Chapter 248

"Is this kidnapping?"

Scott put his hands in his trouser pockets again.

"What's your purpose in hijacking Ramiro?" He asked curiously.

"Get your hands out of your pockets!" The gun in the middle-aged man's hand pressed against the back of Scott's head.

"Tsk, be gentle." Scott held the wand and raised his hand.

"Don't be nervous." He waved his wand seemingly casually, "Are you still afraid of a small stick?"

"Don't move!" the man yelled loudly.

Ramiro said with some frustration: "I'm sorry, Scott, I didn't expect you to be involved."

"Hmph, since he is your cousin, he should have weight in Caleb's eyes, right?" Kendela smiled complacently, "With the two of you, things will go much smoother."

"So, what exactly is it?" Scott asked again, "You want the Hill family to pay ransom?"

"Almost." Kendela smiled mysteriously, without specifying.

"Forget it." Scott sighed, "I still want to see if I can get something out of it, but it really isn't that easy."

"Boy, have you watched too many silly Hollywood movies?"

The middle-aged man behind Scott laughed loudly.

"Don't you think you can be a hero if you have a gun?"

Candela said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, we must take them away immediately, otherwise the girl just now will call someone over."

As she spoke, she moved her hand to Ramiro's waist again, telling him to turn and walk forward.

"Have you heard that, let's go!"

The middle-aged man hit Scott on the back of the head with a pistol again.

"I can't stand it now," said Scott, waving his wand again.

The next second, the plants on both sides of the "maze" suddenly moved.

Their branches grow wildly in an instant, like a group of snakes dancing wildly.

Before the two robbers could react, the branches had tied them tightly and dragged them to the ground.

"you you you you……"

The two robbers seemed to have been frightened and stupid at this time, and even forgot to struggle.

"You are the devil!"

Both looked at Scott in horror.

"It really hurts."

Scott rubbed the back of his head.

"What a devil, I'm a wizard!"

He walked up to the middle-aged man and kicked him hard.

"Oh Scott!" Ramiro ran to Scott and said incoherently, "You...you you you...you are a wizard?"

His voice cracked when he spoke.

"Calm down, cousin."

Scott reached out and patted his back hard.

"What's going on with these two people?"

"Oh, this old woman is not Candela!" Ramiro said angrily.

"I know!" Scott said angrily, "I was asking you what happened."

Ramiro said to himself: "But I suspect that Candela is with them!"

He took a breath before talking about what happened, "It was Candela who asked me to bring her here to play today, but we separated for a while in the maze, and Candela suddenly disappeared, and then this woman appeared."

"That is to say, they may have another companion hiding nearby?" Scott became vigilant again.

Ramiro swallowed and nodded.

"It's really troublesome. I wanted to save some of it." Scott sighed, took out a small thumb-sized glass bottle from his pocket and handed it to Ramiro.

"Give one of them some of this," he said.

"This is?" Ramiro looked curiously at the small glass bottle in his hand, shaking half of the transparent potion in it.

"Veritaserum." Scott said angrily, "I got it with great difficulty. You must use it sparingly. Three drops per person is enough."

"Veritaserum?" Ramiro widened his eyes excitedly.

He squatted down in a hurry, and happily fed the woman with medicine.

"Passed out."

Scott cast a Stunning Charm on the man.

Ramiro turned his head and looked at Scott in amazement, then muttered while feeding the woman medicine.

"One, two, three, three drops, that's it."

Seeing him looking up at himself, Scott said helplessly, "Ask, she will only tell the truth now."

"Veritaserum... is this really true?" Ramiro's eyes lit up instantly.

Scott nodded affirmatively.

Ramiro coughed excitedly, and asked the woman in a deep voice, "Tell me your purpose! Also, where is Candela?"

The woman said drowsily, "Our purpose is to kidnap Ramiro Hill, the youngest son of the Hill family, in order to negotiate terms with Caleb Hill. Candela was knocked out and thrown in a corner of the maze."

"Oh Candela is not with them!" Ramiro said happily.

Scott glanced at him and asked the woman, "What terms do you want to negotiate with Caleb?"

"Tracking down an antique map," the woman said.

It's actually related to the Lace map!
Scott frowned.

"What antique map?" Ramiro was a little puzzled.

"We don't know," the woman replied, "We're just following instructions."

Scott narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who ordered you?"

The woman replied, "A man we don't know."

Scott thought it through in an instant.

It seems that someone secretly hired these two desperadoes to test them out.

Perhaps the other party is not sure whether the map of Reis is really in Hill's house.

However, this pair of desperadoes probably knew only so much.

"When and where do you plan to meet next time?" Scott asked again.

"There is no appointment to meet," the woman said. "The man said that if we have the whereabouts of the antique map, as long as I dye my hair red, he will know and pay us the balance."

Scott cast a Stunning Charm on the woman, then used the spell to wake the man, and had Ramiro give him three drops of Veritaserum.

He and Ramiro asked the same question again, and got the same answer from the man.

After making sure there was nothing more to gain, Scott hit the man again with the Stunning Spell.

Then he waved his wand again, and the plants that had wrapped around the two of them returned to their original shape.

"What's going on here?" Ramiro stood up in confusion, "Why didn't I know that our house has an antique map that makes people want?"

Scott bent down and picked up three guns, handing one of them to Ramiro.

Then, he held out his palm to Ramiro again.

"What?" Ramiro asked pretending not to know.

"Veritaserum," Scott said.

"Oh dear cousin, can't you give it to me?" Ramiro was very reluctant.

"No." Scott said, "Everything about the wizard must be kept secret, otherwise it will be messed up."

Ramiro reluctantly put the vial in Scott's hand, and at the same time muttered, "Are all wizards so stingy? What's wrong with giving us some magic."

Scott put away the veritaserum, and said angrily, "You'd better find a way to contact Uncle Caleb, otherwise, what shall we do here?"

"Oh yes!" Ramiro glanced at the two unconscious people on the ground, and took out a black mobile phone from his pocket to dial.

"Oh my god! They're all right!"

At this moment, Benita ran over with the driver who drove for them today, and they were accompanied by a group of staff belonging to El Capricho Park.
