Chapter 530: Out at sea, Jade was trying to reach the team stationed at the chemical plant, desperate to confirm whether Brenna had taken the bait and brought the ransom. Minutes ticked by, and that fool Barr was still not picking up her call.

The bodyguard beside Jade frowned, his concern evident. "Could something have gone wrong? Brenna has military connections. The army might have gotten involved." Jade's confidence began to wane. She cast a grave look at the motionless Patrick. "Throw him to the sea. We're leaving now." Panic gnawed at her. If they didn't leave soon, it could be too late. If something had happened to Barr, it meant the military had seen through her scheme. Brenna could arrive at any moment.

Jade had always believed that Brenna wouldn't dare endanger Patrick to hunt them down. But Brenna was anything but predictable. What if she did gamble everything? What if she was willing to sacrifice Patrick to eliminate them? After all, the military didn't operate like the police.

The bodyguard moved, seized Patrick by the collar, and tossed him straight into the sea. As he watched the waves engulf Patrick's small figure, he walked away. Bound as he was, Patrick wouldn't last more than a few minutes in the water.

The luxury yacht accelerated, cutting through the waves as it ventured deeper into international waters.

Moments later, the military team arrived. Five helicopters sliced through the sky, sweeping across the ocean, meticulously scanning every vessel within a hundred-mile radius.

Onboard the helicopter, Brenna and the others kept their eyes fixed on the screen. Red dots flickered across the display, but none of them were moving fast.

"This is peak fishing season," the pilot explained. "Most of those are fishing boats. They'll be out at sea for days, just drifting like that." Everyone wore grave expressions. The weight of their fear hung heavily in the cabin. Each passing second made Patrick's situation more dire. Ellie was the most distressed. She couldn't look away from the screen. She clutched Thiago's hand, her fingers cold and clammy.

Outside, the night pressed in like a wall. The wind howled, and waves crashed below. There was nothing but darkness in every direction. Ellie rested her head on Thiago's shoulder and anxiously asked, “Will Patrick be okay?" Full chapters on glnov☐Thiago gently patted her. "Don't worry. Patrick has been with us since he was little. He's learned a lot of survival skills. He can swim, and he knows better than to provoke dangerous people. He'll be okay." Though his voice was calm, the worry behind it ran deep. Patrick was more capable, more mature, and tougher than most kids his age. Still, he was only six. Out here, with the sea raging like this, even an adult might not survive long.

Ethan glanced at Brenna. She hadn't said much, but her stiff posture and somber expression spoke volumes. Her silence didn't mean she was any less worried.

He reached for her hand and reassured her, “We'll find him. He's going to be fine."

"Suspicious target spotted." A sharp voice crackled through the rafrom another helicopter, followed by a string of coordinates.

a The pilot changed course at once and headed straight for the location. Moments later, a sleek high-end yacht cinto view. It was slicing through the waves, racing toward international waters.
