As Yannis finished his speaking, the men behind him were already subdued.

“Take them away.” Yannis dislocated the arms and legs of the man he camped, handcuffed him, and handed him
over to the arriving reinforcements.
With his jaw dislocated, the boss couldn't speak-all he could do was glare venomously up at Yannis.
“Stop staring. You dare conto our turf and target our people. What the hell were you thinking?” One of the
reinforcements gave him a sharp smack on the head.
They had been keeping tabs on these people, which caused them nothing but trouble. It was almost Christmas
and they didn’t stop making trouble and chere. ‘Who the hell gave them the nerve?’ The reinforcement
thought.
They would've taken them down ages ago, but since these evildoers were operating in the city center, they were
worried these people might resort to desperate measures and endanger innocent civilians.
These guys had sstreet smarts-they always made a point of gathering in crowded places. But honestly, they
weren't that clever. After all, they fell right into the trap so easily.
“Captain Quinn,” one of the reinforcements said, “we’ll take the suspects downstairs now.” Two reinforcements
escorted the suspect away, giving Jaiden Quinn a nod as they passed by.
“Okay,” Jaiden said.
“Yannis, you're the real MVP. With you on board, everything goes smoothly. With all the suspects cuffed and
hooded, Jaiden, who was in tactical gear, strode over, his sharp eyes crinkling with a hint of a smile as he
clapped Yannis on the shoulder.
“Cut the chatter. Interrogate them thoroughly. We've got their accomplices to find.” Yannis turned his head
slightly to look at him and said, “Donald should be in their hands. He's probably still alive, but I doubt he’s in
good shape.”
“Now that we've got these guys, if their contacts don’t hear back soon, the rest of them will realize what's going
on.” Jaiden also instantly switched to serious mode.
Yannis glanced toward the nearby private room. “Yeah, we need to take care of them as soon as possible. The
longer this is unsolved, the more trouble it could cause.”
“I don’t think that’s what you are worried about. You are worried about your girl getting scared, right?” Following
Yannis’s gaze, Jaiden couldn't help but let out a knowing chuckle.
“Captain Quinn, there are several men outside demanding we release the suspects we just apprehended. They're
offering an exchange for a hostage.” Just then, a man reported through Jaiden’s walkie-talkie.
His walkie-talkie wasn’t muted, so both Jaiden and Yannis heard the message. The two exchanged a glance.
“Looks like the prediction is spot on.” Jaiden fell silent for a beat. He never expected these guys to be this damn
stupid. Jaiden turned to Yannis. “Let's head down and check it out.”

“Let's go,” Yannis replied. He wouldn't rest easy unless he oversaw the resolution of the matter.
Yannis and Jaiden took the elevator down. Outside, a line of police officers was standing guard, protecting the
resort staff below. Blocking their path were three towering men-all blond-haired and blue-eyed. And they were
holding a hostage.
A figure barely human dragged one limp leg behind him, the other pant leg hanging empty where a limb should
have been, crusted with dark, dried blood. His face was so gaunt-just a layer of skin stretched tightly over bone.
His scalp was uneven, with sspots completely bald, revealing faint cigarette burn scars. His eyes were
vacant and lifeless; a filthy rag stuffed in his mouth.
His hospital gown was in tatters-the very sone he'd been wearing when he was abducted from the hospital,
now filthy and barely holding together. But it was now so caked with filth and blood that its original form was
beyond recognition.
The moment he saw the police, a spark of hope flickered in his eyes. Weak as he was, he struggled with what
little strength he had left.
Yannis immediately recognized the man across from him-it was Donald, who had been missing for nearly two
months. These men behind him were the ones who'd helped Donald escape.
Donald had thought that being rescued would mean a better life than rotting away in prison. But he never
expected his “rescuers” to be a bunch of heartless brutes.
With no value left to them, he becnothing more than a punching bag for their frustrations.
The lead kidnapper barked in broken Laystoland Language, “Get your boss-the one who can talk with us—to
negotiate with us.”
All eyes turned to Yannis. Clearly, he was the one in charge here. The entire operation had been orchestrated by
him.
“So, you're the big boss around here?” Following their line of sight, the lead also turned his gaze to Yannis. He
was astonished that someone so youthful could wield such commanding authority.
Before Yannis could respond, the leader cut in, “Hand over our boss, and we'll release this man.”
“That guy’s worthless to us,” Yannis said while his gaze locked Donald in their grasp.
Donald's bloodshot, bulging eyes were fixed on them, filled with desperate hope. He thought being tormented by
Maelis was already a living hell, but falling into the hands of these outlaws was even worse-a living nightmare on
top of that.
“He is Zinnia's father,” the lead stated. He was surprised by Yannis’ reply. He froze for a moment before finally
speaking, “If you just stand there and watch her father die before your eyes, she'll hate you.”
Yannis scoffed, “That man isn’t Zinnia’s real father-he cheated on his wife and even abused Zinnia. Go ahead
and kill him if you want. We can’t just execute people, but you outlaws don’t care about that.”

Now that things were pretty much under control, Yannis had the leisure to banter with them a little.
The three men froze in shock. In utter disbelief, they stared down at Donald. Donald had never told them he
wasn’t Zinnia’s real father.
Because they thought he was Zinnia’s father, they had thought he was their last trump card. But now, this
bargaining chip turned out to be fake.

“You dare lie to us? We'll fucking kill you!” one of the men roared. Another man beside him was so enraged that
he looked ready to kill Donald on the spot.
Donald let out a choked sob. Terrified by the murderous rage in their eyes, he trembled uncontrollably, a sudden
warmth spreading down his legs.
The smell of urine spread in the air, so strong that people couldn't help but take a step back.

Yannis raised an eyebrow at the news. Now Yannis understood why they hadn't killed Donald yet. ‘Ah, so that’s
why they kept him. He thought.
