Even though Sawyer was calm, he was still amused at what happened. What were the odds that Amelia was able to persuade Owen and Patrick to let him go?

Just then, two guards dragged a familiar figure from around the corner.

Sawyer fixed his eyes on the man and immediately recognized that it was Brayden!

As soon as the guards let go of Brayden, Brayden fell to the ground with a thud.

Brayden ground his teeth then pushed himself up with his hands and looked at the man standing before him. After that, he cried out, "Mr. Quartley! Is that really you? You're still alive... I'm not dreaming, am I?"

As Brayden went on, he began to choke and cry.

One of the guards that dragged Brayden said expressionlessly, "Captain Owen ordered us to bring this guy to you. The both of you may leave now."

Sawyer noticed that one of Brayden's legs was injured, but Sawyer's expression remained unchanged when he replied, "Well, send my thanks to Captain Hopper then. Farewell."

It was a sight to see Sawyer lifting such a tall and strong man that was Brayden with such ease.

With Brayden sobbing right beside Sawyer's ear, Sawyer responded in an attempt to comfort him, "Yes, I'm still alive." After that, Brayden fell silent.

Just like that, the both of them slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.

At the entrance of the club, Brayden stopped his tears and exclaimed with utmost delight, "Mr. Quartley! It's good to know that you're alive and well..."

Sawyer returned him an indifferent look and said, "I'm sorry that you've suffered." "Not at all! It's nothing!"

At this, Brayden immediately climbed down from Sawyer's back and stood on his legs. He then apologized to Sawyer, "I'm sorry for my incompetence. Not only did I fail to rescue you, but I've also fallen into Owen and the others' hands. I've been a disgrace!"

"Enough, all is well as long as you're fine. Don't blame yourself for anything." After a pause, Owen gazed up at the sky and said in a low voice, "What we should think about now is how are we going to return to Northville."

"That's easy. I'll call my men to pick us up right away!" As soon as Brayden finished, he immediately came to realise something. "D*mn it! They have my phone and wallet! It looks like I have to borrow a phone from a passerby!"

However, Sawyer turned down his idea.
