At this moment, it was as if Lauren and Quinn were connected in spirit.

"Pauline, may I take a look at the child inside?

"

Pauline was stunned for a moment, but she did not reject Quinn.

"That's good too. If you talk to her, she won't have so much resentment, and it will help you better on the road to success. However, this child can't talk, and you can't touch her either.

"

Quinn let out a sigh of relief, things had gone unexpectedly smoothly.

"Master, please come out for a moment. I have some questions I'd like to consult you about.

"

Perhaps they were confident that nothing would go wrong, so Irene and Pauline allowed Quinn and Lauren to be alone with each other.

The master had just walked out from the other side of the folding screen when Quinn walked in from the other side.

When Quinn saw the child in the cage, he was shocked beyond words.

He did not expect them to put a child in the cage.

However, the child was wearing black clothes and a mask. Quinn was not sure if this person was Lauren.

There was someone else on the other side of the folding screen. Quinn could not say anything that would expose their identity. He couldn't make any strange noises, or else they would definitely find out.

Quinn stood in front of the cage, not knowing what to do.

He squatted down, wanting to take a closer look.

As he didn't want to make the people on the other side of the folding screen suspicious, Quinn began to talk.

"I heard that you can help me on my path to fame more smoothly. I hope that you can bless my future star path to be smooth, and I will worship you well.

"

Quinn repeated the same words over and over again.

As he spoke, he tried to find an opportunity to confirm the identity of the child in the cage.

However, before Quinn could think of a solution, the child in the cage reached out her hand and grabbed Quinn's hand that was holding onto the railing.

In that instant, Quinn was able to confirm that the person in the cage was Lauren.

He did not know how he was able to confirm it, but his heart told him that it was her.

Lauren's small hands were still very warm, but they were stained with dust and were a little dirty.

Quinn raised his other hand and placed it on Lauren's hand.

In just a few short seconds, both of them had gained a lot of courage from each other.

If they dragged on, they would arouse suspicion.

Lauren hurriedly touched the lock on the cage and made a motion to turn the key.

Quinn immediately understood Lauren's intention.

However, before they could continue their conversation, Pauline spoke up.

"It's almost time. Quinn, come out. The ceremony is about to begin.

"

Quinn looked at Lauren, then he stood up and walked out.

"Quinn, hurry up and say hello to Master Maverick. This is your future benefactor.

"

Master Maverick?

Quinn turned around to face the man at the altar. It was only then that Quinn realized that he knew this man!

"Master Maverick?

"

"That's right, it's me. We meet again, Quinn.

"

"Why are you here?

"

Quinn was stunned. Unexpected events happened one after another. Quinn did not know who else he could trust.

Master Maverick smiled faintly as he waved the mahogany sword in his hand.

"I'm just making money while helping others at the same time.

"

Pauline asked,

"You two know each other?

"

"Master Maverick has been hosting our family's sacrificial ceremony.

"

"That makes things easier!

"

"Alright, the auspicious time has come. Let's begin!

"

Master Maverick waved his hand, and all the red candles in the room were lit up. The flickering light from the candles made everyone feel dizzy.

Pauline nodded.

"Quinn, take off your coat.

"

After saying that, Pauline went behind the folding screen and unlocked Lauren's cage.

She took Lauren out and pulled her to the altar.

Master Maverick put an iron basin on the ground and put some talismans in it.

Then he picked up a candle and threw it into the iron basin, where the talismans were instantly lit aflame, crackling in the fire.

Then, Master Maverick picked up a piece of paper with something written on it. Lauren identified it as her birth date and chart.

Of course, that was fake information. She had made it up.

Master Maverick muttered something to himself as he looked at the piece of paper. Then, he placed the piece of paper into the iron basin and burned it.

Lauren remained in the same position, waiting for the right moment to strike.

It seemed that the masterminds behind these missing children cases were all here. They could be caught in one fell swoop.

Suddenly, a sudden ringtone sounded.

Master Maverick was interrupted, and he was a little unhappy.

Irene apologized profusely and went out to answer the phone. She came back in less than ten seconds.

"Not good, something happened!

"
