Emanuele felt that things were taking a turn for the worse. While the external matters were left unresolved, new issues had arisen with Isabe.


    “Elisa, stay in the apartment for now. Let’s talk after I’ve resolved everything today. Your task remains to protect Isabe.”


    “Protect?” Elisa chuckled, her face filled with sarcasm. She wanted to protect Isabe, but she simply couldn’t. Having followed Emanuele for so many years, Elisa hadpleted numerous tasks sessfully. However, she had failed repeatedly in protecting Isabe. Elisa questioned herself: was she truly suited for this profession?


    She looked at Isabe lying in bed and fell into contemtion. “Alright, I will protect Isabe.”


    Emanuele had several armories in Chicago, each storing different weapons. These past few days, he had airlifted a new batch of arms.


    He was now at their armory, selecting suitable weapons. Standing beside him was the now recovered Phillip. Although his physical injuries had healed, scars remained on his face and body. The severity of these scars also affected his dexterity. He could no longer apany Emanuele on missions and had to take on more managerial duties.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Currently apanying Emanuele were James and Zak. “Phillip, Isabe is in a fragile state right now. I need to go after that scoundrel, William. I’m entrusting Isabe to you,” said Emanuele.


    Phillip nodded. “Don’t worry, boss. I’llfort Isabe.”


    In truth, when Isabe and Emanuele lost their child, Phillip had been shocked and deeply grieved. Upon learning of William’s actions, he wished to tear William apart. Even during his own captivity and torture by William, he had never felt such intense hatred. William’s actions, targeting an unborn child, disgusted them all as mobsters. While they engaged in criminal activities, Emanuele had his own principles. They never dealt in human trafficking or harmed children – it was their bottom line. William’s capacity for cruelty went beyond theirs.


    Gritting his teeth, Phillip went to the apartment where Isabe and Emanuele resided.


    James had been squatting in the warehouse for a while. Upon noticing Evelyn’s car parked near an abandoned warehouse, he immediately became alert and reported the matter to Emanuele.


    Another warehouse! Evelyn wouldn’t stay alone in an abandoned warehouse. William might be with her, waiting for Emanuele and his men to arrive. James observed the surroundings, determined not to let William escape this time.


    Inside the warehouse, William had been tormenting Evelyn for days. She ate, slept, and bathed in his room, feeling like his sex ve, subjected to his whims. Sometimes rough, sometimes gentle, she found herself unable to resist him.


    Sometimes, she took the initiative, kissing William, undressing him, and caressing his body, feeling his fascination with her. Regardless of whether William truly cared for her, his desire for her body was undeniable.


    However, he always wanted her to bear his child. Today, after William returned to the room, Evelyn took the initiative to undress him, kissing him. William quickly seized her, throwing her onto the bed, then pressing down on her. “You want me inside you so badly?”


    “I want you inside me. Come, William,” Evelyn said, wrapping her legs around him.


    Her seductive actions made William feel a burning desire. “Evelyn, you’re so wanton. Weren’t you hating me to death before?”


    “After leaving you, I suddenly found I couldn’t live without you. I craved your body, driving me mad. So, William, is that a good enough answer for you?”


    Listening to Evelyn’s words, William chuckled softly. “Of course. I hope this is your true desire deep down.”


    As he spoke, William leaned over Evelyn, nibbling at her neck. Unexpectedly, the slender hand that had been holding onto him now held a gleaming knife. In Evelyn’s eyes, a cold glint appeared. “William, go to hell!”


    Soon, Emanuele arrived at the scene with fifty men, surrounding the warehouse. James had also discovered the number of people outside, with five stationed guards, and narrowly avoided detection several times while scouting.


    Another sniper patrolled the high window, but a nearby forest shielded their movements. They needed to neutralize the sniper before engaging inbat.


    After reuniting with Emanuele, James briefed him on the warehouse surroundings. Emanuele nodded. “Let’s move.”


    Armed with eighty men and ample ammunition, they were uncertain how many people were inside the warehouse, but they surmised that William wouldn’t have many allies left.


    Emanuele’s men swiftly surrounded the warehouse amid a hail of bullets, and Emanuele and James stormed inside. However, upon pushing the door open, Emanuele was stunned to find noone inside. James led his team in a thorough search of the warehouse, then approached Emanuele, his face filled with disappointment.


    “Boss, William isn’t here. This seems to be one of his bases in Chicago, but he’s not here today.”


    God, William was truly cunning and dangerous. Not only did he have a stronghold in Chicago, but this was just one of many. Evelyn wasn’t here, so where could she have been taken?


    James was incredibly anxious, deeply worried about Evelyn’s safety. Emanuele reassured James, “I understand. He should be in another location.”


    He took out a map and pointed to it for James. “Immediately gather the guards in the vicinity and search the nearby warehouses. Quickly.”


    Having faced off with William countless times, analyzing his behavior, Emanuele knew that William sought absolute security and would likely hide in the opposite direction. He had to be there this time. There would be no mistakes.
