Krystal squinted, a fierce glint flashing in them as she heard the name “Melvin Thompson.”
“Yes,” Gabby confirmed, handing over the recorded conversations. “These conversations were captured the day
before the two girls were brought here.”
Krystal couldn’t help but snicker. Melvin had called her at that time, promising to bring her two high-quality girls.
Engaged in dubious business, Krystal was cautious in her dealings. Through careful probing, Melvin had revealed
that these two girls were, in fact, Nicholas’ daughter and his own daughter!
The revelation shocked Krystal. Even a ruthless tiger wouldn’t harm its own cub, but Melvin proved to be worse than
a beast!
The recorded conversation further exposed his deceitful nature. After their transaction, he immediately leaked the
information to Justin.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRealizing this, Krystal understood that Melvin must have known Justin was also on the ship, which was why he had
the girls knocked out and brought here.
How could Justin, with his poor sense and sight, recognize Lina as Linda’s daughter at first glance?
It turned out that Melvin had shown him a photo a long time ago!
He was going to extreme lengths to destroy these two girls!
Krystal clenched her hands tightly, furrowing her brows and involuntarily twitching the corners of her mouth.
She had been unaware of the situation 20 years ago. Because Melvin had been willing to pay a high price, she had
obtained a drug commonly used for child abduction.
She never expected that it would be used on Nicholas’ daughter…
Krystal closed her eyes and sighed deeply. “No matter what, let’s protect them first.”
Meanwhile, back in Centrolis…
A woman covered in bruises struggled to breathe in a dimly lit basement.
Repeatedly, saltwater was poured over her, ripping open her wounds and filling the basement with her agonizing
screams.
Nicholas sat at the center with an icy expression, surrounded by his subordinates, who watched the woman writhe
in pain on the ground with impassive faces.
One of the subordinates kicked her hard in the chest.
“Cooperate!” he demanded. “Where did you take the two misses? Tell us!”
The woman could only smile bitterly as she looked up at Nicholas, her gaze filled with cold determination.
Nicholas remained calm, but storms raged in his eyes. He glanced at his subordinates, and they immediately began
punching and kicking her, ensuring not to beat her to death.
This relentless torture was a method he often employed during his underworld days. He had left that past behind
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwhen he turned to the legal side. But now, he found himself returning to the bloodshed and violence he had once
renounced with his own hands.
Kneeling hadn’t worked, so now he would fight standing up. He was ready to become a demon once again if it
meant getting his daughter back.
Nicholas stood up slowly and approached the woman, holding a string of rosary beads in his hand. With a forceful
gesture, he scattered the beads on the ground, creating a clattering sound.
“I know Melvin promised you rewards for your family,” Nicholas said coldly. “But have you considered that I can find
your family just as easily as I found you? The underworld rules dictate that family should not be implicated, but I’m
breaking that rule today!”
The woman’s teeth clattered slightly as she struggled to lift her head.
Nicholas stomped on her head fiercely.
“You hurt my daughter first!” he exclaimed through gritted teeth, grinding the sole of his shoe against her face.
“Either tell me the truth, or I’ll make your family tell me!”
