It was the next night at the Crawford family home in Northbay when a butler ran over shouting, “Master! I bring good news, Sir!”
At that time, Dylan was reading in his study. Allowing his butler to enter, Dylan then put down his glasses before rubbing his eyebrows and said, "Come ..."
“It's about Moldell's Kort! While Kort and Jett have done everything they can to fight our family in the last six months, we have just received news from a reliable source that Jett has gone missing!”
"What's? Jett missing?” dylan said as he stood up in surprise.
Jett is the third son of Kort who has slowly built up his power in the past six months. He was also constantly troublesome, deliberately causing trouble for the Crawford family whenever he could.
Although Dylan only sees it as a pest that does not need to be taken too seriously, it does not change the fact that Jett is always troubling their family. In fact, it was so annoying that the Crawford family often felt tired just from having to deal with him repeatedly.
To think that the thorn on their family's side had now disappeared!
“He disappeared isn't even the best news, sir! You see, Kort pulled most of his men last night and moved them elsewhere! The Crawford family can finally take a breather now!” said the butler happily.
Dylan himself nodded as a smile formed on his face.
“But... As I recall, Jett is Kort's favorite son.. Now that he's gone missing, do you think Kort will suspect that our family is involved in this matter?” asked the butler with a frown on his face.
"Of course not!" dylan said as he closed the book he had read before putting it on the side.
“After all, Kort is not stupid. He knew very well how skilled Jett was, and he was also well aware that even the Crawford family's main guard would not be able to touch him! I'm sure Kort also understood that our family wouldn't dare to do such a thing in the first place! Since you said that he pulled his men who were watching us, it clearly meant that they knew we were not his threat! Better yet, it means they have a big problem that they have to deal with!” dylan replied with a sigh of relief.
“You are absolutely right, sir! I seem to be thinking too much about things! ” said the butler with a smile watching Dylan pull out his phone.
“Stay, whoever captures Jett, within Mayberry City of all places, must be a highly skilled master! Fyn!” dylan said with a sudden serious expression on his face as the call finally hooked up.
“What can I help you with, Mister?”
“I now give you a secret assignment. I'd like you to investigate Jett's disappearance and try to find the master who kidnapped him. If we manage to hire or make him help our family, then we might finally have a chance to defeat Kort! You are free to use any way you can think of to look for it! ” Dylan's orders while slamming his free hand into the table.
As the butler was about to leave, Dylan exclaimed, “Wait! Tell the oldest woman, Madam, Lyra, and the whole family that we will have dinner together tonight!”
"…Yes sir!" said the butler, beaming with joy. After all, it had been a long time since he had seen Dylan look this happy.
Since Gerald's disappearance about six months ago, the Crawford family has never had a proper family dinner. Even Yulia hardly spent any time around Dylan during that period because she had always confined herself in her study room.
When dinner time came, Jessica and Lyra all smiled seeing Dylan feeling very happy after a long time.
“What happened, dad? In what order? Did you manage to find out where Gerald was? ” asks Jessica as soon as she gets a chance.
Shaking his head sadly, he then replied, “...No... We still can't find him..”.
Upon hearing that, everyone instantly turned a little moody.
"…However! Even if that's the case, today is still a good day! Anyway, Jett's missing! A tragedy occurred at Mountain Top Villa and all but one of Jett's subordinates there were killed!” Dilan announced.
"What's? b*stard is missing?” jessica said as she stood up and laughed.
"Indeed! Some masters have kidnapped Jett, and regardless of whether he did it for his own reasons or to help us, it doesn't matter because his actions still greatly benefit the Crawford family!” dylan replied with a smile.
“But who is that master? Are you aware of any other secret societies or families apart from the Moldells, father?
“Despite it, I don't know. Regardless, under these circumstances, I feel that our family is in dire need of a powerful master to help deal with the Moldell family. If we do find it, I am willing to offer one-third of our family assets just as an incentive for master to help us! ”
In response, Jessica and the others nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, in the southwest of the Heaven Region, a bus was slowly heading towards the Heaven Province.
