Masuk[But the people at the hospital said that Darius Brooks would be there tomorrow.]Natalie: [Go and wait there tomorrow. Check carefully whether it is really her.]After sending that message, she turned off her phone.Henry had already succeeded more than halfway, and the things she had been worried about did not happen. Up to this point, everything had gone relatively smoothly. What remained was only the matter of Darius Brooks and the current situation.The patrol continued until the final day. The sea remained unchanged, calm as ever, and the cargo ship that was supposed to arrive had still not appeared.Bianca suppressed his anger and walked into the monitoring room. “What exactly is going on?”
Several separate large screens in the surveillance room were all focused on the sea area.“Didn’t you mention that cargo ships would dock today?” Bianca pointed at the scattered, empty vessels on the screen. “Why is there no sign of them now?”This was exactly what everyone present was thinking.The boss rubbed his chin and let out a sigh. “This isn’t something we can control. All we can do is wait.”“If it drags on until the middle of the night, do we still have to wait?”“Yes.”Bianca knitted her brows. “We will only stay here for three days. Once the time is up, we leave.”
Natalie lifted her phone and took a picture of the car. The signal had not yet come back when, in the quiet garage, the sound of an engine suddenly echoed.Two straight beams of headlights cut through the darkness and reflected off the concrete pillars. Just as the car was about to drive inside, her gaze stiffened, and she retreated quickly.In Monarch’s garage, there was nowhere to hide except beneath the vehicle parked in the center.“Why did you bring me all the way to the garage?” A crisp, loud voice rang out suddenly.The car door opened, and a man and a woman stepped out.The man had refined features. Hearing the complaint, he gave a soft snort. “To broaden your horizons.”“Tch.” The woman clicked her tongue in disdain, her tone tinged with irritation. “It’s freezing in here. All the cars are parked outside anyway. Who would want to drive in here?”“Shut up.&rdquo
They did not head straight toward the coastal area. Instead, they chose another location. Before they could get close, voices drifted over from ahead.“New shipments are arriving in the next couple of days, so stay alert.”“A woman showed up today. Did Sombra get involved as well?”“Stop talking nonsense.”“.”The voices gradually faded. Natalie withdrew her gaze, turned to the man beside her, and spoke quietly. “They are talking about Bianca.”“Yeah,” he replied casually. His dark eyes remained fixed on something ahead. After a short while, he suddenly stood up.Catching her questioning look, Samuel moved his lips slightly and said softly, “Wait here. I’ll go inside and check.”“I’m going with you.” Natalie rose immediately.He glanced at her from the side. His gaze darkened a little, but he did not stop her.
Would Marcus truly entrust such a critical mission to the two of them?In the past, before all those chaotic incidents occurred, she would not have questioned it. But now, after everything that had happened, she was no longer naive enough to believe that she and Marcus could ever return to peaceful coexistence.“By the way, let Bianca bring the other two and work with you,” Marcus said as he walked a few steps with his hands behind his back. He suddenly turned around and added, “Bianca is the strongest seed among this year’s newcomers.”After speaking, he frowned slightly again. “Have Hunter take you to meet her and coordinate. You will depart for Country Y tomorrow.”Tomorrow? Wasn’t that too rushed?Their gazes met, and both saw something unusual in each other’s eyes, yet neither said a word.Once the assignment was given, Marcus dismissed them, noting that it was already getting late a
As soon as Natalie lay down, there was a knock on the door.A deep male voice came from outside. “Come out and put on some medicine.”Medicine?She subconsciously touched her forehead. Just as she was about to refuse, the door was pushed open.A tall figure appeared at the doorway. Samuel walked in casually, a medicine box in his hand, and headed straight toward her bed.There was no need for her permission at all.Sensing her obvious dissatisfaction, he lowered his head slightly, met her eyes, raised his brows, and said with a hint of teasing, “Too moved?”Natalie took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and said, “If you are going to apply medicine, hurry up. She is sleepy.”“Oh.”His movements were gentle. If not for his strong presence, she might not have noticed someone tending to her wound.After finishing, Samuel showed no intention of staying. He tidied up and tu
