Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 284

Chapter 284: She has gone missing

By a small store in a discreet street, a black Bentley was parked.

Inside the store, the staff members ran about, bringing exquisite boxes to the front table, one after another.

Every time they shifted more boxes to the table, they eyed the man sitting there.

Wrapped in a classic black suit and looking completely otherworldly, Adrian sat on a small bench by the wall, his eyes scanning across the boxes that were neatly arranged in front of him.

In all the boxes, there were various crocheted flowers, vibrant and beautiful.

Adrian slowly looked at each of them, his face not revealing the slightest shift.

It was hard to understand what Adrian was thinking, but Ji Yan surmised that the man did not like anything in this dilapidated store.

Hence, he leaned forward and whispered, "Second Master, if you don’t like anything here, why don’t we get Miss Yu some real flowers? I think girls like that better..."

"She doesn’t,’’ Adrian calmly said, his brows tugging together.

Ji Yan fell speechless.

It was already bizarre enough that his Second Master had stopped by a small store to buy flowers for Ella.

But now, he was insisting on buying crocheted flowers for her. Were all couples this unpredictable?

"Sir, are these not to your liking?" The store owner was a middle-aged man.

One look at Adrian, and they all knew that he was no ordinary man. Hence, the store owner and the staff members were extra cautious as well.

"Sunflowers," Adrian suddenly said, his indifferent gaze tracing across the crocheted roses.

"Sir wants sunflowers! Quick, go!" The store owner perked up as he ordered his people.

Right after, he turned to Adrian, "Sir, you are in luck. Our craftsmen recently crocheted a beautiful box of sunflowers..."

Once the box was presented, Adrian took one glance at it and slowly nodded, satisfied.

Holding the box carefully, Adrian left the place, followed by Ji Yan.

Inside the car, Ji Yan peeked at Adrian from the rearview mirror. And even though it wasn’t obvious, one could feel the spring air wrapped around the man as he held the box of crocheted sunflowers close to him.

Relieved, Ji Yan opened his mouth to ask, "Second Master, where to...?"

Adrian paused, "Eve Mansion.’’

"Yes," Ji Yan had just stepped on the accelerator when—

’Ringggg’

Ji Yan answered the call and in no time, his face paled.

"S-Second Master, when Miss Yu was leaving the Eve Mansion earlier this evening, the hidden guards found her actions a bit suspicious..."

Adrian’s gaze lifted from the box of crocheted flowers as he looked up at Ji Yan.

"So, they went against your orders and followed her to ensure that nothing was wrong. They couldn’t see the driver but the cab was very suspicious and soon..."

"Speak," Adrian’s eyes narrowed.

"The car disappeared." Ji Yan gulped, "Miss Yu is missing!"

...

Behind the underground garage of King Empires, a queue of mysterious men strode towards a small door.

The door opened, revealing a vast IT room hidden behind it.

The moment the door closed, the people looked at each other and saw the same confusion on each other’s face.

"Do you think somebody is breaching the security walls of King Empires?"

"It’s not possible..."

"They have an IT team designated to deal with those trifles."

"We wouldn’t be summoned at this hour if the matter was not as contrived."

"The President will be here anytime soon..."

Just as the person had finished speaking, the door was slammed open.

Adrian stepped inside, wrapped in a storm. His eyes were the darkest shade of red, and his entire aura reeked of a bloodthirst.

Ji Yan hurriedly stepped forward, "The Second Master wants you to track someone down, right this instant!"

Every minute was like a torment from there. There seemed to be an invisible pressure building upon everyone from that moment.

Adrian did not say anything yet it seemed like he would tear the place down.

Still, the team of professionals got on with their jobs while Ji Yan stepped to the side, making calls to inquire the people in the Eve Mansion.

Suddenly, Adrian turned to leave.

A gun!

Every place they had been to, together. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

She is gone...

She is gone...

Someone took her away...
