You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 2022

Chapter 2022: Revealing Her True Face

On the shore of South Island, several figures dressed in black diving suits emerged from the water, securing their hooks on the rocks and beginning to climb upwards. The submarine that brought them had already returned to its original location, maintaining a safe distance. Once on the rocks, the darkness was almost suffocating, with little visibility.

Removing their diving gear and hiding it in the crevices of the rocks, they prepared to blend in upon their return. As they gathered in a spacious area of the rocks, suddenly, a dozen or so people emerged from the concealed rock formations, surrounding them in an instant. The black-clad individuals looked at each other in shock, their eyes the only visible sign of fear. Their mission was meant to remain covert, but they were apprehended as soon as they landed.

One of them, a slender figure, fell to the ground with a thud. "Oh my, " she lamented, a voice that sounded vaguely familiar, belonging to a middle-aged woman. Aaron, along with his elite guard, all Special Forces and military veterans, bellowed, "You are surrounded! Drop your weapons!"

As his guard advanced upon his command, the black-clad individuals begrudgingly gave up their weapons. "Take off your masks and strip off your night gear, " Aaron commanded. The black-clad individuals exchanged glances before reaching into their waistbands and swiftly ingesting something, sending them into a frenzy of convulsions and pain before succumbing to the effects of the poison within a minute's time.

Luther, emerging from the shadows, suddenly shouted, "They're trying to take their own lives!" With a swift leap, he targeted the slender figure who, moments before, had let out a cry of despair. He quickly disarmed her, preventing her from self-inflicting harm. She was restrained by two guards, rendered immobilized.
