,Coolest Girl in Town
The victim’s voice was interrupted before the words could even be fully expressed. “I’ll give you an
hour,” the caller added. “If you’re not here by then, this kid won’t live to see another sunrise.” When the
call abruptly ended, Elise’s face darkened. Then, she turned around to look at Alexander, who could
sense her mood change. “Did anything happen?” As she tried her best to remain calm, Elise
nonchalantly answered, “It’s nothing big. I just can’t go to the movies with you later as I have an
emergency to settle.” Although he was curious, he refrained from prying and instead replied, “I’ll send
you there.”
Despite that, she rejected him. “It’s fine. I’m sorry, but please wait for me to come back because I have
something important to tell you as well.” Alexander grunted in acknowledgement and watched as she
left. It was after Elise left the restaurant that her expression darkened almost immediately before she
quickly hailed a cab and entered the vehicle. She never expected someone to learn about her and
even kidnap Jamie.
Elise had figured that she managed to keep herself well under the radar throughout these years and
never thought that someone would discover her identity. Looks like tonight will be a hard battle to
fight. “I’ll give you half an hour to prepare 3 million for me,” she said after calling an unknown number.
At the same time, the person on the other end of the call was obviously delighted upon hearing Elise’s
voice. “Elise, is that you?” “Yes. Be quick, though. I’m coming over shortly to get the money. Also, I
need you to prepare a car with excellent performance and a weapon.” “Understood.”
After ending the call, Elise’s gaze darkened before she urged the cab driver to increase his speed. On
the other hand, Alexander felt a hint of disappointment as he stared at the empty seat in front of him
after she left. Right when he was about to leave, he received a call from Cameron. “Boss, I’ve heard
rumors that something huge is going to happen tonight. Someone has kidnapped one of Dragonweiss’
core members. It seems like they are trying to bait the leader of Dragonweiss to reveal themselves.”
The corner of Alexander’s lips curled upward at that moment.
“Someone actually have the guts to try and offend their leader?” “I can’t get any information about them
at this point, but I heard that it’s a huge commotion. Our men are afraid to investigate deeper without
further commands, so they’re asking for your opinion.” Dragonweiss was an underground organization
that was formed three years ago and they had already managed to widen their influence at the speed
of light. In the span of around two to three years, they had already managed to take over more than
half of the entire underground scene.
Nevertheless, none of the core members of Dragonweiss had ever revealed themselves to the public.
As for their leader, there were many rumors about the person. Most of the tittle-tattle described the
person as having a legendary identity, so almost everyone in the underground scene wanted to know
who the leader of Dragonweiss was. This included Alexander as well. “Don’t interfere with their issue
first. Get hold of their exact coordinates and send it to me.” “Yes, Young Master Alex.” After hanging up
the call, Alexander stared at the empty seat in front of him and looked as if he was deep in thought.
It was a known fact that Athesea was being dominated by two large underground organizations—the
recently established Dragonweiss and Midnight Reign, which had been in existence for ages. However,
no one knew that the boundless heir of the Griffith Group, Alexander, was actually masquerading as
the leader of Midnight Resign and held the ultimate say everywhere. Right then, he thought, Would
Elise still choose to be with me when she discovers my identity? On the other hand, Elise had already
arrived at the mutually agreed meeting point and all the things that she requested in advance were all
prepared for her.
“These are all the things that you requested for,” the man mentioned to her. “Is that enough?” She
glanced at the items. “It’s enough. Bring me my mask.” “Alright.” The man immediately headed off to
grab a fox mask for Elise to wear. “Do you need us to come with you?” “You can arrange for some of
our men to keep an eye around that place and to listen to guns being fired as a signal. If I don’t come
out after half an hour, you guys can make a move.”
“Understood.” Then, Elise asked her men to move the suitcase bearing the money to the car before
she entered the driver’s seat. She started the engines after stabbing the keys in the ignition and sped
off. Since she was speeding, she had only spent 15 minutes when it would originally take 30 minutes to
arrive in Westhill Garden. Upon reaching the place, she noticed that it was so quiet that chills went
down her spine. Elise noted that she still had 20 minutes left before their deal when she looked at her
wristwatch. So, she calmly sat in the car while observing her surroundings before her phone rang less
than two minutes later.
“As expected from you to actually have the courage to come alone. I really admire your guts.” She
replied coldly, “Stop wasting my time. I’ve already brought over all the requested items, so where is
he?” “Don’t be agitated. Since it’s a deal, I’ll obviously return the kid once I have the money. Get out of
the car now and come in without any weapons.” Her hand reached out for the hidden weapon at the
bottom of her pants as her gaze darkened. “I can come in alone, but I need to see the person whom I
want to see. If I can’t leave with him in one piece today, I’ll make sure that all of you pay for it.”
“Haha!” An obnoxious laugh rang out from the other end of the call. “We shall see if you can actually do
that. Now, get out of the car and come on in.” Elise then pushed the door open and stared at the
garden in front of her before making her way toward it without any hesitation. Upon her arrival at the
entrance, all the lights in the garden were switched on. “Take 100 steps forward and turn right
thereafter.
Then, I want you to take another 30 steps forward before making a left turn. You’ll see rocks in front of
you; once you walk past them, enter the cave and we’ll be waiting for you inside.” While she proceeded
with his instructions, she asked, “Since I’ve already arrived, aren’t you going to let me talk to him?”
“What? Are you afraid that we would go against our deal?” Elise chuckled coldly. “You should at least
let me know that he’s safe and sound, shouldn’t you?” “Don’t worry! He’s obviously safe.” Then, the
man passed the phone to Jamie and ordered, “Speak!”
However, Jamie bit her lips and refused to talk, which annoyed the kidnapper so much that he kicked
Jamie in the stomach. Jamie retorted, “You little a*shole! I’ll be sure to get my revenge for this!”
However, the man ignored Jamie and spoke to the phone instead, “Did you hear that? He’s obviously
alive and kicking!” Upon hearing Jamie’s voice, Elise felt relieved. “According to the deal, I’ll give you
the money once you hand him over.”
“Great! We love dealing with people like you.” Elise started to head into the cave a moment after she
hung up. The place was dim since it wasn’t as bright as the sun. It took her some time to get
accustomed to the dark environment in the cave before she began to observe her surroundings. Her
surroundings suddenly brightened up after she walked for about ten meters. “Haha! How’s this? What
do you think about our little game?”
