Chapter 693: WE DON’T SEE ANYTHING

Chapter 693: WE DON'T SEE ANYTHING

"Did you kidnap his son?" Damian asked, returning Jayden's gaze, if it was this boy, it had a good chance of happening and his guess wasn't too far off.

Meanwhile, Jayden showed an innocent look on his face when he answered that.

"I didn't kidnap him," he objected. "I just handcuffed him and told my men to take him to a more guarded place."

Wasn't that another definition of kidnapping?

"Jayden…" Damian took a deep breath when he heard that because Jayden didn't seem to understand this very well. "That's tantamount to kidnapping, okay?"

He knew that Jayden loved playing with words, but this time he really wanted to shake him up and force him to be more serious.

"Oh, that means the definition of kidnapping is different for both of us," Jayden said lightly. He didn't really care about that and Damian knew that arguing with Jayden wasn't going to help either of them. Jayden wouldn't change his opinion no matter what. He didn't have a way through which he could make this kid think otherwise either.

"Okay, but we have to face Theodore now." Damian then grabbed Jayden's shoulder roughly and it looked more like he was trying to dislocate it instead.

"It seems Mr. Tordoff is here," Adrian told them, after he received information from their people who were scattered in the port.

"I'm Mr. Tordoff," Jayden said pointing to himself and Damin hit him on the back hard enough to make him wince. He and his silly words, of course this man knew what Adrian meant. "Why is my father here?" Jayden asked, wincing in pain.

"Shouldn't you be the one asking your father that directly?" Damian said, if Ramon's arrival wasn't in the plan and he was suddenly here, of course that meant he came because he knew about this plan, therefore, it was certain that he kept this from Jayden.

It wasn't clear if it was intentional or not, but he knew it.

"Looks like I have to talk to my dad," Jayden muttered with a frown. "I told him to stay out of this."

Maybe this was one of those things that Jayden didn't often say to other people, or was known by many people, but he felt his father's reputation was widespread, which made him want to do this to prove himself and this of course became one of the motivations why Jayden wanted to solve his kidnapping case alone without anyone's help.

Therefore, he asked his father not to interfere and indeed, Ramon complied with the request.

And although this took years to be completed, Jayden managed to get it done in the end, didn't he? He was quite happy with the achievement, although perhaps if Ramon had stepped in, it would have been sooner.

"I guess your dad just wanted to celebrate this victory with you and talk things over with his old friend," Damian laughed and the two of them walked in the direction Adrian had pointed them, where Ramon and Theodore were now.

But, the first thing they saw was; Ramon hitting Theodore in the face that knocked the man off of his feet in a single blow.

Automatically, Damian and Jayden immediately stopped walking and blinked their eyes upon witnessing this.

"Hm... I guess dad doesn't just want to talk to his old friend," Jayden muttered. He grimaced when he saw his father's figure. Even after growing up like this and having witnessed many horrible and cruel things, Jayden still grimaced when he saw his father's cold expression.

"Well… I guess there's a lot that can't be put into words," Damian replied and Jayden nodded in agreement.

"I can't agree more with that," Jayden muttered.

======================

Apple listened to the latest report on last night's ambush with a much calmer face, albeit a little tired, since she hadn't slept all night.

"Hey, you've been up all night, shouldn't you be sleeping now? You better get some sleep, because if anything happens to you, Mr. Tordoff will be mad at both of us," Gabriel said in a worried voice. He didn't want anything to happen to Apple under their noses.

And in the distance, they could see that the sun had started to rise, illuminating the streets and now it was only Gabriel and Danny who looked a little scared when they saw Apple did not rest at all.

"Apple, go back to your house and sleep, what if something happens to you?" said Danny worriedly. "Now you already know that Mr. Tordoff is all right. So you don't have to worry about this anymore."

They had received news that the mission had been completed and this mission also involved Damian, Zia's husband, who was Hailee's cousin. Most of Jayden's mother's family were important members in the military, especially her grandfather.

"I think it'll be fine if you call Mr. Tordoff now, because he's safe too," Gabriel suggested when he saw Apple was still reluctant and wanted to hear more about the aftermath of the ambush.

But, on second thought, it didn't seem good for Apple to push herself like this, and besides, now that she didn't have just herself to think about. After all, she had to think about the baby in her womb too.

"Yeah, I'll be back…" Only, before Apple got out of the car, she turned her attention to Gabriel and Danny, grinning happily. "But, you guys have to take me to buy calamari first."

Gabriel and Danny could only shake their heads. What else could they do except comply with this pregnant woman's requests?

It was highly unlikely that they would refuse this request.

"Okay," said Gabriel. "But I'll go buy it, while Noah will watch over your house and you better go inside now."

"You really like delegating, it reminds me of Jayden." Apple folded her arms across her chest, staring fiercely at Gabriel.

But, after grumbling like that, Apple agreed and then got out of the car and went back into her house.

She would call Jayden while she waited for her calamari.

Now it was okay to call, right?

=========================

Ramon listened quietly to every dirty word that came out of Theodore's lips because he didn't want to cause unnecessary chaos. But, this man wouldn't let him say even a single word.

Theodore kept saying bad things about Jayden and as time went on, Ramon's patience ran thin and hearing how this man had endless things to accuse people with really stupid things really tested his patience.

"Your son is so ignorant! How could he meddle in other people's business like this! You have to teach him to mind his own business!" roared Theodore angrily. "You should be ashamed how your son became so unruly and became a failed businessman!"

Failed businessman?

Ramon didn't understand how Theodore came to that conclusion, because in fact, the Tordoff family business had made quite a bit of progress after matters fell in Jayden and Misha's hands.

However, Ramon let Theodore say whatever he wanted to say at this point, letting out all the annoyance he was feeling right now.

"Are you done talking?" Ramon asked calmly, as he waited for Theodore to say everything he wanted to say.

"What?!" Theodore was too irritated to hear Ramon's words, so he didn't catch what he said.

"Are you done cursing my son?" Ramon still looked very calm when he said that.

However, this time Ramon didn't wait until Theodore uttered some more harsh words to talk ill about Jayden, because Ramon's next move was to beat Theodore up.

He had wanted to beat this man for so long, since the time his daughter was hurt by Erick, but Alina always forbade it. Therefore, this time Ramon used this excuse to vent all his anger and annoyance on the useless man in front of him.

The two of them were indeed no longer young to get into physical fights, but even if they did get into physical fights, then it was certain who would walk away as the winner.

And just at that moment, Jayden and Damian arrived, while the members of the military police were surrounding Ramon and Theodore. They were there from the moment Theodore started hurling harsh words at Ramon, but gave no response whatsoever.

They didn't move forward to separate the two because Ramon asked them to back off and do nothing.

Therefore, when Ramon slammed Theodore to the ground, no one came forward to help him at all.

There was only one bodyguard from Theodore's side, who immediately approached his boss and helped him up.

"Dad, what are you doing here?" Jayden asked as he stopped beside his father.

"Just chatting with an old friend," replied Ramon lightly.

Meanwhile, Damian couldn't help but grimace, he couldn't see the incident just now as Ramon met his old friend.

"HOW DARE YOU HIT ME!?" cried Theodore very loudly. "I WILL SUE YOU FOR HARMING ME!"

However, Ramon smiled very cynically and answered very coldly. "Don't overdo it, Theodore, you just fell by yourself, everyone knows that."

"WHAT!?" Theodore felt like his head was going to explode with anger. He then looked at the military police around them.

However, they all dispersed as soon as they received direct orders from Damian.

"We didn't see anything," said one of them.
