Chapter 791

“Why?” Jayson asked.
The guard replied, “I’m afraid I have to tell you that things over there are in complete chaos right now, organized acts of terror. On top of that, it’s a war zone.”
Jayson’s eyes narrowed instantly, his brow furrowing. “Is it very bad?”
“Yes, Mr. Larkin. It’s dangerous. I strongly advise against moving forward.”
The guard checked their position. “We’re less than two miles away, and the area is being sealed off.”
At that moment, Jayson heard distant explosions that rattled his eardrums.
Sealed off?
That meant they could be trapped.
His chest tightened and his expression darkened. “Hold on.”
He tried calling Ariel again, but there was still no answer.
The unknown was too dangerous for him to take even a small risk.
If Ariel was still there, she would be in serious danger and might even…

Jayson pressed his lips together. Without wasting a second, he started contacting the embassy. He needed someone to intervene and ensure Ariel’s safety.
The embassy said it would take time, but Jayson wasn’t the type to just wait.
His eyes sharpened, and he quickly dialed the Croinian government.
Operating alone here limited him somewhat, but Ariel’s status was highly important to the Croinian government. His priority was to alert them immediately, so they could work with the local authorities. That was the most reliable way to handle this.
After the call, he stared ahead.
With the unrest in front of him, the signal was likely cut off. He probably wouldn’t be able to reach Ariel anytime
soon.
He checked his watch. In a cold, deep voice, he said resolutely, “Everyone, I’m offering the highest fee. Send in as many people as you need to find my wife and ensure her safety.”
There was no other choice. Sitting idle wouldn’t help. After all, bullets wouldn’t wait.
The security team he hired was made up of former special forces, hardened in battles through gunfire and explosions. For them, this wasn’t anything unusual.
Hearing Jayson’s offer, they exchanged glances, then quickly reported up the chain.

“No problem. But Mr. Larkin, we can’t guarantee the outcome completely.”
“I don’t need guarantees. Just find her ASAP,” Jayson said.
Every second mattered now. Time was their most precious resource. Fresh chapters posted on.net
The security team agreed.
Jayson glanced at the time. His sharp features were etched with seriousness as he said, “I’m going in with you.”
He couldn’t just sit and wait. Multiple teams were already arranged, and backup was in place.
The guards were taken aback by Jayson’s decisiveness and courage. After all, except for people from this region, most would instinctively fear such situations. When lives were on the line, few would act so recklessly.
One of the guards said sincerely, “Mr. Larkin, you must really love your wife.”
Jayson kept dialing Ariel without looking up. “Yes, I do.”
When they reached the target zone, the scene was even worse. Gunfire cracked constantly.
Jayson stepped out. “Please split up and search. This is a photo of my wife. Her name is Ariel Walker.”
He sent the team a photo from his phone. 1
“Yes, sir!”
Jayson watched the black smoke fill the sky. His expression grew heavier as he moved deeper forward.
Meanwhile, Ariel’s convoy was stopped by a group of men.
From a distance, she could feel the deadly intent radiating from them—a brutality not bound by Croinia’s laws.
Among them was a royal blue sports car. The luxury vehicle looked completely out of place here.
