Chapter 543
Patrick looked at his surrounding environment and found that it was truly remote. If he had not received the
electronic map sent by Huxton halfway through his journey, he would not have been able to find the location in a
short time.
Because it was remote, it also meant that there were fewer visitors. The probability of being seen by others
would then be much lower.
After confirming and approving of the location Huxton chose, Patrick asked the men in black in a hoarse voice,
"Did you bring him here?"
One of the black-clothed men nodded and said, "Mr. Huxton just led a man in."
"Taketo him," ordered Patrick.
"Yes, Mr. Hopper!" The two men in black answered in unison.
One of them stayed at the door to continue keeping watch, while the other walked into the house with Patrick.
Although the house looked abandoned from the outside, it was actually tidy and neat inside. Huxton must have
considered Patrick's mysophobia and asked someone to clean it up on the spur of the moment.
The man in black by Patrick's side introduced, "Mr. Hopper, both of them are on the second floor. The woman is
locked up in the first room; the man is in the second."
Noticing Patrick's raised eyebrows, the man quickly added, "Mr. Hopper, don't worry. The two rooms are far apart
from each other, and the woman's eyes and mouth are covered by us. Her hands and feet are tied to the chair
too. Even if she hears anything, she can't scream for help!"
Patrick relaxed his frown and replied, "Hmm." He then calmly pushed open the door to the second room.
Along with the creaking of the old door, Patrick's eyes scoured the room to find Huxton and Milton engaged in a
fierce fight, and none of them noticed his arrival.
Milton swung a left hook and said, "F*ck! Patrick luredto this place! Where is he?"
Huxton blocked the attack in time. "Mr. Cook, please wait for a moment!"
Milton sent another spin kick his way and said, "Do you know that I'm in a hurry to find someone? | don't want to
wait for him anymore! Get out of my way if you know what's good for you!" After Huxton dodged the deadly kick,
he reached out and grabbed Milton's shoulder. He said, "I'm sorry,
Mr. Cook. It is my duty to keep you here!"
As Milton turned around, the two men, who had been combating with each other so closely together, froze. Upon
seeing Patrick, Huxton withdrew his fists and legs immediately and bowed respectfully. "Mr. Hopper!"
Milton smoothed out his wrinkled shirt and said with a frown, "Your men are really hard to deal with."
Patrick peered at the two of them absent-mindedly. Huxton's breath was still steady, but Milton appeared to be
panting.
It could be seen that Milton had no advantage in this battle and that his strength had been depleted.

Patrick then said, "Huxton, you can leave first."
"But Mr. Hopper..." Huxton hesitated.
Patrick gave him a sidelong glance and said, "Mr. Cook and | have something to discuss. You may leave."
Patrick knew that Huxton was worried about his safety. However, Milton's strength had been exhausted just now.
If he decided to take action again, then he would be making a mistake! "Mr. Hopper, I'll be at the door." With this,
Huxton walked away.
After the door was closed behind Huxton, Milton expressed, "Although you're less than decent, your subordinates
are quite loyal."
The corner of Patrick's mouth lifted, looking untroubled, "This is the result of being charming.
You can't have it even if you try."
Milton clicked his tongue and disgust showed on his expression.
At this, Patrick did not get angry. Instead, he sat on the clean leather chair leisurely.
As he shifted his line of sight, he glimpsed a round table beside him. There was only a monitor with remote
control on it.
He smiled. He could already guess what they were for.
Milton, however, was clueless. Confused, he asked, "Why did you callhere? This isn't a training hall!"
Patrick flashed a sarcastic smile and said, "I changed my mind. Let's talk about something else."
Being stared at by Patrick's thoughtful eyes, Milton felt goosebumps spread all over his skin. He replied
reluctantly, "What on earth do you want to talk toabout?" Patrick looked at him and answered slowly,
"Maryanne Smith."
Milton was stunned. "You askedto cto a place like this to talk about Maryanne? What do you want?"
Patrick said casually, "Don't worry, | know where Maryanne is."
Milton's expression switched as he asked anxiously, "Where is she?"
Patrick pointed toward the ground and responded, "Do you believeif | said she's here?"
Milton was even more bewildered. "Maryanne is here?"
"Yes." Patrick replied. He then picked up the remote control, pointed at the monitor, and a clear image jumped to
the screen at once.
Patrick and Milton looked over at the
image at the stime. It showed a
chair in an empty room, with a
woman sitting on it. Her shirt Was,

SER as day. Her legs were
spread, her feet tied to the legs of the
chair. Her hands were tied together
at the back of the chair, and there
was even a chain around her waist,
trapping her while she whined like a
dog. Her eyes were blinded by a black
cloth, her mouth sealed in multiple
layers with black duct tape. The

If she was not wearing the dress that she wore when she left The Cook family house, Milton would not have
believed that the girl on the screen was
Maryanne!
After a long pause, Milton threw himself on to Patrick, grabbed his collar and asked him in a frenzy, "What did
you do to Maryanne? What the hell did you do to Maryanne?!"
The door flew open with a bang...
It was Huxton, who barged in after hearing the commotion!
After breaking in, he scanned the room and saw that Patrick was pressed against the chair by Milton. Huxton was
so anxious that he even took out his pistol.
Out of the corner of his eye, Patrick
saw Huxton with a gun in his hand,
aiming at the back of Milton's head,
ready to fire. Patrick made a prompt

Milton whirled around
subconsciously, only to see the cold,

was Huxton's bleak, murderous gaze.

"F*ck!" At the risk of his own life, Milton turned his head back around and shouted at Patrick in exasperation,
"You first kidnapped Maryanne, and now you want to kill me? Fine, if you have the guts, then let him shoot me!"
Patrick did not expect Huxton to be

HUxton's hand, which was holding
the gun, trembled. He took a deep
breath and put the gun back to the

Patrick knew that Huxton was merely eager to protect his master, so he did not chase him away. He turned back
to Milton and said, "Letgo first." "Let Maryanne go first!" Milton seized his collar and refused to let go.
Patrick smiled and said, "Straininglike this does no good for Maryanne at all. Under my order, more than a
dozen big men will get in the room with her right away. As for you, all you can do is to watch them put on a show
on this other side of the screen."
