    Chapter 1411 Dead or Alive


    By the time Adam arrived, Joseph had already gotten out of bed.


    "What are you doing here?" he asked puzzledly.


    "I''m still worried about the whole situation with Remus'' family so I came to discuss things with you."


    Adam sat on the couch and shared his concerns. "Nichs won''t let things slide so easily. He and Kieran


    are close. I''m sure he''ll do a thorough investigation."


    Joseph chuckled.


    "Doesn''t that work exactly in our favor? I''d be more worried if that punk doesn''t investigate the ident


    and focuses on our ounts instead."


    "Aren''t you afraid that he might link the ident back to us?" Adam stared anxiously at Joseph.


    "Rx, Adam," Josephughed. "It can''t be traced back to us. I had them prepare for all possibilities.


    Even if Nichs looks into it, he''ll only find what we want him to find."


    Even so, Adam was still uneasy.


    "That''s not enough. I''m still worried."


    "Why don''t I have them do it again then? It''d be good for us too. If something happens to both Nichs


    and Kieran, Remus'' family would be thrown into chaos, and we can even take advantage of that situation


    to reap some benefits for ourselves."


    The sess of this attempt got to Joseph''s head. He wanted to double down and do it again with


    Nichs as the target.


    However, Adam talked him out of it. "There''s no point trying to do it again now. Nichs will surely be on


    his guard."


    Thus, Joseph gave up on that idea.


    It was only a spur-of-the-moment suggestion. In reality, he knew he couldn''t make a move against


    Nichs now.


    Before Joseph could speak, Adam stated, "Now that Nichs is busy looking for Kieran, think of a way to


    dy Nichs'' investigations. I''ll do my best to fudge the ounts and get rid of all the information that


    could be used against us."


    Meanwhile, it waste at night back in Xerthania.


    The rescue team had been searching for two hours but there was still no sign of Kieran.


    Nichs stood by the river with a grim expression. The pressuring aura that emanated from him made it


    hard for others to breathe around him.


    Dozens of boats were scattered along the river as the rescue team searched the water.


    Another half hour passed, and the leader of the rescue team walked over to Nichs.


    "President Sawyer, we found Master Kieran''s car earlier, but he wasn''t inside. He must''ve escaped from


    the car," the man informed.


    Nichs was frowning hard as he instructed coolly, "Since you didn''t find him, keep looking."


    "Well, we''ve searched for hours now and there''s still no sign of Master Kieran. I suspect that Master


    Kieran… must have sunk somewhere. There''s… a chance that he didn''t survive."

    The man''s voice grew fainter toward the end and his calves began trembling.


    The look in Nichs'' eyes was far too terrifying.


    Edward quickly came forward to mediate the situation. He didn''t want the leader of the rescue team to be


    scared out of his wits. That would only dy the rescue mission even further.


    Thanks to that, the man was able to exhale in relief.


    Edward voiced a possibility.


    "Is it possible that Master Kieran was swimming in the river and a passing boat saved him?"


    "That''s extremely unlikely."


    The man shook his head and exined, "We checked the situation earlier and found that no boats have


    passed by the river, so… it''s best if President Sawyer is mentally prepared for the worst."


    He carefully eyed Nichs again.


    Nichs clenched his fists. He couldn''t ept this oue.


    He didn''t believe that something happened to Kieran.


    He''s a quick-witted man. I''m sure he must be hiding somewhere waiting for us to save him.


    "Whether dead or alive, I won''t stop until he''s found. Keep searching!" Nichs snarled through gritted


    teeth. His eyes were bloodshot.


    The leader of the rescue team had no choice but to arrange for his team to carry on with the search.


    Edward could sense Nichs'' intense grief and sorrow. He wanted tofort thetter, but he didn''t


    know what to say.


    Fortunately, he was able to sigh in relief as he noticed Timothy approaching.


    The look in Nichs'' eyes was far too terrifying.


    Edward quickly came forward to mediate the situation. He didn''t want the leader of the rescue team to be


    scared out of his wits. That would only dy the rescue mission even further.
