Chapter 18 Yves, Arctic Fox Mercenary Corps
After sending the photo to Sam, George turned to his assistant and asked, “Have you located the individuals who entered Norward City?” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
The assistant said, “No, our team lost track of them around here. It’s strange. This place isn’t that big, but it’s as if they vanished into thin air once they arrived. We can’t find any trace of them.”
The assistant was puzzled. Those people had deliberately fled here, most likely with the intention of harming Isabelle, who had helped Sam.
Sam had even been prepared to negotiate with them
But a night had passed, and Isabelle was safe and sound, while those people seemed to have disappeared completely.
Could it be that their team had been too close in pursuit, and those people didn’t have enough time to do anything before fleeing?
“Disappear? This is no magic.” George looked in the direction where Isabelle had disappeared. Continue the chase. We need to find them, dead or alive. Also, arrange for more people to guard this area to ensure the girl’s safety.”
Isabelle was a benefactor of the Harris family. If she fell into the hands of those people and something happened to her, it would be a disgrace for the Harris family.
And we
gave her money for her saving Sam. Sam gave a ton, so why does she still live in this rickety place?
“Yes. The assistant remembered something. “By the way, sir, our team encountered individuals fro 791 in this area a few hours ago.”
791 was a division under the strongest mercenary group in Melfrey: the Arctic Fox Mercenary Corps.
George said, “Is it him?”
He was talking about Yves, the highest-ranking administrator of the 791 division.
What was Yves’s man doing here?
This small city is unexpectedly full of intrigue.
The assistant said, “But they only appeared briefly and then left, as if they were just passing through.”
George ordered, “Find out why they were here.”
The assistant answered, “Yes.”
As the assistant left, George looked at the dirty and chaotic environment around him, pondered for a moment, and decided to have his assistant call the mayor of Norward City.
Timothy Foster, mayor of Norward City, stood up excitedly when he learned of the other party’s identity, and then he didn’t dare to sit down again, even though the other party couldn’t see him at all.

He held the landline phone in his study with both hands, trembling.
“Don’t worry, I will take good care of her.”
“If you have any other requests, I will definitely fulfil them for you.”
After hanging up the phone, Timothy immediately asked his assistant to gather information about Isabelle. As he waited, he became restless in his study wishing he could take action himself.
He considered whether to visit the Jenkinses, bringing gifts.
Or perhaps he could give the Jenkinses a house or money under some other pretext.
But the Harris family had instructed him not to disrupt the Jenkins family’s life, not to provide them. with any financial assistance, and only to take care of them.
Unless they needed help or were in trouble, that was.
Only then did he suppress the idea of visiting.
He was truly excited and confused. If the Harris family asked him to take care of someone, how could they lack money or a house?
But from his memory, he couldn’t recall any successful person or wealthy official in Norward City coming from Jenkins family.
At this moment. Timothy was extremely curious about Isabelle’s identity.
He never imagined that someone in Norward City would have a connection to the Harris famil Taragon, and that the Harris family would personally take care of them.
Who on earth is this person?
Unable to stay in the study any longer, Timothy decided to go downstairs, only to find his prodigal sneaking back in.
There was no need to ask. He must have been out causing trouble all day.
“You little rascal. Danny has already returned to Taragon. What are you doing here? I told you to accompany Danny properly. Are you taking advantage of this opportunity to misbehave?” Timothy scolded as soon as he opened his mouth, and even wanted to hit him.
Zack dodged and said, “What did I do? I didn’t misbehave. I was doing something important for Danny.”
“Something important?” Timothy, who was chasing after his son, stopped, not believing him at all. “What important thing could you possibly do for Danny?”
“Why would I lie to you? Danny personally asked me to help him find someone, and told me to call him when I find them.”
Zack said as he took out his mobile phone, and sure enough, Danny’s phone number was saved in it.

Zack wasn’t lying. The person Danny had asked him to find was indeed Isabelle.
Danny had been called back to Taragon by his family early in the morning, and had asked him to help locate Isabelle. Zack naturally agreed.
He recognised Isabelle’s school uniform as belonging to Norward High, so he went there early in the morning to inquire.
But after asking around for a whole morning, Zack became more and more confused.
According to the students at Norward High, there was indeed a person named Isabelle, a senior in high school just like him. The physical description matched as well.
But the Isabelle they described was completely different from the Isabelle he had seen last night, or rather, the difference was too great.
In his eyes, Isabelle was cool, handsome, confident, bold, and audacious. He was so amazing that even Danny couldn’t compare.
She was more attractive than any of those hot-bodied beauties.
But according to the students at Norward High, Isabelle was timid, cowardly, weak, hunched over with extreme self-esteem issues, and had abysmal grades. They said she was as stupid as a pig and had been bullied for three years without ever fighting back.
Zack didn’t think Isabelle was an ungifted student who only scored five points in her exams.
This left Zack full of doubts.
Timothy said, “Then you must do a good job for Danny.”
Zack said, “I know.”
He turned around and went to Norward High to find Isabelle himself, thinking about building a relationship with Danny through Isabelle.
He planned to study in the capital for university and hoped to climb the ladder of success by befriending Danny. If he could integrate into Danny’s circle, his future would be limitless.
“How has Danny been enjoying himself these past few days?” Timothy asked.
“He’s been enjoying himself a lot,” Zack replied half-heartedly.
Danny didn’t have much enjoyment in the first few days and found it quite dull until Isabelle appeared last night.
He baded farewell to Danny this morning and noticed that Danny was still filled with excitement.
“You should stay in touch with Danny, be cautious with your words, and avoid offending him. If you can become friends with Danny and earn his appreciation, I will fulfil your wish to buy a car.”
“Really?” Zack’s eyes
eyes brightened.

The “I always keeps my promises.” Timothy was in a particularly good moodhought of establishing a
relationship with the Harrises and Holmeses excited him.
The rise of his family to the top was just around the corner.
Sam looked at the photo sent by his third uncle, initially unsure if the person in the photo was Isabelle.
The girl’s figure in the photo appeared thinner than the night before.
In the photo, Isabelle seemed to have noticed the person taking the photo and slightly turned her head, revealing her soft and three-dimensional profile.
After comparing repeatedly, Sam confirmed that it was Isabelle.
Then Sam noticed the young man in the photo.
Sam had only checked Isabelle’s personal information and didn’t know about her specific family
brother. situation, so he was unaware that she had a younger
When he saw the two of them walking so closely, his reaction mirrored George’s: “Is this… her boyfriend?”
Or her younger brother?
Sam didn’t pay much attention to it. Although Isabelle had saved him, he had also returned the The distance between Taragon and Norward City was vast, and their paths would never cross a to their different backgrounds.
George’s assistant discreetly arranged for a few people nearby to ensure Isabelle’s safety.
That night, when Isabelle went out for a run, she noticed their presence.
Isabelle was always quick and decisive. She’d never leave the affair of confirming the identities of suspicious figures until the next day.
So, on her way back from the run, Isabelle slipped out of their sight.
Just as they were searching around, Isabelle silently appeared behind them and asked, “Looking for me?”
