Chapter 954 A Clue
Meanwhile, Arthur gave the photo to his subordinates and instructed them to contact the others. Sure enough, it did not take long before there was news on the matter.
“Mr. Camidge, that person was taken away by Kaarle from Anglandur. You know what he’s like. If he discovers that we’re the ones who leaked the news…
Our lives in Fandar are already hard enough as it is. If that happens. I’m afraid things will only get worse. Kaarle is ruthless. More importantly, he possesses an incredible array of weaponry. It’s so powerful to the point that he’s practically invincible.
Arthur lit a cigarette. “That’s enough. Ms. Tanner requested my assistance, so I’ll definitely help her, even if it means death. Are you sure Kaarle has that person?”
Kaarle goes around breaking the law and committing crimes in Fandar. If we succeed in taking him down, the people of Fandar can also finally lead peaceful lives.
“I was only cautioning you, Mr. Camidge. However, no matter your decision, I’ll surely support you.”
“Okay. I’m going to look for Ms. Tanner.” Arthur rose to his feet and headed directly to the base camp where Sophie was.
A bodyguard stopped him the moment he arrived. This time. Tristan and the others had brought many bodyguards with them.
“I’m here to see Ms. Tanner,” he said calmly.
The bodyguard glanced at him. Thinking that Sophie must have been the one who told Arthur about her whereabouts since he knew she was there, the bodyguard let him through.
When Sophie saw Arthur had arrived, she got up from her chair and greeted him.
“How are things, Mr. Camidge?” she asked. With his capabilities, there won’t be any problems as long as his subordinates have seen Felix.
“Kaarle has him. Ms. Tanner. However, you should also know that he’s Anglandur’s largest arms dealer. Hence, he has many high-tech weapons in his possession,” Arthur replied. Although we know where that person is, it’s hard to say whether it’s possible to rescue him.
“Kaarle?” Tristan echoed. I haven’t heard much about this guy before since Bertram is the one who usually handles everything on this end.
Bertram immediately brought over a tablet and pulled up information on Kaarle. “This guy is ruthless. No matter what he does, he always acts unscrupulously. To him, it’s all about the money.”
“Thank you, Mr. Camidge. I’ll treat you to a meal when I’m free.” Sophie could not help feeling grateful for Arthur’s tremendous help.
He shook his head. Feeling worried, he said, “Ms. Tanner, Kaarle is truly a force to be reckoned with. Whatever action you decide to take, you must be careful. Also, you have to let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Camidge. We’ll take care of this Kaarle guy. I won’t let him threaten your safety.” She had also read the information on Kaarle. If he finds out Mr. Camidge and his men were responsible for leaking this information to us, there’s no way he’ll spare them.
“Ms. Tanner, our lives and deaths on this earth are determined by our fates. You don’t have to worry about me. You only need to take care of yourself.”
“Okay. Let me walk you to the door,” Sophie replied, personally seeing Arthur out.
“I’ll be on my way now, Ms. Tanner. I know you’re very busy. I’m serious, though. If you need anything, just let me know. I’ll be there,” he reminded. No one else knew Fandar better than he did.
“This is a fight between our forces. It has nothing to do with you, so you don’t have to bother about it,” came her reply. When the time comes, we can leave. However, Mr. Camidge and the rest still have to continue living here. That’s why I can’t possibly allow him to get involved in this matter.
“Okay. Just be careful.” Arthur still felt uneasy. After all, Kaarle was really powerful.
After sending off Arthur. Sophie turned around and saw Tristan standing behind her. She walked over to
him.
“What’s the matter? At least we now know where Felix is, All we have to do is go and scout the situation, she said, fully trusting what Arthur had told them.
“Who knows what condition he’s in now that he’s in Kaarle’s hands!” Just thinking about all the ways Kaarle could torture Felix made Tristan feel a sense of suffocation.
“Let’s wait until it gets dark. Then, we’ll sneak in and have a look, Sophie said while holding his hand. Kaarle also had a military base there, which was where Felix was. I’m afraid it won’t do Felix any good if we were to lead a group of us and barge in with much fanfare. We must slip quietly into the lion’s den. That’s the only way we can rescue him.
He gave a murmur of agreement. It would be easier to sneak in when it was dark, but he did not want her
to go.
“I can go alone. You should stay here and watch over Ysabelle. Don’t let anything happen to her,” he replied, thinking about how upset Ysabelle had been the past few days.
“Do you think that’s really going to happen? With my skills, the chances of successfully getting Felix out are much higher if we go together.” She was not about to let him take such a risk by himself. This is a rescue mission, not a suicide mission.
“I’ll ask Bertram to go with me.”
Sophie stared at him wordlessly, not wanting to talk anymore. Are my skills not as good as Bertram’s? Why won’t he let me go?
Tristan drew her into his arms.
“That Kaarle is quite powerful, so I don’t want to put you in danger,” he explained. Since she was a woman, he felt she should stay safely at the rear and leave things like charging into battle to the men.
“I want to go with you,” she insisted. I’m going to say it just this once. If he refuses again, I’ll really get mad.
Planting a kiss on her forehead, he replied, “Trust me, okay? I promise I’ll return safely.”
“You should trust me once, too. I told you. I’ve decided to be with you, so no matter what happens in the future, we should face it together.”
“Mm, okay.” In the end. Tristan was the one who relented as he understood her all too well. He knew if he did not bring her, she would still go on her own.
After that, Sophie went looking for Ysabelle.
Pulling Ysabelle up, she said, “You don’t have to look anymore. We’ve already found a clue.”
Ysabelle was slightly taken aback,
“Are you serious? Sophie, you’re not lying to me, are you? You should know I’ll be furious if you deceive me. To Ysabelle, Felix’s situation was not a laughing matter at all.
“I’m not lying to you. When have I ever lied to you?” Sophie responded while leading her out.
“In that case, where is he now? Is he okay? Can I go to see him now?” That was what Ysabelle cared about the most at that moment. Nothing else mattered to her.
“We know where he is, but you can’t see him yet. We’ll go and bring him back tonight.”
“Really? Ysabelle asked, growing somewhat agitated. “Is he hurt?”
She could not help wondering how Felix was after he had gone missing for so many days.
“I really couldn’t tell you. We’ll have to wait until tonight to find out,” Sophie replied. She could understand how Ysabelle was feeling.
“I can’t go with you, right?” Ysabelle knew that with her skills, she would only cause more inconvenience for them if she went.
“That’s right. As you know, your skills aren’t good enough,” Sophie replied bluntly without beating around the bush.
“All right. Be careful, then. You and Uncle Tristan must be careful.” Having seen how cruel the world could be, Ysabelle was genuinely worried about them.
