Chapter 337 - 290 : Claudia 1 (1/2)

Author note : School is over, back to daily updates.

***********

It has been exactly since Claudia's son and the doctor were captured and imprisoned inside this desolate room. Moreover, the effect of their hunger multiplied due to the pills which Arthur forcefully made them swallow.

The old man's skin started turning darker and the two of them began staring at the other with malice and hostility. Were it not for the chains holding them down, they would have leaped at each other trying to fill their stomach.

While the old man's skin changed, the young man's teeth lengthened and resembled a beast's. No matter how much force they exerted, they couldn't shake off the thick chains binding them down.

It was also today that coincidentally, Claudia managed to locate her son but the matter wasn't so simple. Some anonymous person used a small-scale company to post countless information about Claudia's companies. This was posted on many public forums and was even shared by multiple international media companies which led to a disaster befalling on Claudia.

All the illegal crimes she did, ranging from blackmail to even human trafficking was made public and with conclusive evidence too. Were it not for Claudia's high status and her being a famous Hero, she would have been apprehended by the police already.

She was torn between going to save her son or hastily doing a conference to shake off some of the crimes she had been accused off and ease up the enraged public.

The problem was that whoever did this was extremely ruthless as he had evidence for every word he said which made it almost impossible for Claudia to recover. The only thing she could do at this time is to, little by little, find the culprit behind this and evade being forced to go to court as this would definitely end up bad for her since she can't deny the definite proof posted on forums such as videos, pictures, and even voice recordings!

She was sure that someone must have betrayed her but she didn't have time to find who it was. After careful consideration, Claudia actually something out of Arthur's expectations.

As he laid on the sofa with Lucy leaning on his shoulder, the couple watched the TV and stared at the Vice-CEO who replaced Claudia.

Lucy's informants told her that Claudia was rushing to where her son is but it'll still take her a few hours as he was imprisoned in the middle of nowhere.

”So it turns out she cares more about family than fame... hahahaha”

Arthur coldly laughed as he learned of this matter.

”Wouldn't that make it even more satisfying?”

Lucy seductively whispered those words in his ears as she softly smiled

”Indeed it would!”

Arthur didn't shy away and planted a kiss on his wife's lips. Currently, they were alone in this house as Randuin and Taliya went out with Saly and Delia was still in closed-door cultivation.

”Are you sure it's the right place?”

As she stared at the grand villa situated at a desolate peak in a mountain range near China's border. Claudia frowned and warily looked at the villa which was too conspicuous.

She brought with her the two most expensive mercenaries. Both had a Lv higher than 150 and were experts in their fields. Along with them were three cloaked women who were hiding in the shadows, unable to be seen or sensed even by the mercenaries.

Claudia herself was wearing strong defensive and offensive items which could obliterate anyone in her path, or so she thought.
