Zacharias was momentarily taken aback. He was well aware that neither of them could bear to part with the other, nor could they

afford to lose the other.

“Now that I'm here, | won't leave,” Shirley asserted firmly. He had always thought that the power he wielded was effective at any

given time. Alas, he didn’t expect that it would be completely useless against her.

“Miss Lloyd, how many people have you brought over?” Freddie inquired as he approached the duo.

“There are eight of us, including my father and me. Four are with me, while two are with my father, Shirley replied succinctly.

“The other side has at least 50 people. What are we going to do now? The disparity in strength is far too great. Freddie sighed.

“How did this happen? Didn't you arrange for manpower when you set out?” she asked as her brows furrowed in confusion.

“We did arrange for a task force. Unfortunately, Mr. Watts was the organizer. So, we only realized that Mr. Watts was also an enemy

once we made it here. This was a trap from the get- go. Anyone who has set foot on this island is their target, and they're shooting

to kill,” Freddie explained with a vexed look on his face. The expression he was currently wearing was quite a stark contrast to his

usual warm smile.

Shirley looked up at Zacharias. At this moment, she knew that he was definitely hurt and disappointed. The one he trusted, one of

his inner circle, had betrayed him.

“It's a disgrace. He was even Mr. Flintstone’s friend! So, Mr. Zacharias naturally held him in high regard and placed a great deal of

trust in him. Who would have thought something like this could happen?” Roy huffed angrily.

“There's no point dwelling on it now that we're in this situation. We need to cup with a plan if we want to get out of here and

make them pay, Zacharias said while glancing at Shirley. He couldn't let her die here, not on his watch.

Shirley's gaze was fixed on him as well. Her eyes conveyed that even if she were to die here, she would do anything to save him.

The selfless concern they bore for one another was just another reason that neither of them would be able to let the other go. The

mutual sentiment they shared motivated them to get back down to business even though they were stuck between a rock and a

hard place.

Nixon pondered over their options as he said carefully, “It's not that we don’t have reinforcements on the way. The problem is that

we're not sure whether they could make it on time.” “We have reinforcements? Are you sure about that? The operation this time

was confidential, and Mr. Webb cut off all possible support routes. We-" “If only you knew just how much Mrs. Lloyd cares for Mr.

Lloyd, then you'd know she’d definitely notice something amiss. Plus, Miss Lloyd is here,” Nixon interjected confidently.

“Are you saying my mother will call for help?” Shirley's eyes brightened with hope.

“I'm certain that Mrs. Lloyd will do so,” Nixon affirmed, utterly convinced. Indeed, he was correct in his assumption. Angela had

noticed it was past 11.00PM, and neither her husband nor her daughter had returned. Although she was safe at home, how could

she possibly sleep?

She had tried calling them without success. Then, she attempted to call Richard's associates. Alas, she couldn't reach anyone

either. Angela, who was accustomed to living with Richard for years, was keenly attuned to danger. This prompted her to call her

husband’s subordinate, who was stationed nearby.

“Jace, find out where Richard is right now. | need to know where he is.” “Of course, Mrs. Lloyd.” The man wasted no tcarrying

out her command.

In less than a minute, he reported, “It's strange. We can’t track Mr. Lloyd's location at all.” “What do you mean you can’t track

him? Don’t you have the most advanced tracking devices available?” Angela questioned sharply.

Jace was unable to locate him after several attempts. Eventually, he raised his suspicions and suggested tentatively, “Mr. Lloyd

may be stuck in a location that has somehow jammed all signals.” Angela quickly started recalling just where her husband and

daughter had gone.

Wasn't it where Zacharias was supposed to deal with those dangerous individuals? Now that she couldn't reach them, it was

evident they were in danger.

“Jace, quickly dispatch people to Easternia. Immediately! Richard is in danger, and even Mr. Flintstone is in danger. Hurry!” Angela

urged urgently.

Then, her next call was to Ren, and she explained the situation to him. Shortly after, six helicopters took off, and the special forces

were mobilized in the nearest base to Easternia.

On the other hand, Zacharias and the others decided to head to where Nixon and the others had parked the helicopter after their

lengthy discussion in the cave. They intended to leave this place as soon as possible.

Zacharias wanted to ensure Shirley's departure. Shirley was of the smind, except she wanted to ensure his departure from

this hazardous island.
