A flicker of irritation flashed in Sierra’s eyes, but she quickly smoothed it over, then gave a small nod. Watching her get into the car with Johnathan, her face cold and distant, White felt immensely satisfied.
Things on Sierra’s end were under control now. The only thing left was figuring out how to get her away from Johnathan.
She wasn’t wrong–Johnathan was incredibly capable. Spiriting someone away without a trace wouldn’t be easy.
But White had been planning this for too long to let “impossible” stop him. He already had a plan.
In the car, Sierra and Johnathan didn’t say a single word. The tension between them was so heavy that even the driver could feel it.
Back at the estate, once they were in their room, Johnathan checked everything carefully. Only after making sure the room was secure did they finally relax.
Sierra spoke quickly.
“Did you hear our conversation today? He said his lab is on a private island.”
Their goal wasn’t just to take White down – they wanted to dismantle his entire organization.
“I heard. He Chenzhou and I have already been investigating. We’ve almost confirmed the location.”
—
A private island in international waters combined with the general area White mentioned – gave them a solid lead. Now they just needed to gather solid evidence.
“Good.”
Sierra let out a sigh of relief. All their pretending hadn’t been in vain.
“I got word today the guy with the implant is already showing signs of neurological disturbance.”
–
That chip was dangerous.
Sierra scowled.
“Whoever’s behind this research deserves to rot.”
The brain was the most delicate part of the human body, with a tangle of nerves and blood vessels.
To think someone was trying to interfere with it using external means under the guise of “brain development” – it was nothing short of aggressive assault.
“So, in the next few days, I should act more emotionally unstable.”
Sierra had been putting on the performance of a lifetime just to keep up the charade.
“You’ve worked so hard.”

Johnathan’s heart ached. He hadn’t wanted her involved in something so dangerous, but with White targeting her directly, there was no way around it.
“I don’t think it’s hard at all. Honestly, watching him run in circles has been pretty satisfying.”
White had spent so long in the shadows, constantly making trouble for them.
Now, the tables had turned. It was finally White’s turn to suffer.
And just thinking about taking down White and his organization completely made everything worth it.
Those drugs, those chips they never should’ve existed.
“That Nate guy knows a lot. I think we should get him under control.”
Sierra made the suggestion.
“We’re already working on it.”
Johnathan replied.
They hadn’t even known about Nate before. But now that they did, they weren’t letting him off the hook.
Unlike White, Nate had weaknesses.
And weaknesses could be used.
At that moment, Greg was giving Nate a lecture.
“You’re in your twenties already. Sitting around the house all day – what do you think that looks like?” “Starting tomorrow, you’re going to work at the company. You need some real–world training.”
“Can I not go?”
Nate mumbled, head down, voice timid.
He always acted introverted and shy – and that’s exactly why no one had ever suspected him of being tied to the organization.
If it hadn’t been for Shane “joining” them, no one would’ve ever guessed this almost invisible guy was behind so many twisted experiments.
Based on what he’d revealed before, Nate was essentially second–in–command. White handled the big picture – Nate dealt with logistics.,
Looking at his little brother, Greg felt helpless and frustrated.
“You can’t keep avoiding people. Sure, I’m here to cover for you now – but what about later? What will you do then?”
“…Greg.”
Nate said softly, then fell silent again.

“…Okay.”

time weighed on him.
He really had been a loner before – just focused on his work – until White discovered him.
Then White used Greg as leverage.
That’s how Nate got roped in.
Now, it was too late to turn back.
Taking a deep breath, he picked up the phone and called Shane.
If White wanted to get Sierra out, Shane would be essential. They arranged to meet. But the moment Nate stepped into the He turned to leave – but Johnathan’s voice stopped him cold. “If you walk out now, I can’t guarantee your brother will be safe.”
