Steven briefed Isabella on Ascent Dynamics in detail before adding, “Bella, our intelligence networks have Ascent Dynamics pinned down.

“We’ve mapped out their compromised political patrons and illicit financial pipelines, keeping the whole network under surveillance.

“However, Ascent Dynamics is a multinational conglomerate enjoying specific diplomatic and commercial immunities.

“Our objective is to blow the Keller family’s conspiracy wide open on domestic soil, rounding up every collaborator in one clean sweep.

“Yet that presents a massive operational bottleneck.

“If we release the charges domestically first, they’ll immediately invoke extradition clauses and corporate immunities to extract the Kellers and core executives straight to Oskary.

“That’ll leave us entirely on the back foot.

“Conversely, if we don’t expose their crimes publicly, our arrest warrants remain bound by strict jurisdictional limits.

“You know how international law works–prosecution requires unassailable evidence and procedural compliance to detain foreign executives domestically, many of whom hold non- Valorian citizenship.

“That creates endless legal loopholes for their defense counsel to exploit.

“If Oskary demands their immediate extradition, our diplomatic position becomes exceedingly delicate.

“That’s why we need your help.”

Steven’s eyes shone with sharp resolve.

Had this involved any ordinary teenager, Steven never would’ve entertained the idea.

But Isabella was cut from a different cloth, boasting a confirmed track record of neutralizing armed kidnappers single–handedly.

Her tactical reflexes, mental resilience, and combat capability were leagues beyond ordinary youths.

After reviewing the operational risk assessment, Steven had signed off on the plan.

“Intelligence confirms Andre will enter Valoria in the early hours of the twelfth–exactly three days from now.

“He’s the linchpin of this entire biological conspiracy–the mastermind behind the curtain.

“Our objective is to lock him down on our soil permanently.

“Simultaneously, we want you to challenge him during his campus keynote, exposing Ascent Dynamics‘ anti–Valorian bio–harvesting plot before the entire world.

“Under public scrutiny before live cameras, no amount of foreign legal maneuvering will let them wriggle out of accountability.

“Valoria will hold undeniable lawful grounds to detain them permanently, uprooting Ascent Dynamics‘ syndicate, shuttering their domestic holdings, and issuing formal diplomatic demands for foreign intelligence cooperation.”

This was the optimal operational roadmap submitted by Federal Intelligence after dozens of tactical simulations.

Naturally, secondary contingency protocols were on standby as well.

Yet none offered the clean, decisive leverage of this approach.

If authorities pre–emptively publicized the indictments, the Oskarian state department would flood media channels claiming Valoria was framing a celebrated humanitarian.

Armed with Ascent Dynamics‘ institutional wealth and Andre’s academic prestige, weaponizing public sentiment and diplomatic sanctions would be trivial.

Yet without public exposure, transnational conspirators had a million legal technicalities to evade prosecution–the eternal nightmare of cross–border criminal cases.

Using Isabella’s personal feud with Ascent Dynamics as the wedge changed the entire dynamic.

First, her family dispute gave her legitimate grounds to confront them, avoiding operational alarms that might spook Andre into aborting his flight.

Second, federal intervention sparked by civilian grievances framed the action as the state protecting its citizens from predatory foreign cartels, brushing aside foreign diplomatic noise.

You preyed upon our people, and you were gonna pay the price.

Choosing the university lecture ensured Andre had zero avenues of physical escape.
