A Bumpy Road to Power

"Let's chase after them."

After listening to the driver.

The woman suggested to Dirk Carter.

Dirk Carter didn't pay her any attention but stood beside the road, flipping through the cell phone Mona left behind.

He still felt that Mona throwing the phone into the taxi at the last minute must have had a reason.

"Hey, what are you doing? You're the one who chased them out, and now you don't want to find them. If nothing else works, you have to call the police. Your friend has been kidnapped, don't you care?"

The woman stood in front of Dirk Carter, speaking in a scolding tone.

Dirk Carter looked up at the woman whose face showed the wear and tear of the journey, and asked, "What's your name?"

The woman paused for a moment.

She said, "You can call me Shara."

"Alright, Ms. Shara, Miss Shara, please be quiet. I need to think."

Dirk Carter said solemnly.

"Think? Think my ass. I don't think you want to save anyone. It's just unfortunate that the last call that woman made was to you. Tsk, tsk, what bad luck she had."

Shara said in a sarcastic tone.

Dirk Carter snorted coldly, "If Mona hadn't been driven away by you, she wouldn't have been kidnapped now, right?"

As soon as he said this.

Shara was stunned.

Whatever words stuck at her lips vanished completely, and she couldn't say anything.

She turned back to the small electric scooter and sat down, a look of silent anger on her face.

Dirk Carter didn't have the leisure to pay her any mind.

At this moment, he found some clues on Mona's phone.

The first was the call log.

Since yesterday midnight till today, Mona had called someone named Braulio Golding many times.

But none of the calls connected.

Finding the texts, Dirk Carter finally felt relieved.

Though the calls didn't go through, she and Braulio Golding exchanged many text messages.

The earliest message was sent to Mona's phone this afternoon, only two words: "Are you there?"

Mona: "What's up? Why aren't you answering the phone?"

Braulio Golding: "I can't take calls right now; I'm in Majestic Peak Town. I've made a new discovery. I think you need to come quickly."

Mona: "Okay, I'm heading over now. How should I contact you once I arrive?"

Braulio Golding: "I'll reach out to you."

And these were just a few text exchanges; after that, no one replied.

But the texts clearly mentioned Majestic Peak Town, so why did Mona come to Silverwood City?

Could it be that Majestic Peak Town is actually in Silverwood City?

Holding the phone, Dirk Carter walked up to Shara and asked, "Let me ask you, is there a place called Majestic Peak Town in Silverwood City?"

Shara had been wallowing in self-pity.

Upon hearing Dirk Carter's question, she was taken aback, "Majestic Peak Town? It's in the northeast..."

Northeast?

Isn't that the direction the taxi driver just mentioned?

It turned out Majestic Peak Town was indeed in Silverwood City.

"What's special about Majestic Peak Town?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Shara pondered a moment.

She said, "Majestic Peak Town is quite famous in Silverwood City..."

Majestic Peak Town belongs to Greshire County in Silverwood City and borders the Riverwood District.

Don't underestimate Majestic Peak Town as just a town.

Its economic level is quite high.

The town has over 500 types of businesses, and last year's industrial output alone reached over 26 billion yuan, making it a famous industrial and commercial town in Greshire County; even within Silverwood City, it's a standout presence.

"Is the building in this photo from Majestic Peak Town?"

Dirk Carter showed Mona's phone to Shara.

Shara took a good look.

She said, "Yes, it's Majestic Peak Town, the Majestic Peak Town Grand Theater, a very famous theater in Silverwood City."

This photo was found by Dirk Carter in Mona's phone album.

It's also the most recent photo, taken four or five days ago.

"Why is there a picture of the Grand Theater?"

Dirk Carter murmured.

Shara said, "Perhaps you don't know, Majestic Peak Town has a famous mountain, a 5A-level scenic spot called Majestic Mountain. The Majestic Mountain tourist area has a singing and dancing program called 'Immortal Tour Majestic,' performed by the Majestic Peak Town Song and Dance troupe, and the Grand Theater is where the troupe usually rehearses."

With this said.

Dirk Carter understood.

However, he had no evidence to suggest Mona's disappearance was linked to this Grand Theater.

But one thing was certain, Mona was definitely kidnapped by people from Majestic Peak Town.

"Let's go to Majestic Peak Town."

Dirk Carter said to Shara.

"Just the two of us?"

Shara asked in surprise.

Dirk Carter retorted, "Otherwise?"

"Call the police; since it's kidnapping, you definitely need to call the police."

Shara asked incredulously.

Dirk Carter paused and said, "If we need to call the police, then her parents will do so. Let's go check out the situation first."

The reason for this was.

Dirk Carter had his own considerations.

If Mona's kidnapping is related to Alexander Camden.

The kidnappers will naturally contact Alexander Camden.

If the kidnapping is only related to Mona herself.

Calling the police might alert them and have a negative impact on Mona.

But that's not the most important thing.

Earlier in Willow Lane, Dirk Carter had suspected they were being followed and it was linked to Brynn Quincy.

Now Brynn Quincy has also been "kidnapped," and his father is the deputy secretary of Silverwood City. If something truly needs to be done, even calling the police won't help, as Lane Quincy is the third in command in Silverwood City and a veteran of the legal system.

About fifteen minutes later.

The two got off the car in Majestic Peak Town district.

Surprisingly.

It was already 7:30 in the evening.

The bustling level of Majestic Peak Town district was far higher than the urban district they just passed.

Cars flowed like rivers on the streets, neon lights glittering.

Someone unaware would think this was the city center of Silverwood City.

"How do we search this big Majestic Peak Town?"

Looking at the throngs of people, Shara asked with a bit of pessimism.

Dirk Carter thought for a moment and said, "Didn't the taxi driver just give us the license plate number of the kidnapping car? Since Mona's photo showed the Majestic Peak Town Grand Theater, let's start by checking there."

"That's all we can do."

Shara said dejectedly.

In her view, Dirk Carter's actions were nothing but futile efforts.

At this moment.

In a pitch-dark room.

Though nothing could be seen, Brynn Quincy's trembling voice could clearly be heard.

"Mona, what are we going to do, what are we going to do, why would they kidnap us, we're doomed today, we're doomed..."

All these were desperate "cries."

"Shut up, can you be quiet for a moment?"

Conversely, Mona's voice remained relatively calm.

"How can I stay calm? Can't you see we've been kidnapped? If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come to Silverwood City. I shouldn't have listened to my mom..."

Brynn Quincy lamented sorrowfully.
