"Master Cedrick, good news! Miss rk has been kidnapped!" Charles shouted excitedly.
Cedrick narrowed his eyes coldly. "What did you say?"
"The reason Miss rk isn''t here at the airport is that she’s been kidnapped, not because she wants to refuse you!"
Charles handed the video and screenshots of the surveince footage.
Cedrick stared at the screen on the phone intently and saw Catelyn getting into a taxi, but the driver started to drive
further away from her destination and eventually turned to direct an evil smile at her.
''A taxi?'' He thought to himself, ''Was she on her way here to the airport?''
For a moment, he felt as though he had ascended from hell to heaven. Of course, he quickly got over his relief and
excitement and became concerned with Catelyn''s safety. He could not allow her to get hurt again.
Cedrick looked away from the phone andmanded coldly, "Find out where this taxi has headed to!"
20 minutester, his subordinate came back and reported that they had located the taxi, but a bigger problem
emerged.
The car was abandoned at the bottom of a mountain in the outskirts; the area was generally referred to
as the Forest of Death. Covered byrge forestation, thendscape wasplicated and the area was
a habitat for various kinds of wild animals, so no one would dare step foot into the area under normal
circumstances.
Catelyn could have been taken anywhere in that vast forest.
Cedrick arrived outside the Forest of Death, regret filling his eyes as he stared at the never-ending sea
of trees before him. Had he not let Catelyn leave the night before or simply took her to the airport
directly...
There was no point in wondering ''what if''.
"I''ve checked the perimeters, Master Cedrick. This forest is really dangerous. It''s a swampy area too,
so those people must be very familiar with this area to take Miss rk in with them."
Cedrick clenched his fists. "Find a few locals and bring them here. I need to ask them something."
Catelyn was carried away, and after what felt like forever, her kidnapper finally stopped and tossed her
onto the ground like she was a piece of cargo.
Her head bumped into a rock on the ground and she internally gasped from the pain, but she did not
dare open her eyes out of fear that the kidnapper would realize she was awake.

She should be safe for as long as she pretended to be unconscious.
Catelyn had no idea why she had been kidnapped. She originally thought that the driver wanted to rob
or assault her, but she was surprised to find out that there were others. She realized that there was a
bigger scheme behind this.
While the kidnappers were discussing something, she took the chance to observe her surroundings.
It was an abandoned old hut with wooden windows and doors, arge shelf in the center of the room,
and fabrics hanging on it.
The air was filled with a rotten scent, and she realized that it must have been a long time since
someone had lived here.
"Boss, are we really doing as our employer said? That''s so much money..."
"Yeah. If he gives it to us, we won''t be able to spend it all even if we have ten lives! We won''t have to do this sort of
thing ever again."
The person with a scar across his face gave the other two a punch to the head and warned with a dark voice, "Just
because we can get our hands on that money, doesn''t mean we get to spend it. Quit yammering on and get to work."
''Employer?'' She thought, ''Who hired them to kidnap me?''
Just as Catelyn was considering if Maia or Ivan had sent the assassins, she heard footsteps approaching.
Ssh!
A ssh of ice-cold water hit her on the face, and she shivered at the sensation before opening her eyes by reflex.
The first thing she saw was a few towering men standing before her; their faces were unmasked and revealed to
Catelyn.
An ominous feeling had taken over her.
If they were not afraid of letting her see their faces, it meant that they had no intention of letting her go alive.
