Chapter 502

At that moment, a thought spring into her mind. Riley and Captain must not come here. Yerick had

arranged such a massive show of force. Even if Riley and his crew were to show up, nothing about the

situation would change. The scale of the operation, numbering at least in the hundreds, was not

something they could overcome with stealth. Yerick’s personality was such that the fall of even a single

man would trigger an immediate counterattack, a risk she was not willing to take.

Considering all this, she reached for the tiny, grain–sized tracker that Captain had given her.

Nonchalantly, she popped it into her mouth, biting down hard before swallowing. This tiny device was

delicate; it could not be crushed or ground up, and she could not simply throw it on the ground and

crush it underfoot, not without alerting Yerick. The safest method was to crush it with her teeth and

swallow it.

Meanwhile, Matthew was in his car with a friend decked out in full military gear. As Matthew was

running him through the plan, be realized that the signal from the tracker he had given Cynthia had

disappeared. No longer did his wrist watch display

that little red dot.

His phone rang almost instantly, with Riley on the other end. “Captain. What happened to Cyn’s

signal?”

The others knew that she had gone into a signal–jamming area, but the tracker that Captain gave her

was supposed to transmit her location despite the presence of jammers.

“Head back to Nexuria, Matthew arranged without a second’s delay. As the former Captain, it was

crucial for him to maintain absolute calm and rationality at all times.

Everyone stuttered, their words tumbling out in unison. “Why?

“There seems to have been a major incident on Queneska Island. It’s dangerous for you to go there

without proper equipment. Return to Nexuria and wait. I will bring Cynthia back” Matthew’s tone was

calm, his words promising

Cynthia was not a careless person. The sudden loss of the signal was probably not because she was

discovered; it could only mean that she had realized the danger on the island was far beyond her initial

assessment

That dot.

How was he supposed to find her without a signal?

“What’s up?” Matthew’s companion could hear the gravity in his voice and asked.

“It seems Yerick has played his final card. Things are likely to get tricky this time,” Matthew said bluntly.

Capturing Yerick was their primary goal

When was our mission ever easy?” The man chuckled lightly, appearing unfazed. “Don’t worry. We

have orders from the top. No matter what happens, we must bring Yerick in”

“Let’s move.”

Indeed, their current location was a solid half–hour away from Queneska Island. Thirty minutes. In that

brief period, Mattlaw closed his eyes to steady his nerves. His mind raced through the myriad of

possibilities that might have caused Yerick to play his hand, the worst of which was the scenario where

Yerick’s men had Queneska Island sealed off so tightly that no one else could enter. If that were trie,

Cynthia was in danger.

From the moment Cynthia destroyed her tracker, she seemed to have given up on the idea of returning.

If she were alone, would have immediately inflicted serious harm on Yerick and dived into the sea
