"Humans can be even more terrifying than beasts when they lose their sanity." Nathan sighed.


    Sensing Nathan''s gloominess and recalling how Lucas had betrayed him, Cole stepped forward and


    pledged, "General Morrison, I''ll never betray you for money like that scoundrel, Lucas. You can trust me


    completely. I''m fully devoted to you, without any doubt.”


    Nathan felt a twinge of gratitude as he responded, "I trust you." “Thank you, General Morrison," Cole


    responded solemnly.


    As the night deepened, the lights in the military base office continued to glow, burning through the


    darkness.


    When M woke up the next day, her eyes were red and swollen from crying. She had a rough night''s


    sleep, and her face was still puffy. After freshening up, she put on a simple dress, slung a ck


    shoulder bag over her shoulder, tied her hair into a ponytail, and went downstairs. Phoebe and Simon


    were having breakfast. Phoebe got up, but before she could say anything, M spoke first, “I need to


    go to the Morrison residence. Phoebe,e with me."


    Phoebe looked confused while Simon nervously stood up and said, "Wanda, we''re flying back this


    afternoon. Why do you need to go anywhere else?"


    M stopped in her tracks and spoke sincerely, “I''m nning to convince Dan to join us to Suntend


    for treatment.”


    "Why?" Phoebe asked.


    "The traditional medicine there has proven to cure many illnesses that can''t be treated here. I''ve been


    doing a lot of research onlely, and I''ve found cases where acupuncture and physiotherapy have


    helped terminally ill people recover," M exined.


    Phoebe was impressed. "That sounds promising. I''lle along to help persuade him."


    “I''ll join you guys as well," Simon added.


    The three of them walked out of Hoffis Manor together. After Phoebe went to get the car, Simon


    nced at M a few times and said, "We must leave on time even if we can''t convince him. We can''t


    miss the flight.”


    "We won''t. If he disagrees, I''ll quietly knock him out with Sienna and take him back to Suntend for


    treatment.”


    Simon chuckled. He knew that someone knocked out and unconscious wouldn''t pass airport security.


    When Phoebe''s car arrived, they got in and drove off. Leaving Hoffis Manor behind, they sped off down


    the road.


    Shortly after, Phoebe grew tense as she checked the rearview mirrors and said, "M, take a look


    behind us. Two cars are tailing us.”


    M and Simon immediately nced around with concern.


    "Who could they be?" Simon asked.


    M breathed a sigh of relief after recognizing them. She calmly exined, "They''re from the military


    base."

    Phoebe suddenly recalled yesterday''s phone call and said, "M, General Morrison called me


    yesterday."


    "Nathan?" M leaned forward, her voice tinged with concern as she continued, "Why did he call you?


    Is something wrong?"


    "He warned us to stay alert. Oliver and Lucas risked their lives sneaking into Norvania yesterday, so


    they must be nning something.”


    Those names sent a shiver down M''s spine and filled her with a sense of foreboding.
