    Chapter 49: The Safest ce


    Martina quickly understood the Chief’s idea and thought that since she would be staying here for an


    unknown number of days, it would be a good thing to help these children with their studies. Not only


    would it divert her attention, but it would also make her stay morefortable. With these thoughts in


    mind, Martina readily agreed without any hesitation.


    “Okay. I will do my best to help these children learn more during the time I’m here before I leave,”


    Martina said.


    Upon hearing Martina’s words, the Chief was deeply grateful and even on the verge of tears. “I am very


    much appreciated your help,” he sincerely said. “You can rest assured, Miss Martinez. You can stay


    here as long as you want, as long as you’re willing to teach the children in our vige.”


    Having her own intentions, Martina pondered for a moment before speaking up, “That’s not a problem,


    but I have a favor to ask. If someone happens toe looking for me in the vige in the next few


    days, please don’t disclose any information about my whereabouts.”


    The Chief was a smart person and now, after much effort, he finally managed to convince Martina to


    teach the children in the vige. Naturally, he didn’t want anyplications to arise from this


    arrangement, so he agreed without hesitation.


    “No problem at all, we will absolutely help you. You can rest assured that everyone in the vige will


    assist you,” he replied.


    A broader smile appeared on Martina’s face. “Thank you so much, Mr. Huckleberry. By the way, just


    call me Martina.”


    The Chief lived up to his reputation as a man of action. As soon as he agreed, he immediately informed


    everyone in the vige. This made Martina even more reassured.


    In the following days, apart from her regr rest time, she dedicated herself to helping the children


    learn and teaching them diligently.


    Especially when faced with the eager and studious gazes of these children, Martina even felt a sense


    of great aplishment. During the teaching sessions, she was filled with enthusiasm and energy.


    Another week passed. Although the living conditions in this ce were rtively underdeveloped, basic


    necessities were not a problem.


    After spending a long time with these children, Martina surprisingly developed a reluctance to leave.


    However, good times neverst too long.


    Afterpleting another day of sses and freshening up with a shower at home, Martina was startled


    by the anxious voice of Candy. “Martina, there’s an emergency!”


    Martina instinctively hurriedly put on her clothes and poked her head out of the simple bathroom. She


    looked at Candy, who was running towards her, and asked, “What happened? Rx, take your time


    and tell me what happened.”


    In the morning, Benjamin had dispatched a team to search various locations along the coast, but they


    were unable to find any sign of Martina. Doubt started creeping into Benjamin’s mind, questioning the


    uracy of his judgment.


    Especially after checking the ticket records of those ships, there was no sign of Martina whatsoever.


    The current situation was clear: either she didn’t take any ship at all, or she used a fake identity to


    board.


    As for where that woman had gone, it was uncertain at the moment. All the clues seemed to have


    vanished.


    Without needing a word from Benjamin, Leslie could feel the stinging sensation on his face,


    apanied by intense pain.


    It was a disheartening realization that despite once being recognized as a talented individual by


    Benjamin, he had repeatedly let him down now.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Now Leslie himself had a strong sense of being unable to stay in front of Benjamin, not knowing how to


    escape the current situation.


    “Boss, please give me another chance! This time I will definitely find Miss Martinez and bring her back,”


    Leslie pleaded, unable to even lift his head, feeling the heat burning on his face.


    Even Simon didn’t know what to say because they had never considered the possibility that Martina


    could smoothly escape right under their noses, and not only that, but also vanish without a trace. It


    made their efforts seem like a joke.


    With so many people involved, especially with the presence of the boss as their strategist, they couldn’t


    outsmart Martina.


    It was totally aughingstock!


    But now, even if they didn’t ept it, there was no way around it. Martina has truly. disappeared as if


    evaporated from the earth, leaving everyone feeling utterly powerless.


    The pressure emanating from Benjamin had reached a point where it could no longer be described as


    low, but rather as uncontroble.


    Looking at the mess on the ground, everyone dared not make a sound. The corners of his eyes were


    red and fierce, reflecting his current mood.


    As he listened to the reports from his subordinates, there wasn’t a single senten he liked to hear.


    In these few short days, Benjamin had been running back and forth, personally searching, but still


    hadn’t found a trace of Martina. It was truly unimaginable.


    Leslie noticed that Benjamin remained silent, and his daring spection began to take shape in his


    mind.


    “Could it be that Miss Martinez never actually boarded the ship and is still in this city, hiding in a


    rtively safer ce?” he said.


    However, Benjamin immediately dismissed the idea, saying, “No, this is her only chance.”


    Benjamin yed with his custom-made wristwatch, a high-priced luxury item worth at least a million


    dors. In the next second, without any hesitation, he effortlessly tossed it into the nearby ice bucket,


    as if he was discarding a tissue with ease.


    He picked up a dry towel to wipe his hands, then stood up again, dering, “Change the location, keep


    searching.”


    They had already searched many ces thoroughly, leaving only a few nooks and crannies


    unexplored. Leslie was starting to feel hopeless and helpless.


    “We’ve searched through cities and viges where people could potentially hide, but we still haven’t


    seen Miss Martinez,” he said. “It’s really making me wonder, where could Miss Martinez be hiding? She


    wouldn’t possibly choose dangerous ces to hide, would she?


    Those words suddenly awakened Benjamin. If there was anyone who understood him best, it was


    undoubtedly Martina.If she truly wanted to escape from him, she would undoubtedly have a firm grasp


    on his temperament, taking actions with extreme caution.


    Even the ces he would prioritize in his search would be within Martina’s control!


    Perhaps she really did find a dangerous ce to hide!


    With this realization, Benjamin quickly pulled out his phone and began a thorough investigation.
