Chapter 37
Chapter 37 Bridget Riker
No one in the Skydragon had ever encountered such an arrogant woman.
Soon, they realized that Isabella did have the right to be arrogant.
All of them, including Harper, noticed their bodies go stiff, and they could not move.
It occurred to them that Isabella seemed to have pressed specific acupoints on their bodies.
"What have you done to us? Who are you?"
Harper questioned.
They began to wonder if Isabella had come after them on purpose.
But the woman was scary.
Scar was shocked and asked in disbelief, "Is that the legendary acupoints pressing?"
Isabella chuckled and said, "Well. It's something like that, but this is a piece of cake for a doctor."
Under the dim light, Isabella smiled.
She walked around the house, ignoring the people on the ground and those standing. Then, she moved the sofa and found a metal button.
The expression on the Skydragon members' faces changed when Isabella moved the sofa.
However, they could not move because Isabella had subdued them.
Isabella looked at the metal button with great interest and smiled at Harper and others.
"That's great. I hope there's a nice bedroom behind this button and a big bed."
As Isabella spoke, she pressed the metal button.
Instantly, the bricks below her moved apart, revealing a path two people could walk through.
There were steps below the entrance. Isabella's eyes lit up as she muttered, "Interesting! This is interesting. Without looking at the distorted faces of Harper and the others, she walked gracefully and calmly towards the entrance.
She saw another metal button by the steps when she was down there. Isabella pressed it lightly, and the bricks closed above her.
"Heh," Isabella chuckled and walked down the dark steps.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere was tense outside the alley.
The three men of Martin found the most profitable asset the Skydragon owned.
They were surprised. They never expected the boss of the famous Hallow Club in Dawton City to be Harper. "The Skydragon is not simple," said one of the guards.
"Yes, I heard that the Skydragon has someone backing them up. It seems that it's true."
"Well, let's do this then. We will go and look for Harper Scott. But before that, let's inform Chief Drennon and General Gates about the situation here."
One of the members made a suggestion.
The other two nodded. "Okay. Let's do it."
They called Alan and Martin. After getting to know the situation, Alan and Martin headed to the Hallow Club. That was why Harper and his men did not bump into Alan and Martin when they got to the alley. When Alan and Martin arrived at the Hallow Club, the three guards had already looked around but did not find Harper.
They could do nothing, and finally, Alan and Martin came.
The person in charge of the Hallow Club saw them, and he was flattered. He knew that the two were not ordinary people. Alan and Martin were the most trusted men of the Lockwood family's chieftain. He would be offending the Lockwood family if he offended them.
The person in charge smiled and approached them enthusiastically and politely.
He looked at the previous three members of the guard and said apologetically, "I didn't know that they were from the Lockwood family. If I had known, why would I stop them?
"To tell you the truth, Harper is not here, but our real boss is."
"The real boss?" Alan and Martin looked at each other, surprised.
According to the information they got, Harper was the boss of the Hallow Club.
Seeing their surprised faces, the person in charge smiled mysteriously and explained,
"Please follow me, gentlemen. Our boss has known you both for a long time, and I'm sure she'll be very pleased to see you.
Alan and Martin were curious about who the person was.
They followed the person in charge upstairs to the private room, opened the door, and were startled to see who was sitting inside.
"Miss Riker!"
Alan exclaimed in surprise.
Seeing the two of them, Bridget sat on the sofa and smiled. "I am also very surprised to see you under such circumstances."
Martin was shocked.
But then, he and Alan looked at Bridget in surprise.
"This is unexpected. Miss Riker, we did not expect you to own such a business.
"You must have formed the Skydragon too, Miss Riker."
Bridget pointed to the sofa beside her and said, "You two, have a seat."
She poured them two glasses of wine and said, "Well, it's just part of my leisure activity, whether it is the club or the Skydragon. I formed them to have fun. It's nothing." Though she said so, she was proud.
Alan and Martin's admiration was the best reaction she could ever expect.
"By the way, why are you here to look for Harper?
"Did that fool offend the Lockwood family?"
Bridget's expression changed.
Alan, who had always admired Bridget, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Miss Riker. There is no such thing."
Bridget had saved the lives of their guards before. Her medical skill was beyond excellent.
She learned her medical skills at the Sanctum of Holy Doctors, and she was the disciple of their leader, Carlos Orwell.
Bridget's medical skills have reached the point of excellence. Many domestic and foreign dignitaries had been spending billions of dollars, queueing up to get Bridget to cure them.
It could be said that Bridget was not only the young lady of the Riker family but also the heir of the Sanctum of Holy Doctors. Moreover, the world called her Miraculous Doctor. Her wealth, capital, and connections were all one in a million.
To them, Bridget was the most suitable candidate as their chieftain's wife.
Only Bridget could match Draxton's ability.
This was also one of the reasons why they disliked Isabella, trying to find faults and preventing Draxton from marrying her.
The more excellent Bridget was, the more Alan despised Isabella.
With someone outstanding like Bridget, they, as Draxton's subordinates, would naturally wish their chieftain's wife to be her.
"Oh, by the way, how's Draxton? I haven't seen him for a long time."
Bridget was curious about Draxton.
Alan and Martin hesitated. They did not know if they should let Bridget know about Isabella's existence.
Draxton wanted to marry a woman who was only the mother of his son and nothing else.
At that moment, they were even thinking that it would be better if Isabella was dead.
"Everything is as usual," Alan spoke, looking a little bit uneasy.
Bridget noticed Alan's unusual expression. She said with a small laugh, "Something must have been bothering you two. You haven't told me why you are here looking for Harper." Alan was in a dilemma. He and Martin looked at each other and hesitated.
Finally, Martin spoke and explained, "Well, a woman is missing in the territory of the Skydragon. We want to ask if anyone in Skydragon has kidnapped her."
"A woman?" Bridget asked with great interest.
Martin's expression turned gloomy when he said, "Yes, a woman. Mr. Lockwood said he would marry the
woman."
Bridget's smile froze slightly.
She said incredulously, "It's... shocking to hear. I've never heard of it.
"It's amazing that Draxton would fancy a woman. She must be outstanding."
Alan sneered and said, "On the contrary, this woman is nothing. The main reason chieftain was marrying her was because of Ricky..."Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
"Alan!" Martin stopped him.
Martin continued, "Miss Riker, everyone will know about this soon. Miss Thompson has given birth to the chieftain's son, and she gets to marry him because of that.
"This time, Alan and I planned to teach her a lesson. We wanted to see if we could get anything out of her.
"But we did not expect to lose her in Skydragon's territory. If Mr. Lockwood knew about this, he would punish Alan and me.
"She is the young master's mother. Nothing should happen to her. That's why we made some investigation about the Skydragon and found this place."
Bridget's smile faded, and she drooped her eyes gloomily. "They even have a kid..."
Alan and Martin felt sorry for her.
"It's a great loss to Mr. Lockwood for not choosing you," Alan said with a deep sigh.
"But even so, we still have to find the woman." He sounded angry but helpless at the same time.
Bridget lowered her head and said softly, "You can rest assured that if the disappearance of that lady is really related to the Skydragon, I will ask them to hand her over.
"Martin, Alan, follow me to Skydragon's place."
Bridget already took it as Harper and her men would be dead.
She knew Harper and his men's style of doing things. If they caught any woman alone, they would enjoy themselves with her, especially if they were pretty.
If the woman fell into the hands of those people, she would be in a pathetic state by now.
A hint of pleasure flashed across Bridget's eyes. When Alan and Martin saw that woman in such a pathetic state, she would not be able to marry Draxton anymore.
Meanwhile, she would hand in Harper and the others for the Lockwood family to deal with.
Bridget was grateful that Alan and Martin had told her such important news. Otherwise, she would be embarrassed if everyone found out about Draxton getting married to another woman was exposed.
All the dignitaries in Dawton City had the same thought. The Riker family and the Lockwood family would have a marriage tie, and Bridget would marry Draxton.
It was because Bridget was brought up according to the standard of the chieftain's wife.
Bridget was the future Mrs. Lockwood and the chieftain's wife.
Alan and Martin followed Bridget back to the alley. Bridget walked into the front and pushed open the rusty
steel door.
She explained, "This is an abandoned residence, which was previously said to be haunted, so the demolition and conversion have not been carried out.
"The Skydragon happened not to have a site, so I bought this place as the base camp of the Skydragon"
"It's brilliant. Who would have thought that such a humble old house would be the base camp of the Skydragon?"
Alan flattered Bridget as he clicked his tongue.
Bridget had already entered the house compound and opened the steel door inside. She smirked as she thought that the woman would never be able to marry Draxton anymore. When she looked inside, there was a look of incredulous surprise on her
"You
"Miss, you're here!" Harper and the others thought they would be standing there all night. Never did they expect Miss Riker to come.
Harper quickly begged, "Miss Riker, please help us! Our acupoints have been pressed, and we can't move
Bridget was shocked as she thought, "Pressing acupoints?"
"This is ridiculous. It's not a martial arts movie."
"The lady said she is a doctor and knows about acupoints, so she sealed ours."
Bridget's expression changed. It was not what Alan and Martin told her. They said the woman had nothing special, yet Harper claimed the woman to be a doctor.
Then, she noticed that the sofa was moved away and saw the exposed metal button.
Bridget's brows furrowed. She approached them and took Harper's pulse but found nothing strange.
She tried to press several acupoints on Harper's body but failed to free him.
It made her gloomier.
Bridget claimed to be a medical genius and had the honorable name of the Miraculous Doctor. But now, her subordinates had been pressed on acupoints by the other woman and could not move. Worse than that, even though she was the Miraculous Doctor, she could do nothing.
Alan and Martin were also shocked to see the scene before them.
After multiple attempts, Bridget still could not save her subordinates. So, she could only make up an excuse
"I can't get rid of this acupoint, or maybe there is no solution. There are always better people in this world. I should go back and ask my master for advice."
She told the truth as she pretended to be modest.
The appearance of that woman gave her a great sense of crisis.
She even suspected that the woman was doing it because she knew about her and was trying to warn her.
Then, she smiled wryly at Alan and Martin as she said, "I guess the lady must have left, but I have a way to find her Do you want to go with me, or..."
Suddenly, Alan's phone rang, interrupting Bridget's words.
Alan looked at the caller ID and became panicked.
Bridget and Martin looked at him. Martin's expression turned ugly because he knew who had called.
"It's Mr. Lockwood," Alan said.
Alan's face turned pale as he answered the call. Draxton said something and hung it up. Then, Alan said to Martin, "Mr. Lockwood ordered us to go back first."
Martin could only leave that matter to Bridget. "Miss Riker, we have to excuse ourselves now. So, we can only leave the matter of finding Isabella to you. Please help us. Thank you."
"It happened in my territory. I'll make sure to find her."
Bridget made a promise.
