Duncan sat on the sofa by himself and asked about what happened.
“It feels like their goal was to abduct Sonny.”
Duncan’s intuition was the same as Serenity’s and Zachary’s.
“Liberty, do you remember what they look like? If you can draw composites of them, I can have someone find them.”
Duncan was no longer a part of the underworld, but his legend remained. If he needed help from those people, they would do anything they could to help him as they used to in the past.
“They were wearing black masks and sunglasses, so I couldn’t see their appearances. I only know that they’re tall and strong. They’re not like ordinary thugs and are more like bodyguards.”
Zachary always had a bunch of bodyguards with him, so Liberty was used to seeing them. They were all tall and powerful, so she felt that the thugs were closer to bodyguards.
Duncan’s eyes darkened. He did not comment on what Liberty said and only asked for more details. Soon, it was time to eat.
At this time, his mother called again.
Duncan looked at the caller ID but did not answer. He calmly ate with everyone else.
“Duncan, who’s calling you? You’re not answering the call,” Grandma May inquired.
Duncan calmly filled his plate with food. He praised Serenity’s cooking while he ate, and he said enviously, “Zachary is blessed with delicious food.”
“You’re jealous, aren’t you? Find a wife who cooks well too, and you’ll also be blessed with delicious food,” Grandma May teased him. “Pick up the phone. The person has called several times. You might not want to answer it, but your ringtone is too loud and piercing. I’m too old to listen to such noise.”
“Grandma May, I’ll answer it after I’m done eating.”
Duncan remained calm and continued to eat. He occasionally filled Sonny’s plate using the serving utensils and said, “Sonny, you were frightened today. Eat more to get over the shock.”
“I wasn’t frightened,” Sonny retorted seriously.
“Right, right, right, you weren’t frightened. You’re a little man, Sonny. You’re brave and unafraid of anything.”
