Chapter 123<\/p>\n
On the outskirts near Astonburg, there was a heavily guarded chemical plant in Betrico.<\/p>\n
Inside the luxurious office on the top floor of the chemical plant, a dynamic middle\u2013aged man was standing in front of a giant screen, playing indoor simulated golf.<\/p>\n
Someone knocked on the door, and two bodyguards in black suits entered.<\/p>\n
The leading bodyguard walked up behind the middle\u2013aged man, looked down, and said emotionlessly, \u201cBoss, he\u2019s missing!\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing this, the middle\u2013aged man stopped what he was doing, turned around, and showed a gloomy look.<\/p>\n
The next moment, he swung the golf club hard at the bodyguard in the black suit, who immediately fell to the ground, unable to move.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo many of you couldn\u2019t even manage a helpless person lying in bed! Am I paying you to just stand around?\u201d the middle- aged man shouted angrily.<\/p>\n
The bodyguard who had just been standing at the back looked down and answered cautiously, \u201cBoss, someone took him<\/p>\n
away.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe bodyguards at the door said they were frozen by two strangers, completely unable to move.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose two were wearing masks and knew some kind of hypnotic trick. Our men were no match for them.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the time our team reassembled and pursued them, we realized they were not only adept at hypnosis, but also possessed superb shooting abilities. In under two seconds, all four of our vehicles had collided and were completely wrecked.\u201d<\/p>\n
The middle\u2013aged man pinched the bridge of his nose and asked, \u201cDid you check the license plate?\u201d<\/p>\n
The bodyguard replied, \u201cWe did, but there\u2019s no information at all about that car. It\u2019s like someone is deliberately protecting<\/p>\n
it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The middle\u2013aged man fumed and said, \u201cHow dare someone snatch him from me without even asking! Spread the word, search everywhere. We have to find Roy!<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd when you find those two, just kill them!\u201d<\/p>\n
The bodyguard nodded and replied, \u201cYes, we\u2019ll give it our all!\u201d<\/p>\n
With that, he dragged the unconscious bodyguard out of the office.<\/p>\n
The middle\u2013aged man, looking dissatisfied, walked over to his desk and picked up a cigar.<\/p>\n
He lit it, took a couple of deep drags, and exhaled a cloud of smoke.<\/p>\n
After another two puffs, the man picked up the phone on the desk and dialed a number<\/p>\n
When the call connected, a playful woman\u2019s voice came through, \u201cHey, Felix, what\u2019s up? I\u2019m at the spa now!\u201d<\/p>\n
The middle\u2013aged man\u2019s expression softened at her voice, a far cry from the fierce look just moments ago. He said, \u201cMandy, Roy is missing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mandy was shocked. The middle\u2013aged man was Felix Lewis, the head of the Lewis family in Betrico.<\/p>\n
Decades ago, the Lewis Group was primarily involved in real estate. However, in the past ten years, it had expanded into healthcare and the chemical industries. As a result, its business empire had now outstripped many prominent families in<\/p>\n

Rumor had it that Felix was involved in both legal and illegal businesses. Over the years, all the companies and individuals who accused him of chemical plant pollution had mysteriously folded.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat? How could he be missing?\u201d Mandy, in the midst of her anti\u2013aging treatment, suddenly panicked.<\/p>\n
Ignoring the beauty therapist working on her face, Mandy pushed her away and sat up, revealing a face covered with grid marks and red spots.<\/p>\n
Looking hurried yet trying to lower her voice, Mandy said, \u201cFelix, didn\u2019t you have people watching him? What if he comes looking for me? What about me and Shirley?\u201d<\/p>\n
Felix said, \u201cWhy are you so nervous? I\u2019ve got everything under control. Besides, he\u2019s been injected with enough sedatives that he won\u2019t wake up anytime soon. Even if something miraculous happens, it would still take a while for him to wake up.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll find him before then, so just relax and enjoy your carefree\u2013life! Plus, Shirley\u2019s engagement is coming up soon, and you\u2019ll be Jeffrey\u2019s mother\u2013in\u2013law. Many people will envy you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Felix patiently comforted Mandy. They were both illegitimate children of the former head of the Lewis family, and before joining the Lewis family, they relied on each other at the orphanage.<\/p>\n
When Felix was 15 and Mandy was 12, the former head of the Lewis family found them and brought them back to the family.<\/p>\n
When Felix turned 30, his father suddenly passed away. He managed to outmaneuver Adam Lewis, the acknowledged son and presumptive heir, to assume leadership of the Lewis family.<\/p>\n
This caused quite a stir in Betrico at the time. How could an illegitimate son beat a legitimate heir for the inheritance? The high society couldn\u2019t stop gossiping.<\/p>\n
But soon, Felix\u2019s capabilities led the Lewis family to rise higher and higher, and people gradually forgot his past.<\/p>\n
Over the years, Felix had been like a doting brother to his only sister, Mandy, giving her everything she wanted without hesitation, including money, status, and partners.<\/p>\n
Hearing Felix\u2019s reassurance, Mandy felt at ease and went back to her spa chair, signaling the beauty therapist to continue her work.<\/p>\n
