"Karina!"
Nicole and Samuel paused at the same time, and then quickly ran outside.
Karina had disappeared from their sight.
All they could see was a van speeding forward.
Nicole tried to chase after it, but was stopped by Samuel.
"If someone wants to use Karina to ask us to do something, we don't need to chase after them. They
will call us."
Nicole looked at Samuel and gestured, "What if it's not what we thought? What if it's just a human
trafficker?"
"Do you think it's okay if I ask Finn's people to look into it?"
Samuel knew that Nicole and Finn had problems, but Finn was the only person he could count on here.
Nicole was stunned for a moment, and a trace of struggle flashed through her eyes. However, when
she remembered Karina's safety, she still nodded.
Seeing Nicole agree, Samuel immediately called Finn and told him the license plate number.
Nicole and Samuel returned to the hotel.
Their room was in a mess, as if a thief had just broken into it.
Nicole knew that they didn't have anything particularly valuable to steal. It seemed that it was just a
warning or an outburst of anger from Soseph.
Her eyes were full of anger.
It seemed that Soseph would never stop harassing her.
Samuel also got a dark look and thought it was time to teach Soseph a lesson.
Samuel called Finn right in front of Nicole.
"Find out where Soseph lives by any means, cause her a car accident and put her to bed for a while."
Nicole frowned, but she didn't stop him.
After Samuel hung up the phone, Nicole's phone rang.
She looked at the unknown number on her phone, narrowed her eyes and put it on speaker.
"Mrs. Green, I know you can't speak, so just listen to me, okay? You must be looking for Karina, right?
Let me introduce myself first. I am the chief of Paddy Village, and Karina is a child of our village. I have
indeed neglected this child for many years, and now that I know she does want to come back, we have
brought her back. After all, it is our duty to take care of the children of our village. Thank you for your
hospitality."
Nicole and Samuel were stunned, as if they hadn't expected that those who took Karina were from her
village. Nicole looked annoyed. She tried to gesture, but stopped in frustration when she realized that
the person on the other end of the phone couldn't see her.
Samuel immediately picked up the phone and asked, "You're the head of the village, aren't you? If you
were going to pick Karina up, why didn't you just call on us openly, but take her away in such a sneaky
way? Don't you think it was improper?"
"Mr. Green, please don't get me wrong. I knew you were busy, so I didn't want to bother you. Besides,
Karina is from our village, and I heard she stole something when she was here. We have to find out
about this. No matter what, we can't let her bring shame on our village, right?"
The village chief sounded arrogant.
Nicole got angry at once, but was soothed by Samuel's gaze.
"It sounds like you're not taking Karina back to live a better life, but rather threatening us with her, isn't
it?"
Samuel sneered, a trace of anger appearing between his eyebrows.
The village chief chuckled and said, "Mr. Green, you know what we want. Why do you have to ask?"
"Who is behind you? If you tell me who your mastermind is, I'll probably let you off the hook. By the
way, I would like to remind you that threats never work with me."
The village chief was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't expected Samuel to say that.
Samuel sneered and said, "To put it bluntly, Karina is an orphan that my wife took in with good
intentions. She is not our family, so we don't care as much about what happens to her as you think.
Isn't it a bit too stupid for you to use her to threaten us? Didn't the guy behind you tell you who I am? In
Seapolis, I don't care about anyone except my family, let alone an orphan!"
As he spoke, Samuel's fingers quickly tapped on the laptop beside him.
Soon, a map appeared on the screen, with a small red dot flashing in one area.
Nicole instantly understood.
Samuel was using his computer technology to stall them, trying to track their location through the
communication device.
The next moment Nicole took a close look at the address, then she stared at Samuel as if asking for his
permission.
Samuel knew what she was thinking. Although he was a little worried about her, in that case, he had no
reason to stop her.
"Go ahead. Stay alert and call me if you need help,"
Samuel whispered. Only Nicole could hear him.
Nicole nodded, changed her clothes, and left the room at once.
The village chief was still pondering over Samuel's words and hesitating, when Samuel said coldly,
"Since Karina is from your village, she is all yours. From now on, her life and death have nothing to do
with us. Goodbye. Don't call me again. Otherwise, I'll call the police and say that you guys are
harassing me. Believe me, I have a thousand ways to make you suffer."
Then Samuel hung up the phone.
He immediately changed his clothes and left the hotel.
He couldn't stop Nicole from rescuing Karina, so he could only guarantee their safety.
When Finn called, Samuel and Nicole were already on their way.
"Mr. Green, they are in Paddy Village."
"I see. Have your men stand by at the entrance of the village. Investigate the village chief's background
and see if he has done anything illegal. I want to see him arrested tomorrow. It would be best if we
could put him in prison for a few years."
Of course, the village chief had to suffer for threatening him and his woman.
A village chief who kidnapped a child at the behest of someone deserved such a punishment.
Finn nodded and asked hesitantly, "Is Ma'am behind all this?"
Of course, Samuel knew what Finn meant.
He paused for a moment and said indifferently, "No, it was my idea, but she didn't object. Finn, you
know, Nicole won't tolerate any betrayal. This time, she had no choice in order to rescue Karina. Don't
get your hopes up."
It wasn't that Samuel meant to rain on Finn's parade, but he knew Nicole very well.
Nicole didn't care how the people she didn't care about treated her, but she never forgave those who
she did care about once they betrayed her.
Finn went silent.
Instead of comforting him, Samuel hung up the phone.
Samuel thought he was generous enough to reveal this information to his rival.
Nicole soon arrived at Paddy Village.
It was an ancient mountain village with water flowing down through the doorways of many people.
It was indeed a wonderful place with flowers and water.
If Nicole wasn't in a hurry to rescue Karina, she would like to stay here for a while, but she wasn't in the
mood to enjoy the view right now.
She checked her surroundings and found that there was a mahjong table at the entrance of the village.
Although the four men at the table were playing mahjong, they looked in the direction of the entrance
from time to time, as if they were on guard.
Nicole frowned.
She had no problem getting the four men down, but she didn't know if there were any more guards.
Nicole sneaked behind the wall next to them and eavesdropped on their conversation.
"Carl, do you think they'll come to Karina's rescue? The village chief called them just now, and it
seemed that they didn't care about her at all!"
Carl held a cigarette in his mouth and touched a piece of mahjong in his hand. "Don't worry, Soseph
said they were hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, especially Mrs. Green. She might be on her way here
now. Have you got everything I've asked for?"
"Yeah, everything is ready, but Carl, what if something goes wrong?"
"Don't worry. Soseph has a strong background. You've been getting a lot of benefit from her all this
time, haven't you? No matter how capable that couple is, they have to throw up their hands and
surrender. Don't forget that our race is self-governing. Even if they try to screw us through the police,
we'll have it all settled while they're wasting time communicating."
Carl sounded arrogant.
The other three laughed. It seemed that they were accustomed to this kind of situation.
Nicole, who was hiding near them, frowned.
They were already prepared. If she confronted them single-handedly, not only would she not rescue
Karina, but she was likely to get caught.
Once she became their hostage, Samuel would risk the Greens for her.
Thinking of this, a trace of struggle flashed through Nicole's eyes.
She was unfamiliar with this place, and obviously, no one but Finn could help her.
However, she didn't want Finn's help.
After thinking for a while and considering all the factors, Nicole made her decision.
She sneaked out and tried to text Finn, but found that Samuel had her phone.
What should she do?
Did she have to rescue Karina single-handedly?
Nicole chose not to take such a big risk. She told herself to calm down and drove to a nearby shop to
buy a mobile phone. Then, she logged in her WeChat and searched for Finn's ID.
She had already blocked his ID, so she had no choice but to add it again.
And Finn accepted her friend request at once.
Finn tried his best to calm down, sending a WeChat message to Nicole with his trembling hands.
"Ma'am, what can I do for you?"
"Give me ten people. I need them. Can you get to Paddy Village in ten minutes?"
Nicole had no time to waste, so she directly got to the point.
At this moment, even if Nicole wanted all the members of Night Elf Empire, Finn wouldn't say no.
He replied at once, "Alright, within ten minutes, ten top members of my team will meet you."
After reading it, Nicole threw her phone away and waited for Finn's men to come. During this time, she
was contemplating a rescue plan.
Finn stared at his phone and waited for Nicole to reply or give him an order. However, there was no
response. After waiting for a long time without any news, his bright eyes gradually dimmed.
