Chapter 505: Trapped
The cold wind howled, biting against the skin like needles, and the chill seeped through every pore of Eric’s body, making his robust frame shiver involuntarily.
John, clad in a black coat, noticed the flicker of pain on Eric’s face and sighed silently.
If Ella and Elias truly met with misfortune this time, Eric might never recover for the rest of his life.
A man who feels too deeply gains no advantages. Take Lucas, for example.
Even at the pinnacle of his career, what did it amount to? Success without anyone to share it with, joy that resonated with no one—this loneliness of life is understood only by those who endure it.
It was a kind of pain that cut straight to the bone.
If Eric really lost both his beloved son and wife, he wouldn’t take his own life, but like so many others, he would live out his days in desolation, alone until his last breath.
"If we could hack into the satellite monitoring system, that would make things much easier. I know the owner of Iceberg Island—he’s a man in his seventies, far too old to be involved in this sort of thing. This place is clearly just a transit point to the destination. They took Ella from here with extreme caution. By doing so, they ensured no one could track where their aircraft went." Eric’s voice grew calmer, though the deep pain in his heart spread relentlessly. But since Ella had told him to wait for her return, he knew he had to pull himself together.
John exchanged glances with the others, then immediately called Mira, a renowned hacker who had rushed in from Country W. She was a woman with gorgeous golden hair, personally mentored by Lucas.
Unlike Eric’s own team of hackers, each with their own specialties, Mira excelled at infiltrating government databases in Country W, while Che was a master of Country S’s cybersecurity systems and websites.
"Mira, can you hack into Country W’s satellite monitoring system? We need to trace Mrs. Nelson. We suspect she boarded the opposing party’s helicopter on Iceberg Island."
