Chapter 734 Two Ladies
Chapter 734 Two Ladies
Kingsley shook his head and did not blame Lucas for his selfishness.
There was nothing wrong with caring about one's benefit and disregarding others.
That was just Lucas' way of protecting himself.
He was just an ordinary person who was struggling and working hard to live his life.
Therefore, he shouldn't be morally obligated to sacrifice himself for others and become a lone hero.
It was enough that he had the intention to help.
Sacrificing oneself to protect others was the responsibility Coliree Island and Ares had to shoulder.
It was also the reason for their existence.
With that in mind, Kingsley calmly explained, "I came alone. We can't cause a huge commotion when saving the hostage. Also, you can rest assured that no one will die today. Even if someone dies, sufficient compensation will be given."
Upon hearing that, Lucas immediately felt relieved. "That makes me feel more relieved."
Then, he whispered, "Officer, how will we rescue the child? We are not sure if he is in Room 201 or 202. I saw on TV that if the family reports to the police, the kidnappers will kill the child, so you can't just barge inside."
Kingsley nodded. "That's why I need you to check the surveillance cameras first and see which room they entered." Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
After hesitating for a moment, Lucas explained somewhat embarrassedly, "Officer, Twinfield County North Coach Station is an old station, and our motel has been around for a long time. We... don't
have surveillance cameras..."
That answer rendered Kingsley speechless.
Seeing Kingsley's displeased expression, Lucas quickly said, "But I have a universal access card. You can open the door and go in. Our rooms are very small, so you can see everything in a second."
Kingsley shook his head. "What if I open Room 201 and the child is in Room 202? They might try to escape."
He furrowed his brow, trying to think of a solution.
Suddenly, he remembered what Lucas had mentioned earlier. A pimp had sent two women to this motel.
Moreover, the word "pimp" made the two women's identities very evident.
At the same time, Kingsley also recalled the scene at Sunshine Casino, where Scarlett entered his room and played the badger game.
Letting those women head inside to investigate would certainly not arouse Horace and his men's suspicion.
After all, anything could happen in a "filthy" motel like this.
Thinking of that, Kingsley asked Lucas, "Is there a more convenient place to talk? Bring those two women you mentioned earlier too."
"Of course! We have nothing but many rooms here."
Saying that, Lucas took an access card and brought Kingsley to the adjacent room, Room 101.
Then, he called the two women and asked them to come over immediately.
The room was very small, with only a double bed and an old chair with paint peeling off.
There wasn't even a bathroom.
Kingsley sat on the chair and asked, "Are Rooms 201 and 202 arranged the same way?"
"Yes, all the rooms are identical," Lucas replied.
Turning his head to look at the dilapidated window frame, Kingsley immediately knew that Cayden was tied to the window. That was because, in the video sent by Horace, there was a moment where a rusty window frame appeared on the screen.
However, Rooms 201 and 202 were on the same side, so it was difficult to tell from the outside which room Cayden was in.
Kingsley was in the middle of contemplating.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Someone knocked on the door.
Lucas opened the door, and two heavily made-up women walked in, yawning.
They complained as soon as they entered, "Lucas, we just fell asleep. What's the matter? We still have work to do tonight!"
While speaking, they noticed Kingsley sitting on the chair.
One of the woman's eyes lit up immediately. "Oh, he's so handsome!"
The other one also flirtatiously said, "Yes, it's been a long time since I've seen such a handsome man!"
