Chapter 1108 Someone Who Can Help
Theodore received a message and his face immediately tensed up. He put down his phone and said to Oscar, "We can't track Hannah's whereabouts since she left Manuel with us a week ago. Based on my years of experience, something has happened to her!"
Oscar remained calm, telling himself not to panic. He said, "Let's go to Hannah's place in Jolencami."
The two quickly left the airport and took a taxi to Hannah's home in Jolencami where she had married Doyle. When they arrived at the large villa it was pitch black outside. It seemed like no one lived there. Without hesitation, Theodore tried opening the door but Oscar stopped him saying, "Don't go in." Theodore was surprised by his words.
"We shouldn't break into someone else's house without permission," Oscar explained. "If there is an alarm system set up here we could be caught by Jolencami police, they will make it even harder for us to find Hannah."
Theodore frowned as he considered what Oscar had said.
"Manuel suggested that Doyle might have something to do with whatever happened to Hannah." continued Oscar. "As the prince of Jolencami, he would know how best to hide her from us if he found out we were looking for her. We need another plan."
Theodore admired how much thought Oscar had put into this situation but couldn't help feeling frustrated at their lack of progress in finding Hannah.
"What should we do now?" Theodore asked impatiently. "We don't have much information about where she could be."
"We need some help," replied Oscar calmly.
"Who?" Theodore asked excitedly. "Maybe one of the ministers? I'll check if I've contacted any before..."
"Doyle has control over all his ministers," interrupted Oscar before Theodore could finish speaking. Theodore was furious enough that he could kill Doyle if he dared to show up in front of them now. "We need someone else. Real Besse." Oscar emphasized each word, "if Doyle imprisoned Hannah because he liked her, then Real Besse will work with us because Doyle abandoned her."
"But we still haven't found out where Besse is? Where can we find this woman?" Theodore agreed with Oscar's point.
"In the palace," Oscar was certain.
"Besides being Doyle's fiancée, Besse is also Queen Carol's adopted daughter. When she wakes up, Carol will ask her to stay in the palace for convenience. So all we have to do is get into the palace and see Besse. Then we'll most likely know where Doyle has hidden Hannah." Oscar analyzed.
"Could it be that Hannah is also in the palace?"
"Not very likely," Oscar said. "I think Queen Carol wouldn't accept that Doyle would leave Besse behind and be with Hannah instead. Of course, these are just speculations. The most important thing tonight is to get into the palace."
"Tonight?!" Theodore widened his eyes.
They weren't prepared for anything. How could they get in?! What if they were discovered and shot dead?!
"Yes, tonight." Oscar was resolute. He didn't want to delay even a second.
Theodore hesitated but decided to take a risk and follow Oscar anyway.
To be honest, Oscar had been the leader of Northfield for so long that he almost always considered everything thoroughly before doing anything risky or uncertain. It had been a long time since Theodore had seen this humane side of him. Even if it meant danger, he was willing to see this flesh-and-blood version of Oscar.
The two quickly left Besse's villa and appeared at Jolencami Palace, which was spacious and bright. They needed to observe outside first; they couldn't just barge in like that. The two waited from afar for over an hour.
"Theodore,"
Theodore admired Oscar's powerful brain; he couldn't think about how they could enter such a heavily guarded place like Jolencami Palace by themselves.
"I've observed that vehicles are coming in and out of the palace intermittently..."
"So we hijack one of those vehicles going into the palace?"
Oscar looked to Theodore, who pursed his lips tightly. He too was excited. Excitement made him forget about thinking too much about it.
"The palace's carriage will return after it comes out. I'll follow a car that is travelling and find an opportunity to hide under the chassis of the vehicle, then follow the vehicle into the palace." "What about me?"
"Cover me outside."
"What if something happens to you inside and I can't see it from outside? How do I support you?" Theodore was a bit agitated.
"Pick up my body then."
"Oscar,"
"I'm talking about 'if'."
"Oscar..."
"If I failed, I'll give you a signal. And you can show your identity and call the chief secretary of the king, I don't think they dare to kill me." Oscar said seriously. "If I died before you make that call, bring my body back to Northfield."
"I want to go in with you."
"I don't want you to die with me."
"Oscar, we are brothers..."
"I need someone to cover me when I go in, you have to help me cover," Oscar said frankly.
Theodore held back his emotions.
"Let's go," Oscar didn't hesitate, "let's find a car."
"Okay." Theodore followed Oscar as he left.
They bought a random car at a high price on the street and then wandered around the palace.
It'd been a while. Finally, a car emerged from the palace. Theodore and Oscar exchanged a glance. Theodore then quickly drove to catch up but kept a great distance to avoid drawing attention.
It was already 10 PM in Jolencami and there wasn't much traffic on the streets. After a while, the sedan parked at a shopping mall. The staff respectfully opened the car door and invited the man in that sedan to step out. The man was followed by two bodyguards as he entered the mall with his entourage. It looked like the entire shopping mall had been cleared out, obviously to receive high-ranking officials and dignitaries. After dropping off the person, the car drove to the parking lot of the shopping mall. Theodore quickly drove to the parking lot. After the car in front of him entered, Theodore's car was stopped. "You can't go in now."
"Why can't we go in?"
"Royal nobles are shopping inside, no one else is allowed to enter." The security guard said sternly.
