Chapter 1809
When his surveillance team had reported that Moss had kidnapped Melon, Zayden had seen an opportunity.
He didnt know what grudges Moss held against Holden and Ariana and what had driven Moss to cto
Eleymond to kidnap a child, but he knew they shared a common enemy, and that was enough for him to propose
an alliance.
Besides, Moss scientific expertise was crucial to his plans.
Holdens ruthless tactics had decimated many of Zaydens legitimate businesses, forcing him into smuggling.
What he wanted Moss to do was to create drugs.
As Holden learned of Moss potential airport departure, he dispatched teams to scour every major airport in the
city.

He even extended his search to include train stations, casting a wideto catch Moss.
Holdens men finally caught sight of Moss at Eleymonds largest train station, but fate played a cruel trick-they
were mere seconds late, and an unknown group snatched Moss away before their eyes. The news hit Holden like
a punch to the gut as he arrived at the train station.
His icy gaze fell upon the bodyguards before him, who lowered their heads in silence.
What do we know about those people who took Moss away? Holdens voice cut through the tense silence.
The leader of the bodyguards quickly looked up and said, Foreign operatives, sir.
Were working to uncover their backers, but we need more time.
How much tdo you need? Holden asked with an expressionless face.
After a brief pause, the bodyguard asked for three days.
However, Holden just stared at him.
Although Holden stayed silent, the air around him grew thick with tension.
The bodyguards forehead began to bead with sweat.
He hurriedly said, Well have the answers by tomorrow! Holden didnt even blink.
No.
| need the information tonight, he said.
The bodyguards quickly left, the weight of Holdens command propelling them into action.
When Holden returned to Mercy Hospital, he found himself standing outside the VIP ward where Ariana was
resting.
He didnt push open the door right away as he usually would but lingered there for a while, lost in thought. The
promise he had made to bring their son back echoed in his mind.
He had failed to keep his promise.
What was worse, foreign forces now held Melon in their grasp.
Questions swirled through Holdens mind.
Who were those people? Were they Moss enemies? If his suspicions proved correct and those people were indeed
Moss enemies, Melons situation grew more dire by the second.
Frustration mounted as Holden reached for his phone, ready to demand updates from his people.
Just then, a sudden crash from within the ward drew his attention.
