Bonnie knew more about Falcon than Ivor, so he didn't say much and simply agreed. "Alright, I'll send the signal to them now."
He then took a signal transmitter from his inner pocket, inputted the message, and sent it to Floyd. "Done."
They had anticipated that there would be no signal in such a place, so they hadn't brought their phones. Instead, they relied on the signal transmitters developed by their respective organizations. Fortunately, they had these or might have been trapped for an unknown time.
"Okay, now we wait," Bonnie said, leaning against the dirt wall and closing her eyes to rest. She felt it wouldn't be long before Collin came to rescue them. She had faith in Collin's abilities.
Seeing this, Ivor didn't say anything further and closed his dark eyes.
Meanwhile, Collin and Floyd received the signals and messages from their respective leaders simultaneously. They looked at each other in unison and exclaimed, "Something's wrong!"
Floyd quickly composed himself and shared the message Ivor had sent him. "Mr. Ivor wants me to surround the abandoned estate and prevent Falcon from escaping. What's your directive?"
Collin didn't hold back and shared, "According to Mr. Boyd, she and Mr. Ivor are trapped and need me to rescue them."
"Trapped?" Floyd frowned deeply. "I'll send others to surround the estate while I go with you to rescue them. My job is to protect him and ensure his safety."
"It's not up to me, do as you wish," Collin said indifferently. He didn't mind; he would rescue Mr. Boyd anyway, and having one more or one less person didn't make much difference.
"Then it's settled," Collin said, turning to his subordinates. "You, take our men and surround the exits near the estate. Keep a close watch and don't let Falcon escape, understand?"
The named subordinate stood straight and responded firmly, "Understood!"
He then led his team to surround the estate. Collin continued to give orders, "You four, come with me to rescue Mr. Boyd. The rest of you coordinate with the Dark Knight Organization to surround the estate and ensure Falcon doesn't get away."
"Yes," the subordinates responded and began to act.
Collin led the way and warned Floyd to keep up. "If you're coming with me, stay close. Don't fall behind, or you'll end up in a trap, and I won't know how to rescue you."
Floyd was observing the dark environment of the estate and was surprised by Collin's words. "He managed to set traps in such harsh conditions?"
"Yes, Falcon is a true disciple of Mr. Boyd regarding traps. If Mr. Boyd can set traps in such places, then Falcon can, too. Besides, how could someone as skilled as Mr. Boyd be trapped if there weren't traps?" Collin spoke with a hint of pride when mentioning his boss.
"But if she's so skilled, why is she trapped?" Floyd felt Collin was exaggerating.
Upon hearing Floyd doubt his boss's abilities, Collin rolled his eyes at him without hesitation.
