Chapter 256: Woman In Black

Grady looked at the ginseng doll who was fast asleep.

"Leave it to Boyd, he is good at cooking."

Boyd looked at his friend who told him to cook it. For him, killing was easy, but cooking? Did they want him to poison them?

"Hey, I'm afraid that the effect of extending its life will disappear if we cook it," one of them voiced his opinion. "How about we eat it raw?"

Raw?

Everyone looked confused, but it also made a lot of sense.

They immediately took out their knives and took out a ruler, so they could cut it evenly. The ginseng doll was completely unaware that her life was in danger, but suddenly she sneezed and was terrified when she saw the knife that was aimed at her.

"Since you are the one who accepted this job, please try it first," his friend gave Grady a knife. "Remember don't cut too much, we still need to deceive our clients first,"

Boyd looked impatient from standing next to Grady, high-class food like this was a once in a lifetime opportunity. However, when Grady was about to cut the ginseng doll's leg, the door to their room was suddenly smashed.

DUAK!

The door just bounced off and when they all turned their heads, a male figure walked in.

"Tired of living and looking for a way to die, aren't you?"

Some of them immediately surrounded Ryan. This was the first time anyone dared to fight them.

Beleaguered, Ryan stared at the tied ginseng doll, and now he was really angry.

Looking to die?

'You all are the ones looking to die!'

Seeing Ryan's terrifying expression, they all shuddered. They all knew that Ryan came to snatch the creature they had stolen. Without warning, Grady and his friends pulled out their guns and aimed at Ryan.

With a gun in hand, why would they be afraid? In an instant, their fear disappeared.

"Your history has…." When one of them started talking arrogantly, Ryan was already moving like the wind and beat the man so that he hit the wall.

His other friends immediately adjusted their shot but they couldn't find Ryan's figure. Suddenly, one of them was hit in the face by an elbow strike. Three of his teeth fell out immediately.

Ryan did not stay silent, he immediately jumped and threw a kick at his other enemy. 

In an instant, his foes were lying unconscious. This situation made Boyd and Grady scared. When their last friend was knocked unconscious by Ryan, the two of them were already breaking out in cold sweat. Their hands trembled as they tried to hold the gun and didn't know where to aim.

Ryan walked slowly towards Boyd, and in an instant, the sound of gunfire could be heard.

DOR!

However, it was Boyd who fell down because of the blow to his face and the bullet did not graze Ryan's shirt at all.

Grady began to contemplate this incident in his mind. His client said it was easy but now he regretted accepting this job. Indeed, a huge amount of money was promised to him but if he died then all the money would be wasted.

Damn, he was totally blinded by money. He shouldn't just accept this job and investigate it first.

"Take whatever you want, but don't kill me. I promise we won't bother you again!" Grady was sweating profusely.

His life experience said that the person in front of him was not just anyone. If he touched him even the slightest, he would lose his life in the next second.

"Who sent you?" Ryan asked.

"A woman dressed all in black. She came over last night and gave me a big reward for kidnapping that strange thing," Grady said without hiding anything.

"And what are the characteristics of that person?" Ryan continued asking.

"We met in a very dark alley, I couldn't see her face. I only know that she was a woman and I didn't care about the rest as long as she could afford my service." 

A woman?

Hearing this made Ryan frown. He felt that he hadn't offended a woman lately. Moreover, that woman knew how to catch a ginseng doll that even his grandfather didn't know.

Ryan was lost in thought but suddenly, the ginseng screamed. When he turned his head, Ryan saw a figure who was holding the ginseng doll tightly in his hand jumping down from the window.

No...!

Ryan's heart clenched, he immediately jumped down without noticing Grady and his gang anymore.

In an instant, the hotel room became silent. If only it weren't for his friends' bodies, Grady might have thought that today was just a bad dream.

It terrified him when he realized that they were on the 8th floor. He saw two people jump down without any hesitation.

After he woke up from his reverie, Grady realized that he had wet the bed. Such people were on a completely different level. It looked like he should retire and do some lawful work.

On the other hand, Ryan and the figure of the kidnapper landed. A chase immediately ensued between the two. The pedestrians below were shocked when they saw something falling in front of them.

The kidnapper in black landed violently under the gaze of the passersby then dashed away from them.

What was going on?

Did that person just jump off the building?

The pedestrians were speechless, but a second later, someone fell back from above.

DUAK!

The ground immediately felt shaking, then that person's figure quickly caught up with the person in black before.

They all wondered in their hearts, was it a Parkour season now?

An old woman took off her glasses and rubbed them hard, unable to believe what she saw. A young man also shook his head, it seemed like he didn't get enough sleep last night to have hallucinations like this in broad daylight. 

Dream, yes this must all be a dream.

On the other hand, Ryan pursued the kidnapper tightly. However, he chased him in a shopping area so there were many buildings and the street was pretty busy. After 7 turns, Ryan lost track of the kidnapper.

Standing in the middle of the street, Ryan watched everyone passing by, frowning. He knew that he had lost track of the culprit.

The kidnapper had planned everything well, it seemed like he had planned his escape route a long time ago. They took advantage of this crowd and blended in. Ryan could not feel any profound inner energy, it was impossible for him to find them.

Annoyed, Ryan could only give up this time. However, there was still one way that's worth trying.

Ryan took out his cell phone and called Christa.

Before long, Christa's soft voice could be heard.

"Brother Ryan!"

Her voice sounded happy but contained a hint of anger, the man had never contacted her all this time.

"Christa, are you busy? If not, please help me find someone."

It's rare to hear her brother ask for help, but Christa immediately agreed. "All right, please tell me the problem."

Ryan then told everything that had happened. After understanding the problem, Christa immediately said, "Fine, I will ask Alkonost Ordo to investigate it. I'll let you know after getting the results,"

Ryan then felt relieved in his heart. Christa was really reliable.

The two of them chatted for a while then ended their call. Christa left her current job and contacted Elizabeth

Ryan then went to check on Kane's condition. The effects of the anesthetic should have disappeared by this time. When he opened the door to the guy's room, he found Kane sitting with a sad expression. Ryan consoled him and promised to bring back the ginseng doll in a few days.

After entertaining Kane for a while, Ryan then went home and headed for his house.

At home, Ryan sat on the sofa alone and tried to understand this incident. When he returned from Japan, someone suddenly attacked and kidnapped the ginseng doll. It was certain that this incident was planned in advance, but the problem was, who could've done it?

His frown got even deeper, he didn't even think someone would be able to kidnap the doll. If the opponent was some kind of mafia or ordinary thug, then that ginseng doll could not possibly be caught. The problem was, his opponent this time knew a secret way to catch the ginseng doll that even his grandfather didn't know.

After thinking hard for a while, Ryan shook his head. It's a waste of energy thinking out loud like this. He could only hope for the Alkonost Ordo as a Crimean secret organization with intelligence capabilities equivalent to his to investigate it soon. There should be no problem for them but what matters most for him now was when the information would come.

At this time, the door to his house suddenly opened. Ryan turned and saw that Irina had come home.
