The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1559

"They'll likely strike here."

Dane pulled up a digital map on his phone.

He pointed to a specific mountain pass characterized by steep cliffs, hairpin turns, and treacherous driving conditions, with a raging river waiting at the bottom of the gorge.

The rapids were violent and relentless; one wrong move, and it was a watery grave.

Claire calculated the distance based on their current speed; they were only about ten minutes away.

No wonder the cars in front and behind were closing the gap.

"Do these Sundara operatives have a death wish? You do not mess with the Solenia military."

The military wasn't bound by the polite red tape of politicians. Piss them off, and they'd open fire without hesitation!

Conducting illegal experiments in The Aila Highlands had already enraged the local garrison.

Now, actively provoking them on their own turf was practically begging for annihilation.

Officer Miller's team was tied up at the moment, but once they finished clearing out the Aila facility, they would hunt these operatives to the ends of the earth!

"Official Sundara spies would know better than to poke the bear, but this situation is different."

"The people tailing us might not be government operatives at all."

Dane's brow furrowed. "Did you forget about the man who abducted you? Quinton Graves escaped."

"There's been no word from Cabinda about his recapture."

"Because the situation was critical, Silas Carl prioritized saving lives."

He hadn't personally pursued Quinton, and the status of the strike teams sent after him remained unknown.

If today's ambush was Quinton's retaliation, the aggressiveness made perfect sense.

This wasn't just about capturing Claire; they were likely aiming to kill everyone else in the vehicle.

While Dane didn't know the results of the special security division's interrogation of Tycho Thorne and Felicity Frost, judging by Quinton's track record, the man didn't take losses lightly.
