The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 2174

Mateo frowned, thinking.

After a long time, he said meaningfully, "In this fort, there's only one person who dares to fight against you and me and makes Master step forward."

"Could it be..." Liam became enlightened and abruptly stood up. "Things are getting troublesome. I must find them right away!"

"I'll go with you." Mateo jumped out of bed and put on his clothes.

Liam looked at him in confusion and snapped coldly, "Stop meddling! Are you plotting something?"

He had no trust in Mateo and doubted everything Mateo did.

"Plotting what? Of course I want to get them back safe and sound with you!" Mateo wiped away his cold sweat and said emotionally, "I don't want to be accused wrongly before I get anything good out of it. Both tycoons will find fault with me!'

Mateo had a restless sleep the night he learned that Stefan and Xavier protected Renee and Leia. He felt that he had unknowingly got into deep trouble, and thought hard how he could resolve it.

Since he had the chance to fix things now, he wanted to make up for his mistake and leave a good impression on both Stefan and Xavier. It would be beneficial for him when he took over Benjamin's business in the future.

Although Liam looked down on Mateo, he could work with Mateo for the time being. After all, Mateo was familiar with this fort and was more experienced than him in handling many things.

"Do you know where he'd take them to?" Liam asked disdainfully.

"Given his style, I'm sure there's nowhere else except that place," Mateo guessed confidently. "Let's go. Bring your men, and I'll bring mine. Let's save some people!"

Meanwhile, Renee and Leia reached a deserted jetty in the dark after a car ride of roughly one to two hours.

"Get out of the car!" The driver shoved them out of the armored car fiercely.

Renee and Leia were blindfolded during the entire ride. The blindfolds were only removed once they reached their destination.

"This is..." Renee observed her surroundings. A large river with surging currents lay before her, with ships ported around haphazardly. A thought crossed her mind-she recognized this place.

"Do you know where we are, Ren? Why did they bring us here?" Leia asked Renee curiously. Although she was usually fearless, she was still scared.

"This is the infamous Rain River in The Triangle, a place with no rules or regulations," Renee said solemnly. She could tell what she and Leia were about to face since she knew where they were.

This place resembled Water Dock-full of sins, where human lives were trifled with. In other words, it was a piece of cake for them to get killed here. These perpetrators wouldn't be punished, either.

It seemed their kidnappers this time were utterly ruthless.

However, Renee was confused. She wasn't close with the fort residents, but there were no grudges between her and them either. She wondered who hated her and Leia so much to take such a ruthless step.

"A place without any rules and regulations? What do they want? Who did we offend? They didn't have to take us here!" Leia said, alarmed.
