The man was fast, but he left an obvious trail behind him so Larry wouldn’t lose him. It was almost as if he wanted Larry to catch him.
Eventually, Larry found the man on the rooftop of the building.
He was dressed in a white lab coat and wore a face mask which covered most of his face, but Larry could see the look of mockery in his eyes.
“You fell for it!” the man said in Chanaean with a strange accent.
He’s from J Nation? Oh, no… I’m not his target… They’re actually after Joan! I can’t believe how stupid I was! They were obviously trying to lure me away, but I was so obsessed with finding the mastermind behind everything that I let this possibility slip my mind! I’m almost there, Joan! Please be all right…
Larry thought to himself as he turned around and ran back to Joan’s ward.
Larry heard her scream as he got closer to her ward and ran at full speed towards the door.
He let out a sigh of relief when he arrived and saw Joan about to leave the room. Oh, thank goodness, she’s all right!
“Larry! Our baby! They took our baby! Go get him back!” Joan’s voice was filled with despair.
A man dressed like a doctor had entered her ward moments after Larry left and snatched her baby out of her arms.
“What?”
Larry tensed up instantly when he realized he had been so focused on Joan that he didn’t even notice his child missing.
It hasn’t even been a minute since her screams earlier, so whoever took my baby couldn’t have gotten far! If their plan was to kidnap my baby, then their main priority must be escaping the hospital!
With that thought in mind, he then ran out of the room and made his way towards the hospital’s entrance.
Larry stopped in his tracks when he saw the two guys from J Nation at the hospital’s entrance. His eyes were filled with rage, and he looked like he wanted to rip them both to pieces.
The two guys stopped running as well and had troubled looks on their faces when they saw Caspian and Nancy in front of them.
The guy holding the baby was Yuri who had been sent by Carl to go after Larry and Joan.
After a lot of planning, Yuri decided it was easier for him to complete the mission by kidnapping the baby instead of Joan.
Yuri didn’t have a lot of men in Marsingfill, and it would be too conspicuous to kidnap someone in a public area with a large group of people anyway.
As such, Yuri decided to only bring one guy with him for the operation.
Unfortunately for him, Caspian and Nancy had arrived right as his plan was about to succeed.
“Give me my baby, and I’ll spare your life,” Larry pointed at Yuri and said coldly.
“Do you take me for a fool or something? I’m not about to hand over my one and only ticket out of here!”
Yuri was panicking a little at being surrounded, but he refused to back down without a fight.
“You guys had better think this through! I have your baby, and he’ll be the one to pay the price for your rash actions!” Yuri threatened them coldly, not leaving any room for doubt.
“No, please! Don’t hurt my baby, I’m begging you!”
