Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 83

The camera angle switched, and to everyone's surprise, a bunch of native kids had captured Hubery and Hedy from team 06 and 07, both covered in dirt, and were leading them towards their camp.

The officer was shocked, "They've been nabbed? When did this happen?" The safety of the guests had him on edge instantly.

The soldier explained, "Hubery and Hedy have been together since they met yesterday afternoon. About half an hour ago, Hubery's teammates heard gunshots. When they went to check it out, they found these native kids had ambushed them and captured them at their resting spot."

The officer frowned, "Why are you just telling me this now? This is serious!"

The soldier was a bit embarrassed, he had just found out himself. After the gunshots, there were movements from Eileen's side, so he shifted his focus there. It was more interesting over there, wasn't it?

The officer thought for a moment, and then said, "Give Egbert the order to rescue Hubery and Hedy."

The soldier asked, "Should I give the order now?"

The officer frowned, thought again and said, "Find the right time to give the order, keeping his identity a secret is the most important thing."

The soldier acknowledged, "Yes, sir!"

Meanwhile, Eileen and Egbert were hiding behind a rock slope not far from the native camp.

Eileen anxiously asked Egbert, "Can we go now? They've let their guard down. I can sneak in, I won't confront them! I know that according to humanitarian and primitive civilization protection principles, we're not supposed to interact with natives and interfere with their culture. But they took my SecondChance Card, I need to get it back, it's my SecondChance Card!"

-[LOL, how did it become yours all of a sudden?]

-[You just saw it, it's not yours yet.]

Egbert nodded, comforting Eileen, whispering, "I know it's yours, just wait a bit longer, okay?"

-[Ugh, the current film emperor is losing his dignity just for a free meal.]

Eileen reluctantly continued to wait.

All of a sudden, the drone in the sky descended. Eileen, already in a bad mood, glared at it irritably. The drone quickly dodged her and whispered to Egbert, "Mr. Reed, can I have a word?"

Eileen immediately questioned, "Why do you need to step away to talk? Are you going to gossip about me?"

The drone was silent for a moment, discreetly floated behind Egbert, not daring to stick its head out.

Egbert said, "Don't scare it."

Then he said, "I'll be back soon."

Eileen watched him step away sulkily.

Egbert was only gone for a moment, he returned quickly. As soon as he came back, the drone flew back up. Eileen curiously asked, "What did it say?"

Egbert shook his head.

Eileen huffed, "Fine, don't tell me, I don't want to know anyway."

Egbert helplessly said, "You'll know soon anyway."

And soon enough, Eileen found out. Because she saw Hubery and Hedy, being dragged along by a group of naked children, looking like dumplings.
