บท 410: The Final Step

Reality was sometimes full of drama.

After Senator Murphy's youngest son was kidnapped, many people were prepared for a good showdown. They wanted to find out — considering that someone had dared to kidnap a member of a consortium that practically ruled over the heavens in North America, were these kidnappers too bold or too stupid?

However, this incident ended too quickly, almost catching everyone off guard. It was even rather anticlimactic.

The kidnappers had released their hostage.

When Murphy had rushed back from Yellowstone Park on a private jet, what he was greeted with was his unharmed young son.

The news report pointed out that the kidnappers let him go because they heard about the power and financial resources of the Murphy Financial Group. They realized that who they had kidnapped was not a fat sitting duck but a ticking time bomb, so they dutifully let him go.
