His Devious Rule

Chapter 524  Underestimated

And also, she can\'t appear level-headed when the driver was excessively attentive to them and Jackson was freaked out. So she flustered, "What is this white gas?" It also served as an alert to Dot.

Then began her battle of holding her breath. Meanwhile, she moved her hands and slammed the section separator and windshield.

Dot took a moment to discern the white gas before he desperately asked her, [Shall I take action?] He could stop the car, use the cops and get them out safely.

Being unconscious is dangerous in a life-threatening mission. Not to mention, she wasn\'t in complete disguise and Miles Johnson might identify her easily.

If Anya\'s main aim was just to keep Emma and Jackson safe, they could have done it in Narnia. It wasn\'t a rescue operation but a secret mission to catch the criminal. If Dot intervenes now, she will have to take Jackson and abort the plan.

Even if they catch the driver or the men following them, they were of no use to her in the case. The prominent criminals will freely live anywhere in the world and their racket will continue.

Jackson\'s smartness already ruined the smooth plan. Since it hadn\'t reached the level out of her hand, she can\'t afford more bumps on the road.

She gritted her teeth as she will have to respond to Dot. If he was any other Team Ace, she could have used the tapping sound as a signal. But Dot wasn\'t aware of it.

She will have to speak which will cause her to inhale a good amount of gas. However, she had no choice, "Noo…" She cried.

She started digging through the bag, taking each item and hitting the windshield, like a smart girl but frightened to think straight. Since the fake long hair was covering most of the face, her acting wasn\'t caught.

She repeated her actions as she hid the dismantled parts of her handgun in her boots and pockets. She was securing the pocket knife in the sleeves when she started feeling dizzy and vision blurry.

She can\'t afford to inhale any more gas. She immediately fell on Jackson to use his thick jacket as an air filter.

Jackson was in a worse condition. He was forcing himself to be awake and swayed on his seat. He held Anya before he lost consciousness and fell on her.

Anya could feel the stronghold as if Jackson wanted to protect her. But his grip loosened eventually. Since he fell on her, it looked more flawless. Nevertheless, Anya lost consciousness.

The sleeping gas had stopped long ago but the traces stayed in the air of the passenger section. The driver drove the car slowly as he looked behind the two repeatedly.

The boy was unconscious and the girl\'s face was hardly visible. Nonetheless, he had seen the girl\'s eyes roll and fall unconscious. So he breathed in relief and focused on the road.

He was transferring the students for the fifth time. They always shifted the students to luxurious hotels in the city and smoothly transacted without arising any doubts.

However, this time Miles Johnson was cautious and changed the plans. They had expected the two students to freak out when they entered the deserted Garnet Township. Hence they prepared the sleeping gas, but he didn\'t expect the boy to start doubting them right from the beginning.

–––––––

Dot was anxious when he wasn\'t able to hear Anya or Jackson. He heard the driver speaking with somebody over the call.

[Boss, the boy was acting suspicious. I had to use sleeping gas.] Dot noted that the man was a bit hesitant and fearful.

[Yes, boss.] It was the relieved voice of the driver.

Dot held on to his horses trusting Anya. Because without him, Anya would have dealt with the mission on her own. So she will have her way.

Now he understood how different and unpredictable the missions are for the Team Ace member.

Taking a long breath, he waited for Anya to signal him while carrying out her commands.

Meanwhile, at the airport,

Rob had heavy frowns and Alvin\'s face was dark while watching an aircraft circle the same place despite the runway being free for a long time.

Why were they delaying the landing?

That wasn\'t making any sense but a delay of time.

Alvin could feel something was happening but he couldn\'t put a finger on it. As far as he knew, the city didn\'t have a private airport, then what was Miles Johnson doing?

Alvin furrowed as soon as he noted Anya\'s location was stationed in Garnet Township. It was an abandoned locality. It was abandoned due to a chemical manufacturing industry that heavily polluted the water and air.

He was able to discern Miles\'s men were avoiding the surveillance of the city. Nobody goes to Garnet township thus the area could be smoothly taken under control and used for illegal activities. If any person enters the site, they can spot them easily.

Rob watched the private jet land. He used the binoculars and zoomed in to the aircraft which slowly came to a halt. His eyes slowly widened when he saw Miles\'s secretary get off the jet but Miles.

He didn\'t divert his attention in case Miles was playing them. So he followed the private jet air hostess. She was a lady without disguise. Neither the secretary nor the air Hostess had large luggage.

The private jet parked aside and the pilots left with their cabin bags but there was no sign of Miles. He reported to Alvin in alarm, "Boss, Miles Johnson didn\'t come to the airport."

Alvin: "..."

They had seen the pictures of Miles taking the plane. The plane didn\'t stop anywhere. He couldn\'t understand how Miles Johnson could disappear.

What was Miles Johnson up to?

Did they underestimate Miles?

Rob stepped aside to confirm Miles didn\'t change his mind before the take-off from Country X.

The dread was just under the surface thinking of Anya being in grave danger. Alvin itched to grab the neck of Miles\'s secretary but if he can\'t be smooth and helpful to his wife, Anya will be the one to lose her life.

More importantly, he has to believe in his wife and her capabilities. She was much more than his wife.

Unaware of Miles\' location, Alvin understood why Anya and Zane stressed to him that he has to stay beside Zane. Every action in the mission is unpredictable and the threat will be just around the corner.

He quickly dialed Linus and Mark to command them to get Zane back to the Oasis mansion and increase security. He was ready to head back to Narnia if required.
