Chapter 184 A Bounty
In the wilderness, a village could be seen some distance away. There were no surveillance cameras in the secluded area.
Arissa, you better hide well.
After determining the direction, Benjamin continued the chase and commanded the bodyguards to extend the search range.
He had numerous methods to find Arissa and the kids as long as they did not go abroad.
Nonetheless, there were still ways to find them even if they did, but it would be more time-consuming.
At present, Arissa, who was dozens of kilometers away from Benjamin, let out a sigh of relief.
“How long will it take for us to get to Lightspring, Bradley?”
Bradley checked the distance and replied, “Hm… About an hour, if we’re fast.”
Arissa nodded and uttered, “We can have a meal there. After that, we shall continue our journey.”
They needed to get away as far as possible. Otherwise, Benjamin could easily capture them.
After arriving at Lightspring, Arissa examined the surrounding towns and eventually picked a quaint one. They skipped the dazzling shops and chose to eat at a plain-looking restaurant.
“Mommy! The evil woman, Danna, has been captured!” Jasper spoke in excitement upon seeing the entertainment news at the restaurant.
Arissa and the kids turned to take a look at the television. Indeed, the news reporter was announcing the incident.
Arissa’s forehead creased as questions popped inside her mind. Danna has been captured? Is Benjamin behind this?
The entertainment news ended shortly, and a broadcast appeared on the screen.
“Dear audiences, please be aware that the son of the CEO of Graham Group has been abducted. If you have any information or clues, do contact the police immediately! Ten million will be awarded if the child is found!”
Then, two portraits appeared on the screen. Other than Gavin’s, Arissa’s photo was also posted.
She was completely dumbfounded. What the hell! Benjamin offered a bounty to find us! Now I’ve become a human trafficker? Am I currently wanted by the police? What a cunning man!
The kids were confused at first. Soon, they were pissed.
How sly!
As for Bradley, he was shocked by the broadcast. Then, he noticed people in the restaurant were getting into heated discussions about the situation.
He whispered to Arissa, “Boss, why don’t we leave now?”
After all, it was too eye-catching for them to be with five children. When they first came in, people were already staring.
Just then, the restaurant owner, Nina Binder, approached them to take their order. “What would you like to have today?”
She was stunned upon seeing the five kids. Their faces seemed familiar.
Suddenly, she recalled the broadcast. On the next second, her eyes lit up.
Arissa’s heart skipped a beat.
“I would like to order a plate of spaghetti first. We are still deciding on the others.”
Nina peered at her and nodded. She did not dare to question them. “Okay. Please wait for a moment.”
As soon as she left the table, Nina contacted the police.
Realizing that, Arissa and Bradley exchanged looks. In the blink of an eye, they got up and escaped the restaurant, along with the kids.
Nina shouted, “Hey! Stop! They’re the human traffickers! One of the kids appeared on the news just now!”
Immediately, the customers got up from their seats and chased after them.
Bradley hurriedly started the car engine and drove off. He continued stepping on the accelerator, going as fast as he could.
What’s going on? There are still people behind us!
Everyone was persistent in capturing them. After all, ten million was a large sum of money.
Furthermore, all of them had a sense of justice due to their hatred for human trafficking.
Arissa, Bradley, and the kids were down to their nerves after getting rid of the people that were trailing behind them. It was an hour later when the police arrived at Lightspring, leaving them no choice but to head to another city.
“Bradley, we have to leave Lightspring at once! Take the shortcut!” Arissa ordered.
“Got it!”
After successfully getting out of Lightspring undetected, the group was exhausted and famished when they arrived at a new place.
Bradley went to buy some food, whereas Arissa stayed with the kids, afraid that someone might recognize Gavin if they were to head out together.
“Where are we, Mommy?”
Arriving at a farmhouse, Gavin was amazed by the scenic view of the mountains and rivers.
“This is our home!”
Jasper remembered the house from the photo. He was the first to rush inside.
Gavin was surprised.
Arissa patted his head and said, “We are home now. Let’s head in!”
“Wow! Finally!”
Gavin followed his younger brothers and ran inside.
The kids were overjoyed yet overwhelmed with curiosity. They began running around to explore the place.
