Chapter 384
Chris was at the Carlton residence. He was already grieving, but now, even his daughter’s life was in
danger. He looked very worn out.
Even Ethan pitied Chris when he saw the latter like this. “Mr. Carlton, don’t worry too much. Marina
must still be alive. If not, they wouldn’t have gone through the trouble to take her away.
Chris sighed. “Even if she’s still alive, she won’t be alright…”
Otto slammed his hands on the table. “Who are those people? How dare they attack my granddaughter
in broad daylight?”
After all, he loved his granddaughter the most since she was young. He would risk his life to fight
anyone who dared to hurt her.
“The current evidence points to the Toxic Hive.”
Otto’s expression shifted. “That’s impossible! It couldn’t have been the Toxic Hive!”
Ethan had a feeling that Otto was overreacting. He turned to look at Otto, a deep look flashing across
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthis dark eyes. “Why couldn’t it have been the Toxic Hive?”
Otto hastily hid his emotions. “You have been cracking down on Toxic Hive, haven’t you? How would
they dare to cause trouble in broad daylight?
“Moreover, my granddaughter didn’t have any grudges with them. Why would they do it?”
Ethan frowned deeply. “Toxic Hive is getting more arrogant these days. Instead of a medical
organization, they were more akin to terrorists.
“I had someone retrieve the footage from the hacked surveillance cameras at the scene. We can
determine that the man who appeared at the scene was a member of Toxic Hive.”
Otto wanted to retort, but Ethan showed him the evidence. “This is the man who took Marina
away.”
“This man is covered from head to toe. How can you be sure that he’s from Toxic Hive?”
Ethan zoomed in. An eagle tattoo was half exposed on the man’s wrist.
“This man’s original name is Ryan Woods. He’s one of the members of Toxic Hive, and his most
distinctive feature is this tattoo of his. He was also one of the people involved in the kidnapping.”
Chris slammed his cup. “Those toxic people! They’re getting too bold nowadays!”

Ethan comforted Chris, but he kept looking at Otto.
When Otto saw the evidence, he wasn’t angry. Instead, he was filled with disbelief.
His reaction was simply too odd.
Gripping Ethan’s hand, Chris said, “This morning, I contacted Toxic Hive and agreed on a time
to meet up with them. Ethan, you should take the opportunity to capture them all!”
“Mr. Carlton, why did you contact Toxic Hive?”
Chris said in regret, “The hospital has issued an advanced directive for Chloe. I knew that Toxic Hive
has been researching leukemia these days.
“I was out of options, so I wanted to make a deal with them. But I didn’t expect that something would

Thinking for a moment, Ethan spoke up. “Please calm down, Mr. Carlton. If it is the Toxic Hive, then
Marina would be in their hands. If I try to capture them, it would only endanger her.
“What do you mean?”
“Since Toxic Hive agreed to meet up with you, let’s just play along and see what they’re planning. We
shouldn’t alert them.”
As Ethan coaxed Chris, Chris’ anger slowly receded. It was true. If he acted on his anger, it would only
kill his daughter and Chloe.
“What ideas do you have, Ethan?”
Ethan said in a low voice, “I’ll go with you to meet them.”
“No! That’s too dangerous.”
“I have to go because it’s dangerous. We’ve always had limited knowledge of Toxic Hive. This would be
a great opportunity to understand them.”
After thinking about it, Chris still didn’t think it was a good idea. “No, it’s just too risky.”
“Mr. Carlton, I have personal reasons as well.”
It was his only chance to see Leia again.
