Originally, Quinn Thorne thought that with the access records, it would be an easy task to find Raina North.
In fact, he was slapped in the face by reality; after going through all the access records of the manor, and even the lists of every worker and servant in the manor, there was no trace of Raina North.
He even specifically reviewed the access records from all the exits of the manor over the past few days, and still found nothing. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel✶fire.net
Just like before, it seemed as if Raina North had vanished into thin air.
At this moment, a member of The Dark Tower reported: "Lord of Vermilion, we’ve discovered a suspicious item."
Quinn Thorne was instantly energized and immediately ordered, "Bring it up quickly."
When the member of The Dark Tower truly brought up the suspicious item, Quinn Thorne was rendered speechless: "Isn’t this clothing? This is a suspicious item?"
The member of The Dark Tower also felt wronged: "But this clothing was found in a rarely visited corner."
"What’s wrong with a corner? Maybe the person just prefers changing clothes in a corner..." As he continued speaking, Quinn Thorne’s voice gradually lowered, and turning his head, he saw Elias Hawthorne had also looked over.
Elias Hawthorne immediately stood up from his seat, strode over, and picked up the clothing. He caught a faint fragrance as he approached.
Seeing Quinn Thorne looking at him, Elias Hawthorne nodded: "It’s the scent from earlier, Raina’s scent."
"So it really is. But we’ve searched the entire manor and there’s no trace of her. Could she have flown away?"
Elias Hawthorne furrowed his brow and suddenly ordered: "Bring the footage of people leaving the site."
Quinn Thorne immediately gave the order, and the surveillance footage was brought over swiftly.
Quinn Thorne stood behind Elias Hawthorne and watched the surveillance footage together, yet he almost strained his eyes with nothing to show for it.
"Boss, there’s nothing there. She must still be in the manor." Quinn Thorne rambled on for a while but then saw Elias Hawthorne freeze the frame on the video.
Quinn Thorne looked carefully and said: "Isn’t this Orion Rivers?"
"Find out where he is right now?"
"No need to ask, he must have left with that crazy group from The Celestial Alliance." Quinn Thorne seemed to realize something: "Oh, I get it now, Boss. You’re planning to subdue Orion Rivers and bring The Celestial Alliance under your control, right?"
This time, the boss took action against the Lowell Family members, and there will surely be many within The Dark Tower who have opinions about this, since this is, after all, the foundation of the Lowell Family. Even though the Boss is now respected, there are still those who remember the Lowell Family.
Plus, in the eyes of others, the former tower lord was kind to the Boss. If the Boss really wipes out the entire Lowell Family, it would invite criticism. Although none of us really care, it’s still not ideal. Rather than starting anew, it’s easier to assimilate an existing organization.
Compared to recruiting from scratch, directly taking over a force is much more convenient. The power of The Celestial Alliance, although not as great as that of The Dark Tower or the other Six Great Families, is still considerable, especially with a significant number of experts within the alliance. It’s the best choice.
No wonder the Boss was so partial to The Celestial Alliance at the meeting earlier.
Quinn Thorne felt like he understood and confidently patted his chest in assurance: "Boss, rest assured, I’ll take people and bring Orion Rivers back. As long as our methods are tough enough, we’re not afraid he won’t submit. I’ll make sure he kneels and sings ’Conquer’ this time!"
"What did you say?" Elias Hawthorne turned his head, his voice seeming to squeeze out from between clenched teeth, making it quite intimidating.
Quinn Thorne froze and stammered: "I said I’ll bring Orion Rivers back..."
