Take Me Away novel Chapter 118

T Country's border was just fifty kilometers from P City, but due to the uneven roads and difficult terrain of the region, it took longer than an hour to reach T Country. Moreover, X was situated in the middle of T Country and M Country. Even though its exact location was unknown, the criminal organization posed a high threat.

Spencer and his men had been camping there for the past two days. While they had gotten quite familiar with the area, they still had to plan every step they took.

The moon was high in the sky when their comrades from P City went to sleep. At that time, a man stealthily walked towards the dormitory building, taking advantage of the shadows and bushes to conceal his identity.

"Ahem!"

Just as the man approached the entrance of the dormitory, he heard a cough from behind. He froze as someone approached him from behind with calm footsteps.

"When did you start sleepwalking?"

George asked. Spencer turned around and saw George leisurely walking towards him with his hands in his pockets. Their faces were lit by the soft moonlight.

Although he was dressed casually, Spencer kept his body stiff, like an army general's. He snorted and said, "Just pretend you didn't see me. By the way, why haven't you gone to bed yet?"

"I've been waiting for you." George walked up to him and eyed him cautiously. "Where were you?"

Spencer looked at him with a serious expression. "I was taking a walk."

"Do you think you can just walk to T Country?" George stepped forward and hissed under his teeth. "Don't treat me like I'm clueless. I've been watching you for the past two days. You sneak out after breakfast and return late at night. Have you already visited T Country secretly? Are you trying to find Fiona by yourself? It's a huge place. Where will you even begin searching for her?"

Spencer had heard enough from George. "It's none of your business," he said with gritted teeth.

"It's not just about you anymore. We're all in this together, so it's our business too!" George frowned. "Since we joined forces with you to fight X, you can't just sneak off alone and keep us in the dark. You'd better wait for us to come up with a plan."

"Wait, wait, wait. Don't ever say that word again! I'm sick of it!" Spencer roared furiously. "What makes you think I can wait any longer? I know Fiona is somewhere in T Country, but I can't save her even though I'm only a few miles away. You can't expect me to sit here and wait till she's dead! I can't do that!" "Do you have any idea how dangerous it is for you to go there alone?"

George couldn't help but shout. "The relationship between the two countries is already tense. If they come to know that you sneaked across the border, they will simply arrest you. Even if you escape the arrest, you will never be allowed to enter their country again. Is that so hard to understand?"

"I know," Spencer said in a low and gloomy voice. "I know it's a huge risk, but I just can't control myself. I can't wait any longer. I have a strong feeling that Fiona is in great danger. So to me, it doesn't matter. It's a chance I'm willing to take if it means that I might get to see her face again. I don't care about anything else.

But trust me on one thing.

I won't be foolish enough to let myself get into trouble before I save her." A determined expression appeared on Spencer's face.

George pursed his lips and sighed. "I know. So what should I do?"

Spencer gave him a smug smile. "Just pretend you never saw me. If anyone asks, you were sleeping and didn't see a thing."

George laughed helplessly in response. "Yeah, I was sleeping tonight. I didn't see anyone sneak out."

They looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Then, remembering something all of a sudden, Spencer asked, "Did you find anything about Charles?"

George shook his head. "I have looked through all of his records. He is clean, both in his personal and professional life. He does own a casino in T Country, but it's not illegal. As for the rest, I don't have anything worth sharing at the moment."

Spencer nodded and then gave Terence a call. It turned out that Terence had also found nothing out of the ordinary about Charles. However, the cleaner Charles' record seemed to be, the more suspicious Spencer became.

"Thank you for your efforts. I'm leaving now." Spencer turned and began walking away.

"Are you going to try and go there all alone tomorrow?" George asked, staring at his back.

"I think you already know my answer," Spencer replied, continuing to walk forward.

"You'd better be careful then!" George shouted after him.

With a smile, Spencer raised his hand and waved without looking back.

After Spencer disappeared out of sight, George turned and walked to his room. 'Fiona, nothing can harm you while Spencer is alive. I believe in him,' he thought to himself.

The next morning at Cherry Grove Residence, a servant entered the room to invite Fiona to breakfast.

A mixture of excitement and nervousness filled Fiona's mind as she got ready and followed the servant downstairs.

"You came down quickly," said Charles, who was sitting at the large and elegant dining table. Fiona looked stunning even without any makeup on. Unlike other women, she was a true beauty.

"Come and have breakfast." Charles waved and pointed to the chair next to him.

Fiona hesitated for just a second before she walked over to the chair.

As Charles watched her sit down, he beamed with satisfaction. Then he said in a soft voice, "See if you like the food. If not, the servants can make different dishes for you the way you like them. These are dishes made especially for you as per the cuisine of M City."

At the mention of M City, a trace of sadness and longing filled Fiona's heart. She looked down, tightening her grip on her chopsticks. "Is there any way I can go back to M City?"

"Not now. But maybe later," Charles said casually and started eating his food without looking at her. "Eat."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned cold. Fiona gulped in fright and hurriedly ate her breakfast without a word.

After they finished eating, the two of them went outside and got into a luxury car. As the car slowly approached the main gate of Cherry Grove Residence, Fiona couldn't help but wonder if she could just jump out of the car as soon as it left the mansion and run away.

However, she must have looked a little too excited with her hands on the door handle, because Charles looked at the driver and said, "Lock the doors."

"Yes, sir."

Fiona sat upright, feeling a little surprised. Although she knew that Charles had seen through her, she tried to keep calm. "Are you worried that I might run away?"

"Run away?" Charles chuckled. "I don't think you would dare to try."
