Chapter 1489


    The ind was still in the throes of battle.


    Ian, with Oliver in tow, had made their escape.


    Oliver was unscathed, huffing and puffing as he trailed behind Ian.


    "Ian, are you off to see yourdy love now?"


    "Yeah."


    Ian''s tone was frosty. Hearing the gunfire outside, he pointed to a covert path.


    "Take this way."


    He had familiarized himself with the surroundings over the past few days.


    After running for a while, Oliver felt that the sounds of battle had grown distant.


    Standing in the middle of the street, Ian questioned some shadowy figures.


    "Where is she?"


    "Mr. Raymond, we located Ms. Pennyfeather ten minutes ago. Please, follow me."


    The shadowy group was a forcemanded by the patriarch of the Porter family.


    With the family ring bestowed upon Ian by Oliver, Ian had be their new master.


    "What about the other woman I asked you to find?"


    "She''s on Outer Ind, but it''splicated."


    "How so?"


    "She''s the spitting image of the woman in the photo you gave us, but she''s blind, deaf, and locked up in


    a pitch-dark cer."


    With his heart skipping a beat, Ian wondered what had befallen Cynthia.

    He lowered hisshes, "Let''s head to Maja first."


    "Understood."


    The group hastened toward Maja''s location, yet Maja was still bedridden.


    The ruckus on Middle Ind tonight hadn''t gone unnoticed by her.


    As her eyshes fluttered, she woke to find Patric standing by her bed and staring down with a grave


    expression.


    She clutched the sheets, with her brows furrowing in rm.


    "What are you doing?"


    But Patric didn''t speak. Instead, he sped her throat tightly.


    Maja gasped for air, feeling as if life itself was being squeezed out of her.


    Patric watched her face, then suddenly struck the back of her head.


    She cked out.


    He scooped her up and carried her to the car parked in the yard.


    The car breezed through the checkpoints of Middle Ind and headed into Inner Ind.


    Ian was a step toote. By the time he arrived, the ce was deserted.


    "Where are they?"


    He red at the figures lurking in the dark; they knelt hurriedly.


    "Mr. Raymond, the man with Ms. Pennyfeather took her to Inner Ind."


    The leader respectfully presented a photograph, and upon seeing it, Ian recognized Patric.


    Patric had already joined forces with Maja and taken her to Inner Ind without authorization. What


    was he up to?


    Oliver peeked out from behind, his brows knitted in worry.


    "Ian, you''re not thinking of going back to Inner Ind, are you? We''ve just managed to escape from


    there. My grandfather is still fighting those men, and once it''s over, they''re bound to return to Inner


    Ind tonight. Those families see you as a threat; if you go back, you''ll be a target. Even if you''re


    masquerading as BLACK, what if you''re found out?" Co?tent of Dr?м??ovеls.cоm


    "I have to find Maja."


    He turned to leave, determined to get in the car, but Oliver grabbed him.


    "You don''t need toe with me to Middle Ind. Wait for me here. Once I find Maja, I''lle back for


    you."


    "Do you think you''ll make it back alive?"
