Rather than arguing with her, Jonah provided an explanation. “It’s your first time in Jadeborough, and you’re unfamiliar with the area. Mr. Lund merely wants to ensure your safety, Ms. Harris.” 

Gwendolyn gave up trying to head out. She wasn’t in the mood to stroll around, let alone get to know Erihal better. 

Her immediate concern was when Charles would arrive. “When can I expect to meet your master?” she inquired. 

“I believe Mr. Lund will be here by the time you finish your lunch,” Jonah told her. 

He then glanced at the two foreign bodyguards behind him, who stepped forward to search Nico’s body. 

Nico tensed up warily. “What do you want?” 

Gwendolyn took one step forward to block Nico before demanding, “What is this about? Does he not trust me? Is he afraid I will do something that could harm Erihal?” 

Jonah explained, “Ms. Harris, I hope you and your bodyguard will cooperate with us. Now that you’ve arrived in Erihal, we must check if you are in possession of restricted weapons and firearms.” 

has been checked before we boarded the plane. This is unnecessary,” Gwendolyn snapped coldly. 

“I’m sorry, but please cooperate with us. 

Jonah didn’t bother explaining anymore as the two bodyguards stepped forward to search their bodies. 

They dared not lay a hand on Gwendolyn as she was of the opposite sex, so they got a down. 

got a maid to pat her 

Naturally, they didn’t find anything. After ordering their suitcases to be opened, Jonah discovered a 

intricate plane model in Gwendolyn’s suitcase. 

As he was about to bend down and pick it up for closer inspection, Gwendolyn snapped, “Be careful! That’s a toy my brother gave me. It’s quite valuable. If you break it, even your employer wouldn’t be able to compensate me, let alone you!” 

Jonah halted in his tracks and was forced to retract his hand. 

After searching their suitcases and making sure there weren’t any dangerous items, Jonah ordered the bodyguards to retrieve all communication devices. 

All electronic devices, including laptops, Bluetooth earphones, recording pens, and any other electronic devices were confiscated. In the end, he even requested to confiscate Gwendolyn and Nico’s phones, as well as Nico’s electronic watch. 

Gwendolyn’s patience wore thin, and she glared at him furiously. “Taking away my phone leaves me feeling insecure. Isn’t this going too far?” 

Jonah remained unfazed. He gave her a polite bow and said, “I’m sorry Ms. Harris, but we’re merely following orders. You can pose that question to Mr. Lund when he shows up later.” 

“Get out. I want to rest now.”

As they refused to budge, she didn’t bother being nice to them and told Nico to kick them all out. 

Nico then slammed the door shut. 

They silently stood behind the thin white curtains, observing the situation outside.

Outside the apartment, Jonah left two bodyguards to keep watch before leaving in the Bentley alone. 

Besides the bodyguards, there was also a maid sweeping the courtyard. 

When Gwendolyn was busy observing the people outside, Nico got to work. 

He skillfully checked below the tables, the corners of the bed, the tops of the lights, and the vases, eventually discovering three small listening devices. Carefully, he placed them on the coffee table. 

After surveying their surroundings, Gwendolyn closed and locked the window. Heading to the couch, she took a seat and picked up a listening device. 

“I can’t believe he’s resorting to such tricks. He’s even bugging my room! What a p*rvert. He’s nothing but scum!” Gwendolyn declared angrily, tossing the listening device away with force. 

Nico stopped her and retrieved the listening device. 

“Don’t throw it away just yet. I remember where they were planted. After we finish talking, I’ll put them back. Charles is smart but paranoid. Even if you try reasoning with him, and he agrees to stop bugging our room, he might find a way to continue spying on us in secret behind our backs,” Nico advised. 

Gwendolyn nodded and calmly gathered her thoughts. “Open the suitcase and find out how many things they confiscated.” 

Nico immediately brought her suitcase over. 

The bodyguards were thorough and careful. They confiscated everything except for the plane model Asher gifted her a while ago. 

Previously, Gwendolyn had underestimated the significance of the plane and had paid little attention to it. However, a few days ago, she discovered that it was actually a mini bomb capable of detonating under certain conditions. 

The shell of the plane model was constructed from a special material that could evade detection during security checks. 

This feat was easily accomplished by Asher as he was known as the world’s best pilot. 

Gwendolyn gently rubbed her emerald ring and frowned, falling into deep thought. 

Nico sighed. “Other than the two weapons provided by Mr. Asher and Mr. Kieran, we don’t have anything else. I’m afraid we won’t be able to get the antidote by force. Without any communication devices, we’ve lost all contact with Chanaea. Ms. Gwendolyn, what’s your plan?” 

Gwendolyn fell silent for a long while. The trip was more difficult than she had imagined. 

Nevertheless, she was not one to back down when faced with difficulties. 

“There’s no need to be scared. Now that we’re here, we’ll make further arrangements after meeting Charles.”

Nico nodded and proceeded to share with her the details he had gathered about the royal family of Erihal during their journey. 

At the same time, night fell upon Salinsburgh, Chanaca, casting a shroud of darkness over the city and bringing about a tranquil stillness. 

Craig’s office in the Federal Bureau of Investigation was brightly lit. 

“Mr. Craig, Mr. Jenson has returned to the Jenson residence this afternoon, accompanied by Mr. Kieran and Mr. Treyton from the Harris family…” 

Clad in his military uniform, Craig sat on his seat and listened to the report while smoking his cigar. “The Harris boys followed him to the Jenson residence? Did any of them get off the car along the journey?” 

His subordinate replied honestly, “No.” 

“That’s strange.” 

Craig put out his cigar nonchalantly as he pondered over the matter. “What about Cedrick when he left the lab?” 

“He was wearing a black fur coat and sunglasses, looking intimidating and handsome and usual.” 

Craig furrowed his brows and tapped on the desk impatiently. “I mean, his condition!” 

His subordinate trembled profusely as he tried to recall the scenario. “Mr. Treyton was helping him, and they were walking briskly. Mr. Jenson appeared to be in good condition.” 

“Help?” Craig swiftly caught the main point. A smile crept across his face as he ordered, “The more ordinary it appears, the more suspicious he is! Keep monitoring them closely. Dispatch a team to the Jenson residence under the pretext of delivering the monthly mission report. Try to arrange a meeting with him and gather information about his condition.” 

“Yes, Mr. Craig.” 

After his subordinate left, Craig put off his cigar as his gaze turned dark. 

Back at Harrick Villa, Treyton woke up in the middle of the night and got worried about Cedrick. Hence, he went to the master bedroom to check on the latter.
