Lonnieâs excitement was palpable.
âSir, letâs move now.
Maybe we can rescue Lucinda tonight!â
Nathan swiftly retrieved his military coat from the coat rack in the corner, donning it with precision.
âPrepare two teams of soldiers in 15 minutes.
Weâre heading to Hilldale.
â
âYes, sir!â
Traveling by car would attract too much attention.
Nathan split them into ten vehicles, exiting discreetly through side gates for a covert approach to Hilldale.
Just five minutes into their journey, Kyson arrived at the National Security Bureau only to find Nathan was not there.
Unable to reach Nathan by phone, Kyson dialed Sonny instead.
âWhere is Nathan? I have crucial information about Lucindaâs whereaboutsâ¦â
Cutting him off, Sonny replied, âNathanâs gone to rescue her.
We expect results tonight.
â
Kyson was taken aback.
âWhere exactly did he go?â
After a brief pause, Sonny decided to be forthcoming, knowing Kyson hadnât caused any trouble in recent years, âHilldale.
â
Kysonâs frown deepened, his expression growing serious.
How could it be Hilldale?
The intelligence he acquired from the black market contradicted what Nathan had uncovered through the National Security Bureau.
Was the information he received fake, or had Nathanâs investigation somehow faltered?
To confirm his suspicion, Kyson drove in the opposite direction and headed toward the location he got.
Despite the National Security Bureauâs advanced investigative techniques and his trust in Nathanâs findings, Kyson sought to validate the reliability of the black market information.
The informant who sold him the details divulged everything about Lucinda.
Lucindaâs current state was advantageous to him.
He found it hard to resist the temptation.
He wanted to fight for a chance for himself.
He desired to⦠get Lucinda, even for once.
As Kyson drove, his mind was consumed by Lucindaâs enchanting smile.
He was willing to attempt it, even if it turned into a disaster!
Kysonâs heart raced; inexplicably, he felt a touch of nervousness.
