Chapter 1841: Arriving at the Right Time
"No, our equipment is all satellite-based. There can't be no signal inside, otherwise, how would they
communicate with the outside?" Felix pondered for a moment. "If by any chance there really is no
signal, according to the original plan, you lead the team in half an hour later. We'll go in and explore the
place."
"Alright, that's settled," Mr. Ball nodded.
Before leaving, Mr. Ball reminded Felix, "No matter what happens, don't act impulsively. Think about
the entire Saunders family. If you encounter danger inside, it's better to find a place to hide and wait for
us to come in."
"Got it," Felix replied impatiently.
Following that, Felix and Wu Hao sneaked into the place from where the two men in black had
emerged earlier.
They descended along the narrow stairs and entered the interior of the semi-basement. Once inside,
they discovered a hidden world that was much larger than they had imagined. There was a corridor that
led to an endless abyss, as well as several forks whose destinations were unknown.
The terrain was intricate and complex, and although it was a dark corner, it was well-maintained with no
musty smell. The fresh air system was on 24/7. The floor was covered with European-style antique
tiles, and the walls were uneven with siliceous mud. The furniture and decorations all exuded a dark
atmosphere.
Felix understood it all too well-Cloud was indeed cunning. No wonder this place had become their
stronghold. It was truly a good location.
Felix and Wu Hao exchanged glances and quietly proceeded, preparing to investigate separately.
As they walked deeper, another man in black suddenly appeared. He, too, wore a head covering that
only revealed his eyes.
The man complained upon seeing them, "Why did you take so long? The boss is waiting for the
meeting, what are you standing around for? Hurry up!"
Felix knew that the men in black recognized them by the numbers on their clothes.
At this moment, Felix and Wu Hao dared not speak, fearing they would give themselves away, so they
nodded in agreement. A meeting? Where were they going to have the meeting? What if they went in
the wrong direction and were discovered? Felix made up his mind. When in doubt, rely on guesswork.
He headed straight for the end of the corridor.
But then, the man in black stopped them.
"Wait."
Felix halted his steps, feeling a sudden shock. Damn it, did they go the wrong way? Or did they reveal
a flaw?
Meanwhile, Wu Hao discreetly placed his hands behind his back, fully alert and ready to fight at any
moment.
Unexpectedly, the man in black said, "Why are both of you going? The boss doesn't like too many
people. One of you is enough."
Felix felt relieved, realizing he had guessed correctly.
He signaled to Wu Hao with his eyes, indicating for him to secretly investigate while Felix attended the
meeting. He wanted to hear what Cloud's next move would be.
Wu Hao understood and placed his hand by his side, making a discreet OK gesture.
Shortly after, Wu Hao turned around first, and his sturdy figure disappeared into the complex maze of
corridors.
Felix continued until he reached the end of the corridor. He was cautious, trying not to make any
unusual sounds. Sure enough, there was a door at the end. He hesitated whether to open it. At that
moment, another man in black walked over and opened the door before him.
Felix quickly followed behind the man in black, making it less likely for them to be noticed by others.
Once inside, the space was large, with about dozens of men in black standing respectfully.
Felix quickly positioned himself at the back of the line of men in black.
After a while, Cloud emerged from the inner room. He walked all the way to the chair in front and sat
down.
Felix held his breath and focused. His gaze wandered around, observing the internal structure of the
entire room. He calculated how he would leave later, and how he would escape if discovered. It was at
this moment that he heard a familiar series of footsteps.
He looked up abruptly-it was Vicki.
He was too familiar with everything about her. Whenever she came to his office before, even if she was
far away, he could hear her footsteps in advance. Sometimes he would stand by the window,
deliberately not turning around. When she approached him, he would suddenly turn around andnovelbin
embrace her tightly, teasing her. He had never missed a beat. So, he knew it was her.
Having not seen her for some time, he couldn't control himself and greedily gazed at Vicki. She
seemed colder than before, with a cold and expressionless face. No one knew what she was thinking.
She seemed thinner, with deeper and more beautiful features. Everything about her attracted him. He
had long been unableto resist. If it weren't on Cloud's turf, he would have rushed forward and
embraced her right now.
He desperately held back. He noticed that Vicki had a special device on her wrists and ankles, likely an
electronic lock. He had heard of such things before; Cloud probably had a remote control for it. Once
Vicki broke free from Cloud's control, he would activate the electronic lock, emitting a slight electric
current that would render Vicki helpless.
Felix silently rejoiced, grateful that he had thought of this. He had obtained a simplified version of an
electromagnetic pulse metal rod from Luther. It could emit electromagnetic pulses, causing circuit
failures, disrupting shortwave communication, burning power fuses, breaking insulation layers, shutting
down wireless control devices, and disabling alarm control systems within a radius of a hundred
meters.
With this, he would be able to cut off the wireless control and rescue Vicki smoothly.
Since entering the room, Vicki hadn't said a word. She stood coldly behind Cloud.
Cloud began to talk about the agenda for tonight's meeting.
As Felix listened, he understood. In fact, they had already guessed it-Athena had been transferred to a
safe place and was currently recovering. The discussion revolved around the allocation of personnel
and necessary precautions.
From the conversation, Felix deduced that Cloud was planning to change their base of operations.
They had come at the right time tonight. If they had arrived one day later, Cloud would have taken Vicki
and left this place, meeting up with Athena. Finding Vicki would be even more difficult for him in that
case. However, the cunning Cloud didn't reveal any other information during this meeting, especially
about their next plans. It seemed that only a few trusted individuals would be privy to such details.
Felix felt fortunate in his heart that he had decided to take action tonight. Any later, and it would have
been too late.
Unexpectedly, when he raised his gaze, he found Vicki's eyes scanning towards him.
Her gaze was sharp, like a leopard squinting its eyes, scrutinizing him intently.
Felix couldn't help but feel guilty under her piercing gaze, and a layer of sweat formed on his back.
How could Vicki possibly recognize him? He was dressed like this, with only his eyes exposed. If she
could still recognize him, he would be astonished.
