Chapter 426 Two Different Worlds Apart (Part Two) (1/2)
He kept thinking over and over, 'Should I let you go?' Then a stubborn part of him would argue, 'How can I just let you go like that?'
Someone called out his name. Brian didn't notice Tony standing behind him. His driver stood silently in a corner, observing his boss. Brian had returned to A City after his body recovered from extreme weight loss and fatigue. Tony noted how Brian seemed even more apathetic than before. After receiving a text message, he quietly walked towards Brian and reported, ”Miss Xia still has not been found.”
Brian opened his eyes slowly and stared outside. His voice was colder than the temperature outside. ”How could it be? So without XK Intelligence Agency, I can't do something as simple as finding a missing person?!” he barked.
His outrage stunned Tony. With eyes slightly drooping, he reported, ”Their efforts were thwarted in the process of searching for Miss Xia. There is also information from Mr. Eric Long that shadows have been dispatched to look for her. But they haven't found her either!”
Who, in this world, would be able to prevent him from finding a person, who knew about shadows like the back of his hand?
The answer was obvious. Only Richie Long, former leader of the Shadow Organization and current head of XK Intelligence Agency was the one person capable of doing all that.
The silence in the room was so oppressive that it made breathing difficult. Tony dared not move. It was apparent that Mr. Long's purpose was to cut all ties between Brian, Eric, and Molly. And Tony supported Mr. Long's efforts.
However, seeing Brian now, his heart grew heavy. From his observation, Tony saw that while Brian looked the same as before, he was a different man now.
”Go on looking for her,” he ordered Tony. Then the driver heard Brian mumbling to himself, ”We will meet again someday, won't we?”
It bothered Tony to hear Brian still so obsessed with Molly. He did not know why, but instinctively, he did not want to see that day come.
