Chapter 262
Back in Silverbourne, he brought Zane to a fancy villa. Inside were servants and people solemnly dressed in black. Seeing the man, each of them nodded in respect.
Zanes eyes narrowed slightly as he scanned the area.
It was then discovered that the entire villa was equipped with the heaviest surveillance equipment. Although there were not a lot of people in the house, it still was not easy to escape from such a precisely laid out place.
Realizing this, he frowned.
River took in Zane’s expression and a small grin appeared on his face.
“Don’t bother looking, you can’t escape.”
Zane, who was aware of his inner thoughts, raised his face and stared at River, but he did not panic.
Hmph. No matter how difficult it was, he would still find a way to escape.
With a light snort, he turned away from River and let him lead him to a room.
He called out to River as he was about to leave.
“You’re just going to leave me like that?”
River looked up slightly, as if a little puzzled. Then he heard Zane say, “The reason why you kept me was not to threaten my parents. Now that I’m already in your hands, why don’t you call my parents and give them a threat?”
His words surprised River, the corners of his mouth in a smirk. He looked at Zane’s eyes, trying to read what he was thinking.
The kid looked back at him without flinching.
“You’re right. You should call your parents,” River nodded in agreement.
“138..” Zane gave a string of numbers.
Under River’s surprised gaze, he stated blankly, “My jerk of a father’s number.”
He didn’t give out his Mommy’s number because he was suspicious of the man in front of him. After
all, this man had just thought of capturing his mother; he definitely could not expose her
whereabouts.
River was still in shock when Zane continued, “What, didn’t you get that? I’ll call it out again.”
“No need,” River returned to his senses and shook his head, his eyes deep.
Zane was not intimidated, so he just stood there quietly waiting for River’s next move.
In the end, the man slowly took out his phone and dialed the number.
It took a while for the phone to connect before a cold voice was heard.
River would recognize it even if he turned to ashes. Hearing the voice startled him.
“Who?” On the phone, Drake Warner’s voice was icy and even carries out a little impatience.
After regaining his senses, River said stonily, “Your son is in my hands.”
17-26
Upon hearing his words, Drake on the other end of the phone immediately asked, “Who are you?”
“You don’t need to know who I am. If you want to save your son, you should…” River faltered, unable to think of what he should demand for Zane in return.”
“Who the hell are you?” Drake asked again, anger evident in his tone.
“You jerk, save me!” Zane called out at that moment.
Jane heard his voice from the other line and snatched the phone from Drake’s hand.
“Zane, is that you? Where are you?” she asked frantically.
Hearing his Mommy’s voice, he answered immediately, “Mommy I’m fine, don’t worry.”
“Zane, where are you? Mommy will look for you right away.”
“Mommy, I’m in Silver-”
Before he could finish his sentence, River hung up the phone and his sharp gaze fell on him.
Zane felt a chill behind his back. He has a really strong aura, he thought to himself.
“Kid, you almost fooled me.” River said coldly.
Zane shrugged casually. “How could I have tricked you? How else would they believe that I am really in your hands? Now that they do? They’ll surely agree to the demands you make.”
Hearing his sophistry, River’s brows twitched, and he actually felt that what he said made sense.
However, he would not dare believe the little trickster in front of him.
“Hmph. You’re talking nonsense.”
“Hey, this is your fault. Why do you mean by nonsense, is what I said so unreasonable? If you do not believe me, call them again and make a demand. They will definitely negotiate with you.”
Although Zane said those, he was not entirely certain.
If it was his Mommy, she would definitely save him no matter what. However, that would not be the case with that scummy father, Drake Warner. He probably would not be taken seriously even if it touched his greatest interests.
After all, he still has another son – Zachary.
River did not plan on calling Jane and Drake anymore. After Zane spoke, he just gave a cold reply.
“Just stay put. Don’t get your head in the clouds.”
With that, he walked away, leaving Zane alone in the room.
Drake Warner, who had been hung up on the other side, tried calling the number again but it would not get through.
However, they heard Zane’s voice on the phone so of course they would not just let it pass.
Drake directly called his assistant Daniel Turner, reported the number, and asked him to trace it.
Their car shortly reached the highway intersection in the city. The two of them drove off the highway and went to a parking lot.
“Just now, Zane said that he is somewhere in Silver. We should check online and find out which

Chapter 262
places in the city have the word ‘Silver‘ on them. Let’s go and see first.”
Jane did not object. The top priority was to find Zane.
The two then scoured the internet for names of places starting with ‘Silver‘ and after doing so, found out that there were three places that match what they were looking for. They immediately went to
look.
The first place was a huge park named Silverton Park. They both circled around and got to know the people nearby, but found nothing. They had to go drive to another place.
The second place was a river. Once they reached the place, they only took note of the bridge over the river but could not find anything else.
In the end, they could only go to one last place. Upon arrival, they found out that it was a luxury villa, connected to a forest behind. Not only did the mountain carry the word ‘Silver, the villa area also began with the same word.
The villa was large and heavily guarded. Facial recognition was needed to get in and out, otherwise only the occupants inside can bring people in.
The two parked in front of the door and observed the area carefully. The so–called Alliance headquarters would most likely be here.
