Her gaze was fixed on the direction of the distant city in North America, which was thousands of miles from her.
An explosion had rocked that city, precisely where Summer resided.
As soon as the nearby devices reacted, he boarded a helicopter with K, bound directly for the headquarters.
Beck and Abner sat in a car seven hundred meters away, watching red dots scatter in all directions on their computer.
These were the IP addresses, presumably associated with BK members, intercepted in the vicinity within a short time.
The BK organization had once appeared in North America, known by a very few; it wasn't as mysterious as the research base.
Thanks to Walter and Abner's information network, pinning down K's whereabouts wasn't too tricky.
K had erred in appearing outside Forbidden Island, thereby exposing his whereabouts. All it took was keeping an eye on him from there.
However, K, ever cunning, eschewed returning to BK's headquarters, opting instead for this city.
This was the city where the Grand Elder and Christ had sought retirement, where Summer lived as well, with part of BK's power scattered here mainly to secure the two elders.
When Abner's forces bombed this place, destroying Summer's residence, they also demolished where the Grand Elder and Christ stayed.
Christ had been moved by Summer, and now a group was flying toward BK headquarters, incessantly laying ambushes for Abner's team.
K sat in the helicopter, smirking.
"Looks like they've found this place. I thought Ian had gone to Astronia, that this city would be safe."
Summer remained silent, his face bearing a gentle smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.
They both knew Ian had gone to Astronia, after all, it was information deliberately leaked by the research base to lure those intrigued by it.
And the recent rampant disease was one of the base's creations.
Cania experienced major outbreaks of disease every few years, halving its population each time.
The global community attributed it to Cania's closeness to the “lungs of the earth,” assuming that the primitive locales harbored myriad viruses.
But Summer knew the truth: It was the research base's experimentation.
The onset of diseases signaled data collection time for the base, treating everyone as mere pawns.
Leaning back, Summer spoke in a calm tone, "Too bad for him, once he went there, he can't come back."
Turning to K, he was curious about the identity of the person from the research base backing K. Someone must have supported him from behind for him to have solidified his power within BK at such a young age.

Why are there no updates yet, Author. We've all been waitibg for quite a while now. Please, update soon, Author. Thanks....
Author, my thoughts on the book. When are You going to write on Cornelia and Omar Casson's romance? You made no mention, describing in detail how Maja and Uan's white wedding ceremony went. Also, you didn't write on Carol's baby delivery. What about Tyler's romance. Is there closure on Phelps Herrington being truly certified dead, so also his twin brother? Dylan's research institute "little girl", what became of her and Dylan's romance? Beck's blind dates, what were the results, is he married now, so also Dylan to his "little girl"? Why hasn't Ian's father- Steven come forward to meet Maja's parents as the in-laws meeting each other especially with his supposed past with Lillian; Maja's mother. I hope I won't remain curious for too long on the aforementioned issues, Author. Thanks for doing a good job on Zoey and Fitch's romance, though. Kudos....
