The other side also promised, "No problem."They hung up.Joshua felt a little better.Yerick was watching his every move, so the people on his side quickly told Yerick about his phone call.Yerick asked Nadia to find out who Joshua was calling.She found nothing."Did you not say you could heck anyone except K?" Yerick felt that Nadia was messing with him."The person talking to Joshua is either my mentor or my mentor had encrypted it. Judging from the interception I encountered during the investigation just now, it should be someone who my mentor had helped before, the person who helped them to design an extremely secure mobile phone system," Nadia said with certainty.Cynthia pondered.The people she had helped were probably nobody, but she had sold a mobile phone system with strong security before.She only sold to five people.Would Joshua have anything to do with those people?"Are you sure the person he contacted was not K?" Yerick asked."I am. If it is my mentor,
A lot could happen in a short period of time. During their voyage, Yerick Baker made a phone call to Joshua. The message was simple: there was a place Joshua needed to go, and once there, someone would lead him to Cynthia. This was something Cynthia remained oblivious to. Cynthia had stayed aboard the ship, intent on exploring its entirety during their journey. However, Yerick quickly put an end to that intention. As another day passed, they found themselves merely five minutes away from Queneska Island. It was then that Yerick's men blindfolded Cynthia and Jayleen. Slowly, the ship approached and docked at Queneska Island. If Cynthia had been able to see, she would have spotted an array of large signal-jamming towers and menacing figures clad in black, all armed to the teeth. They had the island on complete lockdown. Regrettably, Cynthia was unaware of all this. She did not realize that the danger she was about to face was far greater than she could ever imagine, nor did she kno
At that moment, a thought sprung into her mind. Riley and Captain must not come here. Yerick had arranged such a massive show of force. Even if Riley and his crew were to show up, nothing about the situation would change. The scale of the operation, numbering at least in the hundreds, was not something they could overcome with stealth. Yerick's personality was such that the fall of even a single man would trigger an immediate counterattack, a risk she was not willing to take. Considering all this, she reached for the tiny, grain-sized tracker that Captain had given her. Nonchalantly, she popped it into her mouth, biting down hard before swallowing. This tiny device was delicate; it could not be crushed or ground up, and she could not simply throw it on the ground and crush it underfoot, not without alerting Yerick. The safest method was to crush it with her teeth and swallow it. Meanwhile, Matthew was in his car with a friend decked out in full military gear. As Matthew was running
"Ms. Yates, are you satisfied with your current situation?" Yerick asked, donning a long camel-colored coat and carrying a pink suitcase. Cynthia's eyes rested on the luggage. She suspected that the animosity between Yerick and Joshua might be connected to the owner of this pink suitcase. Maintaining her composure, she continued her verbal dance with Yerick, "Possessing illegal firearms, operating a private armed force; do you realize the number of years you could be sentenced for these crimes?" "I do, but what does that matter?" Yerick replied casually. A frustrated crease formed on Cynthia's forehead. This was not going her way. "Boss, our guest has arrived," one of the bodyguards announced. Upon hearing the news, a satisfied smirk graced Yerick's lips. "Bring him in." With that command, Joshua was brought forward. He was wearing a white shirt that made his complexion appear pale. Nonetheless, his aura of cool indifference remained undiminished. As Cynthia met his gaze, he,
"You're still so naive..." Yerick enunciated each word slowly, not perturbed in the slightest by the knife at his throat. Instead, he issued a command, "Break Cynthia's leg." "If anyone touches her, I will kill him instantly." Joshua drew the knife a little deeper. However, this threat did not deter the others as planned. They aimed their guns at Cynthia's legs. In a flash, Cynthia acted swiftly, snatching one man's gun and knocking him to the ground! Capitalizing on the moment of surprise, she pushed Jayleen over the cliff edge and called out to Nadia below, "Get her safely back to Nexuria!" "What about you?" Nadia asked her. She did not expect Cynthia to be revealed as 'k'. When she got on the yacht and left the signal-jamming area, she opened her computer, intending to track down her mentor, hoping she could find some information. Instead, she found the unexpected letter her mentor had sent to her. It was then... She found out that Cynthia was 'k', her mentor. Recall
If Yadier had not been arrested and had not been sentenced to death, Dani would not have been so distraught, nor would she have taken her own life. He would not have lost his only sister. All of this was caused by Joshua. Yerick's thoughts became more radical as he continued, his grin never fading, "If she hadn't spent that night by the sea, she wouldn't have caught a fever, and she wouldn't have told me she needed to clear her mind here." As he spoke, Cynthia was busy going through her mental archives. Dani? A boyfriend sentenced to death? Yerick? As she tried to put the pieces together, a matching profile emerged in her mind. Uncertain if her guess was accurate, she decided to ask him, "Was your sister Dani Gibson?" "You are smart indeed," Yerick confirmed, albeit indirectly. He had taken his father's surname, while his sister had taken their mother's. After their parents passed away, Dani was his only concern. However, Joshua had caused her death. "The arrest of her boyfrien
However, Joshua reacted swiftly and blocked him. Yerick used this moment to swiftly distance himself from Joshua, breaking free of his control. Right at that moment, Cynthia aimed the gun she had snatched earlier at Yerick. "Make another move, and I won't hesitate to shoot." Upon her threat, everyone around her pointed their guns at her and Joshua. Cynthia had always known that Yerick was skillful and full of trickery. Otherwise, their small team would not have suffered such a loss at his hands. "Do you think you can threaten me? After you shoot me, they'll shoot you." Yerick seemed unfazed. Maintaining her aim at him, Cynthia pulled Joshua behind her. Only when she touched him did she understand what Yerick meant by Joshua having a fever. She felt the heat radiating from him even through the brief contact. "You can kill me. However, you'll die before I do. That means when you meet Dani in the underworld, you won't be able to answer when she asks if Joshua is dead or alive,"
There were people below to catch her; Cynthia would be fine. As for the ones above, he would hold off Yerick and his men. He had promised her safety. When Cynthia caught sight of the yacht below, she understood the plan. As she began her fall, she swiftly grabbed Joshua with her gun-bearing hand and yanked him down with her. In the same instant, a stack of playing cards appeared in her other hand, which she rapidly flung at Yerick and his men. The entire sequence occurred in a matter of one or two seconds. Yerick had not anticipated their sudden action; as Cynthia and Joshua began their descent, his face was scratched by the flying cards Cynthia had thrown. Several armed men nearby were also injured by Cynthia. Splash. Both plunged into the water simultaneously. The people on the yacht immediately fished them out. Just as Joshua got on board and was about to pull Cynthia up, he saw Yerick at the edge of the cliff, gun aimed at them. It was aimed at Cynthia! Bang! A bu
