Chapter 1373: Chapter 1373: Target Is Him 2

The phone was crushed into debris by passing vehicles.

Ian Wang scoffed, "You don’t know how cunning this girl is. I’ve dealt with Aurelia Shaw before; she can take down two strong men even while unconscious. How can I not be wary of such a woman?"

...

Mason Nightshade received Amanda Fuller’s call, immediately answered, his heart pounding rapidly, his face grave, yet the fingers holding the phone betrayed his current emotions, "How is it? Has the call... gone through?"

"The phone is off, Mr. Nightshade. Aurelia... has something happened to her?"

"Do you know where she’s staying now?"

"Well... every time she comes to the set, there’s a female bodyguard who picks her up specially. I haven’t been allowed to pick her up for a while now."

"What kind of female bodyguard?" Mason Nightshade grasped the crucial clue.

The person who took Aurelia away was also a woman.

Although he deemed it unlikely that Alaric Wood would choose an unreliable person as Aurelia’s bodyguard, he couldn’t fully dismiss the possibility. Someone who could get Aurelia to follow obediently might have found a way to control her or drug her.

"Hmm... tall, relatively slim, short hair, somewhat dark skin, and a gaze that’s rather intimidating." Amanda Fuller thought for a while, but anytime Vespera Bennett brought Aurelia to the set, she’d leave right after, and Amanda had only seen Vespera from afar a few times.

Mason Nightshade tapped a few keys, pulling up Vespera Bennett’s photo; short hair, dark skin, fierce gaze... these matched Amanda Fuller’s description.

The person who abducted Aurelia was indeed Vespera Bennett.

Alaric Wood! Mason Nightshade’s eyes darkened, "I trusted him too much! But after letting him watch over Aurelia for a month, he placed questionable people around her, staging such a grand abduction, showing no care in such a minor matter as hiring someone!"

He overestimated Alaric Wood’s feelings for Aurelia.

Initially, he thought Alaric loved Aurelia just as he did...

It was that gaze that led him to misunderstand.

"Immediately instruct our people to find that group." Mason Nightshade ordered Grayson Quinn.

"Already arranged. We can’t stay here for long. M Nation’s police are about to arrive; we can’t expose our identities. Let’s discuss further back at the residence."

Inside a certain villa.

Mason Nightshade covered his face with his hand, pressing his aching temple firmly.

After examining Mason Nightshade, Junia Simpson frowned and cautioned, "Brother Nightshade, you can’t overexert yourself anymore. If your illness recurs, it will greatly deplete your health. The brain is the most peculiar and crucial organ of the human body; if it gets damaged, the harm is irreversible."

Mason Nightshade waved his hand, "Have they been found?"

"Brother Nightshade!"

Grayson Quinn pursed his lips, shook his head, "No, but we captured their people. They attempted suicide by poisoning but failed and are detained at our place."

"Prepare the car."

Mason Nightshade strode towards the door, Junia Simpson stood in his way, face serious and worried, "Brother Nightshade, let Grayson handle these matters. Others can do it too. Continuing this way will damage your brain again. No matter how skilled the Simpson Family once was, they can’t heal brain cells already damaged."

"I know my limits." Mason Nightshade moved past Junia Simpson, opened the door but was held back by Junia Simpson once more, his tone deepening suddenly, "Junia!"

Junia Simpson pressed her lips, "Take the medicine first."

Mason Nightshade took the medicine from Junia’s hand, didn’t drink the water she offered, swallowed the medicine directly, and stepped away.
