The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Xavion's statement that time was running out made Spencer feel even more worried.

He could not help but question Xavion," We've sent so many people and even offered so much money, but we still haven't been able to find any clues yet?"

"No..." Xavion spoke up and said, "Our people, as well as the gangs from New York, are already searching all over the whole of New York, but there are just no clues..."

Spencer rebuked angrily, "They are all a bunch of useless people! This is especially so for those intelligence personnel. We usually spend so much money to support them just so that they can play an important role at the critical moments, but the more critical the situation, the more useless they are!"

Xavion said helplessly, "Dad, we cannot blame our intelligence personnel this time mainly because the kidnappers are simply too cunning. They really did not leave any clues behind, and the premise is that there must be at least a clue to lead us to the culprit. However, not to mention our intelligence personnel, but even the CIA from the United States also have a large number of unsolved cases because there are no clues..."

Spencer suddenly remembered something, and he blurted out, "That's right! What did the police say? Isn't that Merlin a great detective?! He has also been investigating this case, so why hasn't there been any news yet?" "This..." Xavion spoke angrily, "I didn't contact Merlin. I really cannot get along with this guy."

Spencer asked coldly, "Merlin seems to be very close to Christian from the Acker family, right?"

"That's right." Xavion nodded and confirmed, "He has a good relationship with Christian Acker."

Spencer instructed, "Call him and ask him if the police have found anything. If the police can find the kidnappers, everything will be fine. However, if we cannot find the kidnappers, we will have to give the kidnappers the two hundred billion US dollars worth of cryptocurrency that they have demanded if we want Homer to survive. If we really hand the money over and no one is caught in the end, it will be difficult to recover the money.

Cryptocurrency is completely anonymous, and it is a string of encrypted data. Anyone who has it can put it online to be used for anonymous transactions."

Xavion hurriedly said, "I know, Dad. I will call Merlin in a while."

Spencer looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and said earnestly, "Xavion, since this matter has already developed to this point, both you and I have to be mentally prepared." Xavion was startled and quickly asked, "Dad, what do you mean...?"

Spencer did not hide the truth, and he said seriously, "You have to be prepared for the news of failure to reclaim Homer to come back..."

When Xavion heard this, his face instantly turned extremely pale, and his lips trembled slightly as he said, "Dad... the other party just wants money! He wouldn't kill him, right?!"

Spencer sighed. He did not answer the question but instead, he looked at his son and asked, "Xavion, do you know what the biggest negative impact on the Fox family caused by your grandfather being in power for too long is?"

Xavion did not know why his father was asking this and so, he shook his head blankly.

Spencer said emotionally, "The biggest negative impact, from me to you, and then to Homer, is that our business abilities are far from keeping up with the rhythm of this huge family. If everything is running smoothly, it would mean that the plane is on autopilot. I would just need to sit in the driver's seat to ensure that it is moving normally, but I would not have a good ability to deal with it in the event of an emergency..."

As Spencer spoke of this, he looked at Xavion and said seriously, "The question that you asked me just now is completely inconsistent with your identity. Think about it carefully. If you are a kidnapper and you have kidnapped your target successfully for a ransom of two hundred billion US dollars and the entire process of your kidnapping was handled seamlessly, the cryptocurrency in your hand can also be slowly realized without any risks. In that

case, would you release the hostage,

then?"

Xavion was speechless for a moment.

Spencer looked at him, and he could not help but sigh as he said, "I still have to accept the gap... If your grandfather was here, he would not be as passive as we are being..."

Xavion sighed and said, "Dad,

Grandpa and Kathleen are still

missing. We have already invested a

lot of manpower and resources to find them, but we haven't been able to find any clues at all... I used to think that the overall strength of the Fox family could be ranked amongst the top ten in the world and that we are almost omnipotent.

However, these two consecutive times have made me realize that our overall strength might still be a long way off..."

Spencer responded with a serious expression, "When this matter passes, we must improve ourselves as soon as possible no matter what the outcome is. Otherwise, it would be difficult to guarantee that the Fox family will last forever..." Xavion asked carefully, "Dad... what do you think the probability of Homer returning safely is?"

Spencer thought about it for a moment and said seriously, "Frankly speaking, it might not even be more than 10%..."
