Finally, as Phoenix got tired, she went back to her room and fell asleep.
Nicole had someone put the broken leg in the cold storage in the basement.
For now, there was nothing they could do. After going through such a long journey, all of them felt
somewhat tired, so Samuel asked them to get some rest.
Lucas took a single room. He turned on his computer and kept typing as if he was searching for
something. A few minutes later, after entering a long series of codes, he found nothing and had to take
his eyes off the computer with frustration.
There were no traces of Davon anywhere. Was he gone?
Lucas felt pity when he thought of Mommy pretending to be tough and calm.
Suddenly his phone rang.
Lucas lowered his head and saw that someone wanted to friend him on WeChat, and that person was
Yasmeen.
He slightly frowned and rejected directly.
Unexpectedly, Yasmeen kept sending the friend requests. To ignore it, Lucas threw the phone aside.
With no response from Lucas, Yasmeen was so angry that she asked Jasmine to hack into Lucas'
computer right away.
Such behavior irritated Lucas.
"Yasmeen, stay away from me! I didn't friend you because I don't want to! Mind your own business.
OK? Where's your brain? The dog ate it?"
"You ate it."
Yasmeen was quite happy to receive the video call from Lucas at first. However, before her smile
faded, Lucas' severe scolding provoked her into anger.
"I just sent a friend request! What's wrong with you? I don't bite."
"I hate you, understand? I don't like you at all! So please stay away from me!"
Lucas finished and hung up the phone directly.
This was the first time he was so rude to a girl.
But in his eyes, Yasmeen was not a girl.
After all, girls would not take off his pants the first time they met.
Lucas could remember this for the rest of his life.
Looking at the phone being hung up, Yasmeen somehow wanted to cry.
Stupid Lucas! He said that he hated her!
How was it possible for her to be hated? She was such a cute girl!
She had no idea that Lucas was upset because of Davon's disappearance. She was just a child, and a
child's world was very simple. She liked Lucas, so she wanted to play with him. What was wrong with
that?
Lucas quickly rebuilt the computer's firewall. He didn't give up on investigating Laurence's
whereabouts, even though he still found nothing.
"This is weird," Lucas thought.
No matter who it was, there should be traces as long as he existed, not to mention that Samuel had
implanted an internal chip on Laurence. Even if the tracker was lost, the internal chip would still be able
to locate him. But now, there was no trace of the chip at all.
Thinking of this, Lucas hurried to Samuel's room.
"Samuel!"
"Be quiet!"
Samuel silenced him immediately.
Only then did Lucas realize that Nicole was asleep, though she wasn't sleeping soundly.
"Come with me."
Samuel led him to the courtyard.
"What did you find?"
He knew that his son was more than skilled, and that was why he could take care of his wife with heart
and soul. Now that he saw Lucas' facial expression, he asked.
Lucas replied at once, "I remember you said that you had implanted a chip on Laurence?"
"Yes, under the subcutaneous tissue. Ordinary people won't be able to discover it."
Samuel answered instantly.
Lucas frowned and said, "I tried to track on Davon, but found nothing. So, I traced Uncle Laurence. The
result is the same. The chip seems not working suddenly. Samuel, this is weird."
Samuel thought of something all of a sudden.
"Someone blocked him from connecting the outside world."
"I guess so, but who will it be? Will it be the one behind the scenes? He's in the Dark Forest?"
None of them had an answer.
At this moment, Ernesto walked in.
"Mr. Green, we found another team searching near the Dark Forest. Perhaps the target is also
Laurence."
"Who are they?"
Hearing Samuel's question, Ernesto shacked his head.
"I don't know. They are cunning. But they do look like mercenaries more than people from Country F."
Samuel frowned.
"Samuel, could it be the force behind all these?"
Lucas' conjecture happened to coincide with Samuel's.
While if the other force that searching for Laurence was from the group behind the scenes, then who
would it be to block him?
Things were getting more and more complicated.
"Keep going. Track down that force and find out where they are staying if possible."
"OK."
Ernesto retreated rapidly.
Samuel hadn't told Ernesto about Alison's arrival. It was hard to say that if he could withstand it if he
had known that Alison was missing, or even dead.
As Samuel turned around, he saw Lucas' eyebrows knitted in a frown. This boy was just so precocious
that it was easy for everyone to forget he was still a child. Thinking of this, Samuel felt a bit sorry for
him.
"Go get some rest. You must be tired after flying for so long. As for Laurence and Davon, take your
time. Haste makes waste."
"But..."
"Be good. If you get sick, Mommy will be even more worried."
The words pursed Lucas' lips successfully.
He nodded and turned back to his room.
However, Samuel couldn't fall asleep anymore.
Seeing Samuel standing outside, Morgan handed him the medicine and water.
"Mr. Green, it's time to take your medicine."
Samuel's body hadn't recovered yet, which made it risky for him to show up this time, but he insisted
since it concerned Davon and Phoenix. Morgan could do nothing but took good care of their bodies
with due diligence.
Samuel took the medicine and said in a low voice, "Take good care of Mrs. Green and ensure her
safety no matter what happens."
"I will."
"I mean, if it's either Nicole or the baby, it's always Nicole."
Samuel looked at Morgan seriously.
She paused for a moment before nodding.
Unlike Samuel, many men cared more about children. She was a little surprised, but she said nothing.
Time passed in everyone's anxiety and depression.
Phoenix had had a long sleep, as no one wanted to bother her. Perhaps because of the sadness or
tiredness, Phoenix fell into a marathon of sleep, and Nicole was having a slight fever.
Morgan gave her some medicine since Nicole's mental state was not very well.
Samuel said nothing but he kept frowning all the time.
Twenty-four hours later, the result came out. The broken leg was not Davon's.
This news gave everyone relief.
"It's not Davon's! It's not Davon's!"
Crying and laughing at the same time, Kim was overjoyed, while Zayn was still puzzled. He whispered,
"Now that the leg is not from Davon, why would it be in his pant? So Davon is still alive?"
This question silenced everyone again.
They could still remember Laurence's destructive power. Even though they hadn't watched the live
broadcast, they saw how crazy he was through the surveillance videos.
Would Davon be able to survive Laurence?
No one dared to guess.
After Phoenix woke up and heard about the broken leg, she was stunned before burst into laughter. It
was not until she stopped laughing, she started to cry.
If it weren't for Morgan, Nicole was scared that such polarized emotions would have driven Phoenix
insane.
"Phoenix, Davon will be fine. He will be fine."
Nicole said.
Maybe it was the firm gaze, maybe it was Nicole who mentioned the matter of the broken leg. Phoenix
had an inexplicable trust in her.
"I trust you. Davon is alive. He must still be alive."
Everyone was encouraged, but Samuel said carefully, "Whether he is alive or not, to the outside world,
we must pretend to be sad."
"Why?"
Nicole sensed that he seemed to have hidden something from everyone.
Looking at his wife's puzzled face, Samuel whispered, "Another force is searching for Laurence. Before
leaving the Seapolis City, Laurence has implanted a chip under his subcutaneous tissue, so that I can
track him. But now, there is no feedback. It seems that he has been segregated on purpose. It might be
Davon who did this if they are together. We don't know why he did it, so the best way is to take the
quiet approach."
Everyone was stunned after hearing this.
Zayn took the first to react.
"You mean this is probably a plan between them?"
"Just a guess. I'm not sure."
Samuel fixed his eyes on Phoenix, in case of an overreaction.
Phoenix was stunned for a while, but she was calm and continued softly, "As long as he is still alive,
nothing else matters."
"Then we should be careful lately. Several unknown forces are behind us. We can't tell if they are
enemies or friends, so it is still necessary to search in the Dark Forest every day."
"OK."
Samuel set up a plan for everyone.
After listening carefully, Nicole found the plan very acceptable. Thus, she went back to her room.
It was already noon when Lucas woke up. The atmosphere was still a little depressed after eating.
To confuse the outside world, Phoenix kept going to the Dark Forest before dawn, as a few days ago.
With Lucas following them, Nicole went to the Dark Forest with Samuel.
However, as soon as they entered the Dark Forest, a creepy feeling came to them, as if Death was
staring at them in the darkness. It was extremely uncomfortable. That kind of threat made them more
thrilling since they were both skilled.
Samuel glanced at Lucas and whispered, "No matter what happens later, take your mommy out of
here."
"What about you?"
Nicole grabbed onto Samuel. She knew him well and thus felt a little angry.
"Are you going to leave me alone again? Samuel, you haven't learned a lesson in Country F, right?"
Samuel was depressing hearing the words.
"Nicole..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the danger behind him approached
suddenly.
