His subordinates sighed inwardly, but they were afraid of being punished by their boss, so they kept their grievances to themselves.
Leaning against a tree, Nathaniel smoked in silence.
If she really landed here, it was impossible that they hadnât found any trace of her even after days of searching.
One of the men came over and asked awkwardly, âSir, is it possible that the information was wrong? Maybe Miss Ross landed somewhere elseâ¦

Maybe it was so dark that night that Flynn pinpointed the wrong locationâ¦
What if she fell into a river? The signal here in the mountain range is too weak, and we canât dispatch more people here.

Before he could finish his words, Nathaniel silenced him with one look.
âSheâs alive.

âWhat? Sir?â
The man was stunned.
How could someone survive falling from a moving plane?
Pursing his lips tightly, Nathaniel refused to explain.
The information Jaxen gave him couldnât be wrong, and Flynn wouldnât lie.

âWeâre going back to Forden!â
âYes, sir!â
His men immediately sprang into action and quickly packed up their personal belongings, eager to fly back to Forden.

The man standing in front of Nathaniel and wearing a plaid shirt and glasses asked, âSir, weâre lost and starving.
Weâve been stuck here for days without any idea how to get out of this place.
And to top it off, we lost our Luggage.
Do you know the way out of the mountain?â
Nathaniel didnât say a word.
He just stared into the manâs eyes.
Nobody could read what was going on in his mind.
The man peered past Nathaniel, glancing at the others standing behind him, and continued, âSir, it looks like youâre also heading out of here.
Why donât we team up? Weâll have each otherâs backs.
