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
"Are you saying there's a traitor among us, Ms. Lucy?" Elara asked. Elara, Jaden, and Mildred were all surprised as they looked at the five knocked-out men on the ground. They were all Ruben's men. Jaden furrowed his brows and said, "But they are all Mr. Gale's subordinates though."Lucille said with a cold expression, "No, Ben isn't the traitor." Of course, Elara and the others knew Ruben wouldn't betray Lucille. After all, Lucille and Ruben were very close to each other. "If that's the case, does that mean a traitor is hiding in The Grid?" Elara furrowed her forehead. "Should we let Mr. Gale know about this?" Lucille fell silent. Her eyes were covered in a layer of frost. She replied coldly, "Not now. If they're trying to lure me into a trap, I'll play along." She wanted to know who the mastermind behind this scheme was.Lucille's intimidating demeanor sent a chill down Jaden's and the others' spines, making them feel cold. They silently mourned for the mastermind for a
"Proceed with our plan!" Jasper added, "There's no way she can back off now even if she's found out about it." He chuckled before continuing, "Besides, she's not the kind who will back off when there's a problem. Don't worry. She'll definitely come to us." "Roger, sir," the man in black replied before leaving. …Meanwhile, Angelo received an encrypted text. "What do they mean, Angelo?" Trey had a confused look. "Why are we circling the forest again? Didn't they promise to meet us at the beach? Besides, it's about to rain soon. Do they expect us to walk around the forest in the rain?" Angelo narrowed his eyes and fell silent before saying, "Stop complaining. Just do exactly as they say." Then, the abductors circled the forest following the new map they had received. Lucille and the others observed their movements from a hidden corner.Jaden whispered, "Ms. Lucy, looks like they've changed their route." Lucille remained silent before whispering a plan to Elara, Jaden, a
Duo didn't even know how he'd met his end, much less had a chance to fight back. Meanwhile, Lucille, Elara, and Jaden darted out like phantoms in the rain. They were dressed in all-black outfits with hoods.They moved around so swiftly that the other five abductors saw shadowy figures flashing before their eyes and got kicked away by a powerful force before they could even react.Angelo took a few steps back from a strong kick on his chest. He clutched his chest as he glared at the person in black, who had popped out of nowhere. He roared, "You son of a bitch! You dare ambush me? You must be fed up with your life!" As Angelo was about to aim his gun, it got kicked away by a leg sweep. "If you can beat me, I'll allow you to shoot!" Lucille said. She had her hood up, which covered the top half of her face. Her tone was even colder than the raindrops falling on her body. Angelo noticed that the assailant was a woman. But given her intimidating presence, he didn't underestimate
