Michael did not stop, as he continued heading towards the exit of the factory. At the same time, he responded, "Alex called me and told me that you had been kidnapped. He asked me to help out, and that is why I'm here."
Melvin was not that much surprised when she heard that. Even though she thought of the possibility of Michael being here coincidentally, the chances were quite minimal.
As for Alex informing him about this, that was something that she had already expected. After all, previously, they had already contacted her family, after they had recorded a video of her.
It was to be expected that Alex would try to look for help, considering that the relationship between the two siblings was good.
But it was quite a surprise, considering that even if the police were the ones that were supposed to find her, they might not have found her even now. She thought of the possibility that the police might have already been informed about her kidnap.
"Then, how did you get here fast?" Melvin asked curiously. Even though she already knew that Michael had a formidable background, she could not help but express her curiosity.
"I have my own channels of getting information. So, it was not that difficult for me to be able to guess that you might have been locked up here. That was why I came here, to see if you were here." Michael responded nonchalantly.
"Then, does that mean that you did not know that I was here for sure?" Melvin was left surprised by Michael's response.
"It is not that easy to be able to guarantee where they have placed you, especially considering that your phone is not here." Michael shrugged as he responded.
Melvin nodded as she thought about it. This area was at the very outskirts of the city. Additionally, there were no cameras around here, making it difficult for someone to be able to know about what was happening here.
It was quite a good place to be able to do some shady things, without being afraid of being noticed, unless someone deliberately came to search here.
And as she thought about the possibility of someone being able to find her in this place, she was even more amazed by Michael's capabilities. After all, it was not just this abundant factory that was located in the southern outskirts of the city.
There were quite a number of buildings within the southern outskirts of the city, and the area spanned for quite a few square kilometers. To search for someone here, it was a kin to searching for a needle in a haystack.
The two of them got out of the factory building, then out of the factory compound, and headed for the road.
Just like before, the place was quite desolate, with no any other person in sight.
When Melvin saw the car that Michael had come in, she was left surprised yet again. Today, she had experienced quite a number of surprises from Michael.
Just from the fact that he was the owner of Sky Technologies, Melvin did not believe that Michael could not afford a better car. But from the looks of it, he seemed to be the type that liked being low-key?
And that really seemed to be the case, considering that even the attire that Michael was wearing was not one of those flashy types. While the clothes that he was wearing were quite pricey, they were priced in terms of the quality, and not the brand.
Melvin swiftly got into the passenger's seat, before Michael began driving the car towards the Walter family residence.
Even though he had never been there before, Michael had already come to know about the location of the Walter family mansion, during the time that he had acquired the information on the powers within the city.
During the ride, both of them were silent, as they did not really know what to talk about. The two of them had only interacted once before, and this could be considered to be their second encounter.
As a result, they remained silent for quite a while, until they stopped at a police checkpoint.
The moment that they stopped, a police officer, a middle-aged man with a slightly haggard appearance approached the car. Michael rolled the car window down, before the police officer bent down slightly, to check who were in the car.
He focused on Michael first, scrutinizing him. At the same time, he spoke in a cold voice, "I want see your driver's license and vehicle registration."
Michael frowned slightly when he heard the police officer's words. This guy, could he not be a little polite?
Regardless, being someone who did not like unnecessary trouble, Michael simply took out his driver's license, the one that he had acquired from the system store, and the vehicle registration, before handing them over.
The officer did not bother much, as he took the two, before he began looking at them. For the vehicle registration, he just confirmed a few details, including the cars registration plate, if they matched with the documentation, before setting the vehicle registration aside.
But when it came to the driver's license, the officer could not help but frown. He looked at the card that Michael had given him, before he glared at Michael and asked, "Young man, I told you to give me your driver's license. I did not tell you to give me a membership card, did you not hear me clearly?"
Michael had expected such a reaction, considering that, the master class driving license that he had obtained from the system store was essentially different from the normal driver's license that could be found with the other drivers.
The size of the driver's license was just like any other, but it was completely black in color, with the name of the holder on the front, and a QR code at the back.
Apart from that, there was nothing else that showed that it was a driver's license at all. It was no wonder that this police officer thought that this was a membership card.
"That is my driver's license. You can just scan the QR code behind." Michael responded calmly.
Melvin, who was sitting on the passenger seat could not help but arch her brows slightly. She wondered, what was going on? She had also seen the driver's license that Michael was talking about, considering that the officer was trying to give it back to Michael when he questioned about Michael giving him a membership card instead of the driver's license.
In her life, she had never seen or heard of a driver's license that looked like this. Was it possible that this was something special, something that a few from the central province could get?
Despite what she was thinking, the officer outside was immediately irritated. He looked at Michael, and seeing that he was young, he got even more irritated.
"Kid, don't think that just because your father is someone, or your family is rich, you can act however you want outside. Let me tell you, if you don't cooperate, believe it or not, I will take you back with me to the station." The officer said with a frown on his face.
Michael could not help but let out a helpless sigh. At the same time, he could not help but wonder, was he not just supposed to check if the driver's license that he had given was legitimate or not?
How had this suddenly turned to be a young master flaunting his family's influence?
"Could you please scan the QR code behind first? That is my driver's license, you can confirm it with your system." Michael took a deep breath before he said.
He felt that this guy was kind of unusual, but he did not want to waste much time with him.
But upon hearing Michael's words, the officer seemed to have been provoked. So, he threw the vehicle registration back to Michael, and through the card on the ground, before he stomped on it.
"Okay, that's just great. So, you want me to know that this is some VIP membership card of some big entertainment place, so that I can be intimidated? Let me tell you, these tricks don't work on me.
So, you better take out your driver's license right now, or I will arrest you for driving without a driver's license." The officer spoke, while glaring at Michael with a cold expression on his face.
Michael could not help but frown. This time, this guy was being too much. Not to mention that he did not even try to verify if what Michael was saying was true or not, he had even thrown the car down, before stomping on it.
If he ended up destroying it, would he be responsible for it? After all, it had cost Michael a fortune to be able to obtain it from the system store. Even in real life, it would cost more than $1,000!
To be exact, the price of the acquisition of the master class driving license was 0.025 SP, which was equivalent $2,500. That was not a small amount for a driver's license.
Michael intended to open the car's door and pick up the card, when suddenly, Melvin, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke.
"What is with your attitude? He has given you the driver's license, and you have not even confirmed if it is true or not, and you are already making accusations? Do you believe that I will report you to your superiors?" Melvin asked in a harsh tone. She was also displeased by the attitude that was displayed by this officer.
The officer was just about to retort when suddenly, he noticed Melvin's appearance. Looking at how untidy she was, he suddenly asked, "So, this is what you are doing in broad daylight? This time, I'm taking you in."
