Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 727 Selena Would Be in Danger

As soon as Raymond hit the bar's entrance, he bumped into Paul.

Paul had a cig hanging from his fingers and saw him about to bounce, saying, "Alex said you're doing better. I wanted to chat about Christopher." No matter the time, news about Christopher always took the front seat.

Raymond headed to his car and tossed the keys to Paul. "Talk while we roll home."

He'd been drinking and couldn't drive, so Paul had to take the wheel.

Raymond had knocked back quite a few tonight and shut his eyes as soon as he got in the car.

Paul looked ahead and said in a flat tone, "All the draft papers have been scanned, but apart from that one line of poetry, we got zilch." Raymond told Paul, "My brother told my dad he liked a girl, but my dad was a bit tipsy that night and couldn't remember her name."

Paul kept analyzing while waiting at a red light. "The source of the notebook Olivia provided is a dead end, like someone wiped it clean. But Christopher's fingerprints on it are legit. I've had people digging around Silver Bay City, but all we've found is a spike in illegal immigrants. Your dad should've given you a heads-up, right? We don't even know who these folks are after."

When Raymond opened his eyes, he saw Paul had parked the car in front of a villa, but it wasn't Manston Manor.

"Raymond, I recently nabbed someone, but since your brain injury hadn't healed, I didn't tell you."

Raymond frowned and shot a message to Selena on his phone: [I'll be late.]

Selena hadn't gone into Manston Manor either. It was already past 1 AM, and the servants were out cold. No lights inside, just some glow in the courtyard.

She waited outside, shivering in the cold night wind.

Meanwhile, Raymond followed Paul inside and saw a dude hanging from the ceiling.

The guy was covered in wounds, his upper body stripped bare. There was a small tattoo on the back of his neck, about the size of a coin, looking like a jellyfish. The tattoo was super detailed.

Paul had only ever caught dead people before and had never seen a tattoo on anyone.

"Raymond, you ever seen this kind of tattoo before? The folks we've run into before rarely had such tattoos, so I'm wondering if these recent illegal immigrants might be some core members?" Paul asked.

Raymond thought for a moment and recognized the jellyfish, known to be one of the most venomous creatures out there.

A sting from it could be fatal in under four minutes, with no medical treatment available. It was known as the king of poisons.

Indeed, very few people would ink this on themselves.

Raymond used his gun to lift the guy's chin, revealing a blank face.

He asked Paul, "Didn't get anything else out of him?"

Paul replied, "He won't say a word, and no matter how much we beat him, his expression stays blank, like he feels nothing."

This was tricky. They either had to off him or let him go. "Did you show him my brother's photo?" Raymond asked.

"Yeah, but there was no reaction in his eyes," Paul replied.

Could it be that they weren't here for Christopher? There were a lot of illegal immigrants this time. Could there be multiple factions? Raymond glanced at the time. "We'll deal with it later. I need to head back now."

With that, he walked out.

But Selena, waiting at Manston Manor, had already retreated to her car due to the cold.

She turned on the car's heater and drove back to Ashbourne Manor, feeling it wasn't worth it to freeze out here just to make a point. Halfway there, she suddenly hit someone.

Terrified, she slammed on the brakes and got out to check, her face pale.

Strangely, although she had clearly hit someone, there was nothing under the car.

She felt a chill down her spine, like she had run into something supernatural.

She quickly got back in the car, but just as she was about to drive off, a sharp knife pressed against her neck.

A man slowly approached, turning his head to look at her.

Selena tried to see his face in the rearview mirror, but the man pushed her head down with one hand. "Stay still, and I won't hurt you."

Selena's hands were cuffed behind her, and she was pushed into the passenger seat.

Just as the man was about to drive, he noticed a bright light shining from behind.

It was Raymond's car.

Raymond recognized Selena's car in front.

But the next second, the man in the driver's seat floored the gas pedal.

Raymond's eyes darkened, and he immediately ordered checkpoints to stop the car.

But the driver was reckless, crashing into anything in his way, determined to push through.

Raymond didn't dare act rashly. If there was an accident, Selena would be in danger too. He could only follow closely, ensuring they didn't lose her.
