CHAPTER 560: CHAPTER 560: ELIAS HAWTHORNE IS MISSING (2)

Pip Finch suddenly realized and gossiped to the Third Elder, "What’s really going on with the Lord of the Dark Tower?"

Even though he had relived tonight’s excitement countless times, the Third Elder was still very eager, recounting the events with a passionate and enthusiastic tone.

Raina North was quite speechless, and just as she was about to interrupt, her phone suddenly vibrated.

The vibration was very peculiar, three long buzzes followed by one short one.

Raina’s expression changed suddenly.

This was a special contact method she had left for Old Three.

After being kidnapped by that old guy Morgan Payne, her phone had sunk to the bottom of the sea, and today she finally had a new one sent over.

Originally, she had planned to contact Old Three during the day, but had been too busy to get around to it.

Worried about the two children far away in Southgate, Raina wasted no time in finding a quiet spot and called back using her special contact method.

As soon as the call connected, Old Three’s excited voice came through, "Boss, you finally answered your phone? Are you alright?"

"I’m fine."

"That’s good." Old Three sighed in relief and asked, "Boss, where are you now? I’ll come to you."

"No need, I’m in The Umbral Zone now."

The Umbral Zone.

Old Three fell silent instantly. Regarding this legendary place, in some ways, its reputation was like thunder in his ears.

However, he was of little ability and lacked the means to get an invitation to The Umbral Zone.

"Boss, are you safe now?"

"I’m safe, don’t worry. I have some standing here in The Umbral Zone too."

Old Three was immediately reassured upon hearing Raina’s words.

Raina asked again, "How are Casper and Shea?"

"Young Master Casper and Miss Shea are both doing well, but they miss you dearly."

"I miss them too. Old Three, find some time to bring them out of The Hawthorne Family. If Casper and Shea are unwilling, just say it’s at my request."

Old Three was a bit surprised but quickly agreed, "Don’t worry, Boss. As soon as dawn breaks, I’ll fetch those little ancestors. Now that Elias Hawthorne is missing, The Hawthorne Family is in chaos. Leaving those two there makes me uneasy."

"What did you say? Elias Hawthorne is missing too?" Raina was extremely shocked, "Who in Southgate would have the guts to mess with Elias Hawthorne?"

Old Three said, "In Southgate, naturally, no one dares to touch President Hawthorne. But didn’t President Hawthorne leave Southgate to find you? There’s been no news ever since."

Raina was even more astonished, "You’re saying Elias Hawthorne left Southgate to find me?"

"Yes, Boss, you didn’t know?"

Raina furrowed her brow and immediately pressed for more details.

Old Three dared not hide anything, immediately recounting the situation following Raina’s disappearance.

Raina’s expression became somewhat dazed, murmuring, "How is that possible? Elias Hawthorne..."

His first reaction was clearly to get rid of her,

but after thinking it over carefully, it seemed she was mistaken too.

Back then, it was Elias Hawthorne’s subordinates who tried to eliminate her, not Elias himself.

For a moment, Raina’s emotions turned quite odd, her heart steeped in a hot spring-like sensation, indescribable in its complexity.

Raina, suppressing her emotions, instructed, "Now deploy all your forces to search for Elias Hawthorne’s whereabouts. I need to know where he is."

Old Three was taken aback and blurted out, "So President Hawthorne hasn’t fallen out of favor after all."

Raina: "..."

Realizing he had spoken too quickly, Old Three hurriedly said, "I’ll go investigate right away. I promise to find President Hawthorne’s whereabouts in the shortest time possible."

After saying that, he decisively hung up the phone.
