Chapter 436: The Ghost of the Past (3)

“Falcon, in position”

“Groundhog, in position”

“Peacock, in position”

“Stop changing your codename name Peacock, I mean Sparrow! Dammit!”

“Peacocks are beautiful sir, just like me”

“Stop messing around!”

The gay-ish voice of a man came from the radio, and the person on the receiving end was clearly annoyed, but he just took a deep breath and ignored him as tonight would be a busy night for them as they have a dangerous operation involving the life a kid.

“That damn kid”

The dark skinned police captain was annoyed as he felt that the gay officer is not taking things seriously, but at the same time, he also feels helpless as he really can’t reprimand him as he or she is also one best officers in their station despite his or her flaws.

On that same day, the negotiation between the kidnappers and Olivia took place, and Central Park was the place where the exchange between parties will be taking place.

“Pay attention, I want tonight’s operation to go smoothly” said the Police Captain on the radio.

“Roger”

“Copy that”

Everyone cleared any distracting thoughts in their minds while waiting for their targets to appear. They didn’t want any variables to happen when it involved a kid of an authoritative person, so almost all available officers were mobilized for this operation, from road blockage to helicopter on stand by, everyone was ready.

There were also police officers in disguise who had already mingled among the civilians hanging out at the park. Around this time, the park tends to be really crowded, allowing them to blend well, but this situation would also be disadvantageous to them as the criminals would easily escape if chaos ensues.

That’s the reason why everyone heightened their awareness of their surroundings, locking on anyone acting suspiciously.

While the authorities are on the move, Olivia’s ex-husband and his accomplices were also not idling around as they were preparing their own plans as their people had appeared from various parts of the city, watching the movements of the police that were out in the open.

Surprisingly though, the operation seems to be so confidential that there aren’t even news reports about it.

Back at the cabin in the mountains near Central City.

“Alright, then stay put in your positions and don’t do anything”

A man with a ponytail and in a suit was replying to the multiple reports that’s coming from their men, then he turned his attention to the mastermind behind this kidnapping and said something.

“Sir, our men had reported that the authorities had put checkpoints on every road leading outside the city, and our contacts in that place seemed to be helpless too as the police chief of the city is closely paying attention to this matter. It seems we can only go by air or through the sewers if we want to escape after entering the city”

The man in the white suit was clearly not bothered by the bad news as he just calmly sat there drinking his wine.

“It’s fine, as I didn’t order the kid to be kidnapped because of money, but because of that person. That man will surely appear to save the kid, so tell our men to pay attention to that man in the photo that we gave them, but tell them not to do anything rash by trying to engage him. Instead, they should quickly relay their location if they spotted him, so we can immediately begin the next phase of the plan”

Mr. Ponytail clearly had something to say as he hesitated there standing, but he wasn’t sure if he should go ahead and say something, or just forget about it, but clearly, his boss seems to have eyes on the back of his head and said, “If you have anything to say, then say it. After all, this might be the last time we’ll be seeing each other”

“Sir, that person is dangerous, we’re not even sure if his friends will help him tonight. Everyone, including me, has received help from your family during our darkest times, and everyone is ready to risk their life for you to accomplish what we need to do tonight, but…is this really worth it? The madam wanted to you live a normal and happy life instead of-”

“Don’t, I’ve already made up my mind Nash. I grew up with revenge and filial piety in my mind, and that’s what I ought to do tonight. Whether I’ll come back alive tonight or not, at least I can tell my father I tried”

His boss didn’t even let him finish what he wanted to say when he immediately interrupted him with resolute words that didn’t allow for any contradiction.

Nash wanted to advise him more, but he stopped and just sighed, thinking to himself, ‘You say filial piety, but what about your filial piety towards the words of the late madam?’

“Tell that bastard to ready himself, we’re moving out soon”

“Yes sir”

Ten minutes later, a convoy of multiple different cars left the cabin and made their way down the mountain.

During this time, another third party was also moving stealthily and making his own preparations.

“That bastard nephew of mine will certainly not make the exchange personally. Instead, he’d surely hand it to Olivia’s ex-husband to do the dirty work. I’ve even purposely revealed myself to one of his people on the way here, I just wonder how long he’ll take to find me before I kill…No, hmmmm… should I just take one of his ears as a warning and let him rot in jail instead? After all, that man is still the kids’ biological father, and killing him would certainly leave a bad taste. Olivia isn’t that dumb, and she’s already suspicious of me, and by the time she learns my dirty secrets, she’d clearly connect the dots and it would be a catastrophe for our relationship”

While having a monologue by himself, Randy suddenly felt that the words coming out of his mouth sounded absurd and he couldn’t help but laugh loudly.

“Hahaha, I think this will be a record! There hadn’t been any prey that I’ve set my eyes on that had walked out alive”
