Chapter 955 Infiltrating the Base
“Yeah. Please listen to me and remain here. Don’t go wandering off, okay?” Sophie reminded Ysabelle in concern. She was worried that Ysabelle would disappear without anyone’s knowing.
“Don’t worry! I won’t stray away. I know how dangerous it is here.” All of them intended to leave that place as soon as they had Felix.
Ysabelle did not want to be there for even a moment longer than necessary.
“Good. I’m relieved to hear that. You must be the first person Felix would want to see when he gets out,” Sophie reassured her.
“I’ve been so mean to him. Why would he still want to see me?” Ysabelle truly had treated him terribly. She had been much too proud and stubborn, which was why Felix had ended up in that place.
If I hadn’t quarreled with Felix, he wouldn’t be here, and all these things wouldn’t have happened…
“You didn’t do anything wrong. You are Ysabelle, the Ysabelle that he loves the most.
How can she think so badly of herself just because of this incident? She did nothing wrong at all! After all, all lovers have their quarrels.
Ysabelle threw herself into Sophie’s arms.
“Promise me that all of you will get back to me safely!” Any place that she could not step foot in must be a dangerous place.
“Yes, of course, we’ll come back in one piece.” Sophie gently wiped away Ysabelle’s tears with her thumb. “Be strong. After going through all this, you have to become more mature.”
“Yes, I understand.” It’s true! I really should be stronger. I’m always relying on others to clean up my mess. I really should grow up and handle my own problems!
Bertram was upset to find out that Tristan would not take him along with him.
“Mr. Tristan, let me go with you! I’ve always been by your side. I know exactly what you need and when you need it. We’re such a good team!”
Bertram was worried for Tristan.
“Don’t worry about it. Sophie will be with me. Your job is to stay here and keep an eye on Ysabelle.” Watching over Ysabelle was no easy task either.
“Mr. Tristan, can’t the three of us go together?” After all, one more person means one more pair of eyes!
“You have to wait for us outside! If there are too many of us, we risk being discovered, and it would certainly not end well.” The two of them still had to locate Felix once they got in. “Who would take care of the situation outside if there’s no one competent waiting out here?”
Tristan knew he could rely on Bertram as the latter was incredibly capable.
“Okay, I understand! I’ll wait for you outside. I won’t let you down. I’ll do my best no matter what happens!
“Go find a Chanacan cook. Neither Sophie nor Ysabelle likes the local cuisine. Let’s make sure they get a good dinner tonight.”
“Okay, I’ll do as you say.”
Bertram really admired Sophie. As befitting a woman worthy of Tristan’s affection, she was easily able to find Felix’s whereabouts.
That night, Sophie was pleasantly surprised to see the table full of Chanaean dishes. She glanced gratefully at Tristan. Even at a time and place like this, he still makes the effort to take care of me!
Ysabelle, however, had lost her appetite.
“What’s wrong? Eat something. You’ve been looking thinner and thinner these few days. Felix will be upset when he sees you like this,” Sophie coaxed Ysabelle, placing a bowl of soup in front of her.
“Yeah…”
Although she now knew where Felix was, she was still in the dark about what had happened to him. Her heart would not settle down until he stood in front of her.
Soon after dinner and before it got dark. Tristan and Sophie went to the armory to pick out their weapons. Bertram went along with them. His anxiety was written all over his face.
Seeing him so jittery, Tristan said, “Don’t come with us! Your nervousness is ruining my mood!”
Bertram was upset by Tristan’s order. Is it wrong of me to worry about them? That Kaarle is a dangerous man! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to abduct Mr. Northley so easily and without anyone even realizing it!
The corners of Sophie’s lips twitched involuntarily. She found Bertram’s antics rather amusing,
Sophie picked out a weapon and strapped it to her body. She was familiar with all the types of weapons in the armory, so she did not have to think too hard about her choice.
Tristan, too, was the same. He had used all these weapons before. Besides, they would be infiltrating a military base. There would surely be weapons in there if they needed any more.
“Is that enough?” Bertram could not help fussing.
“Of course, it’s enough! How are we supposed to move stealthily if we’re carrying too many weapons?” We’re going in there to rescue someone, not blow up the place!
“Okay, okay!” Bertram acceded, throwing up his hands in defeat.
Ysabelle was waiting for them outside when they emerged from the armory. Her weak figure was a heartbreaking sight.
“Okay, we’re going now. Take care.” Sophie wrapped Ysabelle in a farewell hug before walking away with Tristan by her side.
Both of them were dressed inconspicuously in black to allow them to sneak around undetected. Despite the simple outfit, the two of them still carried a distinctive air.
“Be careful.”
They were the most important people in her life. She felt terrible that, at that moment, there was nothing she could do to help them.
“We will.” Tristan had always been a rather detached and emotionless person. He did not bother to say any words of comfort to Ysabelle. To him, such talk was pointless.
Sophie and Tristan slid into the car that would bring them to Kaarle’s military base. It was only a matter of time before they killed Kaarle.
After all, he was just too evil and a plague upon the people of Fandar.
“Don’t worry! The two of them are invincible when they are together!” Bertram said to lighten the mood when he noticed the forlorn expression on Ysabelle’s face.
Ysabelle nodded listlessly.
“Bert, do you think Felix will be okay?” It’s been so many days! Can he hold on for so long?
“Of course, he’ll be just fine. He’s got such a beautiful woman here waiting for him. He must be holding on!”
“I really hope so…”
Ysabelle’s stomach was churning with anxiety, but there was nothing she could do except wait.
In the deep of the night, two shadowy figures, one tall and one a little shorter, climbed over the wall and slipped into Kaarle’s military base quickly and quietly.
Before they scaled the wall, Sophie had already hacked into the surveillance system. She had her phone in her hand as she disabled the surveillance cameras wherever they went.
Hence, she felt fearless even though they were in a heavily armed and guarded military base. Non there were sentries scattered all around the base.
The two of them stayed nimble and vigilant. During the few seconds when the sentinels looked aw couple would steal past them.
At that moment, the two of them were pressed up against a large tree when blinding floodlights flashe
their direction.
The duo froze in their position.
“How are you? Tired?” Tristan whispered in her ear. They had not slowed down their pace ever since they snuck into the base.
“Don’t worry! I’m fine. Keep going. I’ll keep up with you.” She knew how strong Tristan was. If the two of them were to get into a fight, she was not certain she would be his match.
“Let’s go then.”
“Wait a minute. Since we’ve hacked into their system, let’s try to find out where Felix is first.”
They could not keep mesking sent heir
