âNo wonder her signature is the same as Annaâs,â Emily said, nodding âIâm sorry! Itâs all my fault,â With her face buried in her hands, Isabella sobbed âStop blaming yourself, Isabella. Itâs already happened, so we should just face it. I know you didnât expect Tammy to go there without telling anyone. We still have some hope because we havenât heard anything about Gary or Tammy,â Emily said âWhat happened to Gary?â Isabella asked, as she had no idea Gary had gone missing as well After hearing Emilyâs account of the situation, Isabella asked, surprised, âNight Eagle? Wait, I heard of them before! â She then took a rag from her coat pocket and showed it to them Emily was taken aback when she saw the logo on it. âHow did you get this?â
Isabella said, âA woman allowed me to leave the Maldives on her boat She was the woman who lives in the mansion next door to our hotel, and she had this sign all over her boat.â
Emily went completely still. She didnât attend Isabellaâs wedding because she was on a mission at the time. Meanwhile, Ryan was aware of the whole situation, as Jasper even asked him to find Isabella after she ran away âAre you talking about the group of people in black?â
Isabella responded with a nod, âThat woman is their leader. She took 565 You Canât Save Them Both sad me off the island without asking for money, but she gave me sleeping pills on the way. When I woke up, I was already in Cliatin.â
Seeing that Emilyâs eyes widened in shock, Isabella quickly explained to her, âItâs all right. I wasnât hurt. They did it because they didnât want me to know who they were or where they were going.â
Emily sighed with relief, âSo, why didnât you come back? Everyone has been looking for you nonstop.â
âI...â Isabella paused, unsure of how to explain âItâs all right. We donât have time for that now. What else was in that ship, Isabella? Tell us everything you heard and saw in the ship,â Ryan helped Isabella dodge the question by changing the subject âI overheard her arguing with her assistant about whether or not to bring back a child. I didnât hear anything else.â
Emily asked, âBring a child back? Which one?â
âItâs Gary,â Isabella clenched her fists Both suspicious, Emily and Ryan exchanged glances. âIâll look into it,â Emily said as she stood up. At the same time, she thought to herself, For the past several years, no one mentioned Garyâs parents. Everyone knows who his mother is, but no one knows anything about his father. Gayâs father couldnât possibly be Dragon because he wasnât that powerful After a long drive, Emily returned to Karlâs house. Before turning off the intercom, she opened the curtains to check the situation outside. At that moment, Peace, Karl, Matthew, and Isabella all sat in the living room When they heard the sound of an engine outside the yard, everyone froze âIâll go check it out,â Isabella said, standing up After getting out of the car, Jasper noticed Isabella standing in front of 565 You Canât Save Them Both = the house. She bowed her head and appeared to be ashamed âIsabella,â Jasper said as he approached her âIâm so sorry,â Isabella said quietly Jasper held her close and stroked her hair gently. He said, âIt is not your fault. I knew they had been planning to take Gary away for a long time. They would do so whether you leave or not.â
They then walked into the living room together. Isabella kept whimpering because she was drowning in grief. And Jasper comforted her by holding her hand tightly âThis organization has been mysterious, so there is very little information about them,â Jasper explained to the crowd, âBut they are mercenaries, after all, so itâs not difficult to find some people who have worked with them.â
âWhatâs going on? Garyâs still a kid. How could he possibly have anything to do with this goddamned organization?!â Peace asked âThis whole thing has everything to do with Ada. Emily, you should have guessed Garyâs biological father wasnât Dragon, right?
The person who brought her to Ireland in the first place had close ties to the Night Eagle.â
âAllI know is that the manâs last name was Lawrence, and he died a few years ago. He was an Irishman who ran a casino. We knew about a few years ago, but we all thought this guy was just temporarily dating Ada at first,â Emily explained âPretty much. Marcel Lawrence had several mistresses.â
âAs for Gary...â Jasper revealed everything he had learned to everyone, âAda returned to England a few years ago, wanting to bring Gary back to Ireland because she wanted Marcelâs inheritance. Marcel had just died, so Gary was Adaâs last hope. Marcel and his wife had five children, but all died unexpectedly. Gary was his only son.â
âFive?â Peace asked, âbut what does this have to do with Night Eagle?â
âThe head of Night Eagle is Victoria Burton, Marcelâs cousin. She has never been married and has no children. If Iâm correct, she wants to take her nephew away and raise him to be the next leader of Night Eagle,â Jasper explained âDid all five of Marcelâs children die by accident?â Ryan asked âThey definitely all went through rigorous training,â Jasper said, âAnd itâs possible they died in training or were assassinated. Iâve heard of things like that before.â
âSheâs crazy, isnât she? Sheâs been using her cousin and his mistresses, forcing them to keep having children. Plus, she treated those children cruelly,â Peace said Then Jasper continued, âMarcel didnât want Victoria Burton to know anything about Gary, so he didnât tell anyone about his relationship with Ada. Victoria would have learned about Gary sooner if Marcel hadnât done that. By doing so, he was preventing her from taking his son away.â
âSo why didnât she just take Gary away? Why did she kidnap Matthew?â Emily asked At night, a boat slowly floated in the sea. Several speedboats soon approached it from all sides. And a crowd of people dressed in black gathered on the deck The leader of the group was a woman wearing a black mask. Her eyes shone with a sinister light in the moonlight. âHow are the two kids?â she asked âThe girl made a big fuss and kept shouting at us, but Gary got her to stop.â
Hearing that, the woman snorted mockingly and said, âShe doesnât seem to be a smart one. I guess theyâll be able to find out about us soon.â
âDo we need to leave here now?â
âNo. Give them the signal and tell them they can only save one of these two children.â
âOne? That doesnât appear to be a difficult decision.â
âWhatever they choose, the result will not be what they desire. Letâs leave the girl here to keep Gary company.â
The woman waved her hand, her robe swaying in the breeze. On her wrist, something silver glowed. It was a tiny silver snake wrapped around the womanâs slim arm
