Chapter 126 The Girl Who Vanished
The skinny doctor was so startled, he fell right off his chair.
This man was terrifying.
That look in his eyes just now–it was like staring down a wolf
Lyle sat up slowly, noticing the bandages wrapped around his head and leg.
He scanned the small, dimly lit clinic, then fixed his gaze on the man on the floor.
The guy was wearing a white coat–must be the doctor here.
His dry lips parted. “You the one who patched me up?”
Finished
Panicked, the doctor waved his hands. “No, no, not me. A girl saved you. Really pretty. She carried you here and did all the work. I just gave her supplies and tools.”
Lyle frowned. “A girl?”
“Yes, yes,” the doctor nodded vigorously.
“I saw her medical license. Her name had… something with ‘Beck‘ in it. Sorry, I only glanced at it, didn’t catch the whole. thing.
– Lyle stared in silence for a while.
He hadn’t expected a girl to save him.
He wasn’t exactly light–she actually carried him on her back?
Shame he didn’t know who she was. Otherwise, he would’ve thanked her properly.
“She live nearby?”
“Don’t think so. I’ve run this clinic for years, never seen her before.”
Lyle didn’t press further. He reached for his phone, only to find it was broken.
He looked up. “Can I borrow your phone?”
“Yes Here!”
The doctor scrambled to hand it over
Lyle made a call.
“I’ll send you the location Come pick me up And bring some cash”
He hung up and handed the phone back to the doctor, who shrank into a corner, barely daring to breathe, occasionally sneaking glances at Tyle

The doctor spoke up. That girl stitched you up you shouldn’t move around too much
Muutes later, a convey of luxury cars pulled up at the alley entrance. A group of men in black entered the shini
“Mc Lyle”

Lyle nodded. “You bring the cash?”
“It’s right here”
One of the men opened a case filled with stacks of red bills.
Lyle grabbed five or six bundles and walked over to the doctor, who had ducked under a table in fear.
He tossed the cash on the desk. “Thanks,”
Then he turned and left with his men.
Finished
Once the clinic was quiet again, the doctor crawled out from under the table–and froze at the sight of the mountain of cash.
In the lead car of the convoy, Lyle leaned back in his seat.
“A girl saved me last night. Find out who she is.”
“What’s her name?”
“If I knew that, would I need you to look?”
“Then what does she look like? How old? What does she do?”
“She’s very pretty, probably young. A doctor. Her name had something like ‘Beck in it.”
“Got it. I’ll start investigating”
“Should we take you to the hospital?”
“No. Back to the hotel.”
Lyle returned to Holt Hotel, one of the Shanks family’s strongholds in every major city.
Their turf.
Safe.
Not long after he arrived, two tall, muscular men with dark skin came into his suite
“You finally made it back. We were freaking out. Couldn’t reach you at all”
1yle asked, “Any leads on Talonox?”
loth men shook their beads.
“That bastard’s too slippery. His counter–surveillance has only gotten better over the years. We haven’t caught a single trace”
“He’s so damn arrogant! Even gave himself the name Talonox Calls us wolves, says he’s above us–flying in the sky where we can’t touch him Ugh, I swear, I’d love to blast him out of the air with a missile If I ever catch him. I’m taking him down.”
“Yeah night Like you’d ever catch hun Quit dreaming”
“Don’t underestimate me Anything can happen”
“Sure The urdy way you’re catching Talonos is if he collapses in the street and you happen to walk by
“Are you insulting me?”
I’m just stating facts. You can’t even beat me
“Bulidur Wanna go right now?”
257 PM P.

“Shut up!” I yle roared, finally snapping.
Both men quieted instantly
Lyle asked. “How’s the hostage we rescued?”
Tinished
Not good. Talonox tortured him. His leg’s done for, and mentally he’s not stable either. Kid’s only fourteen–just starting his life
“At least he’s alive.”
A flicker of cold light passed through Lyle’s eyes. His fist clenched tight.
“Keep tracking Talonox.”
“What about you, boss?”
“I’m going to find someone. I’m heading back to Circovia tomorrow,”
