"Why?" Jayson asked.
The guard replied, "I'm afraid I have to tell you that things over there are in complete chaos right now, with organized acts of terror. On top of that, it's a war zone."
Jayson's eyes narrowed instantly, his brow furrowing. "Is it very bad?"
"Yes, Mr. Larkin. It's dangerous. I strongly advise against moving forward."
The guard checked their position. "We're less than two miles away, and the area is being sealed off."
At that moment, Jayson heard distant explosions that rattled his eardrums.
Sealed off?
That meant they could be trapped.
His chest tightened and his expression darkened. "Hold on."
He tried calling Ariel again, but there was still no answer.
The unknown was too dangerous for him to take even a small risk.
If Ariel was still there, she would be in serious danger and might even…
Jayson pressed his lips together. Without wasting a second, he started contacting the embassy. He needed someone to intervene and ensure Ariel's safety.
The embassy said it would take time, but Jayson wasn't the type to just wait.
His eyes sharpened, and he quickly dialed the Croinian government.
Operating alone here limited him somewhat, but Ariel's status was highly important to the Croinian government. His priority was to alert them immediately, so they could work with the local authorities. That was the most reliable way to handle this.
After the call, he stared ahead.
With the unrest in front of him, the signal was likely cut off. He probably wouldn't be able to reach Ariel anytime soon.
He checked his watch. In a cold, deep voice, he said resolutely, "Everyone, I'm offering the highest fee. Send in as many people as you need to find my wife and ensure her safety."
There was no other choice. Sitting idle wouldn't help. After all, bullets wouldn't wait.
