When Samuel went out, Nicole just glanced at him and did not follow. She stayed there with Amelia.
After all, Amelia was pregnant and her mood was unstable now.
Nicole knew that Samuel would definitely help Jarrod. Although it was dangerous, he had to face Aaron
sooner or later.
Samuel went straight to Emory's place.
"How's the signal here?"
The formation might have blocked the signal and he couldn't contact others.
Emory asked in a low voice, "You want to communicate with the outside world?"
"Yes. I need to do something. I want to get Jarrod out of there."
Samuel did not conceal it from Emory, who would know about it anyway.
Emory lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then he said, "I think it would be better for him to
stay with Aaron. He can give us some information."
"It's cruel to let a son go against his father. Besides, Jarrod is not our soldier. We don't know whether
he has the same faith as us. I am just his half-brother. Do you think he will break up with his father for
me? I know we have Amelia. But will Jarrod do as we say for her sake? He hates to be controlled by
others. Emory, we should get him out of there. If we force Jarrod, he may change his mind and to
cooperate with Aaron. And we may lose. "
Emory frowned.
He didn't say anything and seemed to be thinking.
Samuel also knew that it was inappropriate to let Emory consider his personal relationship with Jarrod
at this moment. Emory was the commander so he had to consider the overall situation for everyone.
This was where Samuel couldn't compare to Emory.
Emory had obtained his position because he was as loyal and upright as his father and grandfather. He
had strong faith and determination. He would not fail his mission due to personal stuff. And he placed
righteousness above family. But Samuel could not do it.
Samuel knew that he would not be able to remain calm if Aaron caught Nicole. He had faith too. But he
would not give up on Nicole if he had to choose.
This was why Emory was now a lieutenant general while Samuel was just a major general.
Samuel did not urge Emory to decide. He just waited quietly.
Emory's eyebrows were still knitted as time passed.
When Samuel took out the third cigarette, Emory finally opened his mouth.
"If you insist on doing this, I can give you ten people. Samuel, I didn't have many soldiers this time. But
they are the best. I don't want them to get hurt. You know, good steel should be used to make quality
guns. But Jarrod is not that important to us."
"I understand. I don't need them. Just get the signal back or give me a phone that can contact the
outside world."
Emory was surprised.
"You are going to save him by yourself?"
"No. I have my own people."
Samuel smiled with confidence.
Emory felt uneasy. He nodded and said, "Alright."
After saying that, he gave Samuel a mobile phone.
"You can communicate with people outside with it. But you have to stand in that direction when you
make a call. The formation eye there is weak so you can receive the signal."
"Thank you."
Samuel took the mobile phone and went to the formation eye. He called Morgan.
Morgan didn't expect to receive his call, but she quickly answered.
"Mr. Samuel, I am close to the Harper Town now. Joseph has called me."
"OK. I want you to do something. Let Aaron think that you have come back because you got some
news. Make sure that you divert him."
Samuel said in a flat tone.
Morgan frowned slightly.
"Mr. Samuel, am I doing this this alone? Do I have backup?"
"No. Find yourself backup if you need. Morgan, I know you can do it."
Samuel hung up the phone after he said that.
Morgan was shocked as she listened to the warning tone after the call ended.
It was rather dangerous to face Aaron on her own.
Aaron was determined to obtain the power of the Harper Town. Morgan did not know what he wanted
exactly, but she had also found some clues over the years. And she guessed that Aaron was involved
in the destruction of the Harper Town.
After hearing what Samuel said, Morgan became more certain of this guess.
She sighed and picked up the phone to call Sally.
"Ms. Sally, I want to see you. I need your help."
Sally was very surprised that Morgan called.
"Is this a trap?"
"There are no traps. I just want to make a deal with you. I know where William is."
Sally was excited.
"Really? Are you lying to me?"
"I'm serious. I will tell you where William is, but you should give me some people. I know that you didn't
lend me the real force of the organization. You're using them to look for William, right? They are men of
sacrifice. They are the most courageous and can give up their lives for you. You have spent a lot of
money to train them over the years. I have followed you for so long, but I still don't know how to find
them. Now I need this force. I will take you to see William if you lend it to me. "
Sally kept silent.
She had lived in Country F for a long time. Those men of sacrifice were her last backup force. She was
surprised that Morgan knew about it. Morgan did not know where they were, but Sally still panicked.
"I want to see him first."
"No. I don't have time for that. Mr. Samuel has given me an urgent task. I have to do it first. I can't take
you to see William before it's done. You may find William with my help so you must do me this favor. If I
die, you will never be able to find him."
Sally frowned.
"Are you threatening me? How do I know whether you're telling the truth?"
"You have no choice."
Morgan was counting on Sally's feelings for William. She bet that Sally would agree.
Morgan's forehead was dripping with cold sweat as she waited.
Finally, Sally agreed.
"Alright, I can lend you the force. But Morgan, if you don't take me to see him after you finish your task,
I will kill you."
Sally's voice was cold and stern.
Morgan curled her lips into a bitter smile.
They used to be good partners and could risk their lives for each other. But now Sally might kill her for
William.
Obviously, Sally was deep in love with him.
Morgan worried that Sally might not be able to stay calm when she saw William.
"Alright."
Morgan hung up the phone and closed her eyes.
Actually, she just wanted to be an ordinary doctor. However, she was a member of the Harper Town.
She had no choice.
Morgan quickly took action.
Aaron was excited when he heard that a descendant of the Harper Town had returned with an ancient
book.
"Isn't the ancient book in Samuel's hands?"
"Mr. Aaron, it is said that Samuel could not read it so he gave it to his son, Joseph. Joseph is Morgan's
disciple. He may have given it to her. Morgan is a descendant of Harper Town so she should be able to
understand the book. Perhaps there is a record on ore veins."
The subordinate's words aroused Aaron's interest.
"I have been searching for the entrance to the mine but haven't found it. I just know that it's in the
mountain behind the Harper Town. The exploration has been in secret for so many years, but a
mysterious power was interfering. If I can get that ancient book, I may be able to find the entrance. And
the entire mountain will be my possession by then! Ask Mr. Jarrod to come here."
As Aaron's ordered, someone went to the ancestral hall.
However, when they arrived there, they saw Jarrod lying on the ground. His face was pale and he didn't
seem to be breathing.
"Hurry up! Tell Mr. Aaron that Mr. Jarrod.... Mr. Jarrod is...."
The subordinate didn't dare to say it. He was so scared that he kept trembling.
Aaron immediately went to the ancestral hall as soon as he received the news. He saw Jarrod lying
there and barely breathing.
"What happened?"
Aaron was enraged.
"Call the doctor! Be quick!"
The doctor was quickly brought there. He examined Jarrod for a while. Then he suddenly sat on the
ground in panic and said in a trembling voice, "Mr. Jarrod.... Mr. Jarrod may not be able to get through
this."
"What do you mean?"
Aaron grabbed the doctor's collar. He pulled out a pistol from the waist of his trousers and point at the
doctor's head.
"Save him. If he dies, I'll bury your family with him!"
"Mr. Aaron, I will save him if I can. But there's nothing I can do! Mr. Jarrod is poisoned with a bug. The
poisonous bug has entered his heart meridians. He has...."
The doctor knew a bit about bugs. He was shocked by Jarrod's condition and broke out into a cold
sweat.
But Aaron couldn't accept it.
"How is that possible? He is Zama's son! He has been surrounded by bugs since childhood. How could
he be devoured by them? Save him! Try Western medicine! Try any method you know!"
The doctor cried.
"Mr. Aaron, there's really nothing I can do. We are losing him. It seems that he has eaten the Golden
Bug."
"What? He ate the Golden Bug?"
Aaron's eyes suddenly widened.
"Jarrod! Do you know how precious the Golden Bug is? Why did you eat it? There are only three
Golden Bugs in this world, and I've just got one. Alice has left it to me. It will be of great use to me. How
could you eat it?"
Aaron kicked Jarrod. But he still felt angry so Aaron kicked him harder for several times.
"Bastard! Look what you have done! I should have strangled you!"
Aaron looked at Jarrod fiercely, who was dying, and said coldly, "The doctor can't save him. Just leave
him here. Throw him into the vat of bugs after he dies. He will be guarding his mother here."
After saying that, Aaron walked out of the ancestral hall and had someone lock it from the
outside.
