Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1163 Going to Jacky's House to Look for Him

Getting out of the car, Santiago surveyed his surroundings. He lit a cigarette and took a puff of it while Hadrian stood aside and beheld the surrounding area of this place, Waverly Village. Initially, he had wanted to bring Scarlette along, but Santiago did not agree to bring a woman with them. Therefore, they had left her behind.

Hadrian was wearing a set of leather clothes. Santiago stood in front, smoking. Stuart was standing behind them in casual attire. The three of them got out of the car and were looking around. "What did the news say?" Santiago asked as he leaned against the car and took a drag of his cigarette. Stuart answered, "It's been said that Zorion took Rossie away from the Jack Town Hotel and never showed up here again."

"Even Zorion himself doesn't care, so why should we bother?" Santiago took another puff before he put out the cigarette by dropping it onto the ground and squashing it. Although he said that they shouldn't let this issue concern them, he still walked towards the Jack Town Hotel.

After entering, he glanced around before he found a seat and sat down. Following that, he blended in with the customers by ordering some food and starting to tuck into his meal.

While he was eating, someone came and sat across from him. Santiago lifted his head to look at the person, who was quite good-looking. Only then did Santiago stop eating and raked his eyes over his surroundings. Finding nothing amiss, he directed his gaze to the person across from him. "What can I do for you?"

"Outsiders are not welcomed here. You should leave after this meal. The bill is on me."

Listening to his words, Santiago took a piece of tissue paper and wiped his mouth. He leaned against the chair and asked, "Have I offended you in any way?"

"No, but you shouldn't have come here. I have heard about you. Your name is Santiago, and you are very famous in Capital City. However, this place is no Capital City. It's Waverly Village, a place ruled by Mr. Jacky. You shouldn't have set foot in here."

"I'm here for a meal, what's so wrong about this? You're doing business, aren't you?" Santiago asked, to which Logan smiled. "Oh, we are doing business, alright. Except for yours. This meal is on me. The end of your meal will see you walking out from here."

Getting up, Logan left, and Santiago continued to have his meal. Then, he stood up. "Investigate what's the grudge between Zorion and him."

"This person is called Logan. Before we came here, Mr. Jepherson had already asked someone to look into his background. The woman Zorion took away is called Rossie Lautner. I heard that it was Logan who looked after her when she was here. She was taken away forcefully, and a fight had broken out due to that."

Stuart reported to Santiago while they left Jack Town Hotel. Santiago turned to stare at Stuart. "Why didn't you tell me before we came here?"

"Before we came, I didn't expect to cross paths with him so soon," Stuart replied. Santiago gave him a push. "I'll settle the score with you after we go back."

After a few steps, something came to Santiago's mind, and he turned to stare at Stuart. "Did Zorion win the fight?"

"He did," Stuart answered quickly. If he hadn't won, then how could he have taken Rossie away? Stuart had heard that there were more than a dozen people in the other camp.

Santiago turned around and chewed over this affair as he walked. He observed the people around him and returned to the car to take a nap at the back. Stuart got into the front passenger seat whereas Hadrian was behind the wheel.

"Mr. Santiago, what are we going to do next?"

"Contact the informer and ask him to come and meet me. Leave here first, and let's not waste Logan's courtesy of having treated me to a meal," Santiago said as he began to take a nap.

Hadrian drove them out of Waverly Village. Stuart made a call to the informer in the village while Santiago was waiting in the car. It didn't take long for someone to come out of the village. It was an old man in plain, regular clothes. At most, only 'clean' would suffice to describe his style.

He walked to the side of the car, and Stuart got out of the car and opened the door for him. Afterwards, the man got into it.

Stuart checked around and made sure that no one was spying on them before he got into the car. They left.

"Hi, Mr. Santiago," the man greeted Santiago. Santiago sized him up. "You're one of our own. Drop the formalities."

While talking, Santiago took out a cigarette and offered it to the old man. The old man rejected initially, but Santiago insisted, and he obeyed Santiago at last. "Just take this, it will save you the trouble." The old man took the cigarette from Santiago's hand, and Santiago hurriedly took out his lighter to light it for him.

The old man was flattered that Santiago intended to light the cigarette for him.

"There's no need for that, Mr. Santiago. I have the lighter, I have it," said the old man while he was about to rummage for his lighter. Santiago stopped him. "It's my pleasure. You came here when you were young. You've spent your life and endured all kinds of hardships here. We, the Harvey family, have not expressed our gratitude to you. This is a small gesture I can handle."

The old man was taken aback momentarily. He put down his hand, lowered his head, and took a puff of the cigarette. Hadrian rolled down the window while driving slowly. Inside the car, the old man said, "No, if it weren't for the fact that Mr. Calvin had given me money and told me to come here, then I wouldn't have been able to live till this day."

"Let bygones be bygones. Don't worry about it. You must have heard about the reason I wanted to meet you." Santiago went straight to the point. The old man thought briefly before saying, "I've heard about it, but I don't know the details. I know there is indeed such a case."

"Mr. Santiago, tell me, what do you want to know?"

The old man was also a straightforward person. Santiago considered it for a short time. "I would like to know where Jacky is. Do you have any clues?"

"Not a problem. He may be a very powerful person, but he doesn't usually show his face outside. We have no idea what he does for a living. Although running Jack Town Hotel is profitable, it doesn't make a lot of money."

"Every day, his subordinates will stop by Jack Town Hotel to eat and drink, and their expenses are easily sky high. He is rather low-profile and not arrogant."

"I had seen him several times when he was a child. He looked even more beautiful than a girl."

"But later on, as he retired from the public eye, he stayed in a house in Waverly Village, where there's a plot of land outside. He likes farming. Sometimes, he will give the planted vegetables to us. It's just that he lives by that type of an-eye-for-an-eye philosophy. For those who provoke him, there would be h*ll to pay."

"His house should be in that direction."

"Bring me there," Santiago said, which caused the old man to shudder in fear. Santiago then comforted him by saying, "Since I'm asking you to go, I will guarantee your safety. Don't worry."

The old man was reassured. He was a lone man, so there was nothing to be afraid of. Now that Santiago had ordered him, it implied that Santiago thought highly of him. With such honor, he was willing to do it, even at the cost of his life.

Subsequently, the old man showed them the way and they went into Waverly Village. Santiago got down from the car, looked around, and walked forward. Stuart and Hadrian wanted to follow him, but he turned them down. What followed was his attempts in searching for Jacky from house to house.

After searching through a few houses, he did not find Jacky. There were only five or six houses there in total. Furthermore, they were all empty. There was no one in any of the houses. Going back to the car, Santiago said, "Not a soul in sight."

"What happened? There are people here at usual times." The old man also went out to search around. After making sure that there was indeed nobody there, he came back in bewilderment.

Santiago stood outside for a while. "Stuart, you and Hadrian should bring the old man back to his home. Remember to protect him."

"What about you, Mr. Santiago?" Stuart asked quickly. Santiago looked around. "I'm waiting for Deanna to come back."

"That won't do. If something happens to you, then we can't afford it. Mr. Santiago, let's go back together first and come here later."

"No, I can't wait any longer. Let's end this as soon as possible." Santiago refused to leave. He took out his phone and sent a text message to Cynthia, telling her not to call him. She received the message and no longer texted him.

"Get into the car and leave." Santiago stood outside the car. Stuart and Hadrian did not dare to refute his words, but they did not leave.

Seeing that, Santiago's face slackened. Only then did Stuart say no more and got into the car with Hadrian. They took the old man away, leaving Santiago alone in the village.
