Chapter 511 - Liam's Judgement

Tristan was back in his panicking mode since Zhen-Zhen went missing again. He had no idea what happened to her, including FaMo.

Tristan, Matthew, and Sophia checked the CCTV recordings, hoping that they would get some clue. But to their disappointments, they got nothing except an empty screen. 

The CCTV cameras around the house had stopped functioning ever since Liam stepped inside while releasing the fog.

Thud!

Tristan punched the monitor when he didn't see any record about his wife. Sophia gasped in horror seeing the bleeding fist of Tristan. 

Matthew just remained silent. He could see that Tristan felt horrible right now. He understood that Tristan was acting like this because he was worried about his wife and father-in-law.

His words couldn't console Tristan because he would not listen to him. Seeing his wife and knowing her whereabouts were the only things that could make Tristan calm down.

"I need to find her! I need to find her, Matthew!!" Tristan screamed through his gritted teeth while gripping Matthew's shirt.

"If I have to search every corner of this country. I will do it just to find her.

Matthew didn't know what to say. He could see the fear and desperation in Tristan's eyes.

"I will help you. Don't worry Tristan, we will find them. They might come back to us, safe and sound."

"My grandpa… I need the help of my grandfather…" 

Tristan thought of Grandpa Lu. He needed his help in times like this. They would mobilize their resources just to find Zhen-Zhen. 

But the question was… Could the Davis Family influence help them in tracking Zhen-Zhen's location?

Tristan could care less about the Bermuda Gang. He had no time to deal with those sc.u.mbags. His priority was to find his wife.

With Matthew's initiative, he called Agent Phoenix and let him handle the Bermuda Gang. He asked him to hand over those gang members to the police since they were already done with their interrogation.

After giving Agent Phoenix instructions, Matthew and Sophia accompanied Tristan going to the Davis Mansion.

Andrew, Grandpa Lu, and their parents were shocked to see the condition of Tristan and Matthew. Their faces were covered by bruises. There was a gloomy aura surrounding Tristan.

"Son, what happened to you and Matthew?" Isabelle dashed in Tristan's direction. She cupped his face, assessing his wound.

"Brother... Where have you been? Who did this to both of you?" Andrew also asked Tristan in puzzlement.

Lucas's expression darkened. He couldn't accept that someone tried to hurt his son.

"Where's Lillie?" It was Grandpa Lu who noticed that Zhen-Zhen was not with them.

Tristan didn't answer his mother and brother. He turned to Grandpa Lu, answering his most important question.

"Grandpa, my wife… she went missing. Please help me. I want to find her by all means!" Tristan said with his pleading tone.

Grandpa Lu clenched his fists when he heard that. "Who did this to you? Did they kidnap your wife? How dare they kidnap my beloved granddaughter-in-law and my great-grandson?!!"

Grandpa Lu was now furious.

Tristan shook his head. "I don't know who took my wife. She just suddenly disappeared without a trace. I need to find her grandpa. Please help me! Use your power and influence grandpa."

"You don't need to tell me twice. I will find her!" After saying that, Grandpa Lu immediately picked up his phone and dialed a special number.

Andrew invited Matthew and Sophia to sit down while Isabelle pulled her son, Tristan to the sofa. He looked very problematic right now. She wanted to comfort him.

"I thought Tristan had a romantic dinner last night with his wife? Both of you asked for a leave of absence. It just so happened that Tristan's grandpa and Andrew decided to take lunch here, that's why they were here," Lucas said to Matthew.

Matthew and Sophia informed them of what happened yesterday. They mentioned the Bermuda gang but they omitted some facts regarding Zhen-Zhen's power and FaMo's involvement. 

They made it look like Tristan and Matthew defeated those guys that's why they were able to restrain those gang members and brought them to Tristan's penthouse. 

"So that's the reason Tristan and Lillie didn't come home last night. You spent the night in the hospital. So what happened next? How does Lillie go missing?" Lucas said, rubbing his chin.

Sophia and Matthew exchanged glances with one another. This time it was Sophia who answered Lucas.

They tweaked the story as if Agent Phoenix was the one who helped them handle the situation and do the interrogation together with Sophia and Lillie while Tristan and Matthew were being treated in the hospital.

"Matthew and Tristan were left in the hospital, while Lillie and I went to interrogate the men."

Sophia paused for a moment. She didn't know how she would tell them that some fog engulfed the house then she suddenly fainted. When she woke up, Zhen-Zhen was no longer there. She disappeared.

They were still waiting for Sophia's and Matthew's response when Grandpa Lu returned and joined them. He was just done doing his phone call.

"I already called the special forces and the special army under the Davis Family. Tristan, come with me. We will go to the headquarters. We need to tell them what you know. We will do our best to track Lillie's location."

"I will come with you," Andrew stood up and volunteered.

"No, grandson, just stay in the company. Tristan and I will not be around. You take care of the company on our behalf." Grandpa Lu requested him.

Andrew had no choice but to follow his grandfather's request. Matthew decided to drop Sophia at her home first before accompanying Tristan to support him.

It seemed that a nationwide search for Zhen-Zhen was about to happen again today.

*****

Meanwhile, the person the Davis Family was looking for was together with the strongest guardian warrior.

Liam teleported to a place where he could confront Zhen-Zhen without worrying about ordinary humans. They were now in the greenfield inside Leo's Private Villa.

He was carrying Zhen-Zhen who was still unconscious. He put her down on the ground and made her lean on the trunk of the big old c.h.e.s.tnut tree.

Liam was still kneeling beside her, watching over her with complicated emotions on his face.

"What should I do now? Should I bring you back to our world or kill you here?" he mumbled.

In order to return to their world, Liam should first recover his energy. He exhausted too much power when he sent FaMo away. His energy was drained for casting lots of spells.

Suppressing Zhen-Zhen's power using his mark was not a joke as well. With that alone, he needed to use a lot of magical energy and power.

Liam remembered the divine dagger. He took it from Leo this morning. Leo had become acquainted with the divine dagger. He was always borrowing it from Liam. Playing with the dagger became Leo's pastime.

The moment he took the divine dagger from its sheath, it immediately glowed with a golden ray like the color of the sunshine.

While watching the glowing dagger in his hand, Liam's mind traveled back to the past. He recalled that their ancestors tried to pierce the heart of the demon god's daughter using this dagger several times in the past.

However, no matter how hard they tried, the dagger couldn't penetrate the shield created by the demon god to protect his daughter, Zhen-Zhen.

He wondered if the divine dagger could penetrate and hurt the demon god's daughter now.

'Will it work? Or will a shield still protect her?' Liam pondered at that thought as he darted his gaze back and forth between the dagger and Zhen-Zhen's sleeping figure.

This divine dagger was the only weapon that could end the life of a demon including Zhen-Zhen's life. Liam was contemplating whether he had to do it or not.

He moved his gaze back on Zhen-Zhen's face. She was sound asleep, a perfect opportunity to strike and attack her.

'Pierce her heart and your mission will be done.' Liam's alter ego spoke to him. But part of him didn't want to hurt Zhen-Zhen.

"Am I doing the right thing?" Liam mumbled, his voice filled with uncertainties.

After taking his time, Liam finally made his decision. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. His grip on the dagger tightened.

"I'm sorry, Lillie," Liam softly said before raising the dagger in his hand.

*****

"Zhen-Zhen!!!" FaMo screamed her name.

FaMo, who was still trapped in his current spot, suddenly fell on his knees while pressing his c.h.e.s.t. He felt an excruciating pain spreading all throughout his body.

"Noooo! Zhen-Zhen is in danger!"
