Troy forced a smile as he spoke to Hector: “Commander Clark, they just got back today. We might as well ask them. Maybe we’ll get some useful information.”

As he turned around, his expression instantly shifted from warm and polite to cold and impatient. His face changed in the blink of an eye.

“During your mission, did you come across a man named Xane? He’s Commander Clark’s son. He’s handsome and looks just like Commander Clark.”

Hector handed over a photo.

The group passed it around, but all of them shook their heads. “Never seen him.”

“No memory of that.”

Disappointment flashed across Hector’s face.

Troy quickly tried to smooth things over. “Commander Clark, don’t worry. Your son looks like someone blessed with great fortune. Even if the sky fell, nothing would happen to him. And with Martin personally protecting him, there’s no way anything could go wrong…”

Serena suddenly froze. “Martin?”

The name sounded strangely familiar; it was like she had just heard it not long ago.

Her eyes widened as she quickly asked, “Mr. Umbert, is the Martin you mentioned a middle–aged man?” Hector immediately turned toward her. “You’ve seen him?”

Serena hesitated. “I’m not sure if it’s the same person, but among the people we encountered during this mission, there was a middle–aged man named Martin…”

“What did he look like? Was he alone? I mean, did he have any obvious companions in that group?”

“Well…”

Serena thought for a moment. “There was another middle–aged man with him. They seemed close. He looked pretty good, about six feet tall. The other one was a bit shorter. I don’t know his name, but I heard Martin call him Woolridge once.”

Hector’s expression darkened instantly. “What about the others? You only saw those two? You didn’t see my son?”

Serena slowly shook her head. “No.”

“Outrageous!”

Hector exploded with fury.

Troy’s eyelid twitched wildly. He quickly stepped forward to calm him. “Commander Clark, please don’t

get angry. It could just be a coincidence… ‘Martin‘ isn’t exactly a rare name, and there are plenty of people with the same name…”

Hector’s jaw tightened. No mistake. It has to be them!”

“Martin and Drake Woolridge. The names match too. Even their

appearance and age match!

“If it’s not them, then who else could it be? What I didn’t expect… is that my son isn’t with them. So where is he?”

Just thinking about the possibility made his vision darken

No wonder he hadn’t been sleeping well these past few days, so there really was a traitor.

“W–Well… nothing’s confirmed yet. Please don’t jump to conclusions…”

Troy shot Serena a sharp glare.

She quickly chimed in, “Y–yeah, don’t overthink it. It could all just be a coincidence…”

“How many coincidences do you think there are?”

Hector’s voice turned cold. “My son wasn’t far from here to begin with. Even with the apocalypse, it’s been over a month. He should’ve made it back by now!

“But he hasn’t. And not just him, Martin and Drake have disappeared too. I thought they ran into trouble along the way…” His expression grew darker. “But now it seems more likely the mission failed, and instead of returning, they defected to someone else!”

Troy tried to speak, but Hector cut him off sharply. Investigate!

“Find out everything about the people you encountered. I want to know where they’re based and who’s in their group. I want a full report!

“I’ll personally ask them what’s going on!”
