Chapter 436 Making Room to Run
Who said anything about being that guy’s disciple? Thomas was stunned once more. Who are these people? Forget it. I’ll just listen to what they have to say for now.
Joseph nodded before he spoke weakly. “About a year ago, the organization began to receive orders to search for known physicists in every nation. Since it was just a search for some professionals, I got a few of the regular staff members to work on it. However, we didn’t get any positive responses until I received news about Timothy and Sasha. Things began to change then. We found out that there were at least two other groups of people who were looking for them.
It seemed like these two groups were pretty powerful people. So, I handed the job over to the mafia and got them to take charge of it. Xavier received news about Timothy before I fell into a coma. He proceeded to check on the situation, but our headquarters were invaded before I heard from him again. Someone attacked me after that, and I’ve been in a coma since.”
“So, there are now three groups of people going after Timothy and Sasha,” Elise uttered with a grim look on her face.
Joseph nodded. “You know how SK Group is. Once they start a mission, they don’t stop until they’re done.”
“I’ve logged on a few times in the past months, but I’ve never seen Xavier online. Could he have…?” Elise made a wild guess. The organization would assign search missions to its members from time to time, and some forces might have attempted to create diversions in order to capture SK Group’s people for their own use. They might have attempted to capture those who were carrying out the mission.
Considering that Xavier received the news after Timothy and Sasha had been off the radar for so long, it was possible that it was a trap, and Xavier might have fallen for it. “I can’t be sure either,” Joseph uttered with a solemn look. “If what you said is true, then it’s possible that things might be going smoothly for Xavier, but it might also be possible that something has happened to him. We’d have to take action to save him if that’s the case.”
Elise nodded in agreement. However, she had a few concerns regarding the matter. “How are we going to save him?” she mumbled to herself. The world was a large place, and they had to have some direction. They couldn’t just search for him blindly. She had a point—since SK Group’s headquarters had been overpowered by other forces, they had no means of obtaining information about Timothy and Sasha. If they made a move, they would be working without a solid plan, which would be a waste of time.
“I remember there was a location provided when Xavier last gave me an update. It indicated that Timothy and Sasha’s ancestors were in Lithium City.”
Lithium City? Isn’t that in the Northwest region? That’s where the Sinclair Family comes from. Elise thought about it for a long while. I’ve been gone for so long. Perhaps it’s time to head back to take a look.
