A girl's face suddenly occurred to Lucas.
Without saying a word, he blocked that guy, and then he arrogantly left a word.
"Scram!"
After doing that, Lucas lay down and decided to take a rest.
He hadn't had a sound sleep since he came back. Lucas could tell from Samuel's look that the whole
thing wouldn't end easily. He'd better recharge his battery now.
When Samuel noticed that his son was not here, he gently shook his head and lifted the corner of the
mouth slightly.
He blocked all the surrounding signals before dialing the number Tim sent to him.
"Tim gave me this number. He told me to call you if I need help."
Samuel said with a voice changer.
He wouldn't reveal himself so quickly unless he knew the person on the other side of the phone was on
his side.
It was a girl who picked up the phone. Hearing Samuel's words, she hurriedly said, "I know what you
want to ask. Everything here is as normal as usual except that the principal is out for a business trip
now. However, there seems to be someone at the principal's office. No one is allowed to come in."
"Alright, thank you. I hope that you could forget what happens today."
As soon as Samuel hung up, he searched for the location of the principal's office online and sent it to
Ernesto.
"Go and see whether there is something weird about this office."
"Yes, sir."
Ernesto put what he was doing aside and quickly set off.
Not long after, Samuel received a message from Ernesto saying that there was nothing at the
principal's office. Ernesto tried to get something by collecting fingerprints, but there were no one else's
fingerprints found except for the principal's.
That confused Samuel.
Either his men lied to him, or the other party was so cautious that they ran away.
Anyway, this clue could not be followed up. Samuel didn't know where Laurence was now, so he could
only follow the tracker.
Samuel checked the location of Laurence which was marked by a red dot. Samuel could tell that
Laurence crossed the border of Country F, but he stopped somewhere.
He quickly zoomed in to have a closer look and found that Laurence was Prince Jayden's Palace.
'So Dr. Miller and the person who backs him up has something to do with Jayden?'
Samuel couldn't figure that out, so he sent a message to Davon and Phoenix.
That night, Prince Jayden's Palace caught fire. The fire raged, fueling the existing conflict between Leo
and Jayden.
Jayden thought that Leo was the culprit of the fire. As soon as the fire was put out, Jayden began to
strike back with his cabinet. At the same time, Davon and Phoenix sneaked into the ruins of Prince
Jayden's Palace.
Davon looked at Phoenix who insisted on following him and signed, "Didn't I tell you to wait outside?"
"Why should I listen to you? Little Davon, don't you think you've given me too many orders recently?"
Phoenix rolled her eyes mischievously. She looked extremely cute that way.
Davon patted her head and said in a low voice, "Don't rush ahead later. If there is any danger, you have
to tell me first and then take action. Do you understand?"
"I see. I see. You're really long-winded now."
After saying that, Phoenix was about to rush inside, but Davon grabbed her on the collar and dragged
her back like a chicken.
"This way. You have such a bad sense of direction. How dare you rush ahead?"
Davon said with a smile, but his mock enraged Phoenix.
"You stupid man, don't be too smug. Wait and see how I will deal with you."
Phoenix put on an aggressive expression, but before she could finish speaking, Davon put his hand
over her mouth and found a place to hide them.
A tramping of feet came. Phoenix looked serious now and stood behind Davon, vigilant. She tried to
poke out her head a few times to see what was going on outside, but Davon pulled her back every
time, so she could see nothing.
'That damn stupid man.'
'I would never come out with him again.'
Phoenix muttered to herself.
The sound of footsteps came louder. Davon frowned.
They were all wearing white coats. Obviously, they worked at this research lab, but it was still not clear
who was in charge of the lab.
'Could it be that Leo's Military Research Institute had been relocated here by Jayden?'
Davon was not sure.
Phoenix peered through Davon's arms and saw those people walking in another direction. She couldn't
help but whisper, "I seem to know that guy."
"Which one?"
"The leading one. He seems to work at Military Research Institute."
Phoenix's words confirmed Davon's suspicion.
Sure enough, Leo's men were under Jayden's control.
In other words, Jayden knew many of Leo's secrets, so he gained the upper hand in the battle now.
"Davon, what do you think is going on? Is it really like what Boss Ye said that Laurence was brought
here?"
"I'm not sure. Let's come in and take a look. This place is almost burned to the ground, but there are
still people from the research institute working here. The research base must be around, but perhaps
it's underground."
Davon whispered.
Phoenix's brain was racing now.
Underground?
If it was an underground base, she seemed to know there was another passage leading to that.
"Follow me."
She patted Davon on the shoulder.
"Why?"
Davon asked as he saw Phoenix walking out.
"Just follow me. This is my territory, so I definitely know better than you."
Davon chuckled at Phoenix's look of triumphant.
"Alright. Your territory."
Now Davon was too indulgent to Phoenix, which made her feel like it was unreal.
'Come on. Where's the old Davon?'
Phoenix hurriedly threw away the wild thoughts in her mind and left Prince Jayden's Palace with
Davon.
The streets outside were filled with armed soldiers. This situation had lasted for a very long time,
seriously affecting the normal lives of the civilians.
Phoenix whispered, "When will this end? Actually people are the victim of the civil war. It doesn't really
matter to them who is in power. What is the most important to them is that they can live and work in
peace and contentment. Although Country F is only a small country, the vast majority of people
advocate peace and democracy."
Davon also knew what a severe impact the civil war delivered to the people, but see what's going on
now, the war would end soon.
"It would be over soon."
"What do you mean?"
Phoenix was a little surprised.
Since they were unable to get the intel or know something confidential about the war, Phoenix was
somewhat shocked by what Davon said.
Davon said in a low voice, "If the person who plotted to catch Laurence has something to do with
Jayden, it could tell that Jayden got a strong partner. Leo was evenly matched with Jayden, but now he
is down. If I am right, their battle would come to an end these days."
Phoenix got even more puzzled.
"Wasn't it Jayden who captured Laurence?"
"If Jayden was the one who captured Laurence, he wouldn't have hidden away these past few years.
Furthermore, if it was him, he would have killed Leo when Major died. Obviously, Jayden got in touch
with that mastermind only a few days ago."
Hearing Davon's words, Phoenix felt very uncomfortable.
"Who on earth is the mastermind?"
"I'll figure it out. You take me out now because you have a way to go to the underground research
institute?"
"Yes. You've been there before."
Davon was slightly stunned by Phoenix's words, but he immediately understood what she meant.
"You mean the Military Research Institute that Leo set up? It can lead to Jayden's home?"
"It's just my guess, so I need to confirm it. Although Country F is a small country, the underground
bomb shelters are all connected. Back then, it was designed to prevent outsiders from intruding into our
homes. Therefore, every home had an underground bomb shelter. Since it's an underground research
lab, there is no need to enter on the ground."
Phoenix had studied Country F thoroughly these past few years, so now she was of great help.
Davon looked at his wife and smiled, "What do you think Leo would feel if he knew you did so?"
"He definitely hates me to death. He never reflected on what he did wrong. Besides, he doesn't see me
as his daughter."
A trace of hatred flashed through Phoenix's eyes.
She really didn't have any feelings for Leo at all. Sometimes, she would think she was too heartless
and hard to her father, but what he did really left a terrible impression on her.
Davon looked at Phoenix as if he had something to say, but after a long time, he did not open his
mouth.
"Let's go find Laurence first."
"Alright."
They went straight to the Military Research Institute.
The institute was locked. It seemed like Leo had already blocked the door to this place because of the
civil war with Jayden. However, for Phoenix, it was still possible to come in.
She took out a key from her pocket, opened the door, and walked in.
Davon whispered, "You have the key to the Military Research Institute? Is there anywhere else you
can't come in in this country?"
"Yes. I can't enter the men's room."
After Davon Heard what Phoenix said, his face sank.
"You want to go to the men's room? Ms. Freeman, what do you mean? You are fed up with me, right?
Are those men better-looking than me?"
Seeing how shameless Davon was, Phoenix twitched the corner of the mouth and decided to ignore
him.
After they entered the Military Research Institute, Davon found something was wrong.
Logically speaking, since this place had been closed, everything here should have been put away.
However, what Davon saw now was a laboratory still running and he could tell that every specimen
here had been flipped over. Davon suddenly understood what Phoenix had said.
It turned out that the underground bomb shelters were really connected.
After walking for a long time, Phoenix took Davon to a place that looked like a utility room. She
whispered, "That's the place leading to the underground bomb shelters. I have never been to these
shelters, so I really don't know how things will go on underground. Davon, shall we ask more people to
come with us?"
"No need, but I'll send a message first."
Davon seemed to have a mixed feeling. He went aside and sent a message to Kim.
Phoenix did not ask him. She always felt that Davon was dealing with something big, which seemed to
have something to do with her.
Since Davon did not tell her, she wouldn't ask him about that out of her trust.
Davon already sent the message. Just as he was about to go down the bomb shelter with Phoenix, a
tramping of feet suddenly came from below. They were so scared that they hurriedly hid.
