Typically, Raymond would not get into trouble
Moreover, few dared to target him, as no one wanted to escalate conflicts unnecessarily.
Then again, what if Giorgio had lost his mind?
After all, he had always been a loose cannon…
Omari had a bad feeling about this and quickly called Sheena.
Finally, someone picked up his call.
"Mr. Eipstein, why are you calling at this hour? Did something happen?"
Omari's voice betrayed urgency.
Sheena sensed trouble and immediately woke up, discarding her face mask.
"Yvette hasn't contacted me. Why? What's going on?"
"My people saw Yvette drinking with Raymond at a bar. Shortly after, she disappeared."
Sheena recalled Raymond mentioning that if their collaboration with the Lawson Group succeeded, Giorgio would strike.
"Mr. Eipstein, don't worry. I'll send people to find Yvette. We'll have news soon."
They hung up, and Sheena sprang into action.
If Giorgio was behind this, it was not just retaliation against Omari. It was also a warning to her as well.
Nonetheless, the incident stemmed from the collaboration, causing Yvette to be dragged into danger.
Hence, Sheena would not stand idly.
The rain outside intensified, complicating the search.
Under the heavy rain, Raymond slowly regained consciousness.
His fingertips trembled as he slowly opened his eyes, noticing all the vehicles around him had vanished.
"Yve!"
If Giorgio were in front of him, he might have already killed him.
However, Giorgio merely picked his ear and gestured for Omari to quiet down.
"Omari, relax. I'm not going to harm your precious daughter. After all, we go way back. But if you insist on teaming up with those Froanians, I can't guarantee what I'll do next. You know I'm not one to back down from a threat. Just look at her sleeping so peacefully here. You have one day, Omari. Retract your collaboration with them or face the consequences."
The video call abruptly ended with a click.
Omari erupted in fury, smashing everything nearby.
Soon, Kate entered the room, her voice sad.
"Mr. Eipstein, we've checked. There's no way we can get close to Giorgio's place.."
That place was Giorgio's laboratory, boasting the world's most impenetrable defense systems, rumored to withstand even attacks from tanks.
Thanks to this fortress, Giorgio escaped unscathed during their first encounter.
"Giorgio, that bastard!"
