The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1535

Claire poured the remaining medicinal broth into canteens to take with them, knowing the rest of the team would desperately need it.

While they had been delayed outside, Officer Miller was currently locked in a brutal fight for survival inside the hidden cave.

Yes, after being attacked by the frenzied boars, they had been intentionally misled by Zeke straight into this underground cavern.

Once inside, the entire squad had been incapacitated by Dreamweed gas and taken prisoner.

Miller was the only one who had managed to slip their grasp.

He desperately wanted to rescue his men, but he was vastly outnumbered.

He had inhaled the toxin as well, though his iron will and superior constitution kept him somewhat lucid. He was barely holding on.

As their commanding officer, he was determined to bring his soldiers home.

But he had never expected to find a fully staffed, heavily armed enemy cell hiding deep within the mountains.

These weren't common thugs; they were highly trained combatants. This entire facility was deeply compromised.

Relying on decades of military instinct, Miller quickly connected the dots.

What about Zeke?

What was his true role in all of this?

His identity as a local guide was nothing but a perfect cover to move freely through the restricted mountains.

It allowed him to steer innocent travelers and patrols away from the cave, protecting the secret base from accidental discovery.

He had been running interference for this shadow organization all along.

Observing from the shadows, Miller concluded that these operatives were almost certainly from Sundara.

The exact nature of their ties to the Sundaran government was unclear, but running clandestine operations deep inside Solenia was a blatant act of hostility.

Miller's eyes burned crimson with suppressed rage and toxins. He was trapped.

He wanted to save his men, but he also needed to get out and call for reinforcements.
