Jennie's return home was unexpected, and her failure to return was a source of great concern for Bidegla. The fact that the phone call was not made by Jennie herself only added to Bidegla's suspicions.

Given the recent events at home, Bidegla had set aside Jennie's affairs. But now, with her absence, Bidegla knew that action was necessary.

Jennie was the most important woman in Bidegla's life, and he was unwilling to let her go, unlike others like Tamma Jones. If it was her decision to leave, Bidegla would not try to stop her. However, if it was not her choice, Bidegla was determined to bring her back.

When the plane landed at the Zhuhai City Airport, it was already noon. Bidegla made a call to Stuart Buzer before heading home alone.

Bidegla knew he couldn't take Pyotr Haler and Xiao Wu back with him, so he decided to leave them in Stuart Buzer's care for the time being. As the underground emperor of Zhuhai City, Stuart Buzer was skilled, and training under Xiao Wu was an excellent decision.

Tamma Jones had been waiting for Bidegla for a long time when he returned home. As he opened the door, she threw herself into his arms, almost knocking him over.

"Careful, you're going to knock me over," Bidegla said, gently patting Tamma Jones on the back to steady himself.

"No way," Tamma Jones shook her head, clinging tightly to Bidegla's waist. "Where have you been for the past ten days? You left without saying anything, and I thought you wouldn't come back."

Tamma Jones' voice trembled with tears, and Bidegla decided not to push her away. "I went back to my hometown for a bit. There was a family emergency, but it's been taken care of now."

"You should have told me before you left. I almost called the police, thinking you had disappeared for good," Tamma Jones said, looking up at Bidegla with a longing gaze.

"Alright, tell me what happened with Jennie. Why did she suddenly decide not to come back?" Bidegla asked softly as he placed Tamma Jones on the sofa.

"I have no idea. I got a call from a man saying Jennie was going to stay with their family and never return. He also mentioned something about the jewelry business being a gift for you."

"A man?" Bidegla's eyes flashed. "Did he say who he was?"

"I don't think so," Tamma Jones replied, shaking her head.

Despite considering Jennie Laura as a rival, Tamma Jones was saddened to hear that she had left and wouldn't return. With few true friends at home, Tamma Jones couldn't bear to let go of Jennie Laura, who had treated her like a beloved sister.

"Leave this matter to me. I will take care of it. For now, stay home and wait for my return," Bidegla reassured Tamma Jones before heading out again.

"How long will you be gone?" Tamma Jones asked, clearly reluctant to see Bidegla leave.

"I can't say for sure, but when I come back, I promise I will bring Jennie with me," Bidegla pledged.

When Bidegla spoke, his voice was resolute. Without even taking a sip of water, he drove his car out of the garage. Stuart Buzer had already arranged for his car to be brought back and cleaned. Bidegla immediately drove to him after making a phone call. About twenty minutes later, Bidegla arrived at the bottom of the New Yang Building. Stuart Buzer was alone, waiting for Bidegla.

"Brother Buzer," Bidegla called out to Stuart Buzer.

"Alright, everything is known now. I will take you to see the master. I cannot help you with this matter, only the master can," Stuart Buzer said, getting into Bidegla's car without hesitation.

"The master isn't upstairs?" Bidegla was surprised to see Stuart Buzer coming down. Shadow Dread was always there when he visited the New Yang Building. Now, he was out.

"The master is currently outside the city, discussing with an old friend. Let's go to meet him," Stuart Buzer said, pointing in a direction before falling silent.

"By the way, did you take care of the two people I brought?" Bidegla suddenly asked while driving.

"Your matters are my matters. You don't need to worry about them. I have arranged for them to stay in a five-star hotel under my name. Your matters are more important," Stuart Buzer reassured him.

Bidegla never expected Jennie to return home without visiting Zhuhai City. He had to visit her family to see for himself. Without seeing her, he could not believe her family's words, unless Jennie's previous kindness to him was all a lie.

As they drove further away from the city, both cars and houses became scarce, giving off an eerie feeling. "Brother Buzer, are you sure the master is really here?" Bidegla asked in confusion.

The status of Shadow Dread was unimaginable. The person he recognized as an old friend must also be wealthy and influential. Yet, there were no good buildings in sight. Why would someone of such status live in such a place?

"He does live here. When we meet him, you must show respect. His status is not much lower than the master's. Sometimes, appearances can be deceiving. Some people prefer to keep a low profile," Stuart Buzer explained.

Stuart Buzer called it a low profile, but when Bidegla parked his Lamborghini in front of a dilapidated small house, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. This was too low-key, even living in a dangerous house.

Inside the house, laughter could be heard. Using his ability to see through walls, Bidegla immediately saw his master and an unexpected person - the fortune teller who had warned him of impending danger and had introduced him to Shadow Dread. Bidegla couldn't believe that this person's status wasn't much lower than Shadow Dread's, and that he lived in such a run-down place. He also remembered how this fortune teller had outrun Cyril Hanni's henchmen when they chased him. How could such a person be the master's closest friend?

"Master, I seek an audience," Stuart Buzer respectfully called out at the door, just like in ancient times.

"Please come in," the voice of Shadow Dread came from inside the house, bringing back a sense of calm.

"Yes."

Shortly after, Stuart Buzer led Bidegla directly into the house. The exterior of the house was extremely dilapidated, and the interior was no better, lacking even a decent piece of furniture.

Even Shadow Dread and the fortune-teller were sitting on the ground, with a few cold dishes in front of them, and they were drinking together.

The wine was very cheap, but the way they savored it made Bidegla wonder if it was some kind of special vintage.

"Master," Bidegla respectfully called out.

"Enough, just sit wherever, have you eaten? If not, let's eat together," spoke the fortune-teller, not Shadow Dread.

At that moment, his mouth was greasy, and he was holding a golden chicken leg, smiling lightly.

"Thank you," Bidegla said wryly, not bothering to find a chair and simply sitting on the ground.

"Have you taken care of your business?" Shadow Dread asked calmly at that moment.

"Thanks to Master's blessing, it has been completely resolved," Bidegla responded respectfully.

"Since everything is settled, let's eat together. I can see you've lost weight in these past few days," Shadow Dread said with concern in his words.

During his time in the hospital, Bidegla had been in a passive state of energy depletion, so it would have been strange if he hadn't lost weight.

But the fact that even these small details were noticed by his master deeply moved Bidegla.

From morning until now, he had not eaten anything, so he didn't mind the greasy food on the ground and simply ate with his hands.

"Don't just stand there, join us for dinner," the fortune-teller pushed Stuart Buzer, smiling as he spoke.

"Thank you," Stuart Buzer said, then joined Bidegla in eating.

"Young man, from your appearance, it seems that you are quite fortunate?" the fortune-teller said, making Bidegla slightly stunned and putting down the chicken leg in his hand.

"Master, how did you know?" Knowing that this person was his master's good friend, Bidegla couldn't be foolish enough to think he was just a con artist, so he asked sincerely.

"Hehe," the old man smiled, then smoothed his beard and said with an air of mystery, "As the saying goes, the secrets of the heavens cannot be revealed!"

Hearing his words, Bidegla almost choked on a chicken bone, thinking it would have been better if he hadn't said anything at all.

"Bidegla, this is Master Xuan Yue, you must not be disrespectful," Shadow Dread said, with a very cold expression.

"Yes." Upon hearing his master's words, Bidegla quickly composed himself and then respectfully asked Master Xuan Yue, "Master, since you are so accurate in your fortune-telling, can you help me calculate my fate?"

"No." Hearing Bidegla's words, Master Xuan Yue shook his head and then said, "Your fate is filled with too many variables, even I find it difficult to calculate. However, I can tell that you have a recent trouble. Am I right?"

"Yes," Bidegla nodded, deeply impressed by Master Xuan Yue's skills.

When others told fortunes, they usually needed birthdates and other information, he had just looked at him and seen it all, truly extraordinary.

"And your trouble is related to a woman, is it not?"

"Very well, I must not reveal too much, since you have trouble, it would be best to seek help from your own master. You seem to be plagued by misfortune, but whether it is a blessing or a curse, I cannot say." With that, Master Xuan Yue fell silent, instead beginning to gnaw on a chicken leg.

"What has happened now?" Shadow Dread naturally had full trust in his old friend's predictions, so he directed his puzzled gaze towards Bidegla.

Having just helped Bidegla out of a major predicament, trouble had unexpectedly arisen once again, and he was on the verge of becoming Bidegla's professional problem-solver.

"It's like this, my woman hasn't returned here since going home, and I suspect her family has kept her there. I want to go to her family and investigate," Bidegla recounted the situation regarding Jennie.

"You're referring to the girl from the hospital last time, aren't you?" Shadow Dread gave Bidegla a glance, making him feel uneasy.

But in order to rescue Jennie, Bidegla gritted his teeth and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's her."

"Do you love her?" Shadow Dread asked again.

"Yes!" Bidegla nodded without hesitation.

"Then I understand. Tomorrow, I will personally accompany you on a visit!" With that, Shadow Dread stood up directly.
