"This is Bridgedale. Aryadelle's laws can't touch me," David continued with a chuckle.
"Even if that's the case, someone's using news of our scandals to blackmail us into saving her! Release her this instance!" "l won't," David said determinedly. "I want her to extend my life for me. She's a medical genius. I'm sure she can come up with a way to prolong life!" "Are you sure?" "l am," said David.
"Then, don't touch her for now... You have to keep her alive," said Senator Kane. "I'll deal with things here. You better make that woman stay with you willingly. That way, this won't turn into a subject for ridicule!" "Got it!" The smile on David's face died down.
Make her stay willingly? How could he make Avery stay by his side willingly? That afternoon, Mike found Elliot at a mysterious, special security company.

David Grimes's current residence was on top of a mountain.
At this point, they had already come up with a detailed terrain model and a rough battle plan in the command room! "You really are something, Elliot Foster! From what I've heard, this security company isn't open to normal folk." Mike said after pulling Elliot aside to speak privately.
"Am | considered normal folk?" Elliot’s expression was solemn.
"I guess not... What | meant was that this security company doesn't even work with typical rich people!" Mike said animatedly.
"The hidden head behind this company is the former Chief of Staff... The people who work here are officially called bodyguards, but they're actually contract killers..." "In your eyes, am | a typical rich person?" A clear look of doubt appeared in Elliot's eyes. "Who isn't a typical rich person, then? Please enlighten me." Mike was speechless.
"God d*mn it!" Mike cursed internally. They were discussing important matters, but it ended up being an opportunity for Elliot to show off! "I told you before that as long as | have enough money, there will naturally be people who would risk their lives for me." A dark menace appeared in Elliot's eyes as he said, "We'll get Avery back before sunrise tomorrow!" "If you're using gunfire, you have to make sure she doesn’t get hurt!" Mike said.
"I'm going there personally!" Elliot's tone was certain as his eyes were cold Then, he turned and walked back to the command room.
Mike's impression of Elliot took a turn.
He was going to rescue Avery without thinking about the cost or worrying for his life.

Since arriving in Bridgedale that morning, there was not one moment when he was relaxed. He kept thinking of Avery.
The thought of her possibly being threatened and picked on made him feel like his heart was being stabbed again and again! His phone suddenly rang.
He pulled it out and saw that it was an incoming video call.
Elliot held his breath and accepted the call.
Avery's face appeared in front of him without warning, followed by her screams.
"Let me go! You animal!” Elliot's breath quickened as the cigarette fell from his fingers.
He saw a silver-haired man pinning Avery down and forcefully taking her clothes off!
