Chapter 544 Lucian’s face gradually turned grim, as he could not locate Benny after searching the crowd alone. Although he was certain no one there would harbor ill intent toward Benny, he could not help feeling worried at that moment.
“Sir…” The toy vendor shuffled over again. Upon seeing Lucian’s face, the vendor stopped talking abruptly. Inexplicably, he felt that the aura enveloping Lucian’s body was immensely intimidating as if Lucian was about to swallow him whole.
Upon regaining his senses, the vendor cleared his throat and attempted to leave as if nothing had happened. However, just as he turned on his heel, a large hand seized his shoulder.
Needless to say, that hand belonged to Lucian.
The vendor’s heart trembled. He carefully turned his head around. “Sir, h-how may I help you?”
Lucian stared at him coldly.
Benny would not have gone missing if it wasn’t for this person’s sudden appearance.
The vendor developed goosebumps all over his body under Lucian’s intense gaze, and he could do nothing but wait for Lucian to speak.
“When you tried to sell us the toys earlier, did you see where the little boy on the far side went?” Lucian questioned him coolly.
The vendor trembled uncontrollably after hearing that. He replied in a quavering voice, “N-No, I didn’t see where he went.”
Lucian’s gaze darkened. His voice sounded more stern than before. “You can get lost now. Don’t ever think of reappearing in this resort.”
With that, Lucian strode away without waiting for the vendor to say anything.
The vendor slowly returned to his senses. He was frightened by Lucian’s words but did not take them seriously,
After all, Lucian looked no different from a tourist. He wondered who Lucian was to
decide whether he could reappear at the resort or not.
With that thought in his mind, he turned around, wanting to approach the rest of the crowd to sell his toys. Just then, a series of footsteps sounded behind him.
The next second, a large hand clasped his shoulder.
“Excuse me. Our boss said that you are not welcome here.”
A man’s voice reverberated beside the vendor’s ears.
Before the vendor could make sense of the turns of events, he was already being dragged away from the beach.
After Lucian’s subordinates were done dealing with the vendor, they hastily dispersed themselves among the crowd to resume their search for Benny.
Earlier, they had received instructions from their superior informing them of the owner of the resort’s dissatisfaction with that place.
The first issue was the vendor’s presence, which disrupted the peace at the resort.
More importantly, the owner of the resort, Lucian, had so rarely visited the resort but proceeded to lose his child because of the overwhelming crowd.
Everyone had hurried over after they were made aware of Benny’s disappearance. “I heard the child who went missing is a little boy, but I thought Mr. Farwell’s child is a little girl?” one of the employees asked his colleague in bewilderment.
Another employee reminded, “Regardless of the child’s gender, that child must be someone Mr. Farwell regards with utmost importance since he said so. We should hurry up and locate the child!”.
The employee who asked the question sheepishly agreed.
With the help of almost all the staff in the resort in conducting a search that lasted nearly half an hour, they finally found Benny at the ongoing band concert held in the middle of the beach.
Watching Benny standing beside the band, the employee could not help but feel uncertain if Benny was Lucian’s missing child.
After all, Benny did not appear anxious. Instead, he was even eyeing the drum set of the band with eyes gleaming in excitement.
The employee wondered if any child who got lost would behave in that manner.
After a few seconds of hesitation, he cautiously took a picture of Benny and sent it to
his superior.
He received a reply swiftly: Watch over that child closely. Mr. Farwell will be there at once!
