After they heard from the neighboring merchants, they became more anxious.
It turned out that the witch clinic was suddenly closed since the morning before. At first, the patients in line thought that there was an emergency and hence, they delayed the operation hours.
It was only later when the clinic disciples came to work and found out that the clinic was closed that everyone finally noticed that something was wrong.
The disciples tried contacting Nergui but they just couldn't reach him. The rest also tried some other ways, but nobody was able to contact the witch clinic staff members.
In the end, everyone had no choice but to leave.
The witch clinic had been closed for two days now, without any apparent reason. Up until that moment, there weren't any updates on the witch clinic.
Upon hearing this, Fade's expression became more grim.
After that, the three of them showed pictures of Caesar and Jason to the nearby merchants, only to find out that both of them had indeed dropped by the clinic two days ago.
At that time, there seemed to be a dispute in the clinic and both parties had parted on bad terms in the end.
Now, Fade was certain that something bad had definitely happened to Jason and Caesar. Even worse, it might be related to the witch clinic.
When they went back to the car, he immediately called Jaguar and asked for his help to check on the witch clinic as well as the disappearance of the duo.
After Jaguar's team looked into different surveillance videos, he finally got back to Fade at midnight.
According to the surveillance videos, Liborio and Nergui seemed to have left Roann City abruptly at night two days ago. There seemed to be two more people with them, and they looked like Caesar and Jason.
It was almost certain that Liborio and Nergui had taken the duo with them.
As much as Fade had expected this, he could not help but be distressed.
He didn't even bother to get some rest. He made his move that evening immediately to trace their tracks.
At first, Tom and Scott wanted to follow him as well, but they knew that they might slow him down, so they decided to stay behind in the hotel in the end.
"Brother Fade, you have to bring Caesar and Mr. Tu home safely!" Scott pleaded.
"Don't worry, I will." Fade nodded with a serious expression on his face.
Tom also added, "Brother Fade, you have to be careful too."
"I will be fine." Fade nodded solemnly then turned to leave.
He drove overnight without stopping, following the directions provided by Jaguar.
At the same time, a ray of dim light shone in a shabby old house in a small village about two hundred kilometres from Roann City at dawn.
Inside the house, Liborio and Nergui were sitting on the old bed.
Liborio tidied his messy clothes and looked at his son, Nergui, before he said, "Pack your things. We need to leave and continue moving right away."
Upon hearing this, Nergui couldn't help but turn to the side and look at the corner of the house, where both Caesar and Jason were tied with ropes.
"You have a lot of comments. Are you afraid?" Liborio glared at his son.
Nergui's face changed and he immediately explained, "Dad, I just don't understand why you have to take revenge in such a radical way. Even if we really manage to avenge Sabian in the end, we will lead ourselves to a dead end!"
"Dad, do you think Sabian would have wanted this?"
"I don't know what your brother thought. I only know that he had died in a miserable way. He must want us to avenge him." Liborio's eyes were scarlet red.
Looking at his father who seemed to have gone crazy, Nergui was a little anxious. "Dad, but... But you also have to consider the consequences! Even if you're not afraid of death, I am!"
"Slap!"
With a crisp sound, Liborio slapped Nergui in the face and his scarlet eyes glared at him. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Shut up!"
Nergui covered his red swollen cheek and stared at him wide-eyed. He gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, I have always known that Sabian was your favorite child. You said that he was much more talented than me. I know that you despise me and don't think I'm fit to inherit the witch clinic."
"But I'm your son too!"
"Are you willing to let me die just for the sake of your dead son's revenge?"
"Answer me. If so, I won't say a word. I'll do whatever you want me to do."
Nergui's eyes were bloodshot. He stared firmly at Liborio as tears swirled in his eyes.
