Chapter 458
After Bernard finished giving orders, he put down his phone and dragged himself to the study.
He took out another phone specifically used for contacting the organization members and sent a
message to Caleb.
After Caleb pushed Sophie into the basement, he took off his face mask and took out the vibrating
phone. He glanced at it, and quickly replied, “Kidnapped her already.”
He then sent an address to Bernard, who casually glanced at it before turning off his phone and
chugging down a cup of strong coffee on the table.
He put on black gloves, grabbed his mask, and hurried towards the door. As he walked towards the
elevator, he could faintly hear Pearce’s voice,
“You guys keep carrying me up and down the stairs, over and over again. What the hell do you want?!”
Four burly men carried him by his hands and feet, up and down, making him so dizzy!
As the private elevator doors opened, the bodyguards stopped teasing Pearce when they saw the tall,
cold–looking man in front of them. They threw Pearce onto the ground.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith a thud, Pearce violently hit the ground, dazed and disoriented. Then, he saw a face wearing a
bronze–gold mask.
“Mr. Law?!
Pearce struggled to get up from the floor, leaning against the wall, weak and powerless, but still asked
loudly.
“Where’s Eleanor? What did you do to her? Why isn’t she out?!” He asked.
Bernard glanced at him indifferently and stepped into the elevator without a care.
Pearce wouldn’t let him go, clenching his fists and staring him down.
“If you don’t hand over Eleanor, I’ll fight you to the end today!” Pearce said.
The bodyguard behind him helplessly held his forehead and slapped Pearce, sending him flying onto
the elevator.
Then the bodyguard dragged Pearce out and pressed the elevator button for the man inside.
As the elevator doors closed, the man’s cold voice came from inside,
“Dislocate his right hand for three days!”
Hearing this order, Pearce’s face contorted with anger,
“My right hand is for drawing designs, can you pick another one?!!!”
Bernard stepped out of the private elevator and got into his Bugatti sports car.
He removed his mask, started the car, and quickly drove to the address Caleb had sent.
Half an hour later, Bernard put his mask back on and got out of the car.
The powerful aura emanating from his body as he stepped out of the car was enough to instill fear in
anyone.
His long, straight legs beneath his uniform pants took steady steps as he walked into the dimly lit
basement.
Sophie, hearing footsteps approaching, shrank into the corner and hugged herself tightly as the lights
in the basement turned on.
She looked up at the man slowly walking down the steps.
When her eyes met the bronze–gold mask, Sophie trembled in fear.
This man was the leader of the gang. She had only seen him once before, but that was enough to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmleave a lasting impression.
That night, he had approached her just like this, not saying a word, just coldly staring at her.
She couldn’t see the eyes hidden beneath the mask, but she felt they were frightening.
She still didn’t understand why these people kept bothering her every month.
Although they had never done anything particularly severe to her, the physical and mental pain never
ceased.
She had sent countless people to investigate the gang’s origins, but every time they were about to
discover something, someone would intercept and destroy the information.
That was when she realized these people were not ordinary–they had powerful backgrounds, so
powerful even she couldn’t reach them. As the man approached her and slightly tilted his head, looking
down at her condescendingly, Sophie trembled and finally spoke,
“Who the hell are you? Why do you keep torturing me like this?”
Three years of tomment was enough to break anyone, let alone the daughter of the Ratliff family.
Bemard removed his mask, revealing his handsome face.
His arrogant gaze fell on her making Sophie, unbelievingly, widen her dark eyes.
