Chapter 270 By Then, I Hope She Is Still Alive
Just by seeing the caller ID, Paige knew something good was coming. She signaled to everyone that she had a call, then headed upstairs while answering.
On the other end, Quentin Lewis greeted her respectfully, "Ms. Ellison."
Paige got straight to the point, "Did you find her?"
Before she could finish, she heard the sound of a fist hitting flesh. A familiar voice screamed, "Please, stop hitting me."
That voice was unmistakable to Paige. It was Xena, the one who wasn't Luna's real daughter and the one who poisoned Luna to death. Hearing that voice made Paige's whole body tense up for a few seconds.
That bitch Xena, the murderer, was finally caught!
Quentin's voice came back, "Ms. Ellison, what do you want us to do next? Just say the word."
Xena was barely able to breathe, taking a few deep breaths to recover from the beating.
Paige steadied herself and asked, "Can you handle her while keeping an eye on her in Northern Country?"
Quentin's voice was rough but confident, "Absolutely. With enough mercenaries and influence here, everyone has to respect me. Ms. Ellison, whatever you need, just let me know. No matter how tough, I'll handle it for you."
Paige took a deep breath and closed her eyes, remembering three years ago when she was released from prison for a mission in Northern Country. Back then, she didn't know who Quentin was. She found him barely alive in a sea of corpses and blood and used all her medical skills to save him.
Just as she was about to head back to prison, she learned Quentin had been in a deadly fight over territory and business. His rival was killed, and Quentin was saved by Paige.
Since then, Quentin had become a major player in Northern Country. Paige never expected anything in return from him. But this time, she was worried Xena would escape to another country, so she reached out to Quentin last night.
Quentin acted quickly, and Xena was soon in his hands.
Paige was silent for a minute, and Quentin waited patiently on the other end. After the silence, Paige spoke, "She killed the most important person in my life. Over the next two weeks, I want her to experience every ounce of agony in Northern Country. Quentin, I want you to drag her through all the hellholes in Northern Country like a kite. I'll be at the border in two weeks, but I want her to be alive by then!"
