Even someone like Victor, who was usually considered tall, appeared almost frail next to them as if he hadn't been eating properly.
In response to Suzy's question, the young man hesitated before replying, "Sorry, I just took another look at the photo and realized I made a mistake. The person I saw only looks similar to him, but it's not the man you're looking for." Victor immediately grabbed the man's collar. "You were so sure before, swearing you'd seen him, and now you're saying it was a mistake?" The man shook Victor's hand off with a quick move. "Mistakes happen! Haven't you ever mistaken someone before?" Victor's brows knitted tightly. "I don't think you made a mistake. I think someone told you to keep quiet." The man's eyes flickered briefly. "I don't know what you're talking about. I've got things to do. If you've got nothing else, I'm leaving." Before he could leave, Suzy stepped forward, blocking his path. "Hey, handsome, fate brought us together. You're a local, and we're new here with no idea where to start. How about becoming our guide?" As she spoke, Suzy pulled out a card. "There's one hundred thousand dollars in this. Consider it your payment." "O-one hundred thousand dollars?" The man's eyes lit up instantly.
He had never seen so much money in his life.
"Not enough?" Suzy pretended to misunderstand. "How about this-I'll double it. Another one hundred thousand dollars if you agree.

"You've cto the right person for a guide. Nobody knows this city better than I do. Con, lettake you to our most famous spot first..." "Perfect!" 1/2 Chapter 0423 arm,
When Suzy seemed ready to follow the man on a sightseeing trip, Victor grabbed her clearly annoyed. (Suzy, aren't you being a bit heartless? I thought you cared about Dylan. Was that all an act? Dylan's life is hanging by a thread, and here you are, in the mood for sightseeing?"
Victor could tell she wasn't actually interested in sightseeing. She didn't trust the man and was likely trying to coax sinformation out of him. Still, he didn't agree with her approach. If it were up to him, he'd just tie the guy up and beat the truth out of him. Suzy glanced at him. "If you don't want to calong, head back to the hotel." Victor's expression darkened.
As if he could just leave. With Dylan missing, it was his responsibility to protect her and make sure she was safe until Dylan was found. Only then could he hand her over to Dylan in one piece.
The man led Suzy and Victor around the city all day, showing them several local landmarks and letting them try Vetting a variety of regional delicacies. Suzy acted like a carefree tourist, which gradually eased the man's guard. By the end of the day, he even casually asked, "So, who exactly were you looking for this morning?" Before Suzy could answer, Victor cut in, pointing at her. "Her husband." Unexpectedly, Suzy didn't refute his claim this time. Instead, she calmly added, "He was framed and brought here. He has a grandmother back hwaiting for him to return." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
