As the police scrambled downhill in panic, every member of the Li family who had been waiting anxiously at the foot of the mountain rushed up at that moment.
"Why have you guys retreated?! Where's Sasha?" Martin questioned.
When the terrified policemen heard Martin's questioning tone, their faces turned sullen, showing their displeasure.
However, as it was Martin who had been the one to speak, they dared not raise their voice back at him, "Mr. Li, we're sorry, but we're no match for Fade. We've failed to rescue Miss Sasha."
"How is that possible?! You're the police, aren't you? How can you just surrender like that? You're..." Martin cried out, almost pouncing on the police.
Secretary Liu quickly reached out and held him back.
"Sir, you shouldn't be angry at the police now. We still need their help," Secretary Liu persuaded.
Martin's anxious countenance eased a little at that but his anxiety did not abate. "Two hours have passed since then! I don't know how much Sasha has suffered already. We need to get to her quickly."
At this moment, a group of people walked up behind him. Secretary Liu looked over at them and reminded, "Mr. Li, the director of the security department, Mr. Huang is here."
At the mention of that, Martin's heart skipped a beat. He forced a smile onto his face and turned around to welcome him.
He knew that Mr. Huang was a bigshot in the security department. He was in charge of police and military affairs of Jade City, and his status was almost on par with the Chief Executive.
Initially, Mr. Huang had not wanted to get involved with a mere kidnapping case. However, as the Li family used Old Master Fenrir's business card this time to request for a special favor, they managed to get Mr. Huang there.
"Mr. Huang, you're here! Sorry for troubling you," Martin said respectful as he greeted the man.
Mr. Huang was over sixty years old and slightly plump. He shook hands with Martin and replied, "Mr. Li, no worries. I'm glad to be of help; it's just a small matter anyway. Let's get right to it, shall we?"
Martin nodded at that and together with the armed forces, he reported all the relevant information to
Mr. Huang.
After they were done, Mr. Huang couldn't help but frown as he inquired, " So according to your statement, this Fade fellow is a martial arts master, and a very powerful one at that. You're telling me that ordinary police forces and even the army wouldn't be able to tackle him head on?"
"That's right, Mr. Huang. He defeated the first batch of police and even scared off a helicopter just now before they got the chance to attack!"
"Furthermore, we suspect that he merely demonstrated surface-level skills and hadn't gone all out yet. If he did, I'm afraid our personnel would most likely be killed or injured."
Hearing this, Mr. Huang's face turned sullen as he roared, "How despicable! He's even bold enough to abduct people to become his hostages in Jade City?! You're telling me that after he attacked the police, he said he hasn't gone all out yet? Ridiculous!"
Martin who was standing beside him added fuel to the fire, "Mr. Huang, Fade has killed a lot of people who were from the Li family. He's really malicious!"
Mr. Huang's eyebrows knitted into a furrow when he replied, "When encountering such an outlaw, it seems like there's only one way to go about this..."
"Mr. Huang, are you referring to..." Martin started to ask.
