Chapter 671

"Where the heck could Mr. Doonan be?

I just can't buy that he fell into the ocean near the old brickworks and died.

Could someone have rescued him, or... could he be under someone's control? I mean, how does a full-grown man just vanish into thin air?"

Ludwik clenched his fists, his eyes heavy with exhaustion. "I don't want to believe he's gone either, but his guys, wiped out by Jarvis and his cronies. Maybe he did fall into the sea.

If Parker was saved, if someone's got him, given his skills, it'd have to be someone with even more power.

Otherwise, he would've reached out to us by now."

Ashton's gaze darkened further. "The more you talk, the more complicated it gets.

Could Parker's disappearance still be tied to Jarvis somehow?"

"And what about those guys who jumped you in jail, Ludwik? What do you think?"

"Nolan, didn't we just cover that? It was..."

"Probably Bryce." Ludwik suddenly broke in, a fierce chill flashing in his eyes, his brows furrowed deeply. "I've given it a lot of thought. If Jarvis wanted me gone, he'd have had me killed in my cell. Our feud with him is both personal and business. He wouldn't bother trying to strip me of my dignity.

The only one who'd stoop to that level is Bryce."

Ashton raised an eyebrow. So, he figured it out on his own.

"As long as you're aware, that's what matters," Ashton said coldly. "Bryce, that guy, turns out to be a dark horse, huh? Be careful with him from now on."

Ludwik was taken aback by Bryce's move against him.

He never expected Bryce to play dirty, let alone have the reach to manipulate the police!

In just a month, Bryce's status skyrocketed, his wealth doubled, making him the talk of Emperor City.
