Chapter 2573
“Gather a team and have five helicopters ready in half an hour.”
He couldn’t afford to wait.
Flying would be the fastest option.
Lonnie opened the 3D map on the computer, switching to a satellite view to examine the mountaintop.
“That’ll do, sir.
There’s a flat spot on that mountain suitable for a helicopter landing.
I’ll arrange everything right away.”
“Okay,” Nathan replied curtly.
Throughout the process, Sonny stood motionless on the side, completely ignored.
Determined to make amends for his earlier emotional outburst, Sonny stepped forward.
“Nathan, I’ll go assemble the team for the mission.”novelbin
Nathan turned to face him, approaching slowly.
His voice was stern and cold.
“You’d better pray Kyson doesn’t run.
If your words alerted him and caused a delay in the mission, you’ll be held professionally and personally accountable.”
Sonny’s face turned pale, his back stiffening.
He understood Nathan’s meaning all too well.
Professionally, he faced disciplinary action from the Bureau.
As the deputy director, he might possibly face suspension or termination.
Personally, he could be subjected to a severe whipping in the Payne family’s ancestral residence.
Nathan’s invocation of the Payne family rules indicated his deep anger.
It was something that had never happened since Sonny became the adopted son of the Payne family.
If Kyson escaped, Sonny would bear the full brunt of the blame.
Swallowing hard, Sonny nodded obediently.
“I’m sorry.
It’s my fault.
I’ll accept any punishment.”
Nathan’s face remained impassive as he looked away, stepping past Sonny and leaving.
Sonny sighed, resigned, and silently followed to prepare the team for the mission.
Over half an hour later, five helicopters were lined up on the rooftop of the National Security Bureau, ready for takeoff.
Armed personnel quickly and orderly boarded the helicopters.
Within five minutes, the rotors roared to life, and the units headed toward the village.
When Kyson was picking vegetables in a field, he heard the sound of helicopters approaching.
The noise was loud, impossible to ignore.
He chuckled, glancing at his watch.
It had only been an hour and twenty minutes from the moment he received Sonny’s call.
Nathan was already here.
Coming to such a remote place so quickly-he was impressed.
A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Kyson remembered the flat grassy area at the mountaintop where the helicopters would Likely land.
They would follow the GPS to find him soon enough.
