"Still haven't found him?"
"Alright, please keep an eye out for him. No matter what method the other party used to abduct Saloon, he couldn't have taken him too far away. I even think it's very likely that Saloon is still in the building, just hidden away."
In a gloomy study, a white-haired old man slowly hung up the phone. There was a somber expression on his face.
The old man was already very advanced in years. As he grew older, he was more susceptible to the cold. Therefore, the lights in the study were not turned on. Only the dim flame in the fireplace flickered.
Like many antiques, the old man in front of him did not particularly like equipment such as floor heating and air conditioning. In comparison, he preferred the fireplace. This kind of furniture reminded him of the memories of his youth.
At this moment, there was a brand-new file in front of the old man.
On the file was the name of a Chinese man — Chen Chen.
"Could it be him?"
The old man murmured in a low voice.
Just last month, the Als Mutual Assistance Association had sent news that the members of the Alexander family, the Edwards family, and the Rodriguez family on Wall Street had all regained their youth in the past few months.
However, this change did not attract anyone's attention at first.
After all, the concept of plastic surgery had long existed in the real world. As long as one was willing to spend the money, it was not difficult to make an old man in his sixties or seventies look like a man in his forties or fifties. It was just that most people did not think it was necessary.
This was because no matter how young they looked after plastic surgery, they would still be how old they should be. It was not possible for their bodies to become younger just because they looked younger.
However, as they received news one after another, they could no longer sit still.
This group of people discovered that not only did the members of these families look younger, but their physical qualities had also been greatly improved!
No, it should be said that it was because the members of these families had completely rejuvenated their bodies that they had become younger in appearance.
In other words, this group of people had found a technology, a technology that could restore them to their youth!
As soon as this conclusion was made, Paul Blanc could no longer sit still.
Paul, who was now over eighty years old, had long since reached the end of his life. However, he had always maintained an optimistic attitude. He always believed that with the rapid advancement of technology, there would be a technology that could prolong life sooner or later.
For this reason, more than ten years ago, he had invested in more than ten technologies that could prolong life.
But what followed was a cruel reality.
Three of the technologies that he had invested in were declared to have failed, and the other four were declared to have failed halfway through their research. As for the remaining three, the researchers took his money and went to the outer region to hide their identities, never to be seen again …
Paul's heart gradually fell to the bottom as these technologies failed one by one.
In the end, he even began to suspect that the world would not allow the existence of life-prolonging technology.
However, when he saw the message from the Als Mutual Aid Association, he slowly regained his hope.
According to the information, the reason why this group of people regained their youth was not because of plastic surgery, but because they had all been to Namibia and met with a company called Blackwatch.
This company seemed to have mastered a safe and effective life-prolonging technology.
Therefore, after investigating Chen Chen's family background, an emotion known as greed slowly began to grow.
In the end, he agreed to the Fraternity's suggestion to tie him up and interrogate him. After all, as a commoner without any influence in society, the habit of taking someone's life and death had long been engraved in the depths of his heart, even if he didn't realize it himself.
However, why did the Bureau of Investigation fail right after he gave the order?
Not only that, but before the news of the failure spread, his son, Sloane Brown, also disappeared in broad daylight.
The first thing Brown thought of was the other party's revenge.
A faint trace of regret flashed in Paul's eyes. Previously, he only saw the possibility of prolonging his life. All of this was too tempting for him, who was about to enter the coffin. Therefore, he resorted to extreme measures without thinking.
He thought that everything would be a piece of cake, but he never thought that not only did he fail to tie the other party up, but he also became enemies with them.
With this in mind, Paul picked up the phone again and dialed the number in his contact list.
"It's me."
"Look into it, I need a lot of information on Blackwatch. I suspect it has something to do with Sloane's disappearance..."
"Thank you."
After hanging up, Paul flipped through the information that had already been torn to shreds. However, at this moment, there was a sudden burst of applause behind him.
This voice came from behind Paul, but Paul could swear that since he sat in this position in the afternoon, not a single person had entered the entire study...
If this voice did not come from his bodyguards or servants, then did that not mean...
Paul's heart suddenly sank. He took a deep breath and slowly turned around. He suddenly saw someone standing in the corner of the room behind him.
No, there was indeed someone standing there!
The voice seemed to be sneering, but no matter how hard the old man looked, with his blurry old eyes, he could only see a figure and nothing else.
"Clap clap clap clap..."
The sound of applause kept coming from that corner, and then a somewhat hoarse voice came out. "Sir Paul, you've figured out the reason so quickly?"
"Who are you?"
When he heard the voice, Paul Brown said in a deep voice, "What are you doing in my manor? If it's just for money, I can guarantee that you can pick any item and leave without a hitch. "
"No, no, no, I'm not interested in items, and I'm not here for money."
The voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of mockery. "I'm here to give you a gift, sir."
"A gift?"
When he heard that the other party was not a thief, Paul was not surprised. After all, if he was really a thief, he would not have the ability to pass through the periphery where there were sentries every few steps. Even if he really did sneak in, he would be hiding as well as he could. Why would he take the initiative to show himself?
"The gift is simple."
The voice continued. "I believe you'll like it."
With that, Paul saw a plastic bag flying out of thin air in the darkness.
Without hesitation, Paul directly grabbed the plastic bag in the air and caught it in his hand.
On the plastic bag, there was a cold and soft touch, like two pieces of slippery meat. Paul frowned and slowly opened the plastic bag. Suddenly, a pungent fishy smell drifted out.
Paul's ominous premonition grew stronger and stronger.
"Who are you, and what is this?"
"A pair of kidneys, you don't even recognize this?"
The black figure suddenly laughed in a low voice. "I picked it up not far from your door. I thought it should be something dropped by someone in your family, so I brought it back for you. As for my identity..."
"Didn't you just see it?"
With that said, the figure slowly walked out of the darkness and walked to the area where the light from the fire could reach, revealing the face of a young man from Mainland China.
This face, this face...
At this time, the old man saw that the young man in front of him had a smile at the corner of his mouth, and there was a sinister glint in his eyes, staring coldly at him.
Paul slowly opened his mouth, revealing a look of disbelief.
"This is..."
"You..."
