No one in the spa retreat could stop Julian.
In a few breaths’ time, Julian had already raced to the second floor where the scream had sounded.
Ignoring the surprise and anger on the faces of the female customers and employees upon seeing him, Julian barged through the half-closed door to the office.
When Julian opened the door and saw an unfamiliar woman on the floor, he immediately raced toward the open window.
Looking down from the window, Julian saw a woman getting into a car. She was holding Wendy in her arms.
Aaron, who was sitting in the passenger seat, met Julian’s eyes through the window.
Smiling, Aaron made a finger gun and directed it at Julian before pretending to shoot it.
He was being deliberately provocative.
The next second, the car’s engine started and it raced out of the alleyway.
Julian’s aura was like a wave crashing over the rocks.
Grabbing hold of the window ledge, he flipped out of the second-floor window. Julian did not seem to care that the window was seven meters above the ground as he landed with a thump.
However, the car had already rushed out of the alley and seemed to be escaping.
Julian was just about to run after them when two shrewd men surrounded him. Without saying a word, they started attacking Julian.
Julian was confident that he could defeat these two, but it would take up some of his precious time.
With his rage fueling him, Julian roared like an angered dragon and took out all his anger on the two men.
These two men had been placed there to delay Julian, acting as human shields.
Although they had mentally prepared themselves for this, the two still felt as if they were a boat stranded amid turbulent waves. They were about to break into countless pieces as they faced Julian’s rapid attacks.
The two soon fell to the ground with blood dripping from their mouths as they stared at Julian with fear in their eyes.
They knew he was powerful, but they had not expected him to be this powerful.
…
At Schuler Manor in the province.
Julian landed on his knees with a thump.
When he knelt, the impact was so great he managed to create two craters in the ground. Cracks that looked like dense spider webs spread out from his knees.
The sharp stones grazed Julian’s skin, and blood seeped through his pants before dyeing them red.
However, Julian did not seem to feel it.
He only lowered his head to Jasper and curled his hands into fists as he said in a quivering voice, “Jasper, I’m so sorry!”
Jasper did not have any expression on his face as he stared at Julian. He did not say anything.
Julian did not come up with any excuses for himself and only said, “Jasper, I know that not even my life can be used in exchange for Ms. Schuler’s safety. I’ll head out and look for her right now. I would much rather die outside if I can’t find her! I’ll come back and repent when I find Ms. Schuler!”
Then, Julian got up and was just about to head out.
“Stop.”
Jasper’s calm voice rang out.
“You’re only one person. There are millions of people in the province. How much area could you cover alone? Stand here!”
Jasper’s voice rose in volume.
“I didn’t say I wouldn’t blame you, but nothing will change even if you die now. What you should do now is remediate this with me!”
Jasper suppressed his rage and annoyance. His eyes were frosty as he took a deep breath and said, “Investigate! Investigate it for me! Look up all the license plates in the province, and more importantly, look up the hotel the Hull and Gardner family were staying in! I want a report within half an hour!”
