Chapter 2023

Maisie took a deep breath to calm herself down and asked, “So, did you manage to find him?” Colton
fell silent for a while before replying, “Not yet.” “Alright. I‘ll go get your sister later. As for Nollace, since
he‘s your brother–in–law, I don‘t care if he‘s alive or dead or if he‘s maimed or still intact. You need to
get him back, understand?”

Maisie hung up the call after she finished her sentence. Saydie was sitting opposite her, so she heard
her conversation with Colton. “Ma‘am, did something happen to Mr. Knowles?”

Maisie massaged her forehead and said, “I‘ve been wondering why they refuse to make their
relationship public after getting their marriage certificate. It turns out that it‘s because of Donald. I didn‘t
expect Nollace to go to the extent of risking his own life for Daisie‘s safety.”

She felt that Nollace was very similar to Nolan back then.

She had full faith in Nollace‘s ability, and it was true that she felt assured of entrusting Daisie to him.
However, it was never in her wildest dream that Nollace would risk his own life this way. If something
happened to him, the one who would suffer would be Daisie. Saydie narrowed her eyes and said, “I
heard of Donald when I was working under Strix. He‘s a vengeful and cruel person. Once he has set
his eyes on something, he will stop at nothing to get it.”

Maisie looked at her and asked, “Aren’t you and Quincy going to Morwich with my godfather? Why did
you guys come back so early?”

Strix‘s health had deteriorated greatly throughout the years. Strix had helped Saydie a lot in the past,
so she resigned to take care of him.



Quincy had been rushing here and there, taking care of the company since Colton had not returned to
Zlokova yet three years ago. It was only after Colton took over the company that he left for Morwich to
look for Saydie.

Saydie put down the cup and smiled. “Strix has sent me on an assignment to the East Islands.”

Maisie was stunned. “My godfather asked you to go there?”

She nodded. “Metropolis has been in an unstable state while Strix is away to recuperate from his
illness. Some ambitious members even have started to make their movements as they want to seize
Strix‘s position and assets. Strix‘s monopoly business in Morwich has left him with huge assets, and it‘s
a huge pie that anyone would like to take a bite of. If Strix has an accident, Metropolis will be torn
apart.” Maisie frowned. Strix‘s group was the largest in North Ancora. He did not have any children in
his life, so many people were interested in his position and his huge fortune.

After all, no one could resist such a big pie. Maisie picked up her cup and asked, “There are other
forces targeting Metropolis?” Saydie sighed. “The Skull Club, some forces in Ora, and some of the
underground gangs in the

East Islands. Therefore, Strix wants me to bring a secret document and go to the East Islands to look
for Sunny Southern. The influence of Mr. Southern‘s group in East Eurasia matches that of the
underground gangs in Ora. If Metropolis can form an alliance with Mr. Southern, it can deter them.”
Sunny Southern and Fabio Puzo each occupied half of the East Islands. They had a clear separation of
territory and management. Neither of them could interfere with each other‘s ? power easily, and they
were relatively wary of each other. Besides, it was rumored that the Southerns were filled with combat
specialists, and the men working under Sunny were all very good in combat.

Unlike Fabio, who acted in a high–profile manner in Ora, the Southerns were very low–key, and their
power was spread all over East Eurasia.



Some members were normal businessmen, while the others were fishermen, restaurant owners, and
cab drivers. The Southerns did not engage in usury or illegal business. However, they were even more
terrifying than those people in Ora.
