Percy knew what Luke was thinking, so he patted him on the shoulders. “Once the Island of Despair is eradicated,
she can finally be with you for good."
"Yeah." Luke's voice was hoarse, and he was getting dizzy from anger.
It was the anger he had toward the Island of Despair.
The thugs from the Island of Despair were actually brave enough to pick on him back then.
This time, after the resurgence of the Island of Despair, they picked on Luca.
There was no way he would ever let them get away with it!
"Come, let's have a drink. The surveillance footage will probably be sent over by the time we're done drinking."
Percy opened another bottle of wine.
His subordinates were drinking in the room next door, and they began investigating Pierre's whereabouts while
waiting for the footage to be sent over.
They drank until dawn.
When there was finally a knock on the door, the three of them simultaneously put down their wine glasses. "It's
here," Percy said.
Jim turned off the music in the room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPercy raised his voice and said, "Come in."
Adrian pushed the door open before walking in and said, "Mr. Pierre, we've watched all the footage."
"Did you find anything?" Percy asked.
Adrian shook his head and said, "The only thing we found was that your brother last appeared at the borders of A
City and X City. Those people were very slick as they changed vehicles more than once midway. The sun had risen
toward the end, and the number of vehicles on the road increased, so it's hard for us to guess which car Pierre was
brought into."
Percy raised his eyebrows. He had expected this outcome.
After all, it was the Island of Despair. It took them a great deal of effort to arrest all the members of the old Island
of Despair back then, so it was only natural that the new Island of Despair would not be much worse off.
"Would they be in X City?" Luke murmured. Since he was last seen between A CIty and X City, he reckoned that
there was a good chance that Pierre could have been kidnapped to X City.
"Isn't X City your hometown?" Jim frowned.
"Yes." Luke nodded. What he said was true, but there were not many people in X City who could help them.
After Old Master Crawford had secured his foothold here, he did not further develop his business in X City as it was
a highland. Other than tourism, there were little to no prospects for other businesses.
Therefore, the Crawford family did not hold much power there other than their reputation.
"If he really is in X City, then it'll be hard to investigate this case." Jim was aware of that fact.
None of them had expanded their businesses to X City, and even the Crawford family had only a little influence
there, so there were not many locals they could ask for help.
When it came to tasks like investigation, the locals would always be of much better help than the people they sent
over there.
Percy had a sullen look. "The Island of Despair had planned this kidnapping for a long time."
Otherwise, they would not have chosen X City.
Adrian said in response, "There's no guarantee that Pierre's in X City. The car might've disappeared at the borders
of A City and X City, but they could be misleading us on purpose..."
"It's quite unlikely.." Jim shook his head as he felt that they would not go to such lengths.
"Since they changed cars midway and even appeared in the surveillance footage, they must be somewhere in X
City. Now, we have to find out where they took Pierre, so it looks like we have to send people to X City. Luke, do Gale
and Rain have people in X City?"
"No." Luke looked dejected too.
X City was not in T Corporation's development strategy, so he did not have Gale and Rain deploy manpower in X

Adrain responded, "If you really want to look for him in X City, we can go there right now, but it'll be hard since
we're not familiar with the place. Would you still want to go, then, Mr. Mallory?"
"Did you really not find him in the footage?" Percy looked at him.
Adrian shook his head. "After realizing that Mr. Pierre might have been kidnapped to X City, I even hacked their
surveillance system, but I couldn't find anything useful in any of the clips. I don't know what car they changed into,
and the resolution of the footage is not great, so it's hard to find him." Surveillance cameras were not like actual
cameras that could clearly show the inside of the car.
Moreover, Pierre must have been unconscious the entire ride as he did not even appear in a single frame of the
many footages they watched.
If it were not for the fact that there were not many cars on the road when the kidnapper left, it would have been
impossible for them to track down the second car they changed into.
"I'll send Gale to X City," said Luke as he picked up his phone to give the order.
Besides, Gale was from the Island of Despair, so he knew how the Island of Despair handled things.
Perhaps, he would be able to find something in X City.
