“Do you not remember me anymore, Miss Lan?” He smirked revealing his extraordinary white teeth.
Anthony carefully examined her as she feign from his sight. Could it have been she doesn't remember him?
How long was he gone that she forgot him already?

“I do not think, I know you. ” Her response came as a shock to him and he shakes his tie and coughs awkwardly.

“I am Anthony. ” He shoved the thought of making her recall him away. “You seem to be in a hurry somewhere and your car........”
He pointed to her badly damaged car.

“Oh, that! ” Her mind raced back to her missing son and she checks her watch. It remained fifty minutes left to two hours to find her son.

“Help me please. Save my son.” She broke into tears and fell into his arms. His strong arms held her close to his chest.

“Vivian, drive the car ” He lifted Olivia from her legs and carried her into the car.

“What happened to him? stop crying, please!” He wiped her tears away from her little eyes with a napkin.

“My husband has him in his clutches and his safety is not guaranteed ” She sniffed out into the napkin.
She explained how she came to his school and he was declared gone.

“He did?” His grip on her shoulders became tighter. He could not believe the kind of relationship his woman got into at such early age.
Although, years passed after they saw each other yet, Anthony could not take his attention off from her activities.
He was well aware of her sufferings and harsh treatment from her husband and gave her his sympathy.

“Vivian put a call through my cousin. Tell him to get his forces ready ” He coldly said and Vivian dials his number.
Meanwhile.
Ray's private phone line rang multiple times until he picked it up. At first, he did not expect any caller from this line seeing it is his private line and only a few people close to him knew about such line.

“Ray, it is me, your cousin,” The caller said and Ray rose.
His cousin? That human was nothing but a tease. He straightened his neck and replied.

“What do you need?”

“I got into some recent trouble and I need your help. Call me your men ”

“What did you do?”

“I will explain when we meet ” He cut the call when Ray finally agreed to lend him his entire force.
In California, the military services could only be called upon by the royal family or the elites.
Moreover, they were cousins, Armis's ranked fourth, and hence, their powers were limited compared to the Hudston's who had full authority in the city.

A few Minutes Later.
“His location has been spotted. He is an isolated building ” The leader responded as they drove quickly to the place.
Their car stopped at the entrance and the door opened.

“Thank you so much. I can continue from here ” She twisted her neck and her fingers.
Anyone who dared mess with her son knew the following results.

“It could be dangerous. Let me go with you ” He held her waist and pulled her back in.

“You have done so much for me. If you keep insisting, I might break one of your bones ”
Anthony released his drag on her waist and coughed slightly. He was not afraid of her threats but her ability.
From his collection of information, this young feeble woman herself is a black felt master in martial art and therefore, would not make such a joke in breaking his bones.

“That is no way to talk to someone who wants to help ” He pouts his lips and led her into the building. “Be on the watch, if he tries to escape, then catch him ”
Olivia ran through the stairs, jumping four stairs at the same time. She cared less about the injuries she incurred while jumping and focused her mind on one thing.
PROTECTING HER SON.
At last, she got to the last stairs and broke down the door. In the room, the little boy was tied to a table with his mouth closed up with tape.
She grinned in anger at the way he treated her son, his blood.

“You finally arrived but very late!” He cackled and with a knife in his left arm, he walked forward to Olivia.
