"Hmm. I know, my men are on their way and will be at Hill 372 in about two hours," Chris said as he walked over to the map Karl had placed in front of him and reached out to point to Hill 372.
"Are you certain that the Aunt Cecelia is there?" He inquired.
"Yes. Charlotte's confession before she got caught is highly credible." Luther said.
Chris shrugged, "So, where is my cousin? Where is she?"
Karl subconsciously glanced toward the room of the safe house.
"We don't want her to be part of the action." Luther cleared his throat and didn't hold back, "The closer you are to someone, the more distraught you are at the moment. She has fallen asleep, and hopefully by the time she wakes up, everything will be resolved."
Chris followed Karl's eyes to the closed door of the safe house and had a rough idea in his mind.
"By the way, Mr. Warner. Thank you for giving me the copper mine at the border of Alvonia and Pascaylia. But forgive me for not being able to accept your kind offer. Although Auntie Cecelia and I are not that close, we are family, and rescuing her is my due obligation." Chris retorted.
"Good." Luther nodded, noncommittal.
"The people I brought with me are all special elite soldiers. Together with the mercenaries hired by Mr. Warner outside the country, there are enough people. Before coming, I have analyzed the terrain, and the only difficulty we have now is that we need to know the best route to the mountain. I believe you have all thought of it?" Chris inquired.
"Yes. We're working on it." Karl pointed to the map, "For now, it looks like this path is the only option. Unless there are other trails we don't know about."
"There's absolutely no way to contact Hill 372 inside the secret hospital right now?" Chris asked again.
"Yes, all kinds of satellite connections have been tried. They were all cut off by Otis and there was no way to contact the people inside." Karl said.
