If Alyssa found out that Inigo had appeared, she would rush over to catch him, regardless of anything.
How could this wild filly be left without someone to restrain her?
“How did you find out, Colene? Who tipped you off?” Alyssa’s heart was pounding with excitement and astonishment.
“It’s Nathan, my dad’s adopted son.”
Jeremy looked puzzled and asked softly, “Who’s Nathan?”
Alyssa’s eyes brightened as she enthusiastically introduced him. “He’s the one who fed Simon the feces. Technically, I should call him Uncle Nathan.”
Jeremy’s eyes lit up. He formed the impression that Nathan was a remarkable man.
“I asked him to gather all his men and circulate Inigo’s photo so that Solana City’s underworld could search for him.” Colene’s voice trembled with excitement. “I was just thinking of trying my luck. Who would have thought we’d really find him?”
Alyssa had discussed this matter with Mandy and Colene before at home. At the time, Colene had inquired in detail and even took Inigo’s photo.
Alyssa thought Colene was just curious at the time, but she didn’t expect Colene to act on it. She actually mobilized people to search for Inigo and actually found him.
“Colene, where did they meet Inigo? And where is he now? They haven’t lost track of him, have they?”
Alyssa asked anxiously, tightly holding Jeremy’s hand.
“Inigo and his men went to an underground black market in Solana City to buy smuggled gold watches and chains. Nathan didn’t have time to investigate the specifics.”
Solana City’s underground black market?
Alyssa was considered well-networked among the riches, but she had never heard of such a place.
What was more, even Jeremy, a local from Solana City, had never heard of it either.
“Right. Inigo is an internationally wanted criminal now. The Walsh’s, the Harpers, and the police are all looking for him. He’s like a rat in the gutter. Where else can he go besides such places?”
Cyrus couldn’t help but sigh. “The Ivory Gang is truly the number one gang in Solana City. They’re practically an intelligence network underground.”
Jeremy pursed his lips admiringly but also felt deeply ashamed.
He and Landon had been investigating for so many days. They had nearly caught Inigo that one time, but he slipped away, and they suffered heavy losses in the end.
In the end, it was Alyssa’s family who helped her.
Alyssa was already strong on her own, but she had the backing of a rich father, brothers with various talents, a sister who held the position of Madam President, and the daughter of the Ivory Gang’s leader to support her.
All those undoubtedly made her more powerful. They really left him with no opportunity to help her.
“Inigo took the risk to go to the black market to buy these things to exchange all the money he had for valuable hard currency. He might be leaving the country soon.”
Alyssa suddenly turned anxious, and it showed in her voice. “Colene, you must inform Uncle Nathan¡ª”
“Uncle Nathan? He’s not worthy to be your uncle. Just call him Nathan.” Colene treated Alyssa like a princess. Nathan wasn’t fit to be her uncle even if he became the leader of the Ivory Gang someday.
Alyssa ignored the details and focused on arranging the deployment. “You must tell him not to alert
Inigo, let alone confront him, just because he has people.
“Every one of Inigo’s men is a ruthless mercenary with heavy weapons. The Harper family suffered a big loss last time. You must not let your family go through the danger.”
“I know. Nathan isn’t that reckless. He knows what to do.”
Colene quickly responded, “I’ll have him closely monitor Inigo. If there’s any new information, I’ll contact you right away. By the way, let Jeremy, Landon, and Cyrus handle this.
“Don’t get too worked up and go there yourself. We’re old now. We have weak hearts, and your dad even had a stroke. If you don’t want to come back and find us dead, just stay out of it.”
Suddenly, Colene shouted, “Do you hear me, Jeremy?”
Jeremy hurriedly sat up straight. “Yes, I’m here.”
“Control your woman a little. Don’t let her act recklessly.”
Although Colene didn’t sound friendly, her words were filled with concern. “If anything happens to Lyse, the Ivory Gang won’t let you off.”
Alyssa felt speechless at her words. This daughter of the Ivory Gang’s leader was quite domineering.
Cyrus chuckled and shook his head while Xavier truly felt nervous for Jeremy.
Jeremy wrapped his hand around Alyssa’s waist and exerted force, giving her a sense of security.
“Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll protect Lyse with all my might. Please rest assured.”
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the car quieted down.
Mom?
Even Alyssa usually only addressed Colene by her name, but Jeremy actually called her “Mom” in one fell swoop.
He actually mastered seizing opportunities to act cute.
The other end of the phone suddenly went silent, and then Colene shouted, “You brat, who do you think you’re calling mom? Get lost!”
That night, Inigo had decided to leave Solana City. Before leaving, he naturally had to convert the money here into gold. After all, these banknotes would be useless once he crossed the border, but gold would always hold its value.
Just as he was about to leave the black market happily and ready to go to the designated location to pick up the money, he received a call from Jameson.
“Don’t come over here yet. I’ve changed the location of the money.”
“Damn it, Jameson! Are you tricking me? Did you really prepare the money?” Inigo cursed loudly, completely losing his patience.
“Tricking you?” Jameson let out a chilling laugh. “That little money isn’t even enough for me to have a meal. Do you think I’d bother to trick you?
“You should know how much profit you have made from me over the years. It should be much more than this little amount, right?”
Inigo gritted his teeth. “Then why change the location?
“You’ve been tracked.”
“What? No way!”
“You were already being watched when you were at the black market. You thought no one would notice you among the crowds, but there are gang members everywhere in the black market.”
Jameson continued, “Alyssa’s family is related to the Ivory Gang, the largest gang in Solana City. Once their people spot you, do you think you can still hide?”
Inigo, being a foreigner, naturally didn’t know how powerful the Ivory Gang’s influence was in Solana
City’s underworld.
They were literally everywhere.
“Damn it! I don’t care about any gangs. Even the Harpers were nothing to me. If they want to come to me, let them be.” Inigo’s face was ferocious.
“Well, it seems like you really don’t want to leave.”
Jameson’s tone turned cold. It was as if a sharp knife was being pressed against Inigo’s neck. “You’re now an internationally wanted criminal. I’m sure the police have already traced you. If you don’t do as I say, you might regret it forever.”
Inigo had had enough of Jameson’s control over him.
But being stranded in a foreign country, he had no choice but to rely on Jameson to get him out. Still, he couldn’t help but retort, “Hmph! You’d better not be playing any tricks!”
Inigo continued, “If I get caught, I’ll expose all the dirty things you’ve done over the years. I’ll let Ms.
Alyssa see the ugly side of her childhood friend!”
Jameson smiled mockingly as he knew Inigo wouldn’t have the chance to report on him.
“How do you plan to give me the money?” Inigo’s mind was all wrapped up in his funds.
“Follow the route I tell you to take now. I’ll arrange for people to cover you and help you escape. As for the money, I’ll put it on the plane. After you escape, quickly board the plane. It’ll take off immediately, and you can successfully leave Solana City.”
