They arrived at the apartment shortly after.

To their utter surprise, a familiar figure was already waiting there.

“Isn’t that Mr. Edmund?” the man shrieked in excitement. He got out of the car and ran toward Edmund swiftly.

Sabrina spotted him behind the wheel of her bike and hit the brakes. At once, the engine stopped roaring.

The man was indeed Edmund in the flesh.

His subordinate immediately supported him. “We’re here to save you, Mr. Edmund. You’ve been missing for two days. Mr. Cooper is back in Jadeborough and couldn’t make it here. I was so worried!”

“So you got the beggars to save me?”

Edmund swept his gaze over the bunch of beggars behind the man.
