wendy.r
Yes, even though the two of them had agreed to compete fairly, who said that the other ladies would agree to that? They couldn't resist Jack's charms and would definitely try using all the means possible to be his woman.r
And they on the other hand, were trying to play reserved, what was there to be reserved about if what you are trying to maintain a good image for was taken away at the end of the day?r
With resolution in her heart, she got onto her feet and decided to go back to Jack and tell him about it. As for why he didn't come after her when she ran away, she didn't even think much of it.r
She had just taken a few steps when suddenly, she heard several faint footsteps heading her way from behind.r
It was only at this moment that she realized that she was actually outside and in a desolate place at night, and she was alone. Her heart began racing as she hurriedly walked out of the park.r
But before she could reach far, a hand came from behind and closed her mouth, giving her no chance to scream. As she tried struggling out of the other party's grasp, she was hit on the neck and what followed was that, she saw everything going blurry before she completely lost her consciousness.r
After seeing that the target was already knocked out, the youth who had a burly body structure heaved a sigh of relief. If Jack was here, he would recognize him as the guy that had volunteered to beat him up back in the underground parking in Venture city.r
"Come and help me." The guy called out.r
Soon, a few people came out of the shadows, they were all wearing black. These were all youths that were part of the group that Celine and Wendy belonged to.r
Carefully, they carried Celine and headed into the darkness.r
If one could think carefully, he could see that there was something wrong with the park. Usually, the lights were supposed to be on throughout the night and there were supposed to be a few security guards that were patrolling and would occasionally pass in this area.r
But tonight, not only had the lights been switched off, but there was not a single soul in the area for the almost half an hour that Celine was here.r
Celine would have noticed these details had it not been for the fact that her mind and thoughts were chaotic. She couldn't think of anything else other than what was bugging her heart.r
As soon as the youths left, a figure of a woman appeared from the shadows. Denali looked at the direction that the group had headed and snorted coldly before following.r
Her master had given her the mission to protect the lady and make sure that nothing happened to her. Now that someone dared to kidnap her, that person had to face her wrath.r
She would have prevented the kidnapping from happening. But, she wanted to know who it was that dared to orchestrate such a plan, to kidnap a person that her master cared about.r
….r
Jack arrived in front of his room and opened the door before entering. He was surprised to find that Denali wasn't back yet. Thinking that maybe Celine was still out there, Jack decided to go and find her.r
Taking out his phone, he sent a text asking of her whereabouts. He was sure that if he called, he might reveal her presence to Celine. Although the tone of a text message being received could also alert Celine, it was easy to hide it.r
Not long after he sent the text, a reply that completely infuriated Jack came.r
[Master, there's someone who kidnapped her. I'm currently following them as I want to know who it was that had asked them to do that.]r
'Where are you now?' He hurriedly texted.r
[The western part of the park, they are heading in that direction.]r
Without further ado, Jack rushed out of the room, using his full speed. As he rushed through the halls, a person could faintly hear the whistling of the air, making sounds of something passing at an extremely fast speed.r
Not long after, Jack had already gotten out of the lodging area, he had actually climbed the stairs towards the lower floor, the elevator could only delay him as he was using his fastest speed, not caring whether there was a person that would find out about the abnormality of his speed or not.r
….r
In an indoor playground for children, there was a group of youngsters standing behind a young man. In front of them, there was a beautiful lady who was lying on the floor, unconscious.r
The young man looked at Celine and smiled. He had initially planned to have someone to go and bring her to the park before kidnapping her. Who would have thought that she would actually take the initiative to come to the park by herself?r
He had actually spent a good sum of money to bribe the person in charge of security for him to set up the plan. He had asked for the lights to be switched off and to make sure that no one other than Celine came to the park.r
As for the playground, he had also paid the guards to allow him to use it. This place was far from the lodging area and so, he wasn't worried that someone would find out about this.r
"Wake her up." The young man looked at one of the youths behind him and spoke.r
"Got it." The youth replied before he used the water in the bottle that he was holding to sprinkle on Celine's face. And not long after that, Celine woke up.r
She was still confused but the fear of being kidnapped was still there. She looked around confusedly as she got off the ground. When her eyes landed on the young man, she asked in disbelief, "Collins? What do you mean by doing this?"r
