“I suggest we land on the freighter first,” he said. He radioed Otis and discussed the plan together with Shawn and Reynolds.
“We must first ensure the safety of the elders, and then we will wait for the opportunity to board the ship.”
“It has to be like this,” Otis agreed but didn’t forget to complain,
“Arthur, you really shouldn’t let them come together. Spencer’s men are fully armed. In case they launch a counterattack, we are very passive.”
“Otis… can you stop them?” Arthur asked helplessly.
Otis just fell silent over there.
Shawn and Reynolds both thought it was funny, and on the rare occasion when Otis was deflated.
“Don’t worry. I’ve sent people to protect their safety. Besides, it’s not easy for Spencer to board the cargo ship.” As long as the elders and Helena didn’t act impulsively, Arthur will have no worries.
“Helena’s character… Arthur, ask the bodyguards to keep a close eye on her.” Otis immediately told Arthur.
Arthur took a look at Shawn and Reynolds, and everyone tacitly agreed.
“Don’t worry. She won’t act impulsively.”
“Okay, then we’ll wait for you at the cargo ship.” After Otis responded, the two sides cut off contact, and Arthur was just about to continue discussing with Shawn and Reynolds, when he contacted them with the helicopter at the end.
“Mr. Davies, we found an anomaly behind us.”
“What?” Arthur asked immediately.
“There seems to be a flying object approaching in the distance.”
Arthur frowned upon hearing this, and immediately ordered,
“Speed up and get rid of them.”
“Yes!” Several pilots accepted the order at the same time.
At this time Reynolds asked Arthur, “Arthur, do you know who is following behind?”
“It’s probably from Nia.” Arthur glanced at Reynolds. Seeing his calm expression, he then continued,
“Today she came to me and wanted to participate in the operation together. The purpose is to rescue Casper, but she has a deep hatred with Spencer, and she doesn’t know the situation when she has a deep hatred with Spencer. It will definitely interfere with our operation, so I refused.”
Lucia, baby and Esmae were in danger. Arthur wouldn’t let Nia interfere with him for the slightest chance.
“She has the ability to follow up immediately.” Reynolds said lightly. In fact, he also saw her when he set off today.
“It’s not that she is capable. Casper’s father, Miles has some strength in Lepus. It is estimated that he is secretly helping.” Arthur said bluntly.
Reynolds didn’t continue to answer, but turned his head to look out the window. Arthur thought he was a little embarrassed, but he turned around and said after a while,
“Maybe I’m really the reason for Nia who turns like this…”
Shawn was a little puzzled. He had been abroad and didn’t know that Reynolds and Nia once had a relationship. Arthur thought for a while and said,
“I don’t think so. Human nature has always been the most untestable thing. Desire and vanity have always been buried in people’s hearts. Whether you show up or not, these things in her heart will be aroused one day.”
“But I did show up.” Reynolds’ eyes darkened a bit. If he hadn’t used Nia at the beginning, so many things would not have happened afterwards.
Reynolds now had a deep understanding of the interlocking and causal loops in the world.
“You still have compassion for her?” Arthur asked Reynolds.
“Even if I had at the beginning, it had been worn out now.” Reynolds’ eyes turned cold. “What she did to Lucia is unforgivable.”
Arthur nodded and said to Reynolds seriously,
“Nia has a cooperation with Jacob, and Lucia and I have confirmed that. No matter what, Lucia and I will not let her go.”
Reynolds raised an eyebrow when he heard this. It seemed that he had underestimated Nia.
While speaking, the helicopter had already lifted up and disappeared into the low-level floating clouds. The pilots hired by Arthur had all received the most professional training, so it would not be difficult to get rid of the tracking behind them.
In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly and the sea surface was shining brightly. Even though there was a constant sea breeze blowing, it was still a bit boring to stay in the cabin. Esmae’s mood was worse because of this. She was worried about the condition of Lucia and the baby and was also annoyed at her powerlessness at this time. She had been pampered for a long time. The helplessness of being controlled by others made her very depressed.
Spencer seemed to be really trying to make her suffer, and never let her out of the cabin except for brunch. If she hadn’t talked with Lucia before, Esmae would be impatient.
In the other cabin, Lucia was not affected by Spencer’s tricks at all. She didn’t eat much and had breast milk, so she didn’t have to worry about the baby being hungry. She held the baby and looked at the vast sea outside the porthole. Her state of mind was completely different from Esmae’s, which was calm and full of hope.
The only person who was anxious was Spencer.
His father called a few more times to ask how he was doing. Spencer didn’t want to worry him too much, and every time he said that he would take care of everything. It was easy to say, but the reality was not what he wanted.
“Mr. Davies, I think you’re being too polite to them.” Dan saw Spencer fiddling with the wine glass on the coffee table, and stood beside him and said something.
“What do you mean?” Spencer asked him, frowning.
“When Esmae saw Lucia, she was in very good condition. This will only make Esmae think that you dare not do anything to her. How can she be in a hurry? If you want to force her to make a decision as soon as possible, you have to…” Dan coldly cued Spencer.
“No!” Spencer rejected Dan’s suggestion without thinking, which was completely subconscious.
He had to admit, from the bottom of his heart, he never thought of really hurting Lucia.
“I didn’t say I was going to abuse her…” Dan smiled. Seeing Spencer’s eyes flickering dimly, he leaned down and whispered a few words in his ear, and in the next second, Spencer’s eyes lit up.
“That’s a good idea,” Spencer smiled, but his eyes were full of cruelty. “In this way, they can be forced to make a decision!”
In the evening, the boundless sky was smudged orange red by the setting sun. At this time, Spencer asked Dan to “invite” Esmae to the deck.
After not breathing fresh air for a long time, Esmae felt relieved as soon as she got out of the hatch, but after she saw Spencer, her eyes turned cold again.
“Needless to say,” Esmae ignored Spencer’s gesture to sit down, stood still and said coldly,
“After you figure out how to answer me, we’ll talk about the deal.”
“Ms. Wilson, you’ve been locked up for a whole day and you haven’t figured out the situation yet?” Spencer snorted coldly and sneered at Esmae.
