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.

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.
As the fo
“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.”

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 below. However, Jayleen was with
her, and Joshua was on his way. She had to be careful. Their lives were at stake

Furthermore, he hoped they could take Yerick alive. He carried with him
information that the organization needed to extract.
Cynthia’s mind was furiously racing, trying to find a way out, yet with so many
people around and with Yerick’s
unpredictability, there was no guaranteed safe option. Not a single one.
