Chapter 103: He Finally Sees The Kidnapped Child
Instead of waiting for Kane to come around, lan pulled Vivian's hand and ran off.They did not know where they had to go to seek help, but all they knew was they had to do something to find their Mommy and save Matteo.
After a while, Kane finally came back to his senses and ran over to the two children.
"Hey! Where do you think you're going?"
"Let us go! We want to go save Mommy!" lan bellowed in uncontrollable rage.
He glared at Kane with his eyes full of hatred as he pushed his hand away forcefully.
It did not take long before lan realized his blunder.
He had shouted "Mommy" twice when he was lashing out at Kane. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
To lan's surprise, instead of interrogating him, Kane seemed unusually calm.
He looked at the two kids for a few seconds and dragged them into the car.
"Stay inside!"
Speaking, he slammed the door behind them and went to the driver's seat before the car zoomed off.
Within a few minutes, the black Maybach was already out of Old Town when Kylo called.
"Mr.Ronin, I've got their whereabouts.They are in an abandoned vessel by the pier.We've already sent some helicopters and snipers over."
"Got it."
Kane hung up after receiving news from Kylo.
He straightened his back and stepped hard on the pedal as the car sped down the street.
Although he was caught in a tense situation, his face did not betray any emotions.
Kane drove on steadily, just as he would any other day when he was going to work.
Despite his cool, it was obvious that he took this incident seriously.
After all, he had sent out helicopters and a few snipers.
This itself was enough to illustrate how severe the situation was.
A glimmer of zest broke out on the abductor's face when his phone rang - he had been waiting anxiously for Kane's call for the past fifteen minutes.
"Mr.Ronin, have you made up your mind?"
"Where's the kid?"
Kane ignored his question and interrogated the man about the child instead.
"How do you know he's not dead?"
The man asked after a slight pause.An apathetic chuckle came from Kane's side.
"I figured you won't kill the child, ‘cause it's money you want.
Besides, it's not like you have the guts to kill my son.You can't afford to."
Kane's threats rendered the man speechless.What Kane said was true, so the kidnapper had nothing to say in retaliation.
"Well, yes, the child is still alive.I hope you've got the money ready."
"I have the one billion you want, but you'll have to prove to me that the child is still alive," Kane negotiated calmly but firmly.
One billion was not a small amount, so Kane thought he had better err on the cautious side and make sure Matteo was alive.
After all, Kane Ronin would never make a losing bargain.
The man half-expected Kane's request.
Thus, he fiddled with his phone for a bit and switched the voice call to a video call.
When the video got less grainy and Kane could finally take a good look at the hostage, he finally understood why it was not a prank call.
The kidnapper really had a child with him.
But he was not the only person in the video.
There was another woman.
Although her face was splattered with blood, she had her shaking arms around the boy.
"What are you doing? Don't touch him!" the injured woman yelled.
When the woman realized the man had them caught on a video, her arms tightened around the child she was protecting, trying to shield him from harm.
Amora Rory! Without Kane himself realizing, a hint of anger sparkled in his eyes as he narrowed his eyes at the familiar figure.
"Get lost, woman! Or I'll kill both of you!"
The man shouted and lifted his leg to kick Amora's back mercilessly.
"Mommy!"
Matteo bawled the moment Amora fell to the ground.
The impact sent a fresh flow of blood gushing out of her shoulder as she hit against the cold, wet floor.
On the other hand, Kane's face was taut with concentration.
His nails dug deep into the leather steering wheel as his grip intensified.
"Mommy!"
Matteo cried out frantically as he knelt in front of Amora, demented with worry and fear.
"Come over here, you brat! Come over if you don't want your mother to die!"
The man gave Matteo a brutal tug and dragged the five-year-old over effortlessly, like an eagle preying on a small animal.
"Let him go!"
Amora scrambled desperately towards the brute, stumbling her way to Matteo.
Her body was soaked in blood, and yet, she was relentless.
The man booted her aside and brought Matteo closer so Kane could see him.
Kane almost hit the brake pedal in an emergency when he saw the boy.
What he saw hit him like a lightning bolt.
He jerked his head closer to the screen and scrutinized the boy before his eyes.
Who is he? lan? Wait, no! lan's in the car.
Who on earth is this boy? Why does he look so much like lan? His eyelids twitched as he looked at Matteo.
An inexplicable glint flashed in his eyes as Kane fixed his gaze on the child.
