Wolves, Maces, And Blood novel Chapter 76

“Mr. Brain, please take a seat here.”

Owen Sanchez invited Mr. Brain to the couch. Then he asked, “How are you doing with your investigation? Any luck with Phyllis?”

“Not yet.”

Mr. Brain shook his head and said, “That little girl disappeared very suddenly, probably kidnapped by a very tough man. According to the police, security cameras at the school and nearby were destroyed, apparently, they were prepared.”

He sighed, “It’s also my fault. I didn’t think it through. I had Sean and the Moore family on my radar, but I didn’t give a damn about the four-year-old girl.”

“And the problem was the on little girl!”

After all, Phyllis was young, so who would have thought that someone would suddenly want to do something about her without knowing that she was Sean’s real daughter?

What could they do with her?

To threaten Sean?

Would it work?

Everything seemed strange and perverse to them.

Owen Sanchez frowned, thought for a moment, then said quietly, “Word came from the Capital City that the Mason family had someone come to Hilshire to capture Sean and bring him back to the Capital City. He was supposed to arrive this morning, but our men have been camped out at the airport all morning without any sign of him.”

“Then Phyllis disappeared!”

“Mr. Brain, do you think it was the Mason family from Capital City who took Phyllis?”

A pro!

Speaking of ability, the Mason family from the Capital City definitely had the ability to kidnap Phyllis from school without a word.

And the reason...

The feud between Sean and the Mason family of Capital City was mortal!

“It’s possible.”

Mr. Brain nodded, “Since we confirmed Sean Mason’s identity, we’ve lined up spies at the Mason Family in Capital City, the three families in the south of the town, and the Moore family. We’re monitoring every move they make. Only the mysterious figure sent by the Mason family and the little girl are out of our sight, but both disappeared at the same time, which makes people suspect the connection between them…”

After thinking about it, he shook his head again, “But…”

“But what?” asked Owen Sanchez.

Mr. Brain said, with a grave face, “According to our understanding of the Mason family in the Capital City, the Mason family has always been vigorous and domineering. They are above cheap means. If the purpose of their trip was simply to bring Sean Mason back to the Capital City, they probably wouldn’t start with the little girl.”

“Unless, of course, they got that little girl and they’re up to something!”

Although Mr. Brain was old, with half white hair and beard, he had sharp eyes and a quick mind.

Right on target!

“Maybe.”

Owen Sanchez nodded approvingly and said, “This investigation into Phyllis is over. If the Mason family is behind this, and if we continue to pursue it, we may find ourselves caught in the act.”

“Yes.”

Mr. Brain agreed.

The Mason family of the Capital City was too powerful. Once they annoyed the Mason family and were targeted by the Mason family, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“How are we doing with Sean Mason?”

Then Owen Sanchez said, “Sean Mason is a man of mystery and deep hiding. He was detained at the Hilshire Detention Center for five years, and no one knew what he had been through during those five years.”

“No one even knew if he had been in prison the whole time!”

“And now!”

Owen Sanchez grunted, “The Mason family from The Capital City has sent a team over, and if Sean doesn’t want to be caught without a fight, he will reveal some of his background and secrets. When the time comes, we’ll ride the wave. We’ll bet on whoever has a better chance of winning!”

To put it bluntly, it was to fall with the wind!

Be worldly wise and make themselves safe.

Don’t be rash in offering help when they were in trouble. We would only add to their glory days.

“That’s brilliant!”

Mr. Brain said with a smile, “I got word just before I got here that Sean had left the search for the little girl to Luke Young. Then he went to a Bentley 4S store, bought a Bentley Flying Spur, saw Dean and Gemma’s goddaughter off, and drove south of town alone. He met with Grayson Miller, son of Morton Miller, and Caleb Taylor, son of Michael Taylor, at 3 p.m. at the Tucci Bath Center…”

Sean’s every move was under Mr. Brain’s control!

“Oh?”

Owen Sanchez raised his eyebrows and laughed too, “Apparently, he didn’t know that the Mason family had sent someone to Hilshire, so he thought the three families in the south of the city were behind Phyllis’s kidnapping. That’s good.”

“Let them fight.”

And for those who weren’t there, they were even more shocked. They couldn’t figure out why their boss was pretending to be helpless and miserable in front of Sean.

After all, it was the south of the city.

It was the domain of three families!

Grayson Miller and Caleb Taylor were behind them. With Grayson Miller and Caleb Taylor there, why would they fear Sean alone?

The bottom line was, you were the boss, and we were your boys. If you acted like a wuss in front of Sean, what were we supposed to do?

To be wussier?

“Take it easy. Get up.”

Sean didn’t expect him to scare the gang leader like that. He rolled his eyes and said casually, “I'm only asking. As I said this morning, I wouldn’t blame you if you sold me out.”

“I wouldn’t dare!”

The gang leader stood up, a cold sweat oozing from his forehead, thinking, “Just asking? Fuck! Who knows if you were just saying that this morning?”

“Is it really okay for you to be so casual?”

You were gonna scare the hell out of me!

Sean then asked, “Did you know that these three families on the south side of town sent their men out this morning to arrest a four-year-old girl?”

“A little girl?”

The gang leader was stunned, “No, I didn’t. I…”

“Never mind.”

Sean waved his hand. As soon as he saw the expression on the leader’s face, he knew there was nothing useful to get out of him, so he said impatiently, “I’ll go in alone, and you’ll guard the door, and everyone else will be kept out.”

“Okay.”

The gang leader kept nodding his head in secret relief. He didn’t want to go in there with Sean, because he was gonna get caught in the act. But he warned kindly, “Grayson Miller and Caleb Taylor have a lot of bodyguards with them. You’re alone, so be careful.”

Sean ignored him and marched into the Tucci Bath Center.

Bodyguards?

No big deal!
