The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1580

Graves couldn't be certain if the police were incompetent or flawlessly executing a trap.

He only had two plays left: stick to the original plan, link up with Reese's boat, and pray they all slipped across the border together.

Or, he could deliberately break cover, pulling the entire wrath of the Solenian police force onto himself, thereby guaranteeing Reese could smuggle Claire into Sundara.

If he completed the mission this way, he would likely die.

But if he failed and lost the target, the Daybreak Syndicate would hunt him to the ends of the earth and execute him anyway.

Graves hesitated for only a fraction of a second before making his choice.

What if he pulled off the extraction and somehow survived the manhunt?

His status within Daybreak would instantly skyrocket to legendary heights.

Within the Syndicate, true absolute power was only granted to those at the very top.

Graves harbored a dark, suffocating thirst for vengeance.

He absolutely refused to die in this miserable country.

Moving with calculated precision, Graves deliberately stepped out of the shadows, making an amateur mistake.

Instantly, he felt the crosshairs lock onto him.

Officer Miller's tactical units had been sweeping the reservoir for hours, and the second Graves exposed himself, they descended like wolves.

But Graves was a phantom. Even with a massive perimeter, Miller's heavily armed squads struggled to corner him; the man was as slippery as a ghost.

The military wasn't about to let their prime target vanish again. Miller aggressively pushed his men forward, initiating a brutal pursuit through the dense brush.

Miles away, Stephen monitored the chaotic radio chatter, his jaw clenching tightly.

Graves had seen right through their trap.

The man was an absolute nightmare to pin down.

Realizing that Graves wasn't going to lead them to the boat, Stephen made the split-second decision to close the net.

Nothing else mattered. Claire could not remain in hostile hands for another second!

Stephen barked the order, and the hidden police units surrounding the water violently surged into action.

Jace was the closest operative to the target; his only mission was to ensure Claire's survival.

He had been shadowing the boat from the shoreline, fully expecting them to dock right into his waiting ambush.
