Leon was sick of women crying, but she was his boss’s woman, so he had to be patient and say,
“Don’t worry. I’ll go out with my brothers and tell you as soon as I know anything!”
“Okay, I’m counting on you.” Nia’s only hope now was Leon.
Leon immediately contacted the other brothers, and the search lasted all night.
At five in the morning, as the street sanitation workers began to work and the open air outside cooled, Leon’s men reunited in the city center.
“I still can’t find him.”
“We’ve looked at all the suspicious abandoned factories in the suburbs.”
“We’ve checked out the clubs boss frequents.”
“Leon, what happened to boss?”
A dozen or so men gathered around, looking at one another and wondering what would happen to Jacob, but Leon was the only one who seemed calm.
“Shut the fuck up. You think you can make a man disappear like you did in Mexico?” Leon scolded his men.
Everyone shut up and looked at one another again, afraid to guess.
Leon threw the cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it with the tip of his shoe, then took out his cell phone and dialed Nia’s number, waiting for the tone to ring for less than two seconds before the call was connected.
“Leon, did you find Casper?”
Leon was silent for a moment,
“Not yet. I can’t find him anywhere.”
“What are we going to do?” Nia’s tears started flowing again when she heard that. “Casper, please don’t let anything happen to him…” all of her hope was focused on him.
“Miss Davidson, you need to calm down and think about who’s most likely to take boss away.”
Leon’s words instantly reminded Nia that, yes, she had been so flustered that she had forgotten to consider this. Jacob had just arrived at Athegate, and everyone respected Miles. Who would kidnap him for no reason?
Unless…
“It’s Spencer!” Nia looked down and answered without thinking too much.
“Why did he kidnap boss?” Leon couldn’t understand.
“You’ll have to ask him.” Nia’s heart sank. After a few more words with Leon, she got up, put on her coat, and rushed out into the cold air alone.
At half-past six, Spencer’s villa rang with a shrill doorbell and, indirectly, a frantic knocking.
“Who is it…” Ewan just got up to wash, and heard the doorbell after hurriedly changed his clothes, for fear of waking up Spencer.
“Who is it that knocks at the door so early in the morning?” Ewan had just reached the porch when Spencer’s voice rang behind him, and the doorbell continued to ring.
“Mr. Davies, I don’t know who is ringing the doorbell and knocking on the door. I’m going out to have a look,” Ewan said to Spencer.
“No,” Spencer said to Ewan, raising an eyebrow in a languid manner. “You go make me a cup of coffee.”
After he finished his words, he took a seat on the sofa in the living room and even crossed his legs.
“Mister?” Ewan wondered.
“Just listen to me.” Spencer smiled and seemed to have guessed who was outside the door.
Ewan didn’t understand, but he was ordered to make Spencer a cup of coffee. It took a long time to make a cup of hand-brewed coffee, and the doorbell and knocking outside the door had turned into a roar and a kick in the door over time.
“Spencer! I know you’re in the living room. Open the door!” Nia’s shrill scream pierced the silence of the morning.
Spencer still didn’t care. Of course he knew it was Nia outside. Casper was out all night. She was naturally worried.
Unfortunately, he was not in a hurry.
Outside the door, Nia ran out of patience in nearly 20 minutes. Leon, who was beside her, had already gone into a manic state. He kicked at the sturdy door frantically, venting his resentment.
“Leon,” Nia saw that Leon was getting crazier and stopped him immediately. “The lights are on. Spencer must be in the living room. Stop for a moment. We’ll only make him feel better.”
“I don’t care!” Leon said, kicking down the door several more times.
Nia felt helpless and she was more in a hurry than Leon, but Leon’s way of doing things made her a little scared.
After a few more minutes, the door finally opened, and Leon lifted his foot and nearly kicked Ewan, who had come to open it.
Ewan glanced at Leon who was gruff. His face was full of disdain, and he said coldly,
“Miss Davidson, it’s too early in the morning to knock on the door, but you don’t have to bring someone to break down the front door, do you?”
After saying that, he pretended to check whether there was any damage to the gate.
“Old man!” Before Nia could say anything, Leon angrily yelled, “Where’s Spencer?!”
“Leon…” Nia felt helpless.
“He’s having coffee in the living room,” said Ewan scornfully. “What do you want with him?”
Ewan was clearly giving Nia a hard time. Leon couldn’t stand to see such a long and slow process. He reached out to push Ewan away and led Nia inside. As he walked, he shouted loudly,
“Spencer, did you kidnap bo… Casper?!”
The strange voice surprised Spencer. He thought Nia had come alone, but he didn’t expect to see another one. Spencer looked at Leon’s face and saw that the man was dressed in raunchy clothes and had a strong gangster aura. He looked like someone close to Casper.
Also, by accompanying Nia to find him at such an important time, he must have a very high status around Casper.
Unobtrusively, Spencer took Leon’s face to heart.
“Ms. Davidson,” Spencer said casually, unhurriedly, “Had better have a good reason for waking me up so early in the morning.”
“Where’s Casper?” said Leon, who was about to have a seizure. Nia didn’t want to talk to Spencer anymore.
“Casper?” Spencer rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. Then, with a look of realization, he asked, “Is that the Casper who’s been following you around?”
“Stop fucking pretending!” Leon’s patience was wearing thin, and he barked at Spencer,
“Where have you kidnapped him?!”
Spencer shot Leon a cold look, turned to Nia, frowned, and said, “Nia, where did you find this barking dog?”
“Who are you calling a dog?!” Leon was on the verge of losing his temper when he heard Spencer’s sarcasm and rushed over to hit him, only to be stopped by Nia the next second.
“Leon, take it easy. He’s not gonna hand Casper over!”
