Jayson had managed to reach Janice once. From bits and pieces, he learned that Ariel wasn't with her. Worse, no one from Ariel's convoy had made contact since the chaos began.
That was a terrible sign that made Jayson uneasy.
Ahead, flames tore through the horizon. His hired security team had already split up to search.
Ariel had that distinct Solarean look, and with her beauty, she would definitely stand out in a crowd.
Jayson's expression was grim. This area was supposed to be a designated safe zone, yet it had turned into a battlefield. No one could have predicted it.
The ground was covered in gravel. He kept checking his phone as he walked.
There were plenty of places in the world suffering from turmoil, but he had no mind for any of it right now. All he wanted was to find Ariel, fast.
Her health was fragile. She couldn't stand too much strain. He couldn't bear the thought of her suffering, not even a little.
Just then, a sudden shot came from behind, aimed straight at Jayson.
The bodyguard beside him reacted instantly, pulling him out of the way just in time.
Frowning, Jayson ducked into the shadows and looked into the distance.
There, he saw several heavily armored vehicles escorting one in the middle. It was obvious that the convoy was heading straight for him with clear intent.
"Mr. Larkin, they seem to be looking for someone," the bodyguard said seriously. "I heard they're looking for a Solarean."
Jayson's eyes narrowed sharply.
"Can you tell who they are?" he asked.
The bodyguard, used to operating in gray zones, crouched behind a crumbling wall and peered out. "That symbol… The Nielsen family?"
The moment Jayson heard the name, his expression darkened.
Of course he knew the Nielsen family.
Back then, he had dug into Nancy's family for generations, leaving no secret uncovered. He knew every detail about the people she had met before.
He also knew that Nancy and Sarah used to have some connection with the Nielsen family from Isbell. Nancy had even had a brief involvement with their second son.
And now, they suddenly showed up here…
Jayson's gaze turned icy.
