Chapter 833 - 541: Mechanism City [11] Nora Scott: My Boyfriend Is Truly Awesome

The night was tranquil, silently serene.

The group was all waiting for instructions.

Pedro Langley took out the remote control, maneuvering the drone closer, turning it into a mobile camera, capturing everything clearly.

Nora Scott leaned towards Pedro Langley, dropping her gaze with an intrigued smirk.

...It’s really quite convenient.

"Found them."

In less than three minutes, Pedro Langley spoke up quietly.

When he spoke with a hushed throat, his voice was low and magnetic, startling Nora Scott, causing her to involuntarily reach up and rub her ear.

Looking at the screen again, sure enough, shadows flickered by the window.

They had a certain level of vigilance. They hadn’t turned on the lights, without a single gleam. If not for the drone’s night vision function, with tonight’s stars cloaked by clouds, it would be difficult to notice their presence.

Nora Scott also recalled when this batch of drones arrived, Pedro Langley had taken a few sets of night vision equipment and handed them out to the others when getting off the vehicle...

Her boyfriend was truly impressive.

Having wealth and skill is genuinely useful.

"Let me see."

Eli Linfield hurried over excitedly.

Nora Scott raised her eyes to glance at Eli Linfield.

For some reason, Eli Linfield felt a chill run through his mind, gulped, and quietly stepped back.

Yet, his eyes couldn’t help but glance at Pedro Langley’s... uh, hand holding the remote.

Pedro Langley communicated with Marcus Shaw and Oliver Scott, coordinating the drones to capture from various angles. Pedro Langley casually pressed a few buttons, and the screen suddenly blackened, revealing several red dots; in places invisible to the eye, infrared detection showed each kidnapper’s location.

Benjamin Durant, unable to resist taking a curious peek: "..." Wow, it’s like an international blockbuster.

Eli Linfield excitedly tugged Benjamin Durant’s sleeve, muttering about his frequent regrets over not joining the military, now witnessing these military-like weapons first-hand, truly eye-opening.

"..."

Benjamin Durant bit his lip, withholding comment.

—It’s just a drone!

However, depending on these three drones, those hiding in the shadows were essentially in a ’head collecting’ state for the next few minutes...

Pedro Langley, Marcus Shaw, and Oliver Scott coordinated, confirming Clement Winter and the location of each kidnapper, then reporting each confirmed position to those hidden in the shadows.

The group flexed their muscles to approach, eager to showcase their skills, only to hear Pedro Langley’s voice through the earpiece—

"Go."

The group: ???

Weren’t they supposed to be advancing?

After several confused seconds, amidst chaotic noises, they realized—the instruction wasn’t for them, but the two youngsters in the vehicle!

The trio maneuvered the drones inside the factory, using the blank rounds installed in the drones to spray the kidnappers one by one.

Blank rounds are not real bullets, used for exercises and training they cannot cause absolute injury to humans. However, at close range, they still carry some impact, at least stronger than a slingshot. Besides, in the darkness, they caught the opponents completely off guard.

This unilateral ambush was brief, and upon arrival, the group found only wailing kidnappers strewn across the ground, someone even bawling thinking they’d encountered ghosts, scrambling to rub snot and tears on approaching rescuers, clinging to them while crying.

The scene was indescribably comical.

Benjamin Durant: "..."

Let this pretty boy show off, maddening!

Eli Linfield was excitedly sweating in his palms.

Nora Scott leaned closer to Pedro Langley, slightly tiptoeing, whispering playfully near his ear, "My boyfriend is so handsome."

So close, her breath softly brushed against him, Pedro Langley’s hand trembled slightly.

Smirking, Pedro Langley turned to look at her, "Did I give you face?"

Nora Scott raised an eyebrow, "Absolutely."

Having seen various raid battles, this was the one time where the enemies were subdued without necessitating manual intervention. Just a few people needed to arrive and bind the enemies.

Effortless.

—Her boyfriend was simply too handsome.

Pedro Langley freed a hand, naturally wrapping it around Nora Scott’s waist, lowering his head to rest against her forehead, his thin lips curling up subtly, voice low and warm, "What reward?"

Nora Scott slightly tilted her head back, naturally pressing her lips against his.

Pedro Langley was momentarily stunned, blinking, laughter surged from his eyes and spread to his eyebrows and lips.

Beside them, Benjamin Durant and Eli Linfield hadn’t noticed their specific actions, but seeing the two’s intimate demeanor, could guess they were flaunting their relationship, exchanging glances, feelings mixed with indescribable complexity.

Eli Linfield said, "I’ve been crushed."

Benjamin Durant: "..." He should have captured the scene of Pedro Langley this pretty face taking advantage of his mentor’s niece, later send it to his mentor, let his mentor deal with Pedro Langley this pretty face.

Damn.

The pretty face flirted with his mentor’s niece right in front of him!

Did he think he was invisible?!

...

In short, this raid went off without a hitch.

A safe ending.

When Nora Scott and the others entered the factory and found Clement Winter, he had just woken up, yawning and rubbing his eyes, still half-asleep until he saw Nora, which instantly brightened his eyes and cleared his head.

"Nora!"

Clement immediately moved closer.

The beam of a flashlight swept across his face, perhaps intentionally, perhaps not, causing Clement to pause, close his eyes, and stop moving closer to Nora.

Pedro Langley discreetly moved the flashlight away a bit.

Seeing Pedro’s actions, Benjamin Durant thought to himself, "..." Damn, he was wrong. This guy isn’t a pretty boy; he’s an old sly dog.

The shameless kind.

No wonder his mentor got completely wrapped around his finger...

So annoying.

His wise and mighty mentor turned into a love-struck fool! Constantly showering him with gross displays of affection!

Inspecting Clement briefly and confirming he’s unharmed, Nora asked, "All good?"

Clement shook his head, "All good."

Eli Linfield, loyal to Pedro Langley, didn’t want this naïve guy too close to Nora, so he gestured Clement over, checked him over, confirmed he was fine without a single bruise, and then clicked his tongue.

"I say—" Eli, wrapping an arm around Clement’s shoulders, raised an eyebrow and drawled skeptically, "Did you set up this kidnapping yourself?"

"Huh?"

Clement was baffled.

Eli asked naturally, "Otherwise, how come you’re perfectly unharmed?"

"They didn’t hit me." Clement patted his dirty sleeve and answered truthfully, "They told me not to move, so I didn’t. I slept in the car, and after getting out, they gave me sleeping pills, so I’ve been sleeping until just now."

Eli: "..."

Everyone else: "..."

You really are something special.

Rubbing her brow, Nora felt quite helpless, and with a smile she asked, "Why did they want to kidnap you?"

"Before I fell asleep, I think I heard—" Clement paused, his previously casual expression suddenly more serious, "They’re looking for my mom."

Everyone: ???

If they’re looking for your mom, why not find her directly? What’s the point of kidnapping you?!

Recalling they couldn’t reach Evelyn Winter with both phone calls, Nora sensed something was off and glanced at Benjamin Durant.

Benjamin took a deep breath, reluctant but bound by the duty to his mentor’s apprentice, shook his wrist, and walked towards the corner.

He patted the shoulder of the person standing guard, who stepped aside.

Twisting his neck, Benjamin’s lips curled into a mischievous smile.

He looked down, glanced at the bound kidnapper, raised his eyebrow, and just as the kidnapper instinctively leaned his head back, Benjamin suddenly stomped down, hitting the kidnapper’s gut.

"Ow—"

The kidnapper screamed in pain.

The next moment, Benjamin pulled back his foot, leaned lazily forward, and with a smile that masked a fierce intensity, said, "Sweetheart, spill it! What’s your purpose?!"

Kidnapper: "..." Damn, this guy’s too vicious. I want to call the cops.

The kidnapper held out for three seconds, then caved under another impatient kick from Benjamin, crying as he answered honestly.

"I’ll talk! I’ll talk! We were hired! The employer paid us to kidnap this kid and then contact his mom—"

Benjamin reigned in his fierceness and gave a gentle smile, "And after contacting?"

The kidnapper, unsettled by Benjamin’s schizophrenic demeanor, fearing he might get stabbed any second, hurriedly replied, "The employer will come in person."

Benjamin was momentarily stunned.

He stood up and looked at Nora.

Nora’s expression tightened, and she quickly told Eli, "Have your people withdraw and hide, quickly."

Eli was a bit slow to react, but just as he was about to nod and agree, Pedro Langley spoke with a slight regret, "Too late."

Everyone looked up.

Pedro Langley said, "Marcus Shaw reported that a car was hovering nearby a few minutes ago and just left."

"..."

"However," Pedro continued smoothly, "he noted down the license plate number."

Nora glanced at Eli.

Eli quickly called someone.

"...With this license plate number! Find it! Turn over every stone if you have to!"

Eli finished issuing orders and hung up.

Just then—

A scream was heard outside, and a guard was directly thrown in. As they looked up, they saw a graceful woman, exuding an aura of menace, walk in.

"So you’re the ones who kidnapped my son—Nora Scott?"
