Zayne spoke with a chilling tone: “Don’t fret. If everything you said is true, just keep it to yourself. I won’t allow him to escape, but if we, as father and son, are going to confront him, we need to strategize and think this through carefully. Acting impulsively could jeopardize our chance to avenge your mother and sister.”


    Fitz fell silent for a moment before responding with frustration: “Dad, I understand…” His voice trembled as he continued, “Dad! When are youing back?! I really don’t know what to do right now…”


    Zayne let out a sigh and replied, “I can’t return at this moment. It takes over ten hours to fly back to Eastcliff from here. If I leave, your grandfather will find out immediately. Chances are, I’d be intercepted by the Banks Family as soon as Ind, possibly sent back to Australia, or worse, ced under house arrest by them…”


    Fitz, feeling desperate, asked, “Dad… I should know how to handle this… I want to go to Aurous Hill and find them… I know they’re unounted for, but there might still be a chance for them to survive…”<fn5ecb> This text is hosted at Find[?]ovel</fn5ecb>


    Zayne contemted for a moment and suggested, “In that case, don’t go to the airport. Just drive straight to Aurous Hill on the expressway.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    After a moment of thought, Zayne added, “From Eastcliff to Aurous Hill, it’s about 1000 kilometers on the expressway. If you drive fast, you could make it there in roughly 10 hours.”


    Fitz eximed, “Okay, Dad! I’ll drive directly to Aurous Hill!”


    Zayne cautioned him, “When you head to Aurous Hill, you must keep a low profile. Avoid using any resources from the Banks Family because if they discover you’re there, they will definitelye after you.”


    Fitz was taken aback, “Dad, how am I supposed to find Mom and Zara without the Banks Family’s resources?”


    Zayne replied helplessly, “You’ll need to rely on yourself. Other people can’t be trusted.” He then warned, “Also, I heard that your grandfather has sent your second uncle to Aurous Hill. He’ll likely take a ne and should arrive within two or three hours. Be cautious once you reach Aurous Hill!”


    Feeling overwhelmed, Fitz choked back tears and asked, “Dad… do you think Mom and Zara are still alive?”


    After a tense silence on the other end for about ten seconds, Zayne responded, “Fitz, as long as we don’t have definitive answers, we must hold onto hope.”


    He continued, “However, you need to prepare yourself for the worst possible oue!”


    Fitz replied earnestly, “Dad, I understand!”


    …


    As Fitz sped toward Aurous Hill, the Banks family’s crisis public rtions response was already in full swing. The media was aze with various narratives online. While opinions differed, the overarching theme was that the Banks Family were the victims, alleging that someone else was responsible for the kidnapping of Deana and Zara.


    More than two hourster, James’s private jet touched down on the main runway of Aurous Hill International Airport. Coincidentally, another private nended almost simultaneously on the second runway.


    This second jet had flown in from New York, USA, for over ten hours. Uponnding, it was directed to park in the private jet area. Interestingly, this ne parked right next to James’s jet. As the cabin door of the American ne opened, a Jewish man in his fifties stepped out onto the spiral staircase.


    He paused momentarily, scanning the surroundings, and softly murmured: “Walter, my son, I’ming for you. I will bring you home!”
