CHAPTER 174
Arctic did not say anything anymore and just let him go. Seeing as he was being obedient, Zale smirked. It was great always having one over your enemy. You could control them to do your bidding.
Zale turned to face his men and said, “Shall we?”
Together all of them including Arctic made their way to the room Jade was held captive in. The second the door was pulled open Zale saw a lady lying on the only small bed in the room with her brown hair falling all over her face.
At first he scrunched his nose. He wasn’t sure as to what he was seeing but then he did not say anything and kept his doubts in check.
He proceeded in first, followed by the others and came to a stop a few feet away from the bed.
“Boss, should I wake her up?’ the first man asked.
“No, just raise her head so that I can see her face. I can tell if she is the one or not.”
.....
“Yes boss.” Without further ado, he moved past them and went to raise Jade’s head like he was instructed to do.
The moment he did that, freeing her face from her hair, Zale’s eyes widened as he recognized her very well.
‘Isn’t she the girl I met with Xander then in that hotel? Wait, is she really Jade Frost or is the unkillable killer just trying to play me?’
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSwiftly he turned around and his eyes landed on Arctic. “What is the meaning of this?”
“You asked for her and this is she.”
‘Do you think I am stupid?”
“I think you know the answer you seek,” Arctic responded in a bland tone ignoring him and looking over to Jade whose head was still raised.
‘I am sorry Jade. I never wished for this day to come.’
“How do I ascertain that you are speaking the truth?”
“You never know.”
“Then why is she...”
He did not get to finish his sentence when Arctic interjected. Her appearance was changed, altered to say the least. It was why I asked for the needed chemicals.”
“Huh?”
“Get me what I need and I would present her to you in her real form.”

On the other hand, Xander, Jenny, Jay and Sky had searched for her everywhere after they had trailed her down to where she was kidnapped but they found nothing.
“Something is not right. Where could she had been taken to?” Sky asked.
His question wasn’t directed to anyone in particular but everyone wore a sad look as he mentioned that.
“Xyler, any luck yet?”
“No, Xander. It is as though her aura is nowhere in this world, like it is gone.”
“What? That cannot be. Quinn cannot be dead. Perhaps she is unconscious and that is all.”
“If it was that simple, then I would have been able to sense her. Something is definitely not right,” Xyler replied. He wasn’t giving him the optimistic vibe he was hoping to get, rather he was making it seem even more terrible.
Although that was the case, Xander expected some more.
“The trail of her being dragged and carried ends here. We can ‘t detect the vehicle used and what is even worse is the fact that this place is a blindspot in the CCTV in the area.”
Jay was almost giving up. How can you find someone who looked like they were totally lost and gone from the earth?
Regardless of what they thought, no one dared to actually voice it out.
“Let’s scout the parameter and use our dragon eyes to search far and wide and listen in in any conversation.”
“Roger!”

Hours later Jade finally began to wake up as the doze of the drug that was shot in her finally worn off.
Her eyes blinked open as she took in the dark room and tried to adjust her eyes to the change in environment. By the time she felt she could see properly she looked down, catching sight of the silvery colour thing in the room apart from her.
“What! Wait.” Jade gasped when she grabbed the stuff and noticed that she was indeed actually holding her hair.
Her eyes widened when she found out. ‘NO! How could they have...’
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe could not even phantom the whole thing and what had transpired. All she knew was that it was no longer the brown coloured hair that she knew that was on her head.
She let her hand comb through her hair and watched as it passed through the silver straight hair.
Before she knew what was happening, her eyes stung and by the time she blinked, she began to tear up.
This had only meant one thing. She had been found by her core enemy. Her mind raced back to Xander on the phone.
Judging from the sound of his voice could hear just how panicked he was. ‘Oh Xander.”
*HOOF HOOF!*
Soon Jade could hear the sound of footsteps hoofing in the passage and knew that whomever her captors were, they would soon reveal themselves and that could be her one chance to escape this bondage.
GBOSH!
BANG!
The door slammed open, revealing her worst nightmare standing before her in the doorway.
“And if it isn’t the lady I have been looking for. You amaze me, Jade Frost. You hid well didn’t you? To think I had you close by al this while.”
“Happy you are happy. Now, can I go?”
Not so fast young lady. Are you not curious to know how I found you the truth about you and where we would get you?”
“I do not care for your games Zale Anders. Let me free and I would do wonders to your face.”
“I would take my chances. Now tell me, where is the seal? You cannot run anymore. I have you in my grip.”
“What do I care about running.”
“Perhaps I can help you have a change of mind. Bring him in.”
