Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 1331

The ruckus gradually died down, and people exchanged uneasy looks. The man leading the crowd had no idea what was going on, but when he saw his wife tugging at his sleeve, he quieted down too.

The scene took on an eerie calm.

Then, medical supplies and feminine products started getting unloaded. After a moment of stunned silence, folks dropped their tools and stepped up to help.

Conversations began to ripple through the crowd, echoing a shared belief that the government hadn't forgotten them after all.

Among the helpers, though, was Fisher's informant, subtly passing information while pitching in. But the newcomers were all bundled up, their faces hidden from view.

Fisher, originally preoccupied and planning to confront Brielle due to his waning patience, was intrigued by the lookout's report of strangers arriving.

Could it be his son's doing?

The villagers' uncharacteristic lack of hostility puzzled Fisher, stirring a sense of unease in him. He instructed Bryan to take a few men and investigate.

Venturing beyond the compound was considered a deadly gamble, a toxic no-man's land. But Bryan, ever loyal, gathered a small group and headed out.

As they approached the perimeter, a convoy of trucks was nearing the fence. Bryan squinted, signaling his team to shoot the tires and report back to Fisher.

In a bold move, Bryan's undercover agents tried to unmask the frontliners in hazmat suits, revealing dark-skinned individuals beneath.

Not Fisher's son.

Could these really be government officials?

A hundred well-trained personnel stood before them.

Bryan, wearing just a face mask, watched the thirty-odd trucks without flinching. He aimed at a tire, fired, and the truck came to a halt. Coincidentally, it was the one King was in.

Joseph wanted to join King but was stopped by a warning from King through their intercom.

"Stay put. We're being watched, and they're armed," King cautioned.

Outnumbered and compromised, they were at a disadvantage.

King, while helping with the supplies, kept a close eye on the masked man, feeling an odd sense of recognition.

He reached out through their shared memories to Max.

"Does that guy look familiar to you?"

Max was silent for a while before suggesting they call for reinforcements from North America, proposing to bring in Jaired and Irene for backup in this unfolding situation.
