Stella had previously received an anonymous email sent from the border.
Hearing that his brother wanted to go to North Myanor, Jason panicked. "No way. Going there is a death wish. The corruption runs way too deep."
No one in their right mind dared to step foot in North Myanor. It was a lawless hub for violent scammers, constantly headlining the news for their brutality.
Julius looked agonizingly pained. "Without her, I'm just a walking corpse. I can't survive."
For days, he had been drowning in guilt and regret. He couldn't fathom a future without Stella by his side.
"Don't do anything rash. We don't know for sure she was taken there. She's incredibly smart and capable. Maybe she just got held up by something and can't get back right now."
Jason knew how deeply Julius loved her. In all their years as brothers, he had never seen Julius treat any woman like this.
When the Jeter, Ford, and Harper families had offended Stella, Julius hadn't hesitated to make them lose hundreds of millions overnight.
When she wanted to go to Mistralia Country for a competition, Julius had postponed billion-dollar meetings just to accompany her—thankfully, Jason had been there to salvage the deals.
Not being able to go with her this time, only for her to disappear, had to be tearing his brother apart.
But Stella was a force of nature. She was a master at archery, street racing, dirt biking, and medicine. She wouldn't be taken down easily.
"She has to be there. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lost her trail completely."
Jason thought for a moment before offering a solution. "How about this? Go to Uncle Vincent first. Have him send his men to track her down.
Once we have a solid lead, we can figure out the next step. It's much better than you charging in blind."
His brother was usually the most calculating man in the room, but when it came to Stella, he lost all sense of reason.
Ever since falling for her, Julius had been completely ruled by his heart.
Jason couldn't just let him march off to his death.
Besides, he believed in his sister-in-law. She wasn't an idiot; she wouldn't fall for a trap so easily.
