Chapter 1774 Lismar Summit
Stanley was deep in thought.
At that moment, a bodyguard approached. “Mr. Thompson, this is the entire route that
Sean took when he left with Mrs. Thompson. According to the surveillance camera, Sean
and his people have stopped moving and seem to be waiting at a certain location, possibly
for a transfer.”
“Stopped moving?” Shane grabbed the tablet from the bodyguard's hand and began to
check the route map.
Stanley was also beside him, checking the footage together. Seeing where Sean had
currently stopped, Stanley was struck dumb. “Oh, it's there.”
“Do you know where is it?” Shane immediately looked at him.
Stanley nodded. “Yes. Lismar Summit is a famous mountain in the country. A wildfire
occurred there in the past decade, almost completely destroying the mountain. As a
result, the overall ecology of the mountain hasn't recovered much. Moreover, the terrain
of the mountain is so unique that even helicopters might not be able to reach it.
Therefore, it's impossible for Sean to make the transfer at Lismar Summit.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon hearing that, Shane immediately shifted his gaze to his bodyguard.
Upon catching his knowing glance, the bodyguard immediately started searching on the
tablet.
About two minutes later, the bodyguard looked at Stanley in surprise and said to Shane,
“Mr. Thompson, what Dr. Quinn said is true. The terrain of Lismar Summit is unique,
making it difficult for helicopters to reach. This is why it's hard to transport saplings for
artificial restoration. And this is why the recovery of the ecosystem on Lismar Summit has
been so slow since the authorities could only let nature take its course. Otherwise, it would
have been almost restored by now.”
“In other words, Sean did not go there for a transfer. As for the actual reason, you'll have
to find it out yourself,” Stanley added while adjusting his glasses.
Shane slightly lowered his eyelids as if he was pondering something.
After a moment of contemplation, he spoke in a deep voice. “Sean is waiting for me. He
has chosen Lismar Summit as the battleground.” Stanley was taken aback by his words.
“What? Are you saying that Sean has no intention of escaping with Natalie, but instead,
wants to have a fight to the death with you on Lismar Summit?”
Shane nodded in response. “Isn't it obvious? From the moment he sent me the challenge
letter, he never intended to play a game of cat and mouse with me forever. Sooner or
later, we'll need to have a face-off. If he keeps appearing and disappearing, how can we
have the duel?”
Stanley nodded. “That makes sense.”
“Secondly, Sean is not a fool. If he really wanted to elope with Natalie and avoid being
caught by me, he would have destroyed the surveillance cameras along the way before he
showed up at the club so that we would be able to track his escape route.”
“So what you're saying is, Sean deliberately revealed his whereabouts to lure you to
Lismar Summit, intending to have a fight to the death with you there?” Stanley looked at
him.
“That's right,” Shane responded with a hum.
“It seems there will be an ambush on Lismar Summit,” Stanley added.
Shane's face turned gloomy as he said, “If Sean hadn't kidnapped the person I care about,
I definitely wouldn't have gone. Sean knew that well. He knew I wouldn't walk into a trap
just like that. That's why he took Natalie away. Only in this way could he ensure that I
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwould definitely go.”
Everyone knew that Natalie was his weak spot, so it was not surprising that Sean would
take advantage of that.
Even though Sean has already set up all kinds of traps and ambushes, Shane would still go
for the sake of Natalie.
“When do we set off?” Stanley asked directly, not inquiring about anything else.
Shane glanced at him. “Now.”
He was unwilling to delay rescuing the love of his life.
“It's fine to set off now, but I have a suggestion,” said Stanley, the light reflecting off his
glasses as he spoke.
Shane looked at him, waiting to hear what he would say next.
Stanley narrowed his eyes. “Although we can't directly reach the top of Lismar Summit by
helicopter, we can still get to the foot of the mountain. You could send a vanguard team
first to investigate whether Sean has set up any ambushes on the way up the mountain. If
there are any, the vanguard can dismantle them. This way, when we arrive later, our path
will be unobstructed. Wouldn't this speed up our progress?”
