StarNovelAlexander sat quietly in the car, seemingly waiting for something with a calm expression. Although he had many problems to
solve, he never lost his patience.
Ten more minutes passed, but it felt like hours. The house remained silent without a single sound. Suddenly, the communication
device in the car beeped, emitting a red light.
Alexander pressed the answer button, and a deep voice sounded, “Mr. Russell, we found him.”
Alexander heaved a sigh of relief, then opened his eyes, not allowing himself to be lax. “How's the situation?”
“He's unharmed.”

He nodded. “Extract him now.”
“But...” The caller sounded hesitant.
“What's the problem?”
“Well...” After a pause, another voice came.
Although it was weak, Alexander knew it was Cameron's voice. “It's me.”
“Cameron.”
“Tell them to leave without me,” Cameron said lowly.
“But why?” Stunned, Alexander soon caught on. “You want her to keep you hostage?”
“Yes, | can’t tell you much now. Just tell your men to leave. I'll explain when there’s a chance next time.” Cameron took a deep
breath, seemingly suffering from sdiscomfort.
Alexander frowned. “But you don’t sound like you're doing too well. Are you sure you're all right?
“I'm all right. | can manage,” Cameron tried to sound casual, “I must destroy the organization.”

“But...” After hesitating, Alexander continued, “I understand why you're doing this, but you're putting your life at risk.”
“] don’t care,” Cameron said indifferently, “Just tell your men to leave before it's too late.”
“Cameron—"
“Just listen to me!” Cameron continued, “Rhea is usingas a bargaining chip and will soon taketo meet the organization. If
you and | work together, we can end this. Besides... I've made my arrangements. You don’t have to worry about me, okay?”
Alexander could only listen since Cameron sounded coherent and seemed to have everything planned out. Besides, after knowing
Cameron for many years, Alexander knew it was impossible to change the former's mind.
“All right then,” Alexander answered, “Be careful, all right? Just get away the soonest you can.”
“I will,” Cameron then said no more.
