From his house, Zorion headed straight for Waverly Village. Jacky's men blocked his way as soon as he was at the village's entrance. The villagers were busy decorating the village, and it looked like a celebration was about to happen.
However, there was something wrong with the atmosphere.
Everyone wore a woebegone expression, sighing while hanging the banners.
"Tell Jacky to come out." Zorion stood at the entrance of the village with a cold countenance.
There were more than a dozen vehicles behind him. Even though he was resourceful, Waverly Village was not in the coverage of his influences. For a place like here, even an army could not simply enter, let alone Zorion.
Nevertheless, Zorion couldn't care less as he was enraged.
The men who stopped Zorion knew him as Jacky had informed them beforehand. They knew he was no pushover.
"Mr. Jacky is setting up the bridal chamber. He isn't free to come out for the reception. Mr. Whalen, please go back. We've no time to entertain any guests as we're holding a wedding in the village."
"Tell him to come out, or you will know the consequences."
As Zorion spoke, the people behind him had already taken out their guns and aimed at Jacky's men who were blocking them. Dozens of guns were pointed at the leader's head. Even if they were toy guns, it was very intimidating.
"Inform Mr. Jacky that an honored guest has arrived."
Sensing a commotion, the other villagers all went home and hid. Meanwhile, Zorion went back into his car.
Santiago came out from the village and walked over to Zorion. He asked, "What's going on?"
"Jacky has abducted Rossie."
"What?"
Thinking that he had misheard it, Santiago turned to look inside the village and wondered why he didn't know it.
"Are you sure?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
Zorion raised his head with a ferocious look in his eyes. Santiago ruminate momentarily and leaned against a car, asking, "For money?"
Zorion did not reply.
"If it's not for money, then what is it for?"
While Santiago was talking, Xanthos also came out from the village. Raeleigh and Jepherson had left the previous day. At this time, they should still be unaware of what was happening here.
Xanthus was baffled by the behavior of the villagers, wondering why they had decorated the village.
Logan's body had not recuperated yet. Due to the cross infection, he couldn't even get down from the wheelchair.
A wedding? He pondered on this.
Xanthus walked from the village to Zorion. "Why did you bring so many men here? If someone calls the police, won't you be in trouble?"
Xanthus said so out of kind intention, but when Santiago and Zorion heard it, they stared at Xanthus as though it was a joke.
Xanthus mused on this matter for a moment before he said, "Tell your men to put the guns away. We can talk about it calmly."
"Jacky has kidnapped Rossie and wants her to marry Logan. Don't you know about this?"
Santiago asked. Xanthus was stunned. He asked back, "Logan can't even get out of his wheelchair, yet he's getting married?" "What did you say?" Zorion's expression turned cold as ice in an instant. He got out of his car, approaching Waverly Village. Santiago pulled him from behind. "Can you get in? He's doing this deliberately. I don't think he will let you in that easily."
Zorion turned around and threw a punch at Santiago. Santiago dodged it and gave Zorion a kick in return. "Don't be ungrateful. I'm doing this for your own good."
"Go and get Jacky! Tell him that if he doesn't come out, I'll set this village on fire."
