"What?" George froze, "Are you saying that Ivan didn't plan to escape with Violet, but wanted to fight you to the death on Fallen Phoenix Mountain?"
Stanley nodded, "It's obvious, isn't it? From the moment he gave me the challenge letter, he had no intention of playing cat and mouse with me all the time. Sooner or later, there would be a face-to-face duel between him and I. If he disappeared after showing his face every time, how could I duel with him?"
George nodded, "That makes sense."
"Secondly, Ivan is not stupid, if he really wanted to take Violet away and not let me catch him, then he would have destroyed the surveillance along the way before he appeared at the club, so that we couldn't capture the route he took to escape."
"So what you're saying is that Ivan is deliberately exposing his whereabouts, and then is luring you to Fallen Phoenix Mountain to fight you to the death on it." George looked at him.
"That's right." Stanley nodded.
"It seems that there must have been an ambush on Fallen Phoenix Mountain." George added.
Stanley's face was gloomy, "If Stanley hadn't kidnapped someone I cared about, then I definitely wouldn't have gone, he knew I wouldn't go over there even though there was a trap, so he took Violet, only then could he guarantee that I would definitely go over."
Violet was his weakness, which everyone knew.
It is not surprising that Ivan would take advantage of this.
"When are you leaving?" George didn't ask anything else, just this one question.
Stanley gave him a look, "Now."
You can't put off saving your loved one, the sooner the better.
"It's okay to leave now, but I have a proposal." George said.
Stanley looked at him, waiting for his next words.
George narrowed his eyes, "Although the Fallen Phoenix Mountain can not directly use the helicopter to go to the top, but can reach the foot of the mountain, you can first dispatch a team of advance troops to go over, check whether Ivan left an ambush on the way up the mountain, if there is, you can let the advance troops destroy, and we, arrive behind can unimpeded, so that the progress is faster."
At these words, Stanley fell silent, thinking that it made sense.
He then instructed the security guard, "Do as Dr. Joe says, and in addition, sneak in another sniper to set off alone and go up the cliff."
"You're trying to attack him secretly?" George immediately understood Stanley's intention.
Stanley's voice was devoid of a trace of emotion, "If there was a chance, wouldn't it be better to just shoot him down?"
Ivan wanted to duel with him, but he just wanted to finish Ivan in the fastest way possible.
He doesn't have that much spare time to play some back-and-forth battle with Ivan, it's just a waste of time.
"As expected of you, Mr. Murphy, you are so straightforward in your actions, but this matter, have you filed it with the officials at home and in this country? Otherwise when a human life dies in your hands, it won't be easy for you to set things right, will it?"
"You don't need to remind me of this kind of thing, get in!" Stanley didn't have time to waste in talking with George, striding towards a car at the front of the line.
George shrugged his shoulders, then picked up his pace and followed.
On the way, not a single person in the car spoke, and the atmosphere was gut-wrenchingly oppressive.
It was only when Fraser's phone call came that the atmosphere was broken slightly.
"Mr. Murphy, I heard from the people below that Madam was taken away by Ivan, is that true?" Fraser asked in an anxious tone.
Stanley did not answer, the meaning was indeed obvious, it was true.
