Pingan had been missing for three days, and Kerry was determined to find his son back, whatever the cost may be. The worst case scenario is to have all his secrets revealed, and if that actually happens, he will leave Sky City and find somewhere else to live. He just wants to be with his family. That’s all.
All the roads were blocked, but they still couldn’t make sure that Pingan is one hundred percent safe. So Kerry and Tianye couldn’t waste any more time and they must hurry.
The sun arose and the temperature soared. Kerry went to a small apartment in the center of the city, and he knocked the door.
“Sir, you are here.” Nighthawk said respectfully.
“Where is Xuan Chu?”
“He is in this room.” Nighthawk then opened the door of a small room, and Kerry walked in. He found Xuan was reading a book leisurely.
Xuan put the book aside when Kerry walked in, and he looked at Kerry coldly, who was once his partner.
“Xuan, we meet again.” Kerry looked at him.
Xuan gave a sarcastic laugh. He said: “Yeah. It is very surprising to see you again.”
Kerry then looked around the room. It is a small room, but there was everything Xuan may need for his daily life.
“Xuan, I’m here to ask you to do me a favor. Of course, You can lay your conditions.” Kerry said.
Xuan laughed coldly. “I am only your prisoner. I don’t deserve to lay any condition.”
“Frankly speaking, you and I owe each other nothing. That’s why I am treating you so well. So I don’t understand why are you involved in this matter again? What can you gain from this?” Kerry said. He wished Xuan could listen to him.
Xuan said: “Stop talking. I have no idea where he is. Or I won’t go to F province to look for him.”
Kerry stared at him unblinkingly, as if he was trying to see whether he was lying or not.
“Don’t look at me like that. I really don’t know where he is.”
“But you know what does he look like.”
Xuan froze for a moment. What Kerry said was true. Only a few people know what does Gavin look like, and he is one of these people. He wishes he had never seen that face. In that way, he wouldn’t be so attached to that person.
“So, do you want to cooperate with me?” Kerry said.
After a few minutes’ silence, Xuan finally said: “What do you want me to do?”
“Easy. If you help me to find that guy, I will set you free.”
Xuan was surprised. He looked at him and said: “Are you sure?”
Xuan closed his eyes tightly. He thought Kerry was serious and he was truly frightened.
Nighthawk, who was standing at the door, almost burst into laughter after hearing what Kerry said. So he walked away immediately.
“Kerry, please calm down. We can talk.”
“That is why I am here.” Kerry said. His strategy worked. Xuan is also a chicken. Kerry thought.
The things in the room soon flew back to their original position. Kerry sat in a chair, crossed his arms in front of his chest and said: “So, you will help me to find that bastard.”
Xuan sighed with huge relief. He grabbed a glass of water and drank it in a gulp. He then recovered himself and said: “I can help you. But you must keep your promise. When we find him, you must let me leave Sky City.”
“I agree.” Kerry said. He just wanted to get rid of Gavin, and setting Xuan free was really not a big deal.
Kerry than said: “Xuan, don’t you dare to escape. If you escape, your family and your business are going to pay the price. When you want to run away, think about what will happen to your parents, your sister, and your workers!”
“Don’t worry. I am a man of my word.” Xuan said.
Kerry stood up. “Let’s go!” He then left the room.
Xuan found his shirt was drenched when Kerry left the room. Turned out, he just broke out in a cold sweat.
