Chapter 384 Do I Even Have a Choice?
The RV’s interior had been modified, and now a detailed black map with a blinking red dot was displayed on the large screen on one side.
Inken pointed to the red dot and said, “The person is still heading toward Caltun. Judging by their speed. they should be walking, which aligns with our previous speculation.”
Michael, Jakob, and even the elites of The Green Flamation forum were present to rescue Brisa this time.
Freya turned her head and looked at the convoy behind her, saying, “This is too conspicuous. It could easily expose our tracks.”
“It doesn’t matter if our tracks are exposed. Now that we have more people, even if they find out, they can’t. do anything. Inken’s face became serious. On the contrary, if only a few of them were traveling together. and they were discovered, they would really be in danger.
The convoy headed toward the outskirts, and along the way, Inken prepared some weapons and equipment for Freya. He also handed her a bulletproof vest.
If Freya hadn’t refused, he would have given her a bulletproof helmet as well.
The convoy gradually approached the red dot, but due to the distance, it took nearly forty minutes to close to the red dot.
Judging from the location, Brisa should have just passed through a village.
Everyone became nervous, and Inken notified everyone to be on guard through the earpiece.
Finally, on a country road, the car headlights illuminated the woman walking in front of them, and they saw her clearly.
Brisa, who was carrying a bag on her back, looked disheveled. She regarded the approaching car with vigilance as she took out her weapon.
Freya quickly rolled down the car window and shouted, “Brisa, it’s me!”
When Brisa saw Freya, her pace quickened, and her voice was full of grievances.
“I got lost in the mountains for a long time! I’m going to make it back alive!”
Everyone was relieved.
Inken and Freya got out of the car one after another and walked over to her.
“Why did you suddenly go into the mountains?” Freya asked helplessly, supporting Brisa.
Brisa already had a somewhat childish and tender appearance, so her look of grievance made her even more cute and pitiful.
“It’s all for you. Do you remember that someone asked me a long time ago to get close to you and enter the Kaufmann family? I found the location of the person who made the request, so I thought of coming to catch them. I thought it could yield some leads. I didn’t expect that I would lose sight of the person and even get lost in the mountains!”
Brisa gritted her teeth and said, “This mountain is really cursed. If I didn’t have the skills to hunt, I would have starved to death by now.”
Freya smiled, tears welling up in her eyes. “It’s alright now. I’ll take you back first.”
Inken was both angry and amused. “You’re really something. Since you found a lead, you should have just. handed it over to me. Why did you come out alone? This time, you managed to come out of this alive, but I hope you learned your lesson. Let’s see if you’ll still run around recklessly next time.”
Freya was still smiling when she suddenly felt something was off.
She frowned. “Wait a minute. How did you find out that the person was in the mountain? There’s no signal on that mountain.”
Brisa blinked, looking puzzled. “I just used simple location tracking. I found a few people, and it was really easy to locate that mountain.”
Freya and Inken exchanged a glance, and their faces instantly tensed up.
“They were fishing!” And Brisa was the bait.
It was just a mountain, and Brisa had been lost for so long. There must have been someone on the other side involved.
The other party deliberately delayed the time, making them more and more worried. The more worried they were, the less prepared they would be!
Freya and Inken both tensed up at the same time, and Freya felt all the hairs on her body stand on end.
Inken said coldly, “This village is indeed too quiet!”
It was normal for lights to be turned off early in the countryside, but usually, there would be a few stray dogs in the village. When outsiders passed by, there would at least be barking.
Freya pulled Brisa away without hesitation and headed toward the nearby RV.
“Get in the car. We have to leave immediately!”
In the next moment, a shell flew across the sky and hit the nearby RV.
The sound of the explosion and the heat wave rushed toward them.
The two cars following closely behind the RV were also blasted off.
Freya’s pupils suddenly contracted as she pulled Brisa back.
Inken’s voice was low. “D*mn it! We fell into a trap!”
It was troublesome to be in a place far from Caltun.
Freya tightly held Brisa’s hand, and Brisa stiffened. At this moment, she understood the meaning of Freya’s fishing metaphor.
“These people used me to lure you out, right?” She gritted her teeth and pulled out a gun from the strap on her boots. “Frey, you and Inken should leave first!”
“Let’s go together.” Freya’s voice was low and firm.
Brisa was anxious. “Inken, you take Freya and leave first. She’s the target of the other party! You two are in management and in charge of hacking, respectively. How can you compare to me, who is at the front lines. every day? Hurry up, or you’ll just slow me down!”
A hint of anger appeared on Brisa’s small face.
The ground was already trembling.
Freya pursed her lips. “Since the other party has set up this trap, they must have been fully prepared. We won’t be able to escape unless we deal with them!”
“Miss Kaufmann, who do you want to deal with?” A fierce voice sounded.
Freya turned her head abruptly and looked at the darkness ahead.
A modified car appeared in her line of sight, followed by the surrounding dark village houses lighting up.
Then, more cars appeared from behind.
Freya looked at those cars, and for a moment, her mind went blank.
These were all construction vehicles like cranes and excavators, and they were completely different in scale compared to the type of cars they came in.
Moreover, looking at the tracks of the excavator, it was clearly modified. It still looked like an excavator, but it was powerful enough to crush this area.
Freya pursed her lips and looked at the person in the front.
That person was wearing a silver mask, but she knew who was behind the mask.
Although the voice that had just sounded had a different tone, it was still recognizable.
Freya clenched her teeth and asked, “Why are you here?”
Strategist had a smile on his face as he interrupted Freya, saying. “Miss Kaufmann, please stop. If you mention my name, none of you will be able to leave.”
Freya fell silent.
Brisa and Inken turned to look at Freya.
Freya’s eyes were dark. No wonder before Eugene died, he had written down a word.
At that time, he was weak and probably couldn’t write his full name, so he just wanted to write a short word to warn her.
If Eugene had more time to write, she would definitely have been able to guess. However, at that time, she thought Eugene was writing another name.
Later, she thought about all the people she knew who had the surname ‘King.’ She even had Inken focus on investigating people who were nicknamed ‘King’ in Caltun.
It turned out that ‘King’ was just another way to describe Strategist.
Freya stared intently at the person in the car.
Although Strategist was wearing a silver mask, she could still hear the faint smile in his voice as he said, “Miss Kaufmann, let’s make a deal.”
“Do I even have a choice?” Freya sneered.
