    “You worry too much. Ms. Griffith. I''m not in that line of work.’’ Amused, the man chuckled before


    continuing. "I won''t have to ding you if you''re willing to leave with me. Otherwise, you leave me no


    choice but to render you unconscious.’’


    Even though the man spoke in a gentle tone. Rayna could not help but felt a chill running down her


    spine. “I don''t know you. so how do I know I''ll be safe if I leave with you?”


    From the man''s tone. Rayna could tell that he was no average kidnapper, so she tried to negotiate with


    him calmly to avoid provoking him unnecessarily. After all. upsetting him would do her no good but get


    her into more trouble.


    “We''ve met before." replied the man. His tone of voice remained calm and gentle. “It was more than ten


    years ago. You looked for me on the mountain with your brother back then.”


    “You''re that old traditional medicine practitioner?” Rayna could hardly believe what she had just heard.


    “That''s right.” When the man saw how he had helped jog Rayna''s memory of him. he stopped


    threatening her and hoped she would cooperate willingly.


    “I mean you no harm. Ms. Griffith; I just need something in you as a medicine primer. Don''t worry. It''s


    not pail of you. just something temporary. I''m sure Mr. Faymon wouldn''t want you to keep it anyway.”


    exined the practitioner. However, he did not mention a word about the parasite since he did not want


    to scare Rayna.


    “But my husband isn''t here yet: I can''t just leave with you.” Rayna remained vignt even though she


    was somewhat relieved to discover that the person before her was the old traditional medicine


    practitioner. "Besides, you''re the reason my husband and I came here. Now that you''ve found me


    instead, we need to wait for my husband so—”


    Rayna suddenly got interrupted by the siren of a police caring from outside the hotel and did not


    manage to finish her sentence.


    Before she could react, the room was filled with a soft scent that quickly knocked her out.


    Just when the practitioner was picking up the unconscious Rayna. the bodyguard on the other side of


    the door walked in. “I thought you said you weren''t going to hurt her. What is this?”


    “That''s not what I''m trying to do: I need to leave with her as soon as possible because the police are


    here. I don''t have time.” With that, the practitioner left the room with Rayna. followed by the bodyguard.


    Outside the hotel room were two bodyguards rendered utterly unconscious.

    Wlien Curtis failed to reach Rayna or the bodyguards assigned to protect her by phone, he ordered


    before rushing downhill. “You two stay here: the rest of youe with me!”


    Two hours had passed when Curtis finally reached the hotel, so naturally. Rayna was already long


    gone. Curtis then called Rayna''s phone again and realized that it was vibrating in the drawer by the


    bedside. He immediately staggered backward when he confirmed that the device belonged to Rayna. If


    it were not for Robin''s quick reaction. Curtis would have fallen to the ground.


    “Go. Robin. Get somebody to contact the local police. Hurry!” Curtismanded Robin in a shaky


    voice, and immediately after hearing that, the assistant took action.


    Curtis almost lost Ills mind when he found Rayna missing once again. It was my fault: I shouldn''t have


    left her. I''ve already noticed how involved she was with the tilings that happenedtely, yet I... was still


    careless.


    “Mr. Faymon. the hotel should have surveince cameras." reminded one of the bodyguards who


    followed Curtis from the mountain.


    “Right! Surveince cameras!” eximed Curtis as if a lightbulb had lit up above his head. "Get it done.


    Communicate with the staff and get me the surveince footage.”


    “Okay." responded the bodyguard before hurrying away.


    Seated in the RV. the young man stared at Rayna lying beside him from time to time.


    The middle-aged man opposite them smirked when he noticed the situation. “So you''ve fallen for her.


    huh?”


    Wlien the young man heard that, he immediately retracted his gaze and shifted his cold eyes to the


    middle-aged man instead. “Are you the dosage you used on her won''t have any side effects?”


    “It was nothing strong, so quit worrying,” reassured the middle-aged man before grabbing a bottle of


    water and handing it to the young man. “GT''s product development has entered the final stage. If this


    stage is sessfill. Mr. Zeller will be able tounch the project he wants.”


    “Does he really have what it takes to differentiate the GT products from the skincare products in the


    market?” It was obvious that the young man doubted what the middle-aged man had just said.


    Although I don''t know the exact ingredients of the expensive skincare products that women use daily, I


    have heard from others that most of the products are extracted from nts. Of course, there are some


    products that are extracted from animals, but there aren''t many of them in the market. Most of the


    products recognized by consumers use nts as then raw materials.


    The middle-aged man tightened his grip on the bottle when he heard the young man. but after


    recollecting himself, he looked up at the young man and replied. “He does.”


    The young man was relieved as soon as he heard that. However, he still could not help but nce at


    the unconscious Rayna from time to time.


    shing across his mind was the day he sneaked into the Faymon residence by pretending to be


    Chandler to confinn if Rayna''s eyes were actually unwell. That was the first time they met.


    He did not get to take a close look at Rayna''s face back then, and part of the reason was the bright


    light that day. Finally, the young man could see her clearly at such a close distance.


    Noticing how the young man continued to nce at Rayna. the old traditional medicine practitioner


    closed his bottle after taking a sip of water and inquired, “You’ve... met her before?”


    “I have.” answered the young man. “Just once.”


    “I see." The traditional medicine practitioner nodded after hearing that. Then, he moved on to another


    question. “Wlien did youe over?”


    “It was Mr. Zeller who ordered us toe here. He said Mr. Faymon and his wife hade to


    Shvomhid Mountain." replied the young man. who then gazed at the practitioner as though he had


    recalled something. “What was that thing that attacked Curtis on the mountainst night?”


    It was obvious that the young man did not forget the ck furry thing that ran out of the bushes the


    night before.


    The ce where Curtis was did not have much light, so it was only natural that the young man failed to


    get a good look. However, from his point of view, the young man saw the ck furry creature clearly


    and could tell that it was charging toward Rayna. If she had not noticed it in time, it probably would


    have rushed forward to attack her.


    Wlien the old traditional medicine practitioner heard that, he smiled calmly. “It was just a stray cat. You


    couldn''t see well because it was dark!”


    The young man then narrowed Ills eyes suspiciously at the practitioner.
