Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1456

The suffocating atmosphere in the lounge pressed heavily against everyone's chest.

Just then, a voice broke the tension.

Commander Gideon Hayes spoke through the secure video link. "Everyone, regarding Whitecliffe Harbor and Project Zero-Transit, there is something we must clarify upfront."

"Whitecliffe Harbor is located in a lawless zone outside international jurisdiction. Conventional law enforcement simply cannot intervene."

"Furthermore, once Project Zero-Transit enters the high seas, any overt operation will instantly trigger a nightmare of multi-national forces and complex jurisdictional disputes."

He paused, his tone growing even graver.

"If we mobilize official forces on a massive scale, it will immediately spook them. Obsidian Sun might even scuttle the ship to cut their losses and cover their tracks."

Commander Hayes continued, "The Raven sent that invitation precisely because he is banking on the fact that we won't dare launch a large-scale, official operation."

"According to the intelligence provided by Dr. Geoffrey Grant, Project Zero-Transit isn't just Obsidian Sun's transport vessel."

"The ship is highly likely to be crawling with international fugitives, black-market buyers, mercenary factions, illegal experimental resources, and possibly even the relocated Human Specimens."

"If the situation spirals out of control, it will become an international catastrophe."

"Therefore, Federal Security currently has no way to intervene directly in an official capacity."

Those few sentences effectively severed every single retreat path.

No large-scale operations.

No public law enforcement.

No alerting the enemy.

In other words, the only way to infiltrate Project Zero-Transit was to abandon official channels and board using black-market identities.

And The Raven-Plume Pass they had received was the sole entry ticket.

This was the true horror of Whitecliffe Harbor.

Obsidian Sun had already set the chessboard.

They were just waiting for them to walk into the trap.

Everyone looked at Serena again, the worry in their eyes deepening.

Jasper's expression darkened completely. "No way. Even if the authorities can't step in, it's not Serena's job to go!"

Her other two brothers echoed the sentiment. "Serena, we'll investigate this together. There's no need to rush into it immediately."
