Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Chapter 1243 Kidnapped

"What on earth happened?" Alex, gripping Zack's sturdy shoulders, asked with intense emotion.

Zack was gripped so tightly by Alex that it hurt. In haste, he spilled everything he knew to Alex.

When the wedding was taking place, Stanley didn't want to attend, so he asked Zachary to take him out for some fun. Zack, having nothing else to do, decided to join them for a walk.

Everything was going just fine. Unexpectedly, a group of people dressed in black suddenly appeared. Among them was an older woman who possessed remarkable strength. She held her own in a fight agains Zachary, not losing ground at all.

The old woman kept Zachary busy while the others kidnapped Stanley and were about to leave. Seeing that, Zachary became anxious and wanted to stop them. But as he was distracted, the old woman thrust a palm at him.

Caught completely off guard, Zachary was hit by the palm strike and immediately fainted. Zack was just an ordinary man, and coupled with his timid nature, he didn't dare to pursue the kidnappers. So, he rushed to inform Alex at the first opportunity.

"Who on earth dared to kidnap Stanley and even hurt Mr. Zachary? They must be incredibly audacious!" Flynn asked, somewhat infuriated.

After all, Stanley was his godson. It was only normal for him to be worried now that his godson was missing.

"I really have no idea! Their faces were covered, so I couldn't see who they were at all!" Zack said helplessly.

"Alex, could they be your enemy who has come for revenge? If so, will Stanley be in any danger?" Flynn asked Alex anxiously.

Alex was also overwrought, but at that moment, he had no solution. He simply couldn't figure out who could have possibly taken Stanley away.

Zachary had suffered severe injuries and was still unconscious. Alex made a medicinal pill for him that could heal his wounds. By the time Zachary woke up again, it was already noon the next day. "Dad, you're finally awake. Do you have any idea who took Stanley?" Alex asked anxiously.

Alex was completely at a loss during that whole day of waiting. His only option was to stay by Zachary's side, hoping the latter would wake up soon.

"You haven't located Stanley?" Zachary asked Alex, clutching his chest, which was still faintly aching.

Locate Stanley? I also wish to find him, but Zack's description of those people in black was just too vague. He didn't even get a clear look at their faces. With such scant information, I have no idea where to start.

"Even now, there's still no sign of Stanley. Dad, do you know who those people are? There was actually someone stronger than you?" Alex asked.

Alex had almost dealt with most of the people from the secret world. Among them, the only one who could be a match for Zachary was the elder of the Raven Sect. But how could the old man, who always wanted Alex to be the Raven Sect's sect leader, lay a hand on Alex's son?

Things were getting more and more chaotic. Alex couldn't help but wonder who he had offended to have his son taken away by those people.

"That old woman is also a second-phase Grandmaster. If I had fought with her only, I would have surely gained the upper hand. But they had the advantage in numbers. While I was held up by the old woman, they took Stanley away. It's my fault. I failed to protect Stanley," said Zachary, blaming himself.

Overwhelmed by agitation, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, staining the blanket red.

Alex quickly stepped forward to comfort his father, "Dad, don't panic. We can't rush this. Since they didn't harm you two directly but chose to kidnap Stanley, it means they have a purpose. Not hearing anything is the best news right now. I'm sure Stanley is fine. You must take good care of yourself."

Zachary sighed helplessly. Alex was right. Those people didn't kill them outright, so there might be a purpose behind it.

At that moment, Alex's phone suddenly rang, signaling the arrival of a new text message: If you want to save your son, then make a trip to Mountain of the Beasts!

The message came from an unfamiliar phone number that Alex had never seen before.
