Chapter 376
Marcus‘ breathing grew heavy. At that same moment, Stephen also pieced it together that the homeless man was Andy.
On the third day of Andy’s disappearance, Stephen and Marcus finally found a lead, but Andy had become homeless!
The two of their minds buzzed with disbelief. To think the son of the Whites had been reduced to a beggar!
Stephen looked at the owner angrily, grabbed him by the collar, and growled, “Where is he? What did you do to him?”
The owner shook Stephen’s hand off and said, “This video was taken by someone beyond the borders. We’re not sure where he is. If you’re accusing us of doing something to him, that’s unfair. We don’t have a clue how he ended up there.”
Stephen and Marcus felt a little dumbfounded.
Andy was beyond the border, and it was not the South Regent who took him?
“Send him back immediately!” Stephen ordered the owner.
However, the owner said, “Only if you pay up, and it’ll take time. After all, finding someone beyond the border is no small task.”
The region outside had always been chaotic, with armed conflicts happening constantly, let alone robberies. Anyone lost there faced constant danger, and it was nearly impossible to guarantee their safety.
Stephen left with Marcus. Now that they had news of Andy, they needed to act quickly. Every second Andy spent beyond the borders meant greater danger to him.
Marcus called the Whites. “I have news of Andy.”
“Where is he?”
“Beyond the borders.”
“What?” The Whites were shocked. “Why would he be beyond the borders?”
“I don’t know,” Marcus reported honestly.
“Useless! I’ll send you some men. Find him immediately!”
With that, the Whites hung up.
Meanwhile, Stephen was also preparing to send his men over the borders to search for Andy. Together, they gathered over a hundred men, all dispatched to track Andy down.
Not stopping there, Stephen spread the word online, promising a large reward for anyone

beyond the border who could help them find Andy. Stephen believed that with enough money on th
line, someone would locate him soon.
However, the people beyond the border made a false report, leading Stephen’s men to a fake location or disappear after taking the money. Stephen was scammed out of millions!
He had to add a requirement that the person had to provide a photo of Andy. Although that stopped the scammers, the news brought some unwanted attention to Andy.
Word got out that someone was offering big money to find him, and people began to realize he was no ordinary guy. Soon enough, people started hunting him down, hoping to make a fortune off of him.
Over the past three days, Andy had been assaulted countless times. He used to pride himself in his fighting skills, thinking few could take him down. However, he was getting beaten every day now.
He would be beaten if he looked at someone too long, walked too fast, or even sat somewhere for a while. At first, he bought back, but he was always outnumbered and no match for them. Now, his whole body ached, and he had not had a proper meal in a long time, leaving him with very little strength.
The map the South Regent had given him had long been stolen. At that point, he could not tell which direction Riveria was in anymore. All he could do was ask people along the way and keep pushing forward, fighting through the pain.
At 7 p.m., Andy was starved, thirsty, and tired. He felt like he could not hold on much longer. He leaned against a wall and slowly slid to the ground.
Looking up at the sky, he realized the region beyond the border was too underdeveloped. Electricity and streetlights were rare, making the stars shine brighter. However, he did not have the energy to admire them. He was almost fainting from starvation.
Then, out of nowhere, a soft click sounded behind him, and the door of a house opened.
