It was the afternoon when Tobias woke up again.His head felt heavy. He looked at the time, only to realize how long he was unconscious.Tobias struggled to get up. Then, Finn entered and said, "You're awake, Mr. Ripley. The doctor said you have a severe head injury, so you shouldn't move around too much. Please lie down and rest. "Mr. and Mrs. Ripley Senior were here while you were unconscious. Ms. Hawkins and Mr. Saint-Laurent were here too. They were worried for you. I'll tell them you're awake."Tobias couldn't be bothered about these things. He anxiously asked, "Finn, don't bother about these things. Have we heard any news about Lucy yet?"Finn said, "We have. My men followed the man into the deep mountains and sent me the location details. Then, I couldn't contact him anymore. I think he was caught."Tobias said, "That means the man who bought the medicinal ingredients is related to Lucy's disappearance. Have you sent a team to search the place?"Finn said, "Mr. Chadwick

Chad shouted, "Start the ship!"Lucy sensed something was off too. Although no police cars were within the vicinity, the wary glint of the passersby made her suspect that the people surrounding her were undercover police.When Chad brought Lucy on the boat, she said, "Chad, my stomach hurts. I need to go to the bathroom."It aligned with what Chad wanted. Vigilant, he scanned his surroundings and said slowly, "Get in now."Lucy's lips curled into a cold smirk and entered the cabin.However, when she entered the cabin, two men covered her mouth and gestured to her to stay quiet.Lucy warily looked at them.One showed her his identification and whispered, "Mrs. Ripley, we're the police. We have full control over the ships here. Follow us. We will leave quietly."Lucy nodded. "Okay."Then, sounds of gunshots came from the other side of the ship. The gunshots caused screams from the surrounding crowd."Everyone on the ship, you have been surrounded. Surrender now, or suffer the c

Tobias yelled, "Get lost!"He pushed the nurse away and walked outside, knocking things over. A violent storm poured outside the window, increasing the frustration in his heart.Howard, Zayne, Fiona, and Samson entered. They noticed how distraught Tobias was, covered in blood, their expressions were terrified.Howard stopped him. "Tobias, why are you covered in blood? Get your wound treated."Overwhelmed by emotion, Tobias said, "Grandpa, is Lucy home? She must be home, right?"Howard's body swayed at Lucy's name. He turned away as his face turned pale. Pain filled his eyes.When Tobias saw it, his eyes shuddered.An ominous feeling rose in his heart.Tobias looked at Zayne, whose face was turned away, regretful and devastated.Tobias looked at Fiona and Samson. They had looks of pain and regret on their faces.Fiona held Tobias' hand and said, "Stay calm and listen to me. Lucy fell into the sea. The professional dive rescue team scoured the sea the entire night but couldn't

Tobias leaped into the sea. The tides were rising, and the waves were violent, so his efforts to swim were strenuous. He felt as if the waves were about to swallow him, but he couldn't be bothered and continued to search the sea. However, he saw nothing apart from the endless body of water.Unsure how long he had been swimming, he started to feel like he was losing his breath. Then, a professional dive rescuer brought him to shore. When he opened his eyes again, he lifelessly lay on the ground, utterly hopeless.Fiona wailed and said, "Tobias, how could you be so silly? Lucy is gone, but you cared about nothing and leaped into the water. What is your family supposed to do? Were you planning to abandon me and your grandparents?"When Fiona mentioned his grandparents, Tobias' heart pounded."Tobias, listen to me. You have to continue to live life well. Lucy would be devastated to see you so deranged."Fiona tried to persuade him, but everything she said fell on deaf ears.Tobia

Tobias saw how unkempt he was. He looked like a spiritless vagabond, lacking the imposing presence he once had.Tobias returned to his bedroom and washed up quickly. After changing his clothes, he returned to his high-spirited self once again.However, at this point, Tobias had no warmth to him. He was a ruthless demon."Let's go."Tobias took the car keys, and Cedric followed him.Tobias asked, "What is going on at Ripley Group?"Cedric said, "Many in Ripley Group are unhappy with Aloysius. Those who did not cooperate with him were asked to leave. Many of the employees were replaced with his people. Oh, Finn and Avery were asked to leave too."Tobias stopped in his tracks and said, "Let's go. We need to find Finn and Avery."They found Finn and Avery. After carefully plotting, they sought out many others.They knew Aloysius was behind everything, but they needed proof. Gathering evidence of his misdeeds was the most important thing now.Tobias only behaved like an average pe
