Chapter 1076 Xavier Was Found
Jack sighed when he looked at the mess in the room. His eyes were lifeless, as though he had aged ten years overnight.
"Did they bring Wayne's body away?" Luke asked.
"They did," Jack said worriedly. "His jugular vein was completely severed by a sharp blade."
That was the coroner's preliminary finding. When Jack saw Wayne’s body, he could even see the bones inside. It was a gut-
wrenching sight.
Luke was not that interested in Wayne's death. He was so concerned because Wayne might have known something about
Bianca's disappearance.
Now that Wayne was dead, Luke had no other leads.
His phone started ringing. He went to the balcony before answering it."
What is it?"
The call was from Percy. "I've found the man you want. My men have just tied him up. Where do you want me to deliver him?"
"Your house," Luke said. Ever since he found out that Xavier had harassed Bianca the morning she went missing, they had been
trying to find the man. Xavier had hidden himself well, and it took them so long to find him.
"I'll go over now." He left the balcony immediately.
Luke went to tell Jack. "You can call me if you need anything, Dad. I have to go now." "Alright then. I won't bother you." Jack
waved his hand, indicating understanding.
As far as he knew, Luke was only a businessman, and he would not be of much help in these circumstances. He was afraid that
his political enemies would take the opportunity to bring him down and bring trouble to his wife and daughter.
Meanwhile, Percy looked at Xavier, who was bundled up like a burrito. He smiled sinisterly and told the driver, "Back to the
mansion." "Yes, Sir," the driver replied and started the car.
Xavier tried to struggle, but his entire body was tied up, and he found it hard to even wiggle his toes.
Sensing movement, Percy turned his head and glanced at him. He did not want to get himself involved, but his subordinates
called him to tell him that they found Xavier at a ranch in the outskirts.
Without hesitating, he drove there to capture Xavier himself. As expected, he found Xavier there and tied him up.
Xavier glared at him and did not say anything.
He had been hiding at the ranch for the past few months. The only time he left the place was when he went to warn Bianca.
He did not want to flee abroad. He hid there so that he could dig up some dirt on Luke.
Unfortunately for him, he did not manage to prevent Bianca from being abducted, and his hiding spot was found. Even so, Xavier
did not beg for mercy.
The car drove back to Percy's mansion.
After Percy got out of the car, he told his subordinates, "Bring him to the living room. We'll hand him to Luke when he comes."
"Yes." Two burly men came over, picked Xavier up, and went to the living room.
Percy sauntered to the wine cellar and selected a few bottles of red wine from his collection. He would be bringing those to
Nina's mansion later.
"Sir, Mr. Crawford is here," the butler said as he walked into the cellar.
"That's fast." Percy was still holding onto a bottle of wine, not expecting that Luke would arrive so quickly. He handed another
bottle of red wine to the butler, "Open and decant this."
The butler took the bottle and went away.
Percy selected a few more bottles. He would bring them along with him.
Back in the living room, he saw Luke sitting opposite Xavier.
He went over and asked him, "Did you manage to find out anything?"
Luke stared intently at Xavier. He had been sitting there for five minutes, and Xavier did not say a word.
Seeing that no one said anything, Percy shrugged, sat down on the couch, crossed his legs, and stared at Xavier. He might be a
captive now, but he was not going to divulge what he knew so easily.
The butler brought the decanter and several glasses to the living room." Your wine, Sir." "Mm." Percy poured two glasses of wine
and handed one of them to Luke. He took the other one, leaned back on the couch, and looked at Xavier lazily.
Seeing that the two people were looking at him, Xavier closed his eyes to avert their gazes.
Luke chuckled and took out a stack of documents from his briefcase.
"You brought something? What is it?" Percy picked up the documents curiously and flipped through them. "I didn't expect you to
do this. Not bad, Xavier, I can see that you've been a burden to your father."
Xavier opened his eyes. "Just kill me."
It was his misfortune to be captured.
"Look at this." Percy brought the document in front of Xavier and flipped to the first page.
Xavier's eyes widened when he saw the document. "How dare you do this, Luke Crawford!" "Where is Bianca?" Luke crossed his
arms in front of him. His tone was low and sinister, like a devil.
Xavier clenched his fists and glared at Luke. "Relinquish those shares."
The document indicated that Luke was one percent away from holding a dominant stake in Tanner Corporation.
The purchases were done in secret. The Tanners were not aware of that.
Percy could not help but chuckle when he saw Xavier’s bloodshot eyes. He thought that Luke would not be able to make Xavier
open his mouth so easily.
'How... boring.'
He took a sip of his wine and decided to let Luke do his thing.
"Tanner Corporation will be safe as long as I can find Bianca," Luke said gloomily. In other words, if Xavier did not cooperate with
him, he would not hesitate to ruin the business.
Xavier's eyes were blood-red. He knew that Luke had been putting all his time and effort into searching for Bianca, but he did not
expect that Luke had been trying to take over his family business at the same time.
He truly regretted offending Luke.
"I don't know where she is," Xavier said hoarsely. If Tanner Corporation fell, his livelihood would be gone.
Luke did not believe it. "You've been hiding in the ranch, and you only appeared on the day that Bianca went missing. Don't try
my patience, Xavier Tanner. You might be tough, but the rest of your family isn't as tough as you."
The fear in Xavier's heart grew. He knew that Luke was capable of carrying out his threats.
If Luke did not spare Tanner Corporation, then Tanner Corporation would surely fall!
