The echoing footsteps reverberated through the tunnel-like corridor, each step pounding on my heart. Anxiously, I reyed the address rk had mentioned, sensing it wasn''t a location within our borders.


    I couldn''t discern whether it was the cave-like environment, the doors we encountered, or perhaps everything we had experienced.


    There were still many questions I wanted to ask the man we just encountered, but those were now facts of the past. There was no way to change everything.


    After we emerged, As gave Dn some instructions. I had lost the excitement I felting in.


    My mind was filled with the news that Rory was still alive. My emotions were in an exhrated state, bordering on impatience.


    On the way back, I asked As, "As, do you think the address he provided is real? Can we really find my father?"


    While saying this, my hands clenched tightly.


    As reached over, holding my hand. "It''s a small town on the border of a small country. The ce is quiteplicated. It''s at the intersection of three countries and is currently the most dangerous ce in the world."


    Finally hearing what I least wanted to hear, I knew from the address that it must be a rough ce.


    "All the industries there are shady dealings, not ces normal people can casually enter. So, we must develop a meticulous n to enter that ce and save him."


    As''s words left no room for doubt. It seemed like he was not hiding anything from me.


    "Rest assured, I''ll set out tomorrow and personally go to get him."Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "You''re going by yourself?" I asked in surprise, as it was unexpected.


    Earlier, I had seen him instruct Dn on some details, and I thought he was arranging for Dn to go.


    As nodded decisively. "Yes, I''m going. Moreover, the organizations in Jitador are also searching for him. If they get there first, they won''t leave anyone alive."


    "In that case, we must be quick." I felt unsettled.


    As''s expression was extremely grave. "All hister hardships resulted from the father and son''s sinister actions. They wanted to use Rory as a hostage to ensure their safety." "But now, both of them are in our hands, right? Aren''t they unattended?" I looked at As, seeking rification.


    "However, we suspect Jarvis has allied with the criminal forces in the triangr area, intending to use Rory as a bigger bargaining chip. So, even though they are minor yers in this whole event, they deserve severe punishment.


    "There might be deeper secrets behind them that we don''t know about. Dn just sent someone into that area to gather information so we can smoothly get him out." Hearing his words, I breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that As was well-prepared.


    The car sped through the dark passage, and As nced at me, squeezing my hand. He spoke softly, "Chlo, I''ve been waiting for this day for a long time.


    "Over these years, I''ve been working


    on multiple fronts. We have many people on the outside! Bringing you to see rk today shatters any hope he might have. His defenses wouldpletely copse upon seeing you."


    I looked at him, somewhat puzzled, and asked in a hushed voice, "Why?"


    "Because he has consistently


    refused to admit everything,


    especially the fact that he took you


    away after you were injured. He refuses to acknowledge that he took you away andter lost you on the


    way.


    "He harbored a slim hope that as long as you vanished without a trace, I wouldn''t have any evidence against him, and he could continue denying it."


    "He took away the injured me?" I asked As, finding it hard to believe.
