The next night, Anthony had just finished bathing and was drying his hair. Suddenly, the room door was flung open with a bang. Miguel rushed in while holding a laptop in his hands.
“Master, I got it! I got it!” Miguel exclaimed excitedly.
Anthony stared at him for a moment before he snapped out of it. He looked at him displeased and said, “What's the matter? Do you not know how to knock before entering?”
“We have a signal now!” Miguel said while staring at the laptop.
Upon hearing this, Anthony's displeasure subsided, and his spirits lifted. “Give it to me!” he said.
Miguel immediately handed over the laptop. Upon seeing the flashing signal on the screen, Anthony quickly placed it on the table and began tracking.
At that moment, Miguel continued, “I tried to track it, but the signal was only available until this area. I wanted to pinpoint it further but couldn't get it more accurate.”
Anthony stared at the computer while his eyebrows were brought together. His black hair was still wet and dripping with water. Without hesitation, he said, “Let me try.”
Then, Anthony's hands swiftly tapped on the keyboard, while Miguel watched him by his side. Anthony's hands were smaller than the keyboard, but his typing speed was fast. His hands were moving back and forth swiftly across the keys.
They were well aware that individuals like Lindon, who shut down their laptops regularly, would have a certain level of caution and be on guard. Therefore, they must seize every opportunity since Lindon would shut down his device anytime.
Miguel was watching too. He could feel his heart pounding wildly. He knew that they would lose signal again in just an instant.
At that moment, he thought of something and said, “Master, let me send a message to Magus first. I want to ask him to buy us some more time.”
Anthony nodded.
Then, Miguel turned around and left to find Thalia. He needed Thalia's help to reach out to Magus.
Anthony continued to stare at the laptop screen. He had a rough idea of the location but would have to put in more effort to get a more precise location.
Just then, he suddenly lost signal when he was about to pinpoint the exact location.
He looked at the screen while his unblinking eyes flashed with anger. It was so close. Just a tiny bit more, and he would have made it.
Just then, Miguel and Thalia walked in together. “Master, I just spoke with Magus. He said Lindon hasn't contacted him yet, so the person who contacted him earlier might be someone else.”
“It could be either his superior or his subordinate; both are possible,” Thalia said.
Anthony was still having his gaze fixed on the computer. After a moment, he said, “I almost made it.”
Just then, Anthony's phone rang. He stared at the number on the screen before he said, “It's Magus!”
As he spoke, he answered the phone directly.
Magus immediately asked, “Have you found it?”
With a hint of regret, Anthony exclaimed, “I was almost there!”
“What should we do then?” Magus asked worriedly.
“I need you to buy me some more time when he contacts you. The longer you talk, the more accurate the location will be. Once we have an accurate location, we can find Lina's whereabouts,” Anthony replied.
Upon hearing that, Magus said, “All right, I understand.”
Just as he was about to hang up the phone, Anthony suddenly remembered something. “Oh, one more thing. It would be best to insist on hearing Lina's voice when you contact him. You can even have a conversation with her if allowed. Only then can I be sure that their location is accurate.”
Magus paused momentarily before he understood Anthony's words and replied, “I got it.”
At that moment, before they could end the call, they got the signal again.
Anthony's eyes immediately locked on the screen, and he became serious. He whispered, “Lindon's signal has appeared again. He might be trying to contact someone. Magus, I need you to stay on the phone.”
