Chapter 1810: Divorce premonition

Meanwhile, in the White House of Anteca...

Men of high standing, handpicked by the president to join him in this meeting, sat quietly in a conference room. Silence was the only thing they could hear, all eyes on the hologram screen in the middle, which was receiving the feed from Prime Group that was happening on the island.

Their faces were grim as they had been receiving reports from everywhere—evidence to catch the corruption in their country.

"At least, by now, we know who to serve a warrant," the Military General muttered to the president, nodding. "Just say the word, sir. Even though this falls outside of Homeland Security’s jurisdiction, we can step in with these special circumstances."

The president let out a deep sigh, thinking about Mint, who had been bothering him lately. Then, Hugo Bennet had been pestering his commander—the Chief Military General—until the man started bothering the president. Not just that, but the previous minister of defense also started calling him, bringing up something he had heard from one of the former minister’s soldiers.

The former soldier’s name? Charles Bennet.

So, eventually, the president approved this mission, but Mint had asked him for a favor: to take necessary action once she was able to prove the people involved in coveting the power and resources of Anteca.

And as someone who sat in the highest position in the country, he considered it. He couldn’t leave his position with all these people trying to control their motherland—at least, not until the next presidential election.

"Follow the protocol and due process," Mr. President finally spoke. "Once it’s ready, I’ll give you a signal to execute them."

With that, all the people in the conference room nodded in understanding. After all, they had seen enough to know that an organization as huge as this was eyeing Anteca. To make it worse, it was obvious there were a few from some of their agencies who had been bribed for this.

"This is going to be humiliating and a large scandal," the president remarked. "However, it is necessary for the country and the people."

"Yes, Mr. President."

Back on the Island...

"Are you sure those are from your people?" Ralph, seated in the back of the truck, watched as the drone moved away from their vehicle.

Penny didn’t answer immediately and simply stared at it, blinking almost innocently.

"Mhm," she hummed. "The question is, whether they got the message or not."

After all, Penny’s only message when she pointed at the device was that she was telling them her device was broken. So, there was no way for her to communicate with them.

The members of the Shadow Order looked at each other before their eyes fell on Penny’s. Their plan was simple: to crash into the mansion’s entrance and start wreaking havoc. Starting the chaos would give others—Slater and the hostages—time to escape.

This plan was Slater’s idea, which was quite dangerous.

Ralph studied Penny’s side profile as she leaned back and closed her eyes. He then quietly cast the others a look before they all set their eyes back on Penny.

"Thank you," Ralph expressed, making Penny open her eyes. "And to your brother, Slater, thank you."

Her brows arched, looking back at him as she blinked. "Why are you thanking me?"

"You were risking your life to help us, that is why," he explained. "There were plenty of other ways to infiltrate the mansion, and yet, you were choosing to stay in the spotlight, in the most dangerous spot."

"We appreciate it," he added while the rest nodded. "Very much so."

"I’m not risking my life to help you, I’m risking my life because it’s necessary and because I want to live a long life with the people I love. Quite an irony, right?" she shrugged indifferently. "Whether I meet you or not, I’m still doing what I’m going to do just because Nathalie Zorken just wouldn’t leave my husband alone."

She blinked. "I’m kind of the jealous type, you know?"
