Chapter 1104 The Phantom Threat

Author: Night Eleven
No one understood what Aria was talking about, except Landon. "You're suspecting that someone was orchestrating the whole thing and setting up a trap for you."

"It's not just for me. That mastermind used the same tricks on the Carver family and the Hendricks family. They sought the incompetent sons in both families and worked their angles there."

Aria lowered her voice. "If my grandpa hadn't been a tough man, my brothers might've met the same fate as Daisy. Just look at how closely Paxton and Owen resemble each other. Although they weren't similarly aged, they could've been poker buddies if they got together."

Landon's lips couldn't help but curl into a grin when he heard what she said. It looked like a clue had just made itself seen.

"You're right. We have to think about this carefully. I think everything's settled here. How about I ask Sam to come back and make sense of the situation? It'll be a little troublesome, though. He's still recovering at Mount Dracotigris."

    The sudden noise shattered the tense atmosphere in the room. While Aria and Landon remained calm, Bale's eyes flickered with unease. He had yet to receive any updates from the man he sent out, yet Sam had already returned ahead of schedule.Aria walked toward the door. "I'm here. Was everything successful?"Instead of nodding or shaking his head, Sam turned his gaze toward Bale in silence. Aria immediately understood. Whatever Sam had experienced, Bale was at the center of it.Forcing himself to stay calm, Bale asked, "Ms. Carver, why is he looking at me like that? Did the officers I sent mistreat him?"Sam grinned. "Nope."Just as he finished speaking, several police officers burst into the room. "Mr. Peniche, we ran into some armed men in the mountains. They took the victims away!"Bale's eyes widened, and he kicked one of them hard. "So this is what happens when I put you in charge of their escort to the embassy? Aren't you ashamed of yourselves?"One officer lowered his

    Bale saw what Aria did, and his gaze hardened."Ms. Carver, what are you doing?""It looks like he was hurt badly. As fate would have it, I'm a doctor. So, I checked his pulse."Aria's eyes darkened as she pulled her hand back.Hearing that, Bale instantly tensed.He had arranged the entire setup so she would believe Byron and Deandre had escaped. He never suspected she was a doctor—he was unprepared for this."Ms. Carver, what can you tell from that?" Bale's voice dropped, deeper than usual. If Aria saw through the lie, he might be forced to take desperate action and eliminate his men right then and there.The police officers listening to Bale's tone immediately grew serious and alert.Aria glanced at Bale, her eyes as exquisite as ever. "I couldn't tell much from his pulse, but he's definitely hurt badly. We should send him to the hospital; otherwise, he might be in serious danger." Relieved, Bale turned and summoned two police officers."Take him to the hospital. Make s

    Bale suddenly stopped walking. He turned to face Aria, his expression scrutinizing. "I think I overlooked something. Can you prove that you're sent by the Farshyan officials?"Aria stepped forward and showed him her temporary ID. "My name is Aria Carver. This ID will verify who I am."Bale took the ID, nodding slowly. "I'll cross-check this with my superior. While I'm doing that, I'll need you and your friends to wait here."A man in a police uniform walked over and reported to Bale. "Mr. Peniche, we've subdued two of the small-time leaders of the fraud ring. One is Byron Alvarez, and the other is Deandre Alvarez."We've also arrested 15 bodyguards and rescued 40 victims. All communication devices, scripts, and other evidence have been sealed and stored at the department.""Take the victims to the embassy at once," Bale responded. "I don't want any accidents to happen."The officer froze for a moment before responding, "Understood, Mr. Peniche.""Ms. Carver, please wait a minute

    Deandre opened the door with a smile on his face. The first thing he saw was Aria sitting on a chair. "Well, hello there, hottie," he purred, walking toward her. "You are beautiful. It's been a long time since I've seen a woman this exquisite."Aria's eyes narrowed. "What are you going to do to me?""Isn't it obvious?" Deandre couldn't help but chuckle. "Do you really need to ask?"Aria drew her knees to her chest, trying to make herself small. "My boyfriend is outside. Don't come any closer."Deandre let out a raspy laugh. "Your boyfriend? He's on his knees right now. You're in my territory, and you have no choice."He lunged for her, but Aria was faster. She dodged his grasp and delivered a sharp kick.Instead of getting angry, Deandre's laugh grew louder. "That was quite a kick! The more you fight, the more I enjoy this." He glanced at the door. "Close it and get out. You two are in the way!""Understood, Mr. Deandre." The bodyguards quickly shut the door and left.Deand

    Phineas nodded solemnly. "Okay. I'll turn the car around now."Aria glanced at the others. "Everyone, I hope you won't fall for these so-called high-paying jobs anymore. Your lives are what matter most."They all nodded in response. Seeing that, Aria got out of the car with Landon and Sam in tow, heading in the direction Morton had pointed them. She couldn't be certain Morton's intel was accurate, but it was the only lead they had for now."There's a villa ahead with armed guards at the entrance," Landon said, stopping in his tracks. "There's barbed wire up top too. Looks like this is the place."Aria followed his gaze, then swept her eyes over the area. "Let's not get too close yet. There's a hill on the side. If we get up there, we might be able to see what they're doing and hear what they're saying. Let's scout from there first."A short while later, the trio crouched on the hill, observing the villa below. More than a dozen armed guards patrolled the grounds, clubs and stu

    Everyone nodded in agreement, looking like robots programmed with the same code. Only Aria and Landon exchanged a glance. When the plane touched down with a jolt, Aria casually rolled her neck. She knew they weren't in their home country anymore. From the moment they set foot on this foreign soil, they had to stay sharp and alert if they wanted to save these people from this international scam. The plane taxied slowly to the gate. Sunlight streamed through the windows, lighting up half the cabin while leaving the other half in shadow. One side looked like heaven, and the other looked like hell. "Get your stuff and stay behind me. Don't wander off." Morton stood up first, sounding less patient than he had back home. "Someone's picking us up outside. Remember—keep your mouths shut until we reach the company. Things work differently here." Everyone got up and popped open the overhead bins. After pulling out their bags, they followed Morton toward the door. Aria slowed down on pu
