“No, our equipment is all satellite-based. There can’t be no signal inside, otherwise, how would theymunicate with the outside?” Felix pondered for a moment. “If by any chance there really is no signal, ording to the original n, you lead the team in half an hourter. We’ll go in and explore the ce.”


    “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 ce to hide and wait for us toe in.”


    “Got it,” Felix replied impatiently.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    Following that, Felix and Wu Hao sneaked into the ce from where the two men in ck 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 muchrger 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 andplex, 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 ce had be their stronghold. It was truly a good location.


    Felix and Wu Hao exchanged nces and quietly proceeded, preparing to investigate separately.


    As they walked deeper, another man in ck suddenly appeared. He, too, wore a head covering that only revealed his eyes.


    The manined 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 ck 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 ck stopped them.


    “Wait.”


    Felix halted his steps, feeling a sudden shock. Damn it, did they go the wrong way? Or did they reveal a w?


    Meanwhile, Wu Hao discreetly ced his hands behind his back, fully alert and ready to fight at any moment.


    Unexpectedly, the man in ck 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 ced his hand by his side, making a discreet OK gesture.


    Shortly after, Wu Hao turned around first, and his sturdy figure disappeared into theplex 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 ck walked over and opened the door before him.


    Felix quickly followed behind the man in ck, making it less likely for them to be noticed by others.


    Once inside, the space wasrge, with about dozens of men in ck standing respectfully.


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


    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 calcted how he would leaveter, 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 electromaic pulse metal rod from Luther. It could emit electromaic pulses, causing circuit failures, disrupting shortwavemunication, burning power fuses, breaking instionyers, shutting down wireless control devices, and disabling rm 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 ce and was currently recovering. The discussion revolved around the allocation of personnel and necessary precautions.


    From the conversation, Felix deduced that Cloud was nning to change their base of operations.


    They hade at the right time tonight. If they had arrived one dayter, Cloud would have taken Vicki and left this ce, 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 ns. 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. Anyter, and it would have been toote.


    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 ayer 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.
