Revenge After Death ( Michael Ford )

Chapter 607

No sooner after Dayton left, someone sneakily went to check the container.

Zion did not expose his cover under Steven's reminder. The person had come alone knowing that was a huge amount of money. Surely, it wasn't to take it away.

The person opened up the container and glanced in to verify its authenticity. He then closed the container and left.

As expected, Steven was right. Those people only wanted to assess Dayton's capabilities and were not after the 30 million dollars.

That amount of money was insignificant to Genome Society. They wouldn't invite trouble for themselves by taking the money for good.

Everything went smoothly on Dayton's side as well. He soon obtained the item required by the abductor from the bank vault. From matching fingerprints and irises, everything went on seamlessly.

He returned with some time to spare.

"I've already brought the item you wanted. Release her!" Dayton said in his call to the abductor.

"Place the item inside the tenth trash can and leave the place. We'll send her back safe and sound at 10:00 pm tonight," the person spoke in a low tone. The police didn't even have enough time to locate them as the call ended quickly.

Dayton turned and left after placing the item in the trash can. Steven, Zion, and I were still observing from nearby.

As expected, someone walked over soon after. He did not take away the container full of money but only took the emerald vase away.

"That's worth hundreds of millions" I muttered softly.

I suddenly turned into a money-grubber after knowing how much it was worth. It was a shame to even let them get away with it.

"There's a chip installed in the emerald vase for tracking." Steven squeezed my hand.

I let out a relieved sigh. "That's great, then. I'll feel heartbroken otherwise."

Steven looked at me before softly whispering, "I'm rich, honey. I have lots of money."

I ignored him. He almost blurted out the fact that he was the president of Crowdstar Group now.

Dayton's residence was brightly lit even at 10:00 pm. He could only pace around while he waited as he could no longer reach the abductor by phone.

As soon as it hit 10:0 pm, a car passed by and threw out a huge suitcase before speeding away.

Dayton and Joel ran out to open the suitcase, revealing Xandra within.

She was still unconscious with her hands tied. Her clothes remained the same as what she wore when she was abducted. It seemed like no one had touched her, after all.

"Don't move." Joel raised a hand and signaled Dayton to stay still.

Both of them struggled to drag her into the room. They only let the police and doctor in to check on her

after making sure that no one was keeping an eye on them from the outside. "We'll need to take her blood sample to check for any illegal substances she might have been injected with."

They found needle marks after checking Xandra's arm. It was unclear whether she had been injected with a sedative or something else.

"Something was implanted in her head." The doctor discovered a wound on Xandra's head. They saw a small incision after parting her hair.

"Let's take an X-ray tomorrow." Zion's face paled. Those people were ruthless.

"It's a miniature chip bomb that can be controlled remotely. It's embedded under the scalp. It might be risky to remove it. This thing... is normally used on spies or infiltrators in war zones," Steven softly said. Dayton immediately turned as white as a sheet. His fingers trembled as he asked, "What do we do..." Xandra was innocent. She had been wrongly implicated. I grew anxious as I looked at Steven.

"Let's see what they're up to." He signaled for Dayton to call the abductor. Yet, Dayton's fingers kept trembling as he couldn't calm himself down.

Steven frowned before walking up to grab his wrists. "Calm down."
