Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 944

Tarquin harbored his doubts, pausing for a moment before saying,

"Let's dig up everything on Grandpa's background, and track down everyone connected to him. We'll check them one by one."

Elliot and Elijah nodded in unison, "Right!"

The trio continued to scour through the documents, their expressions growing increasingly grim.

This mysterious figure was the epitome of evil incarnate!

Dealing in drugs, smuggling weapons, trafficking human organs, engaging in illicit trades... he was a devil who had done it all!

It was chilling to the bone and infuriating!

Moreover, his network was astoundingly powerful!

He was entangled with numerous dangerous entities abroad and had connections with many high-ranking officials domestically.

If Gideon was scum, then compared to this mysterious figure, he was nothing!

He couldn't hold a candle to the mysterious man's ruthlessness or his overwhelming power!

Elliot, with a furrowed brow, declared,

"This is a cancer on humanity, he must be eliminated. We can't let him continue his vile deeds!"

Every day he remains free is another day humanity suffers!

Elijah nodded, puzzled and curious at the same time,

"Who is he really? How can he possibly be in cahoots with so many foreign powers? And how on earth did Grandpa end up involved with such a wicked person?"

These foreign powers were not only evil but cunning. Someone who could catch their eye was no ordinary individual.

Even more astonishing was how this mysterious person managed to navigate between several hostile entities with ease.

What abilities did he possess to be so indulged by these evil forces?!

And, birds of a feather flock together - clearly, Kendrick and this mysterious figure were not of the same ilk!

By the next morning, word had spread among the elite circles.

Everyone was unclear about the specifics but there was much private speculation.

The news eventually reached Gideon's ears.

One of Gideon's confidants reported,

"Sir, reliable sources say that this was all Tarquin's doing. He left the Number One Mansion after 10 PM last night and didn't return until the deed was done."

Gideon mused, "It seems the person who attempted to harm Elijah and kidnap Baby is no small fry."

"Yes, sir. Since we didn't catch him yesterday, it seems Tarquin, out of anger, decided to cripple his operations."

The confidant expressed concern, "This also shows that Tarquin's power is growing stronger. To cause such a stir on his own is quite frightening."

Gideon scoffed,

"No matter how powerful, as long as I have Elizabeth's ashes, he wouldn't dare push me into a corner! At most, he'll just mess with my assets a bit, make me feel the pinch."
