Right as he was about to ignore the message, he noticed Hector’s name in it and decided to view it out of curiosity.

The content of the message was brief, but it was extremely useful to him at the time.

Anonymous: Hector may be stubborn, but he cares deeply about his loved ones. Threatening him with them will yield amazing results.

Casper frowned in confusion when he saw the address and contact number for Hector’s family attached at the end of the message.

Who on earth is this guy? How did he know about the grudge between us? How did he even know me? He’s managed to get his hands on information that even Stallion couldn’t, so why is he helping me? What does he stand to gain from this?

Casper shook his head to clear it of all the questions as finding out how he could save Remy was his top priority at that time.

Hearing that gave Hector a bad feeling in his gut, and he looked up at him anxiously.

“You may be able to withstand my torture, but what about your wife and your daughter? Do you think they’ll be able to handle it? This is your last chance, Mr. Corneo. What happened to my friend Remy?”

Hector didn’t buy into his threat at first as he had already anticipated that and made arrangements to keep them hidden in a safe place.
