Chapter 2990
"Understood," Max replied, aware that Jared and Nicole's situation was also nearing resolution.
Jared hung up the phone and looked toward Nicole.
"Max's operation was a success," Nicole said, having a good idea of what it entailed.
"Yes, Scorpio and his men have been captured," Jared confirmed.
A cold smile touched Nicole's lips, "They never expected to be caught themselves while plotting to capture me."
Earlier, Max had reported, and Pisces had informed them that Scorpio planned to gather his men tonight. They aimed to strike at Nicole and Jared at the airport when they returned.
It was indeed a golden opportunity, as Nicole and Jared would be vulnerable at the airport. An attack there would leave them isolated and in danger.
"Now that we've acted first, everything has turned out well. San Joto is safe too," Nicole thought aloud.
"Let's discuss other matters when we return. We need to quickly resolve our current situation," Jared said, his eyes reflecting a sense of urgency.
Indeed, the news of Scorpio's capture wouldn't remain hidden for long. The Eastern Falcon would soon find out.
They had to use this limited time to resolve the situation here, or risk further complications.
"Tomorrow," Nicole said. "I'll let him stick the tracker on me. Let's sync up with Adolph."
"Got it," Jared nodded, his hand squeezing Nicole's lightly.
The following day was sunny and cheerful.
Nicole inquired with a server during breakfast about popular tourist spots and managed to secure a guide named Paige, who was one of Adolph's team members.
Ready for the day, Nicole and Paige hit the road.
