Chapter 437
After Bella brought food for us, Dylan and Grayson knocked and entered.
Atlas said nothing and only looked at them.
Dylan said, “Ms.
Ivanna had dinner with her colleagues at The Vine the night before yesterday.
Their dinner ended at 10:45 pm, and the surveillance footage showed her car leaving at 10:57 pm.” Lauren squinted and interjected, “Yeah, I called her around 10:20 at night.
It was noisy on her end.” Dylan added, “When she was on Sebster Street at 11:20 pm, she parked on the roadside for five minutes.
I checked the phone records and found that she had received an anonymous call.
Soon after, her phone was turned off.
The call must’ve come from a temporary phone card.
“There was a ten-minute blackout that stopped the surveillance recording when she drove past Rusvil District.
We lost track of Ms.
Ivanna’s car when the power returned.
Our people are searching for her car now.” Dylan looked at Atlas.
1 “what’s the reason for the power outage?” Atlas furrowed his brows.
“The electricity bureau said there were scheduled tests during that period.
It began on the 17th of this month and progressed through each district.
Rusvil District happened to be on that list that day,” Dylan answered, “I checked, and there were notifications about the tests.” “That’s too much of a coincidence,” I said. Grayson added, “There’s also a record of Trinity leaving the country.
She took off three days ago at 4:27 pm, heading to Monora.” Atlas suggested, “Conduct a reverse investigation to check if she has records of entering neighboring countries, especially several small ones that she can reach by land.” “We’re already checking but haven’t received any updates yet,” Grayson said.
While Lauren remained silent the whole time, Atlas glanced at us and said, “We should eat before continuing.” 1 The last I ate was at ten in the morning since we rushed back from Celestis Island, so I was starving.
While we had a simple meal, Grayson’s phone rang.
He answered and only responded with hums, but his expression grew increasingly severe.
After hanging up, he looked at Atlas and said, “Trinity didn’t stop at Monora.
Instead, she flew to Lido and has already returned to the country by land.
Based on the timeline, she should be here by now.” Atlas looked at Grayson and said, “Continue to trace her whereabouts.” Meanwhile, my heart grew tense again.
I was shocked that Trinity would go to great lengths, indicating she had planned this meticulously.
It also meant Ivanna was in even more danger.
Suddenly, Dylan’s phone rang.
He answered and asked, “Where?” immediately after.
We looked at him, and he nodded, saying into the phone, “Good, check the surrounding surveillance footage.” He looked at us and added, “They found Ivanna’s car at an abandoned factory in the southern suburbs.” “The southern suburbs?” Atlas repeated, instinctively frowning.
After some thought, he said with certainty, “She’s in the downtown area.” I was puzzled, asking, “How are you so sure?” He didn’t answer but quickly made a call instead.
I knew it was Jared on the other end when Atlas spoke, “She’s in the downtown area, and her car is at an abandoned factory in the southern suburbs.
Trinity has returned to Foswood, so the rest is up to you.” I didn’t know what Jared said, but I knew he was displeased, considering Atlas’s expression before he hung up. I understood why Atlas left it to Jared.
After all, Jared knew Trinity best, and only he knew her secret locations.
1 However, I couldn’t help but feel helpless by entrusting Ivanna’s life to Jared.
Currently, it felt like we were being passive.
Atlas seemed to read my thoughts, saying, “Jared should have a general idea of Ivanna’s whereabouts.
We just need to observe him from now on.” I felt relieved because it was a good idea to save us time.
Atlas glanced at Dylan, who immediately understood what Atlas wanted.
Immediately after, Dylan left while Grayson stood up and said, “I’ll continue to monitor Trinity.”
