Chapter 1903 A Talk With Desmond

Author: Night Eleven
Sawyer was only worried about Piper. As long as she made it back safely, he knew he'd be fine. Someone had definitely ratted him out, but they didn't have enough real evidence to nail him.

The only way they could bring him down was if they somehow forced a confession out of him.

Piper studied his face, and worry filled her eyes. "Dad, did they do anything to you?"

Sawyer shook his head. "No, they haven't touched me. They have to wait for their investigation to wrap up."

She dropped her voice to a whisper. "Mr. Ordman came too. He can get you out of here."

Sawyer's gaze sharpened the moment he heard those words. "Finnigan holds a special position in the government. If he pulls strings to save me, it'll spark even more controversy. He might even lose his own standing."

Piper looked at Sawyer. "Then what are we supposed to do now?"

Sawyer tapped his fingers. "We wait."

"Wait?" Piper couldn't understand his logic. "How can we just wait when things are this bad?"

    Before Wesson could reply, Aria hung up. He cursed as the call ended, fury boiling over. "Fuck! Aria, you're going to pay for this with your life!"Wesson's urge to kill Aria had reached a fever pitch. Ever since the researchers had been rescued, she had ruined every one of his plans. He had never paid her much heed before, but now she topped his kill list.Wesson had been tracking Aria and the others through Los Stratos nonstop. While he suspected she might head to Mecira, he hadn't expected her to unmask Dashiell as the mole. From the looks of it, there was no way to stop Dashiell from returning to Farshya.Once the truth came out, international investigators would follow the trail straight to Wesson. When that happened, it would be the end of him. Thinking that, he knew he needed a way out, or his life was ruined."Mr. Laker, calm down." His assistant, Remy Wilder, tried to soothe him. Wesson turned to Remy. "What did you find out? Any private flights that departed in th

    Aria could tell that Dashiell losing money just as he started gambling could be a setup all along. It was just so that Wesson could get Dashiell to do his bidding. Dashiell's gaze wavered. "Now that it's come to this, there's no hope of escaping for me. Still, I know you can't touch Wesson.""Let me worry about that." Aria lowered her voice. "I know you met Hogan downstairs. He wanted to get you out of here, but you had other plans. If you could clear your name, you could have kept your post as Deputy Secretary of Defense.""Hogan?" Dashiell's mind spun. He had been on an emotional roller coaster and had almost forgotten Hogan. If Hogan knew he'd been exposed, he'd send someone to rescue him. The thought steadied Dashiell slightly.Aria didn't look at him. She leaned over her laptop, logged into an encrypter, and began verifying and compiling the recording of their conversation along with the information he had given.…Meanwhile, Hogan arrived alone at an abandoned factory. He

    The person secretly tailing Hogan was none other than Wynric. Earlier that day, when he handed Aria the party invitations, she had given him a mission.He was to skip the party and keep watch on the Brighton Hotel's entrance. If Hogan left, Wynric was to follow him and find out what he was up to.Wynric was about to move when a voice called out from behind. "Wait for me. I'm tagging along."He stopped and turned. It was Sam."You're coming with me? Are you trying to make my job harder?"Wynric had never actually seen Sam's combat skills. Back in Solandria, Sam had already dealt with the henchmen by the time Wynric arrived."Huh? Boss told me to follow you. I wouldn't be here otherwise." Sam tilted his head. "Did you just call me a burden?"Wynric sighed and rubbed his forehead. "No, I didn't. Fine, tag along if you want, but we'd better hurry before we lose him."He then sprinted in Hogan's direction. Though Hogan was already some distance away, Wynric could still keep him in

    Yona froze where she stood, covering her eyes in a futile attempt to stop the tears streaming down her cheeks. "Aria, I'm so glad I ran into you.""We're both Farshyans. I'll help you however I can. Fate must've brought us together for a reason." Aria took some tissues and gently tapped Yona's shoulder. "Pull yourself together. We're about to hit the road.""Okay."Yona took the tissues, turned around, and wiped her tears.Moments later, the four of them left the hotel suite, fully dressed. Brighton Hotel stood right across the street—just a short walk away. This time, however, staff were stationed at both entrances, welcoming guests and inspecting their invitations.After all, this was a welcome party hosted by the Meciran leaders, meaning every guest was a big shot. Naturally, security was tight, and no one could enter without an invitation.Instead of heading straight there, Aria and her team went to the restaurant in their hotel. "Let's grab a bite before we go." Ar

    The medicine pouch floating in the bathtub was packed full with rare and invaluable herbs. They promoted blood circulation, reduced stasis, and calmed the mind.After preparing the bath, Aria stepped out of the bathroom and sat next to Landon."You and Sam should get some rest. It's going to take me a while to treat Yona."Landon raised an eyebrow, his expression calm and unhurried. "It's okay. I'll wait for you."Aria gave a small nod and stood up. "I'll make her a glass of warm milk."About 15 minutes later, she checked the time. "Go get freshened up. I'll head in and finish up."She picked up the warm milk and an outfit she had asked Wynric to buy for Yona, then walked toward the room.When she entered, Yona was lying in the tub, looking much better—stronger, though still faintly exhausted.Aria set the milk down on the table. "Feeling better?""I am. I can feel my strength coming back." Yona nodded firmly. "This medicine pouch works wonders. I recovered in no time."Aria

    The young woman trembled, her eyes brimming with fear. Even so, she spoke softly. "My name is Yona Seaton. I'm…"Yona trailed off. Lifting her gaze, she looked at Aria, Landon, and Wynric, unsure if she should tell them everything. What if they were working with Otto, and this so-called rescue was just a test?Aria saw through Yona's hesitation and offered a gentle smile. "Don't worry. We're not the bad guys. The choice is yours—you can tell us if you want to. If you'd rather not, you can keep it to yourself."Yona swallowed hard. "You're all Farshyans, right? You probably know Dashiell Wycliffe, the Deputy Secretary of Defense?""Dashiell?" Aria's eyes glinted. "I've heard of him. What's your connection to him?""I-I used to be his assistant," Yona said, lowering her head.Seeing that, Aria immediately draped her jacket over Yona. "So, you're Dashiell's assistant? How did you end up in Otto's hands?""We were on a work trip to Mecira. Mr. Wycliffe was making a call in his offic
