Chapter 1105: A Shocking Disappearance
As the night grew darker, Shiela found herself sobbing under a dimly lit streetlamp after running out of the hospital. Her cries echoed, elongating her shadow on the pavement.
She didn’t care about Dustin’s status or power; she simply liked him for who he was. She couldn’t fathom why everyone was against them. Did two people in love really have to be from the same social class?
“Why? Why is this happening?” She whispered to herself in despair.
Suddenly, a black van with fake plates screeched to a halt by the side of the road. The door slid open, and a group of masked men in dark attire swiftly disembarked, surrounding Shiela.
“Who are you? What do you want?” She said cautiously, taking a step back.
“Miss Murray, our master would like to see you. Please come with us,” the leader of the masked group said politely with a slight bow, extending a hand as if offering assistance.
“I’m not going anywhere! Get away from me!” Shiela retreated, her guard up.
“Capture her!” the leader ordered with a hand signal. The masked men rushed forward and swiftly tied her up.
“Let go of me! Let go of me now!” Shiela screamed as they forcibly dragged her towards the van.
“Miss Murray, we apologize for this inconvenience, but we must take you with us,” the leader said calmly as they bundled her into the van.
With a sudden rev of the engine, the van sped away, leaving behind one of Shiela’s kicked-off shoes on the deserted street.
Back at Zypher Lodge, Dustin was enjoying a drink with his comrades from the Kirin Gang. They had been celebrating his appointment as the new head of the Yanlong Hall, a position previously held by Nelson Horst.
Late into the night, Dustin’s phone rang abruptly. Answering it, he heard a stranger’s voice, “Is this Mr. Dustin? Your girlfriend, Shiela, is in my hands. If you want to ensure her safety, bring the Seven-Colored Spirit Mushroom (Cherusia) to the North Steel Factory. I’ll be waiting. Remember, come alone.”
The call ended abruptly, and Dustin received a video shortly afterward. In the video, Shiela was suspended in the air, looking disheveled, surrounded by menacing figures.
After watching the video, Dustin’s face darkened. He hadn’t expected trouble right after leaving the hospital. It was clear that Shiela’s kidnapping had been meticulously planned.
“Continue drinking, I need to take care of something,” Dustin said to his companions, his expression turning grave.
As he left the villa, he couldn’t help but wonder who could be behind this kidnapping and why they were after the Seven-Colored Spirit Mushroom (Cherusia).
