Chapter 85

Hera's phone was unreachable. Nash tried a WhatsApp video call, but it went unanswered. His brows furrowed. Theo quickly asked, "What's wrong, Nashy?"

"Hera's missing…" Nash's voice held a worried edge. Hera had encountered an assassin before; her unavailability suggested trouble. Nash stood, ready to leave. Theo followed, calling on his phone. Olivia, waiting outside, saw their hurried departure and followed suit.

"Salvatore, help me find a woman named Hera Lewis!" Theo instructed, quickly ending the call and dialing again. "Chief Zink, it's Theo Skye. Please check on Ms. Hera Lewis." He made a third call: "Hun, use all your connections to find Ms. Hera Lewis of Jonford!"

Meanwhile, Olivia whispered, frowning slightly, "Hera's missing?" Theo nodded silently.

Just as Nash entered the elevator, Lauren video-called. "Nashy, we can't reach Hera…" Her usually calm voice trembled. Hera had mentioned an assassin encounter on her return to the Lewis household; Nash had saved her and Skadi then. Their inability to contact her now indicated something serious. Nash softly reassured her, "Don't worry, Lauren. I'm already working on it…"

As they exited the elevator, Theo received a call from Salvatore Smith. "Mr. Skye, I just remembered, Crow brought two beautiful ladies back tonight!"

"Where?" Theo asked urgently.

"Causeway Bay!"

"Is Crow your man?"

"Crow's the big boss in Causeway Bay. He's more powerful than I am!" Salvatore admitted, embarrassed.

"Find out if Hera Lewis is among them."

"Right away!"

Meanwhile, at a southern suburb transport company, dozens of trucks were being loaded late at night. Bare-chested workers hauled furniture. In the office, a bald man with a large gold chain had his feet propped on his desk, his attractive secretary massaging his legs. His unbuttoned suit revealed a scarred chest. He reclined, dialing Crow's number.

"Yo, Silly Salv, why're you calling your boss?"

"I heard you brought back two beauties… Is one Hera?"

"Damn, what's it to you?"

"Yes or no!" Salvatore's tone hardened.

"What? Interested in her? Even if she's yours, I still want some fun, hahaha…" Crow laughed arrogantly.

"Don't touch her!" Salvatore warned coldly.

"Silly Salv, forgotten your place? Threatening me?" Crow's tone chilled.

"What if it's Mr. Skye?"

"Screw Mr. Skye! In Jonford, I only take orders from Mr. Lane!" Crow hung up.

Salvatore stood abruptly. "Blake, gather the men. Causeway Bay!"
