Morton Grenmarsh was the handler gathering everyone at the airport this time. He looked at Landon and said, "Oh, this lady's also going overseas with us. We're all like family here, so don't go using that charm of yours on her." Landon turned slightly. "I'm a gentleman. I don't have those kinds of thoughts." Then he looked at Aria with amusement. "Hello there, I'm Landon York." Aria looked up with a touch of arrogance, not extending her hand. "You don't think you can hit on me just because you're good-looking, do you?" "What's that supposed to mean?" Landon pretended to be annoyed. "I just wanted to be friends."Aria glanced at her fake designer bag and scoffed. "Not just anyone gets to be my friend, got it? Mr. York." Landon leaned in closer. "It's been a while since I met a lady with such fire. You've got my attention." "Go cool off somewhere else." Aria propped her chin on her hand lazily. "Don't bother me. If it weren't for that face of yours holding up that terrible

Morton shot to his feet and raised his voice. "Alright, everyone! It's time to board! Grab your stuff and line up at the gate." Everyone picked up their things, shouldered their bags, and got in line heading toward the boarding gate. Aria hung back, watching the expressions on their faces. There was excitement and anxiety. The weight on her shoulders suddenly felt heavier. These people were heading there full of hope. Once they figured out the real situation, they'd definitely regret it. Her primary mission was supposed to be rescuing the researchers. She had gotten new intel that they weren't in Athara's intelligence custody anymore—rebel forces had taken them. Among those eight scientists, one had knowledge of newly developed weapons technology. The rebel forces had heard about it and grabbed all the scientists at any cost, just to get their hands on that weapons tech. Thinking about this, Aria picked up her bag with one hand, her expression focused. They needed to wrap thi

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

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

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
