Chapter 44 - 42 : Kidnapping-2
Rumbles of the skies shakes the ground of the silent night. Every single servant and people in Maple’s couch Household face look even darker than the night sky. Eyes on the floor, no one dared to look at the Old Master’s face. Stifling pressure atmosphere exuded from the Old Master grew even more menacing.
His hand tremble tremendously upon the wooden cane. The muscles on his face bulge as he heard the last sentence of the report.
Old Master, " T-This is..." His hand covers his forehead and staggered a few steps back. Seeing this, Kei swiftly grabs his hand and help him to steady his body to the chair next to him.
The old man brushes his hand away harshly as he sits and points his fingers to the few other bodyguards that kneel in front of him with an ashen face.
Old Master raises his voice furiously, " HOW CAN YOU NOT PROTECT HER!! "
They kneel quietly without any answer, one of them who seems to be their leader lowers his body even deeper and dogeza to the floor.
" M-My apologies...master...W-we, the young lady...she...they kidnapped her in front of the school, w-we..." The man couldn’t continue his explanation and could only plead for his life in fear. " Please forgive us!! "
The Old Master couldn’t bear his anger and disappointment anymore, now that Li Lian has been kidnapped by them, he couldn’t bring her back even if he cut all the fingers on their hands. He could only rub his aching heart in distraught.
Looking at the Old Master’s complexion growing even darker, Kei waved his hand and orders his subordinates to retire the people kneeling in front of the Old Master.
Kei, " Master, we’ve called the people around the city to continue the search for clues of young lady’s whereabouts and..." he look at the Old Master’s expression and hesitantly stop his words.
