Grief, Betrayals, and a Core of Blaze

Chapter 504 The Exchange

"Give my daughter back! What exactly do you want?" Xenon's wife struggled, but she could not break free. Xenon watched the man in black hand his daughter over to the masked man. The moment the masked man held Yvonne, Yvonne suddenly began to cry. Xenon's wife was heartbroken. "Please, give me my child back. Whatever grievances you have with us, can we adults settle them ourselves? Please, don’t hurt my child." The masked man was irritated by Yvonne’s crying, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes. "This child is quite naughty. How about I make her quiet?" "What are you doing?" Xenon instinctively sensed nothing good was coming. He charged forward like a madman, but he was struck down by the men in black, who slammed his head hard onto the table. The masked man produced a syringe from somewhere. There was a transparent liquid in the syringe, which inexplicably caused Xenon and his wife’s hearts to violently seize up. "What are you going to do? She’s only a few days old!" No one knew what the liquid in the syringe was, but the fact that they could trespass into Xenon’s home abroad so brazenly was enough to indicate that the other party’s identity was not simple. The masked man was completely indifferent to the heartbreaking screams of Xenon and his wife, and he calmly injected the liquid in the syringe into Yvonne’s body.The baby, who had been bawling moments ago, suddenly fell silent. Xenon's wife instantly fainted. Xenon’s face turned terrifyingly pale. "Who exactly are you? What do you want by treating my daughter this way? Let go of me! Do you know who I am? Do you know who my brother is?" Xenon rarely mentioned his Stone family identity when abroad, and he and his wife were very low-key, but at this moment, to save his daughter, he could only bring up the Stone family. Unfortunately, the other party did not care at all. "Xenon, if you weren’t a Stone family member, you might not have this difficulty today. Don’t worry, your daughter is fine; I just put her to sleep temporarily. But if you don't cooperate with me, I don't know what drug your daughter will be injected with next." The masked man’s words instantly made Xenon calm down. He looked at the man before him and asked, word for word, "What exactly do you want me to do?" "I heard you’re returning home in a few days? I will tell you what to do after you return. To prevent you from tricking me, I will send someone to follow you. Don't worry, she will only stay by your side as a maid to help you care for the child. As long as you obediently listen to me, I guarantee I will not harm your family." Xenon heard him say this and immediately narrowed his eyes. "What if I refuse?" The masked man couldn’t help but sneer. "Refuse? Well, then your wife and daughter won’t need to live in this world anymore." Xenon’s face instantly flushed purple and red with anger."Who are you? If you dare touch my wife and child, I won't let you off even as a ghost!" "Save your breath! Since I dare to do this, I am not afraid of retaliation from you or the Stone family. But what about you—are you afraid of what I might do to your wife and child?" The masked man relentlessly seized Xenon's weakness. Xenon’s eyes were bloodshot, and he had bitten his lower lip until it broke, yet he could do nothing. "Fine, I promise you. Can you give me my daughter back now?" The masked man waved his hand, and Yvonne was immediately returned to Xenon. Xenon instinctively placed his finger under his daughter’s nose. Only after feeling her steady breathing did he finally let out a sigh of relief. Just then, a woman walked out from behind the masked man. "Sir." "Starting today, you will follow Xenon and his wife. Publicly, you are the confinement nanny they hired, specializing in caring for the child, understood?" The masked man spoke to the woman. The woman nodded and went straight behind Xenon, even calling a doctor for Yvonne. Seeing this, the masked man got up, lightly brushed off non-existent dust from his clothes, and said plainly, "See you back home!" After that, he left with the men in black in a flurry. Xenon did not know what the other party intended to do; for now, he could only prioritize his wife and child. When the family doctor arrived, they first examined Yvonne. Upon learning that she had only been injected with a mild sedative and it would not have much impact on her health, Xenon finally relaxed. His wife had also merely fainted from the shock. Just as Xenon was contemplating what method to use to get rid of the woman the masked man had left behind, an unforeseen event suddenly occurred. The woman seemed to have guessed Xenon’s intentions. Before Xenon could act, she preemptively restrained the unconscious Xenon's wife and injected an unknown liquid into Xenon's wife’s body.
