Unprecedented Luxury
?
"No, she can''t leave my sight!" As said firmly as he tightened his grip on me. I knew he was afraid of losing me.
I felt a little guilty. I must be a burden to him at times like these.
Cane naturally understood As''s intentions and didn''t say much. He led the way ahead with long strides.
After walking quickly for over ten minutes, we left the woods and saw a vige ahead. Two cars immediately approached us, and As hurriedly ushered me into one of them.
When Cane retrieved our clothes from the car''s trunk, As said, "Change immediately!"
ncing at my clothes, I realized they would easily reveal where we had been.
We changed into clean clothes, so we looked decent when we were in the car again.
By now, it was bright outside.
The sky was a grayish-white, and the air was refreshing.
As the car drove on the road, I realized we had emerged from behind a vige.
The car sped up and soon turned onto an inconspicuous and secluded road, with banana trees on both sides obscuring the path. I realized that this was the entrance to the base.
Dn and the others must have been inside for at least 40 minutes, and there was still no signal, indicating that the situation inside wasn''t good. Soon, our car arrived at the gate, where we were stopped. Cane left the car, walked to the guards, and exined why we were here. I saw one of them speaking into a walkie-talkie, presumablymunicating with someone inside.
I felt nervous. As tightened his grip on my hand and said, "Don''t be nervous, I''m here. Remember, no matter what happens, don''t leave my side."
"Understood."
I nodded, but my eyes scrutinized the environment outside the car window.
Dn had said this ce was heavily guarded. Guards were stationed every few steps at the entrance, and a high wire fence surrounded the area.
I couldn''t help but think that no one could possibly escape, not even with wings.
Five minutester, I saw the leader say something to Cane, who walked back to us with a relieved expression. We had been given permission to enter.
He returned to the car and started the engine. The gate opened.
Another car led the way ahead as our car drove in, disying extreme vignce. They seemed afraid we would wander off.
The car kept driving inward. It was a
large vige, but most buildings
were densely distributed simple bamboo houses. There were quite a few people here. We could
asionally see some children and elderly people in front of the
bamboo houses.
At first nce, everything seemed peaceful, tranquil and well-maintained. On the surface, it looked like a big vige. No one would have thought it was an illegal base.
Unconsciously, I recalled what Anya had said. "They''re all Navi''s ves."
The gap between the bamboo
houses grew as we continued to drive in. An extensive and imposing bamboo building was in the middle of a square framed by the mountain. That must be Navi''s old camp.

When we arrived at the building, the car stopped and signaled us to wait. People quickly got out of the car and rushed inside. By now, it was already bright outside.
I looked around anxiously, wondering where Dn and the others were. After dawn, Anya would be in more danger. It would be disastrous if anyone here recognized her.
As squeezed my hand and said, "Don''t worry, our people are here."
"I''m not worried about Dn, I''m worried about Anya. It''s getting bright. It''ll be bad if someone recognizes her," I said concernedly.
"Don''t worry. She''s a smart one," As reassured me.
The subordinate who had gone in to report came out and signaled that we could go in.
As calmly stepped out of the vehicle and entered.
Since As was so calm and confident, I had no choice but to be brave too. I hooked my arm in his, idly strolling along while pretending not to care.
But in reality, I was pretty nervous. After all, my biological father was here, getting closer and closer to me. But I still had no idea where he was.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
I was shocked to find myself in awe when we entered the lobby. Despite its unassuming appearance on the outside, the bamboo building was extremely luxurious inside. Everywhere I looked, there was a gotden gleam. It seemed Navi was genuinely wealthy.
