“Maxine!”

Away from the CEO’s office, Alexander walked to the corner of the stairs and immediately dialed Maxine’s phone. “Who's in trouble? Where are they?”

Maxine worriedly replied, “My lord, we just received news half an hour ago. Blackthorn’s organization has just captured a Wyverna merchant. They demand a ransom of a hundred fifty million within two days, or they’ll broadcast themselves beheading

him.” “Blackthorn?” Alexander slightly furrowed his brow.

This was an illegal armed force within Southwick, actually infiltrated by the influence of Umbracia. They provided weapons support, even equipped with armored vehicles and unconventional weapons. The total number of criminals exceeded 500, and their strength was not to be underestimated.

“The country’s leader should handle this headache. The head of the foreign affairs department knows how to deal with it.” Alexander held his phone and said, “Remember that I’ve officially retired, Maxine. Unless

something significant happens to our brothers in the Temple of War, you don’t need to report small matters to me.”

“My lord, this is no small matter,” Maxine replied, her voice low. “If it were an ordinary kidnapping, | wouldn't dare bother you. However...”

At this point, Maxine hesitated for a moment before continuing, “The target of this kidnapping seems to be your father-in-law, Patrick Chesire!”

What?!

Alexander’s brow tightened, his gaze suddenly sharp. His father-in-law, Patrick, entrusted the domestic market to Amber to manage. He took two bodyguards on a plane to Southwick, hoping to explore foreign markets and sell ‘Life One’ globally.

His first stop, it seemed, was Southwick.

“Maxine, stay on the line!” Alexander thought quickly, then immediately switched the phone screen, finding Patrick’s number and dialing it rapidly.

In just under three seconds... ‘The number you have dialed is no longer in service. Please try again later.....’ Alexander’s gaze was sharp as a knife as he cut off the call.

He reestablished communication with Maxine and said in a deep voice, “Ready a fighter jet. | need to go to Southwick right away. Also, block domestic news. We cannot let Amber and my mother-in-law know. I’m afraid they'll worry.

“Also, inform Southwick not to act recklessly. | will save my father-in-law myself!”

+15 BONOS

“Sir, yes, sir!” replied Maxine.

Alexander said no more and swiped his finger to hang up the phone. He turned and returned to the general manager's office. “Alexander, are you finished with the call?” Seeing Alexander enter, Amber hurriedly approached, concerned.

How is Maxine and that friend of hers? Is that friend okay? Do you need any medicinal herbs?”

“Yeah, just a bit unsteady on his feet. Buying medicine locally will do.”

Alexander casually covered it up and, as if remembering something, smiled. “You toldto go abroad to lay low a bit, right? | just thought about it. Dad is opening up the market in Southwick, and | can help out.”

“Oh? Well, that’s great!” Amber’s shock was replaced with joy. She immediately got to work to book a plane

ticket for Alexander.

“I've already booked the ticket when | was outside.” Alexander smiled, reaching out to hold Amber’s delicate

wrist. “Don’t worry, I’ll be back in a maximum of three days. Take care of yourself, and don’t leave Ol’ Mare unless necessary.” Amber’s pretty face changed slightly. “But...”

“No arguments.” Alexander's gaze was serious as he whispered, “I know what you want to say. Worried about

the Jackman family seeking revenge, right? They're nothing to worry about!”

He tenderly kissed Amber’s cheek and turned, striding out of the office door.

“Alexander...” Amber followed out, watching Alexander’s figure recede into the distance, her eyes filled with indescribable worry.

She prayed he would cback safely, no matter what the Jackman family would do.
