Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1154: Greed... what a troubling thing to live with.

[PRESENT TIME]

"Those two... they're gone. Our men checked, and it seemed those two somehow managed to take down the guys who took them. We're trying to locate them," the soldiers who reported to Glenn summarized the situation before he drew his head back.

Glenn, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the other man. Knowing Penny and Zoren were staring, he maintained his composure and nodded.

"I see." Glenn rocked his head and faced the couple with a smile. "It seems we have a problem."

Zoren quickly frowned, while Penny furrowed her brows. "What problem?" asked Zoren quietly.

"My men can't identify the people you were looking for," said Glenn coolly. "Like I said, there have been plenty of recruits recently, and from what they said, they couldn't find the people you're looking for."

"That's ridiculous!" Penny got up from her seat and huffed. "My brother and our friend were taken! This is the only place they could've gotten in!"

"I know, I know," Glenn sighed, raising his hands in surrender. "But they're not here."

"Not here?" Penny scoffed. "They should be here! You said they are here!"

Glenn sighed again and looked at Zoren. "I'm sorry."

"Then, our deal is no longer valid," Zoren replied without a second's hesitation, making Penny gasp at him in disbelief.

"Ren - Doreen!" Penny yelled. "It's not like you believe him, do you?"

Zoren lowered his eyes. "I'm sorry."

"No..." Tears welled in the corner of Penny's eyes as she shook her head. "This is..."
