The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1714

No one had anticipated that their critical extraction problem would be solved so effortlessly.

Especially Finnian and Steele. They had run dozens of black-ops extractions before.

While this mission had its chaotic moments, the resolution was incredibly smooth.

Stumbling into Mr. Charles's compound was the definition of finding a miracle in the darkest hour.

Even capturing Gloria had proven to be an incredible tactical victory.

Interrogating her would undoubtedly expose a massive underground syndicate.

Every operative tied to her network was going to burn.

The local General's forces eventually caught wind of their escape and pursued them aggressively.

Claire and the team had maintained their cover flawlessly, even procuring crates of exceedingly rare medicinal herbs to solidify their 'doctor' alibi.

But that didn't stop the military's relentless dragnet.

Unfortunately for the General, his troops were too late.

Mr. Charles was leagues ahead of them.

To guarantee the safety of his grandson's new doctors, Mr. Charles unleashed his full military might.

His heavily armored private army intercepted the General's forces head-on.

The brutal standoff bought Claire's team the exact window they needed to vanish.

The General's men chased them all the way to the border, only to watch helplessly as Claire's convoy crossed safely into Solenia.

The extraction was a total success. Rumor had it the General's rogue commanders engaged in a massive firefight with Mr. Charles's army, resulting in hundreds of casualties on both sides.

No one knew how a ceasefire was eventually brokered.

Most likely, both warlords realized the escalating body count was bad for business and agreed to stand down.

Regardless, it was no longer Claire's problem.

Right now, she was obsessing over the contraband she had smuggled back.

"Technically speaking, it's highly illegal to use pangolin scales in domestic medical practice."
