?Chapter 876:


    Lydia clicked her tongue in mild irritation. So, Wesley didn’t trust her? Still, she kept her cool and didn’t take it out on Felix.


    After receiving a full briefing on the situation at the ind, she left the Spencer Group headquarters without dy. She headed straight for one ce.


    Based on what Felix had reported, Earle had ughtered the inders and taken the children as leverage against Elena. Lydia knew Elena far too well. There was no way Elena would sit back and do nothing. If it came down to it, Elena would march into Avaloria alone.


    Lydia resolved to reach Elena before it was toote. Elena might appear distant on the outside, but when it came to those she cared about, there were no limits to what she would sacrifice. With the children taken because of her, Elena would undoubtedly me herself. Chances were, Elena would put her life on the line to rescue the children. And Elena never ced her trust in organizations or systems. She believed in her own strength above all else. It was no surprise she’d choose to act alone.


    Lydia weaved through the city streets, pushing hard to catch Elena before she crossed the border. She needed to tell Elena that she was leading the mission—and that they would face it together.


    Lydia had no idea how many red lights she’d raced through, but after thirty minutes, she finally reached their underground safehouse.


    It was a bunker-style room buried beneath the city, stocked with weapons and ammunition. If Elena intended to take on Earle directly, this was where she woulde to gear up.


    The moment Lydia stepped inside, she spotted Elena. “Elena! I’m so d I found you!”


    Elena waspletely wrapped in ck. Beside her were newly assembled assault and sniper rifles, with her ammunition neatly packed beside them.


    Lydia didn’t need to guess what Elena was nning. She darted forward to stop her. “Elena, I’m here,” she called out.

    Surprised by Lydia’s sudden arrival, Elena stammered, “H-How did you…?”


    Lydia quickly cut her off, unfolding the situation in a swift, concise manner.


    Since joining the National Intelligence Bureau, Lydia had quickly climbed the ranks by dismantling numerous espionageworks, including thergest one, which had significantly supported her promotion.


    Earle’s recent murder had ignited widespread fury. With Lydia’s prior residency in Avaloria and her proven expertise, she was appointed to lead a critical rescue mission by the intelligence director and military chief.


    After her split with Jeffry, Lydia had thrown herself into her career, oveing a barrage of obstacles.


    With a discreet motion, Lydia slid the bullet pouch away and grasped Elena’s hand with firm resolve. “I’mmanding the rescue. Trust me, together we’ll safely return all the children.”


    Lydia’s words began to dissolve the tension tightening around Elena’s thoughts. The grim discovery of the inders’ bodies had left her fraught, mentally concocting various rescue strategies. It was only upon hearing Lydia’s reassurance that her anxiety began to subside. Her expression stern, Elena dered, “They’re being held hostage because of me. It’s my responsibility to ensure their safe return.”


    Lydia acknowledged with a nod. “We’ll make it. You know about my past with Shadow. I’ve been through this before. We’ll bring them all back.”
