Chapter 1774: Cheeseburgers
According to Zoren, the syndicate’s hive was located on a small island accessible only by boat or chopper. He had left a note for Mint to consider that location—it had always been their next destination once Atlas secured the code, even with the risk of not having it yet.
Mint had considered it too, especially given the direction of the aircraft carrying Penny.
But currently, they had made a detour. And if Angel was right, Penny would soon land on the same island they were headed toward.
Zoren and Atlas furrowed their brows until it hit them.
"The code," Atlas whispered, meeting Zoren’s eyes. "They’re going to claim it right away."
Zoren nodded, then turned to Angel. "Tell our pilot to hurry. We need to be there to secure their landing. Or better yet, we land on the next island before them."
"But Miss Penny—"
"She’ll figure it out," Zoren cut him off quietly. "Your boss still has control over their craft. If she keeps it until the end, she’ll land on the island we’re headed to."
Angel studied Zoren’s face before nodding in understanding. That was Zoren’s wife—he would know her best.

"We’re going to descend soon. I’ll call again in a bit, but for now, keep tracking us. I’ll explain everything later. Also, I need Mint for something. I’ll see you all late—"
Clack.
