Chapter 1685
Lenold was stunned for a moment, then turned around and nced at the person. "He''s a veteran,
so I invited him on this mission. He doesn''t really like to talk."
Jepherson took a step forward. Lenold stopped and said, "I admire you a lot, but please do not
make things difficult for me. He''s short tempered. If anything happens, I do not know how to exin
myself."
Only then did Jepherson sit back down. He looked over at Lenold and told him, "Let''s start
searching for Flynt and Raeleigh."
"Alright, you''re the boss."
Lenold looked at his subordinate, who were all standing and said, "Someone please inform the
national security bureau of Esterlia, tell them that we need to enter the country to arrest a criminal
and that this mission is highly confidential."
"Yes, sir."
One of Lenold''s subordinates immediately carried out the task.
The helicopter was now flying in Esterlia''s airspace. Lenold then informed Jepherson about the
potential dangers of entering Esterlia.
"You''re lucky that I happened to be on a mission nearby when you called. Otherwise, there is a
possibility that you might note out of Esterlia alive. ording to their nationalw, their citizens
are allowed to carry guns as long as they are above 18 years old. That''s because there are a lot of
wild animals in the country. So, even if you died there, there''s no way to tell."
"Cut the crap. I just want to know whether you''re able to use the satellite to find Raeleigh?"
Jepherson said as retrieved something from his pocket.
It was a tracking device.
Lenold looked at it and asked, "What is that?"
"I was worried that something would happen to Raeleigh while I was at the banquet, so, I hid a
tracker in Raeleigh''s bra, but I did not activate it because I was afraid that she would find out. If I
activate it right now, she will definitely know. The problem is that now we''re in Esterlia''s airspace
and there seems to be some satellite interference. I can''t find her."
The veteran who was initially asleep, opened his eyes, when he heard Jepherson''s words. He
looked at Jepherson through his sunsses. Jepherson could feel that the veteran was not an
ordinary person.
Just as he was about to approach, Lenold stopped him and whispered in his ear, "He is my superior.
This mission is top secret. Can you please try not to humiliate me? If you keep insisting on doing
everything your way, then who''s going to want to help you next time?"
After Lenold heard this, Jepherson turned around and immediately dismissed the idea of
approaching the veteran for the second time. At this time, Lenold''s team was ready for action.
Lenold turned around and handed the tracking device to the veteran. He briefly examined it before
handing it off to another person. He did not say anything and gestured for the person to leave.
The helicopter was still hovering. Jepherson felt ufortable all over. He really wanted to
approach the veteran.
"Have we met before?" Jepherson could not help himself any longer. He ignored Lenold''s pleas and
approached the veteran. His gaze was deep and unfathomable.
The veteran was resolute and unswerving. One could tell that he was not in a good mood right now.
He turned away without saying anything.

Lenold immediately walked to Jepherson and said, "Jepherson, can you please not make things
difficult for me? It was not easy for us toe here. What else do you want?"
Jepherson then turned around. The most important thing was to find Raeleigh.
A few minutester, someone reported the findings to the veteran and brought over the satellite
map for him to have a look.
When Lenold saw Raeleigh''s current position in the map, he started breaking out in cold sweat,
"How did Raeleigh end up in that forest?"
"Which forest?"
Jepherson asked in confusion. Lenold then exined to him that the locals liked to hunt in the forest
for their own foods and that there were bears, wolves and other predators in the forest. Lenold also
told him that the forest that Raeleigh was currently in, was thergest forest in Esterlia. Every year,
someone would die in the forest while hunting.
Jepherson''s face immediately turned pale. "How did Raeleigh end up in the forest? Where''s the
forest located?"
"It''s in the exact opposite direction of where we''re heading."
"Raeleigh must have tried to escape and was caught by Flynt. He must have thrown her into the
forest as a punishment."
Jepherson''s forehead beaded with sweat. "I need to go there right now!"
"There is no ce for the helicopter tond there. It may be very troublesome." Lenold turned
around and nced at the veteran. The veteran finally said, "You guys will have to rappel down
from the helicopter."
"Yes, sir." Lenold immediately agreed. Then, the pilot quickly switched directions and flew straight to
the forest.
Soon, they arrived at the forest and hurriedly tracked down Raeleigh''s exact location. Lenold and
the rest of the team immediately suited up and were about to rappel down when Jepherson stood
up and said, "Lenold, you stay here. I''ll go down."
"Are you kidding? Are you trying to court death? You don''t..."
"I''m professionally trained as well, just like you are. Stay here and I''ll go down and find Raeleigh."
Jepherson immediately got suited up. However, before he could put on his gear, the veteran stood
up from another side and said, "Both of you shall stay here. I''ll go down and find her."
Jepherson looked at the veteran. "Have you even seen my wife before?"
The veteran looked at Jepherson. "The person you''re looking for is your wife?"
"Yes, she''s my wife."
Jepherson said firmly. The veteran then said, "Since she is your wife, then you can go down, but we
will not be responsible for what happens."
"I know."
Jepherson quickly put on the gears. Lenold pleaded with the veteran to allow him to follow
Jepherson down, to which the veteran replied, "You can go down as well, but you are in charge of
the people outside the forest. Flynt might take the opportunity to enter the forest. ording to the
satellite map, there is arge flower bed of poppies in the forest."
"Poppies?"
Lenold was surprised when he heard the veteran''s words. "Poppies are not suitable to be grown in
Esterlia. How can there be poppies?"
"Then you''ll have to ask the locals here, but this is not the right time to talk about it. You guys can
go now. I will send someone to go down with you. Make sure to wear your earpiece and keep in
contact with me."
When the veteran spoke, Jepherson was already prepared to go down. The veteran continued,
"You guys have to take care of yourselves and listen to mymand. If anything happens, no one
will take responsibility."
Jepherson turned around and rappelled down from the helicopter. Lenold stood on the top and told
Jepherson, "Don''t try to be a hero. You have to keep in contact with us at all time, otherwise, if
anything happens, I am not responsible."
Jepherson looked up at Lenold but did not answer.
Soon, Jepherson went down. The rest of the team rappelled down one after another. Even Stuart
wanted to go down, but Jepherson ordered him to wait on the helicopter.
After Jepherson left, Stuart looked over at the veteran and said, "I hope everything goes well."
The veteran did not say anything as he watched his men rappel down the helicopter. After a while,
he immediately barked out instructions. Jepherson immediately reported it back to the team when
he reached the ground. Meanwhile, Lenold made his way to his designated area.
As soon as Jepherson arrived on the ground, the person behind him handed him two knives and
said, "Be careful."
Jepherson took the knife and thanked him. After tidying up his gear, he walked into the forest and
spoke to the veteran while walking. "I am currently heading west." "Just follow the team. I will tell
you where your wife is. Look up! The helicopter will guide you. The tail of the helicopter will point
you in the direction of your wife."
Jepherson got the hint and immediately walked over to her direction. He couldn''t wait to find
Raeleigh.
