Carla was finally allowed to go to NF.
The moment when she got on board the airplane, she felt thankful that Sean was her only family. She didn't need to convince a lot of people to let her risk her life to save Terence.
'Sean, I'm sorry!
I know it's irresponsible as your sister, but when you grow up, you'll understand.
When you are old enough, you'll meet someone that you would be willing to give your life to. When that day comes, you'll finally understand what I feel!' Carla thought.
The plane flew up to the sky until it disappeared above the clouds.
Noah was too late to stop her. When he got there, he saw that the plane was already rising to the sky.
"Todd, tell our men in NF that they are not allowed to hurt her if they see her," he commanded.
Todd glanced at Noah in surprise. However, he didn't say anything but nodded instead. "Yes. I'll send Miss Carla's picture to them right now."
At that exact moment, a group of people were hiding in the jungle beside OS River.
"It seems that Mr. Marcus hasn't given up yet. They are conducting another round of search!"
Rainer said to a man who was sitting on the riverbank. Even though they were hiding for a month, they still looked energetic.
The man Rainer was talking to was dressed in camouflage. He squinted his eyes to look at the blazing sun. When he placed a piece of fish in his mouth, a wooden-fish bracelet swayed with his movements.
The bracelet was dirty and ragged, but he was still treasuring it.
The man was Terence who had been missing for over a month.
He was no longer the elegant and noble Mr. Terence An. His skin got a tan because of the harsh sunlight but it only made him more charming and masculine. What was unchanged was his majestic demeanor.
"Of course he won't be giving up soon. He will never rest until he finds my dead body."
Terence threw the remaining fish into the ground. Rainer buried it under some dirt and dry leaves.
They were extremely cautious not to leave a trace.
"Mr. Terence, if we continue going north for the next two days, we'll be able to meet Blue and the others," Rainer said when he was finished burying the fish.
Marcus deployed more people recently, and they even searched more thoroughly than before. They needed to slow down to avoid the drones in the sky and the search team on the ground.
"Yes. Your estimates are right. I found out his Achilles' heel. Marcus will never relax unless he finds me. Fake a scene tomorrow to deceive them that I'm already dead. When he relaxes his vigilance, we can move forward more smoothly,"
Terence said while staring at the jungle in front of him.
Nathan was coming back from the riverside. He was wearing a grass garland on his head as a disguise.
"How long before they arrive here?" Terence asked.
"Mr. Terence, they'll be here in forty minutes; thirty if they're fast enough," Nathan replied.
Terence took the coat that Rainer offered him and stood up. He slung the gun over his shoulder and commanded the dozens of people behind him, "Let's go!"
"Mr. Terence, please put some of this on your face. We need to be careful!" Rainer brought a small box of camouflage oil and brushed some on Terence's handsome face.
Terence frowned. He never liked the smell but he didn't say anything until Rainer finished painting his face. He placed a hat on his head and started marching forward.
Back to Carla.
She finally arrived in NF. However, what happened next was not what she expected.
Nicholas didn't allow her to look for Terence immediately. Instead, he told her to stay in one of the AJ Group's hotels.
While spending some time at the hotel, she couldn't help but think that this was Nicolas' strategy.
He didn't want to put her in danger. Since she insisted, he didn't have a choice but to allow her to go to NF. When she finally arrived, he instructed her to not look for Terence even though she was very close to the crash site.
