Chapter 1841: Arriving at the Right Time

“No, our equipment is all satellite-based. There can't be no signal

inside, otherwise, how would they communicate with the outside?" Felix

pondered for a moment. "If by any chance there really is no signal,

according to the original plan, you lead the team in half an hour later.

We'll go in and explore the place.”

"Alright, that's settled,” Mr. Ball nodded.

Before leaving, Mr. Ball reminded Felix, "No matter what happens, don't

act impulsively. Think about the entire Saunders family. If you

encounter danger inside, it's better to find a place to hide and wait for

us to come in."

"Got it," Felix replied impatiently.

Following that, Felix and Wu Hao sneaked into the place from where

the two men in black had emerged earlier.

They descended along the narrow stairs and entered the interior of the

semi-basement. Once inside, they discovered a hidden world that was

much larger than they had imagined. There was a corridor that led to

an endless abyss, as well as several forks whose destinations were

unknown.

The terrain was intricate and complex, and although it was a dark

corner, it was well-maintained with no musty smell. The fresh air

system was on 24/7. The floor was covered with European-style

antique tiles, and the walls were uneven with siliceous mud. The

furniture and decorations all exuded a dark atmosphere.

Felix understood it all too well-Cloud was indeed cunning. No wonder

this place had become their stronghold. It was truly a good location.

Felix and Wu Hao exchanged glances and quietly proceeded,

preparing to investigate separately.

As they walked deeper, another man in black suddenly appeared. He,

too, wore a head covering that only revealed his eyes.

The man complained upon seeing them, "Why did you take so long?

The boss is waiting for the meeting, what are you standing around for?

Hurry up!"

Felix knew that the men in black recognized them by the numbers on

their clothes.

At this moment, Felix and Wu Hao dared not speak, fearing they would

give themselves away, so they nodded in agreement. A meeting?

Where were they going to have the meeting? What if they went in the

wrong direction and were discovered? Felix made up his mind. When in

doubt, rely on guesswork. He headed straight for the end of the

corridor.

But then, the man in black stopped them.

"Wait."

Felix halted his steps, feeling a sudden shock. Damn it, did they go the

wrong way? Or did they reveal a flaw?

Meanwhile, Wu Hao discreetly placed his hands behind his back, fully

alert and ready to fight at any moment.

Unexpectedly, the man in black said, "Why are both of you going? The

boss doesn't like too many people. One of you is enough.”

Felix felt relieved, realizing he had guessed correctly.

He signaled to Wu Hao with his eyes, indicating for him to secretly

investigate while Felix attended the meeting. He wanted to hear what

Cloud's next move would be.

Wu Hao understood and placed his hand by his side, making a discreet

OK gesture.

Shortly after, Wu Hao turned around first, and his sturdy figure

disappeared into the complex maze of corridors.

Felix continued until he reached the end of the corridor. He was

cautious, trying not to make any unusual sounds. Sure enough, there

was a door at the end. He hesitated whether to open it. At that moment,

another man in black walked over and opened the door before him.

Felix quickly followed behind the man in black, making it less likely for

them to be noticed by others.

Once inside, the space was large, with about dozens of men in black

standing respectfully.

Felix quickly positioned himself at the back of the line of men in black.

After a while, Cloud emerged from the inner room. He walked all the

way to the chair in front and sat down.

Felix held his breath and focused. His gaze wandered around,

observing the internal structure of the entire room. He calculated how

he would leave later, and how he would escape if discovered. It was at

this moment that he heard a familiar series of footsteps.

He looked up abruptly-it was Vicki.

He was too familiar with everything about her. Whenever she came to

his office before, even if she was far away, he could hear her footsteps

in advance. Sometimes he would stand by the window, deliberately not

turning around. When she approached him, he would suddenly turn

around and embrace her tightly, teasing her. He had never missed a

beat. So, he knew it was her.

Having not seen her for some time, he couldn't control himself and

greedily gazed at Vicki. She seemed colder than before, with a cold

and expressionless face. No one knew what she was thinking. She

seemed thinner, with deeper and more beautiful features. Everything

about her attracted him. He had long been unableto resist. If it weren't

on Cloud's turf, he would have rushed forward and embraced her right

now.

He desperately held back. He noticed that Vicki had a special device on

her wrists and ankles, likely an electronic lock. He had heard of such

things before; Cloud probably had a remote control for it. Once Vicki

broke free from Cloud's control, he would activate the electronic lock,

emitting a slight electric current that would render Vicki helpless.

Felix silently rejoiced, grateful that he had thought of this. He had

obtained a simplified version of an electromagnetic pulse metal rod

from Luther. It could emit electromagnetic pulses, causing circuit

failures, disrupting shortwave communication, burning power fuses,

breaking insulation layers, shutting down wireless control devices, and

disabling alarm control systems within a radius of a hundred meters.

With this, he would be able to cut off the wireless control and rescue

Vicki smoothly.

Since entering the room, Vicki hadn't said a word. She stood coldly

behind Cloud.

Cloud began to talk about the agenda for tonight's meeting.

As Felix listened, he understood. In fact, they had already guessed it-

Athena had been transferred to a safe place and was currently

recovering. The discussion revolved around the allocation of personnel

and necessary precautions.

From the conversation, Felix deduced that Cloud was planning to

change their base of operations.

They had come at the right time tonight. If they had arrived one day

later, Cloud would have taken Vicki and left this place, meeting up with

Athena. Finding Vicki would be even more difficult for him in that case.

However, the cunning Cloud didn't reveal any other information during

this meeting, especially about their next plans. It seemed that only a

few trusted individuals would be privy to such details.

Felix felt fortunate in his heart that he had decided to take action

tonight. Any later, and it would have been too late.

Unexpectedly, when he raised his gaze, he found Vicki's eyes scanning

towards him.

Her gaze was sharp, like a leopard squinting its eyes, scrutinizing him

intently.

Felix couldn't help but feel guilty under her piercing gaze, and a layer of

sweat formed on his back. How could Vicki possibly recognize him? He

was dressed like this, with only his eyes exposed. If she could still

recognize him, he would be astonished.
