Chapter 385 Find Out

The two sides stayed in a deadlock.

Almost ten minutes passed like that.

In the end, a group of armed, well–trained personnel arrived one after another.

They immediately aimed their weapons at the people blocking the vehicle. The leader then knocked on the window beside Maya.

His voice came through the glass. “Miss, Mr. Clark sent us. You can leave now.”

Maya didn’t move. She lowered the window slightly, leaving only a small gap, and asked, “Where is my brother?”

Before the man could respond…

One of the people who had blocked the car spoke first, his tone full of obvious satisfaction.

“Dead.”

He laughed. “That was Snowfinch, kid. Do you think he ever goes easy? There is no way he would leave anyone alive.”

At that moment, the world around Maya went completely silent.

On Ned’s side, the moment he received the report, he immediately had people track Maya’s vehicle and dispatched every available unit to her position.

He also sent all remaining forces toward Alfred’s location.

But based on the timing, it was already too late.

Alfred’s battle with Snowfinch had been extremely brief. From the explosion to its end, only a few minutes had passed.

Even if reinforcements arrived now, no one could pull him out alive from Snowfinch’s grasp.

In this world, true top–level experts were extremely rare.

And by cruel coincidence, those two children had encountered one of them.

Maya reached for the car door.

Lawrence had clearly also heard everything.

He froze for a moment, then reacted and grabbed her hand tightly, his fingers turning pale.

“Maya.”

Maya turned to look at him.

Finished.

Her face remained calm. She showed almost no reaction and didn’t cry at all.

Sensing his emotions rising along with hers, Maya turned back and hugged him first before getting out. “It is fine. I will go and check.

You should go home first, Be good.”

‘I still have something to do.”

Lawrence opened his mouth slightly, then closed it again. His breathing was unsteady, and his face was very pale.

‘I want to stay with you.”

Noticing his state, Maya immediately raised her hand and touched his face. Her fingers were cold, but her one stayed soft. “I am fine. Go home first, alright?

‘It’s not safe outside.”

Maya wasn’t used to breaking down in front of him.

She was the older sister.

Her emotions couldn’t drag him down.

So she first calmed him and insisted he go home.

Lawrence hugged her tightly, resting his forehead against her shoulder, forcing down the emotions surging in his chest.

He didn’t want her to worry about him. He said softly, “I understand.

‘If you don’t need me, I will wait at home. I won’t cause trouble.

But don’t let anything happen to you.”

He buried his face against her shoulder and whispered, “You are all I have.”

Maya’s eyes grew warm. She nodded and promised, “I know. I promise.”

She didn’t cry, nor did she collapse.

Maya had always been somewhat unusual. The more critical the moment, the calmer she became.

Outside, the two sides were still in confrontation. The scene was chaotic. The professional mercenaries moved quickly, first detaining several peripheral members of Asterio for questioning.

Maya no longer had the mind to observe.

She asked the system, which had been silent until now, “Where is Alfred?”

The system didn’t hesitate and gave her the direction.

Finished

When Maya arrived, the air was filled with the suffocating smell of the explosion, mixed with burnt and chemical odors that stung her eyes.

What appeared before her were the ruins of the chemical plant. The ground was covered with shattered glass and broken concrete.

She felt lost at the sight.

She had come here.

Maybe…

She wouldn’t even be able to find him.
