Meanwhile, Lucille had no idea about what was happening with Jaden and George. She identified the coordinates and circled the cave, but found no alternate path to enter it. As she was about to leave, she furrowed her brows and quickly turned to her right. Her eyes met with a pair of green eyes lurking in the grass. They looked extremely bright yet eerie under the night sky. Then, another pair showed up. And another.Lucille felt a chill down her spine. She reached her hand to her back, but as she touched Desert Eagle, she stopped and retracted her hand. She shouldn't fire her gun right now. At this moment, she wasn't thinking about Spencer or any other human. She was thinking about Caesar, who was enjoying his time playing at Sparrow Residence. Lucille could have dealt with this trouble more easily if Caesar had been here. But since she was so far away in the mountains, Caesar couldn't solve the immediate crisis. A wolf's speed was three times that of a human's. Even i
Lucille had no idea how to get herself away from the wolves. If she shot at them, she might alert the Echelon 103. But if she didn't shoot at them, there was no way she could face the wolves with her bare fists. If it had been a person instead of wolves, however, that would have been a different story. Wolves' agility and fighting prowess were unpredictable. It would be impossible for Lucille to win against them without any equipment. Besides, she wasn't sure if more wolves were hiding nearby aside from the seven before her eyes. Wolves thrived in packs. Once they gathered, there was no hope for Lucille to escape. She had no choice but to outsmart her way to safety. She recalled seeing a tall tree not too far behind her, about a fraction of a mile. Considering the short distance, she was confident she could outrun the wolves. With that idea in mind, she no longer hesitated. With a quick turn, Lucille made a dash for it. The wolves, who were lurking in the grass, immedia
The sky started to turn bright. Lucille let out a long sigh of relief after the phone call with Spencer. She looked around and saw a light layer of white mist enveloping everything, rendering the scenery surreal and dreamy. The temperature in the mountain was much colder compared to the outside. Lucille had gotten hot from the constant movement and tension earlier. But after resting for a while now, she felt slightly colder. She looked down the tree and saw that the wolves were still there. They seemed to be more patient than she was. Given the situation, Lucille figured she might as well catch some rest while leaning against the tree. …Meanwhile, George suddenly stopped when he realized something was off after chasing Jaden to a stretch of road. "What's wrong, Commander Lawton?" Maverick asked. "This isn't right. That person deliberately lured us here," George said with a stern look. Dante asked, "Why would they lure us here though?" The men became extremely aler
The problem was that Lucille couldn't exactly have George know that she was here. She told Jaden, "Leave this to me. You continue keeping an eye on them." Then, Lucille turned on a special app on her phone and keyed in a specific website.Meanwhile, at the Dark Chamber, the detection screen of K Alliance started beeping. Everyone in the monitoring room got tensed immediately, and someone quickly tracked down the last location. "Quick, tell Abyss that we've tracked down Zing's IP address!" Someone shouted. After two minutes, Lucille turned off the app after she had completed her task. Now, it was up to George if he believed in her. It would be best if the children could be saved before they were sent off to their destination. Otherwise, they would have to think of another plan. After the Dark Chamber's microchip was restored, it was as though all of their equipment had been upgraded. So, they were finally able to track down Zing's estimated location. Abyss looked at the
"Keep looking for the markings they left," Ruben ordered. "Elara, turn on the system and track down their location. They should be on the move. They won't be in the same place." "Roger," Elara replied before taking a tablet from her backpack and tapping away. Not long later, she handed the tablet to Ruben and said, "Mr. Gale, Ms. Lucy and Jaden are in different locations. They're probably rushing as quickly as possible. Right now, Jaden is the closest to us." Then, Ruben split the team into two to meet up with Lucille and Jaden. He had Beatrice, Bethany, and five members of his team search for Lucille, whereas Elara searched for Jaden with Mildred and the rest of the team. Meanwhile, George's phone suddenly rang before quickly stopping. He'd thought there wouldn't be any signal on his phone in such a remote place. But when his phone rang, he subconsciously stopped. Before they entered the forest, George had reported to Chandler, and he thought Chandler had replied. But wh
"Sir, they've exited the cave and are coming toward us," Kent reported to Spencer. "Also, they have Mr. Chuck Brown and a girl with them." Spencer said coldly, "Alright. Give the order that the children must not be harmed, and leave at least one survivor." Kent nodded and quickly left to pass the order. Lucas glanced at Spencer and said, "You've promised the Brown family to personally come and save Chuck. This should count as returning their favor, right?" Connor added, "If Neva Brown hadn't shamelessly made this request, Spence wouldn't have to come all the way to save the kid himself." Spencer remained silent before saying, "It wasn't completely because of her." He had come for another reason—he'd found out that those kidnappers were from Echelon 103. He had always kept what Ian said in mind. Besides, Lucille had once asked Hunter's men to search for the members of Echelon 103. Plus, they had also stolen something from Spencer once. Regardless, he wanted payback fro
"Please, everyone," Lucille pleaded. "I'm just here to pick some herbs to save someone. I have no ill intention. The herb is just right around here. I'll leave once I find it, okay? I won't get in your way. Please!" "No! Please leave immediately!" Colton said sternly. "Please, sir! Saving a life is the highest form of virtue. I'll leave once I get the herb. Plus, you're hidden in the dark. How would I dare to do anything stupid? If you're really worried, you can have someone monitor me. "I promise I'll leave once I get the herb. I won't get in the way of your work, and I won't tell anyone about your presence," Lucille said. Colton remained silent. He hadn't expected Lucille to be so chatty. She just stood there and kept talking non-stop.It was as if she wouldn't give up until she got the herb she wanted. "Captain Mercer, she'll disturb us if she doesn't leave," someone said. Colton narrowed his eyes and said, "All of you stay at your places. I'll go." Lucille stood ther
Connor was in disbelief, but that was the truth. Spencer noticed Connor's surprised reaction and furrowed his brows. "What happened?" Spencer asked. "A member of Scarlet Wyvern Team Beta reported," Connor replied with a sour look. "They said Colton got captured by a woman." Connor creased his forehead and continued, "They said the woman climbed up from the cliff, saying she was there to pick some herbs and would leave once she got them. "She wasn't one of the people they were targeting, so they didn't do anything to her. Who would've thought…" Spencer pressed his lips. "Just one woman?""Yes, just her." Connor was confused. Who could this woman be? How had she managed to capture Colton alive and escape Scarlet Wyvern Team Beta unharmed? He didn't know if he should praise the woman's prowess or criticize Scarlet Wyvern Team Beta for underestimating her. "But they also mentioned the woman had no ill intention and just wanted to leave. She only captured Colton to ensure her
