Chapter 499 I Was Not Late

"Caesare, why did you have me retrieve this?"

Zephyr didn't respond; instead, he asked, "Can you help me locate Pearl Road Flour Mill?"

"Okay, but you haven't answered my question."

"I need to save someone."

Without wasting any more words, Christine quickly located Pearl Road Flour Mill. With a gasp, she warned, "Caesare, the satellite imagery shows that this flour mill is in a state of disrepair. It seems to have been abandoned. Be careful." "Okay."

"You..."

Christine wanted to say more, but all she heard was the mechanical beep from the phone receiver.

Darn it!

Zephyr pressed down on the accelerator, speeding up as he swiftly headed toward the flour mill.

When he reached the outskirts of the city, the roads widened and the traffic lessened. He sped through three red lights in succession, driving so fast that it seemed as though sparks were flying from the wheels of his car. Finally, after a swift ten-minute drive, he arrived at the flour mill.

As Christine had mentioned, the flour mill was now abandoned. The grand entrance was wide open, tainted with rust. Inside, the factory walls were cracked, parts of the ceiling had collapsed, and the ground was a chaotic mess. It was covered with fallen branches, leaves, half bricks, and broken chunks of cement.

A van was parked in front of the factory, its license plate matching exactly with the one captured on surveillance.

They're really here!

Zephyr drove straight into the flour mill. He pulled out a steel pipe from the trunk of his car and strode confidently toward the factory's main entrance.

The factory's main entrance had long since disappeared, the interior easily visible from a distance. A man, his arm adorned with a floral tattoo, was seen dominating a woman.

The woman was fiercely struggling.

She was still wearing the same light green chiffon blouse he had seen just an hour earlier.

Zephyr clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot. The beast within him roared wildly, devoid of any rationality. He carelessly tossed aside his glasses, grabbed the steel pipe, and stormed in.

The moment he stepped in, a figure suddenly lunged from the side, swinging an iron rod at him.

Immediately, Zephyr stepped forward, pulling Sophia into a tight embrace as if he was afraid she would vanish. He wanted to meld her into him, to become one with her. He closed his eyes, the taut string in his heart finally relaxing. With a sigh of relief, he said, "Thank goodness...
