Ch. 1021..1030: Chapter 1021-1030

Chapter 1021

"The reason she's trapped is because Falcon's methods are insidious. She accidentally fell into his trap. It has nothing to do with her abilities," Collin defended.

Floyd's mouth twitched, "How do you know that?"

"She's my boss, of course I know," Collin replied, unwilling to continue the conversation.

"Alright, let's rescue them. No need to discuss this any further," Floyd shrugged. "Some people just can't handle the truth."

Collin's fist clenched, and he turned to glare at Floyd. "Shut up! Stop talking."

He would have loved to punch Floyd if it weren't for their current situation. Despite the cooperation, members of the Dark Knight Organization were still just as annoying, doing nothing but provoking others.

Floyd glanced at him briefly and decided not to push further after seeing Collin struggling to control his emotions. "Fine, I'll stop arguing with you."

"Fine, truce! Until we rescue my boss, I won't say anything to you!" Collin glared at him once more, then turned and walked briskly ahead, clearly trying to put some distance between them. But considering their cooperation, he eventually slowed down to let Floyd catch up.

Whatever, Collin thought. Saving his boss was more important now, and he didn't want to waste energy bickering with someone like Floyd.

Seeing Collin's actions, Floyd regarded him with rare admiration. Collin showed great composure, indicating that his boss had taught him well. Floyd now acknowledged that Collin's boss was indeed formidable.

Meanwhile, Falcon was hurriedly packing, which left his accomplices bewildered. "Didn't you say they were trapped? Why not go and finish them off? Why the rush to escape?"

"Are you stupid? If we don't run now, we'll get caught," Falcon said, packing quickly. "I know our boss's capabilities better than anyone. If we go there, we'll get counterattacked for sure! And they must have people outside. If we don't escape now, it'll be too late."

His accomplices remained skeptical, "Is your boss really that strong? If so, how did you manage to steal the chip?"Chapter

"That's because she wasn't around at the time!" Falcon didn't want to waste more time explaining. "I know our boss better than anyone. Trust me, or we'll all be finished! Our goal is the chip and the money."

Falcon's serious expression convinced his accomplices. "Alright, let's go with your plan. Hurry and pack!" At that moment, another accomplice exclaimed, "We're done for! I just saw the estate surrounded by people. They're from the Dark Knight Organization and the Nidhogg Organization!"

"They both mobilized?" The accomplice frowned at Falcon. "What now?"

"See? I told you we should've left sooner. Now we can't escape!" Falcon looked at the narrow hole in the basement and said, "We'll crawl through the rat hole. Keep your bodies as small as possible-it's our only way out."

 

Chapter 1022

The two accomplices looked at the narrow rat hole before them, finding it hard to believe. "Are you sure we can fit through this tiny hole? Stop joking."

"I'll try first. If it doesn't work, we'll think of something else." Falcon put on a head cover and lay down to test it out. He was desperate to leave as quickly as possible. He knew all too well Bonnie's skills and methods. Bonnie despised traitors, and death was certain if caught.

Falcon easily dug through the rat hole as the soil around it was loose, eventually creating a path in the corner. Excitement gleamed in his eyes as he called his accomplices over.

"This hole is big enough for us to escape. Hurry, crawl through! Don't forget the chip and the card."

"Got it," one of the accomplices responded. The other followed closely. When Falcon saw them pass through, he crawled out as well.

The sudden brightness outside was almost blinding, giving Falcon a feeling of rebirth. He took a deep breath of fresh air, ready to share the joy of survival with his accomplices. However, when he turned around, the sight before him made his blood run cold, and his smile froze.

A large group surrounded the area, and he recognized some faces from the Nidhogg Organization. These people had been sent to capture them. He had suspected Bonnie would have a backup plan, which was evident now.

Falcon felt admiration and urgency as he tried to signal his accomplices to run. However, someone from the Nidhogg Organization spotted him before he could speak.

"Falcon is over there! Quick, catch him!"Chapter

As soon as the shout rose, the surrounding people converged on Falcon and his two accomplices. The three of them paled and quickly bolted in the opposite direction. Members of the Nidhogg and Dark Knight Organization gave chase immediately.

Collin and Floyd arrived at the abandoned manor's main hall with their teams. Seeing the disarmed traps around, Collin felt worried for Bonnie.

"Mr. Boyd! Mr. Boyd! Are you here? If you hear me, answer!" Collin called out while moving forward, his heart in his throat. His subordinates scanned the area with flashlights, searching for any sign of Bonnie and the others.

Floyd frowned while surveying the surroundings. Noticing footprints leading to the backyard door, he quickly approached. Floyd saw several spots where the soil had been disturbed. He was uncertain of the situation and turned to Collin.

"I think your boss and my boss went this way, but there are several places where the soil has been dug up. I'm not sure what to make of it. Come take a look."

"Places where the soil has been dug?" Collin furrowed his brow and quickly went to Floyd's side.

 

Chapter 1023

Upon seeing the scene before him, Collin quickly understood the situation. "Falcon buried landmines here. The spots where the soil has been disturbed are where our bosses defused the traps. Be careful, everyone, and watch your step. Don't step on any landmines."

Although their boss had defused the traps, that cunning and treacherous Falcon might have planted more landmines. They had brought a significant number of people, so it was crucial to be cautious to avoid any accidents.

In unison, the subordinates responded, "Understood."

Floyd was surprised upon hearing this. "Where did Falcon get landmines in such a short time?"

"How should I know? I'm not him," Collin retorted, eager to find Bonnie and uninterested in further discussion.

Floyd pondered a more profound issue, "Do you think he found a stronger backer in Yale? If so, recovering the 12 billion and the chip will be even more challenging." =

Upon hearing this, Collin's already furrowed brow tightened further. "It's possible, but the priority right now is to find our boss and your boss. We can only proceed with the next steps after confirming their safety."

Floyd rarely agreed with Collin, nodding, "You're right. Let's find them quickly."

"Okay," Collin replied and began shouting, "Mr. Boyd! Mr. Boyd! Are you here?"

The faint sound in the distance made Bonnie, resting against the tunnel wall, open her eyes. She immediately met Ivor's deep black eyes.

She blinked in surprise before asking, "Did you hear something?"

Ivor nodded slightly, "I heard it. It sounds like that subordinate who is always with you."

"Yes, it's him," Bonnie said as she slowly stood up and stretched her stiff body. She shouted toward the tunnel entrance, "I'm here!"

Her voice quickly reached Collin. His eyes lit up instantly, "Mr. Boyd! Mr. Boyd! Where are you? I'll come find you right away!"

"Don't rush," Bonnie's voice halted Collin in his tracks. "Why, Mr. Boyd? Are there still traps set by Falcon?"

Bonnie explained her current situation, "I'm in a tunnel. There are many rat traps near the entrance. You should check carefully before coming over, or you might get hurt."

"I understand, Mr. Boyd. I'll have the team check first," Collin responded, turning to his subordinates to give orders. "You heard Mr. Boyd. Start checking for rat traps. Be careful, and don't be careless."

"Understood," the subordinates responded and started checking for traps.

After giving instructions, Collin didn't just stand idle. He began checking the area ahead. Floyd followed while frowning.Chapter

Soon, the two arrived near the large pit. Collin's eyes reddened with anger, seeing the dense array of rat traps around the entrance. "That bastard Falcon! Setting such vicious traps to trap the boss after everything the boss has done for him!"

Floyd didn't know what to say for a moment upon hearing this. He bent down and picked up a stick to start

clearing the traps. "Your boss and my boss should be nearby. Let's clear these traps and get them out." Collin looked at him sharply. "Do you think I need you to tell me something so obvious?"

 

Chapter 1024noveldrama

Floyd glanced back at Collin in disbelief and continued to clear the rat traps in front of him. About two or three minutes later, they finished removing all the traps and saw Bonnie and Ivor trapped in the pit.

Collin was the first to express concern, "Mr. Boyd, are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Bonnie replied briefly, then looked at Ivor and suggested, "Squat down and let me step on your shoulders to get up. Then, the three of us will pull you up together."

Floyd's mouth twitched upon hearing this.

'The leader of the Nidhogg Organization had a lot of nerve! Asking Mr. Ivor to squat down and be used as a stepping stool? That was reckless!'

He remembered Ivor was obsessed with cleanliness and hated being touched by others, even himself, though his wife was an exception. Floyd anticipated that the leader of the Nidhogg Organization would be harshly rejected.

To his shock and disbelief, the scene that unfolded next left him stunned. Ivor squatted down to allow the leader of Nidhogg Organization to step on his shoulders and climb up!

Floyd rubbed his eyes, questioning his sight. After rubbing his eyes several times, the scene remained unchanged, confirming it was not an illusion.

Reflecting on Mr. Ivor's words during his first encounter with the Nidhogg Organization leader, Floyd's expression grew increasingly complex and peculiar.

'Could it be that Mr. Ivor is somewhat fond of the Nidhogg Organization leader? But, the Nidhogg Organization leader is a man!'

'If the object of his boss's affection were a woman, it might be somewhat understandable, but if it were a man, that would be shocking.' Floyd wondered what Mr. Ivor's wife, far away in the Pyralis, would think if she knew about this.

After pulling Bonnie up, Collin saw Floyd constantly massaging his eyes and asked, "What's wrong? Did sand get in your eyes?"

Floyd snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Bonnie, standing beside Collin with an indescribable expression. He had to admit the Nidhogg Organization leader was quite handsome. However, Ivor was married, and this unexpected situation was challenging for him to accept. He felt deeply conflicted about whether to inform Ivor's wife.

Seeing Floyd staring at her with an indescribable expression, Bonnie raised her hand to touch her face in confusion. "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

Floyd quickly gathered his thoughts, coughed lightly, and composed himself before responding, "No, no. I was just thinking about something and got distracted. I didn't mean anything by it. Don't misunderstand."

Bonnie still found Floyd's gaze odd but couldn't pinpoint what was strange about it. "I wasn't misunderstanding anything. I was just asking."

 

Chapter 1025

She didn't overthink it and turned to look at the pit's opening. "I have a rope here. You guys try to see if you can pull him up. If that doesn't work, we'll figure out another way." She pulled a rope from the small bag behind her and handed it to Collin.

Floyd was still standing in a daze when Collin grabbed the rope and threw it to the ground. He shouted, " Hey, what are you standing there for? Is he your boss or mine? Get over here and help!"

Floyd hadn't been dazing for long. He was shocked by the situation involving Ivor and the leader of the Nidhogg Organization, still trying to wrap his head around it.

He was startled back to reality when he heard Collin yell and realized he had almost completely forgotten about his boss's safety. He immediately wanted to slap himself hard.

He quickly went over to help Collin pull the rope. Collin looked away from Floyd and asked Ivor, trapped in the pit, "Hey, Dark Knight Organization leader, can you grab the rope? If you can't, let us know, and we'll lower it a bit more."Chapter

Soon, Ivor's voice came from inside, "If there's more rope, lower it a bit more. I can grab it, but I might not be able to climb up as it is."

Collin understood instantly, "Okay, we'll lower it more."

After lowering a substantial length of the rope, he asked again, "Is it good now?"

"Yes," Ivor wrapped the rope around his hand to ensure a firm grip and said, "You can pull me up."

"Alright." Collin glared at Floyd, who gave a nod and gripped the rope more tightly before beginning to pull briskly.

Bonnie came over to assist them both when she saw how hard it was for them to pull Ivor up. Ivor sensed the upward pull and used some climbing techniques to ascend. With the combined efforts of the four, Ivor was pulled up in less than a minute.

As he dusted off his clothes, he saw Floyd not far away and frowned slightly. "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to stay with the team to ensure Falcon doesn't escape?"

Feeling the intense aura from his boss, Floyd quickly explained, "I assigned others to the task. Members from the Nidhogg Organization are also there. My presence here won't affect the mission."

Ivor reluctantly nodded upon hearing this. "That's acceptable."

Bonnie overheard their conversation and turned to Collin to ask, "What's the situation with Falcon? Have we received any updates from our team?"

"No updates yet. I'll use the signal transmitter to check with them." Collin replied, pulling out a small device from his inner pocket. Just as he was about to send a message, an incoming message popped on the

screen.

"Chief Collin, Falcon, and his two accomplices have fled to the back mountain. The forest there is vast. Can you send more people to assist us? We need more personnel to find Falcon quickly,"

Collin was uncertain and showed Bonnie the message, "Mr. Boyd, what do you think? Should we send more people?"

Bonnie narrowed her eyes slightly and responded without hesitation, "Is that even a question? Of course, we need to send more people. We must capture that traitor Falcon as soon as possible! If he gets away this time, he'll be more cautious in the future, making it much harder to catch him."

 

Chapter 1026

Collin nodded and immediately said, 'I'll send a message to deploy additional personnel to assist them."

He looked at the pile of disarmed traps in the corner, his voice filled with anger. 'Falcon set up so many traps, clearly wanting to kill you. You treated him so well, and that ungrateful scum dared to do this to you. It's infuriating just to think about it.'

Bonnie shook her head. "The Falcon I painstakingly trained is already dead. The current one is merely a thief and traitor who stole my chip. There's no need to get angry over such a person. We just need to capture him and deal with him according to the rules."

Her tone was so calm, yet it sent shivers down one's spine. Even Collin, who had been by her side for a long time, shuddered when he heard her speak this way. Collin could foresee the miserable fate awaiting Falcon once he was captured.

However, he wouldn't sympathize with someone like Falcon; he would only feel satisfaction. After all, a despicable traitor deserved nothing less than a punishment worse than death.

Ivor listened to the conversation and offered, "I can send some of my people to help you capture Falcon. Do you need them?"

Bonnie glanced at him indifferently. "While I appreciate your offer, there's something wrong with the way you put it." "What's wrong with it?" Ivor didn't quite catch her meaning.

"Falcon took 1.6 billion from you. Sending your people is for your benefit, not for mine. So, don't talk about assisting me.""

Bonnie had seen through Ivor's ulterior motives. He deliberately phrased it as assisting her, hoping to make her owe him a favor and use that as leverage for future negotiations. However, Bonnie wasn't naive and wouldn't fall into the trap he set so easily.

Ivor looked at Bonnie with a gradually deepening gaze. 'I knew the Nidhogg leader was sharp and wise, but I didn't expect him to see through my intentions so effortlessly. Such a person is indeed frighteningly perceptive. Fortunately, I'm the one dealing with him. Anyone else would likely be outmatched.'

Ivor reined in his expression slightly and smiled at Bonnie. "We are allies, after all. Is it necessary to draw such clear lines?"Chapter

Seeing him continue to play dumb, Bonnie clarified, "Of course it's necessary. I don't want to owe you any favors without reason. Even close brothers settle accounts, let alone us."

Ivor looked surprised for a time before grinning, though his eyes showed little warmth. 'Your level of caution is a bit excessive."

Bonnie raised an eyebrow and retorted, "And you're not?"

Ivor was momentarily speechless, then responded after a pause, 'I thought that after what we just went through, we were already friends. I didn't expect you to be so guarded against me. It makes me a bit sad.'

Bonnie smirked slightly and glanced at him. "You're sad? I can't tell. Why don't you cry for me to see?"

 

Chapter 1027

Ivor was taken aback but quickly found a response. 'Forget it. Haven't you heard the saying 'men don't easily shed tears? I won't cry and embarrass myself."

The last time he was left speechless by someone was Bonnie herself. The leader of the Nidhogg Organization was brilliant and very sharp- tongued! 'Anyone who interacted with him probably wouldn't dare to become his opponent.'

Bonnie was disinterested in further conversation and started strolling ahead with her hands behind her back. "Let's head to the back of the mountain and see how the search for Falcon is going."

Collin tried to dissuade her. 'Mr. Boyd, the area is dangerous. You should wait at the hotel for the team to bring him back."

Bonnie stopped and turned to look at him with raised eyebrows. "Are you joking? Do I look like someone who retreats from danger? Besides, I fell into Falcon's trap because I was careless. If he used fair tactics, do you think he'd be a match for me?"

Collin thought it over and realized she was right. His boss was the top-tier figure in the organization. Falcon was nothing in comparison.

It was just that their boss had been busy with other matters in recent years and wasn't around much, making him almost forget how formidable she was.

Collin felt nostalgic for the days they fought side by side in the organization. He felt excited and wanted to join forces with her to capture Falcon. "Mr. Boyd, why don't we team up and catch Falcon in the mountain? It's been a while since we worked together, and I'd love to collaborate with you again."

Bonnie raised her eyebrows and accepted the idea. "Alright, but let's wait until we assess the situation."

"Yes, Mr. Boyd!" Collin nodded excitedly, following closely behind her.Chapter

Ivor also followed, his deep gaze fixed on Bonnie. 'I wonder what kind of person Mr. Boyd is in everyday life and what experiences he had gone through to become so strong and wise.'

Floyd noticed Ivor's gaze and frowned in confusion. He cautiously reminded, "Mr. Ivor, have you forgotten that you're already married to Ms. Bonnie?"

Ivor was briefly puzzled by the seemingly out-of-place question. "What are you talking about? How could I forget something so important?" Floyd glanced at Bonnie's back and said with a complex expression, "If you haven't forgotten, then why are you staring at the leader of the Nidhogg Organization? Are you interested in him?"

Ivor was utterly exasperated. 'I'm interested in him, but not in the way you think. Stop overthinking and don't go spreading nonsense to my honey, understand?"

Hearing this term of endearment, Bonnie suddenly stopped in her tracks.

 

Chapter 1028

Did she mishear, or were the leaders of the Dark Knight Organization actually calling someone 'Honey'? Or was it just a similar-sounding name? Hearing this familiar term so unexpectedly in Yale gave her a strange sense of deja vu.

Noticing Bonnie's gaze, Ivor asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you have something to say?"

Bonnie scrutinized the masked face of the Dark Knight Organization leader and thought she could faintly see a resemblance to Ivor. 'Could it be...?' Just as the suspicion arose in her mind, she dismissed it. Ivor was on a business trip in a neighboring city to Pyralis. He couldn't be here.

Her feeling of familiarity was probably just because she was used to Ivor calling her 'honey."

Shaking off her thoughts, Bonnie responded, "It's nothing. Let's head to the mountains."

Ivor was puzzled by her look and couldn't figure out why she was staring at him that way. Nonetheless, he didn't press the matter and followed silently behind them. Floyd glanced between Bonnie and Ivor, sensing something odd.

Half an hour later, the group arrived at the back of the mountain. The subordinates of the Nidhogg Organization greeted Bonnie with respect. "Mr. Boyd."

The subordinates of the Dark Knight Organization also greeted Ivor.

Bonnie and Ivor both nodded slightly in acknowledgment. Bonnie lifted her gaze towards the forest. 'Have you located Falcon yet?"

A subordinate responded, "We've already narrowed down the search area. It shouldn't be long before we capture them."

"In such a short time? Your efficiency is quite impressive," Bonnie remarked, turning to Collin. "Didn't you say it's been a long time since we fought side by side? Want to team up to catch Falcon? Then let's go."

Collin's eyes lit up with excitement at her words. "Great! With our teamwork, we'll catch Falcon in no time!"Chapter

"Hmm."

Bonnie smiled slightly, seeing his excitement, reminiscing about the old days in the organization when they fought together. The tension, the excitement, the challenge it was all exhilarating!

Ivor approached them. 'Do you need us to join you?"

Bonnie waved her hand and decisively refused. "No, this is our internal matter. You don't need to come."

Since she made it clear, Ivor didn't insist. "Alright, we'll wait for you here then."

"Okay."

Bonnie then gave Collin a look, and he followed her as they left together. Ivor watched her as she walked away. His eyes glinted.

 

Chapter 1029

Considering his interests, Ivor wanted to go along to help and build a good relationship.

However, she blocked him with just the word "family matters." It was unclear if she had discerned his intentions and didn't want to give him any advantage. If that were the case, it would be problematic.

Following his gaze, Floyd looked at Bonnie and was momentarily stunned. "Mr. Ivor, are you reluctant to part with him?"

Ivor turned his head and gave Floyd a look, as if he were an idiot. "When we get back to Pyralis, I'll give you a day off. You should see an ophthalmologist."

Floyd didn't immediately understand what Ivor meant. "But, Mr. Ivor, there's nothing wrong with my eyes."

Ivor raised his eyebrows high. "Nothing wrong? Are you sure?"

"Nothing-"Floyd was about to finish his sentence when he suddenly realized what Ivor meant.

Seeing that Floyd had caught on, Ivor put on a stern face. "To reiterate, my interest in the Nidhogg Organization's leader is not what you think. Don't say anything shocking in front of me again, understood?"

Floyd knew Ivor's words were more of a warning, especially about not spouting nonsense in front of Ms. Bonnie. He quickly nodded in agreement. "Understood, Mr. Ivor. I won't say such things anymore."

"Good." Ivor gave him a slight sidelong glance before looking away and finding a place to sit. "We'll wait here."

"Yes, boss," Floyd replied, standing by his side.

Meanwhile, Bonnie and Collin were following the clues provided by their subordinates. Collin kept looking around and observing their surroundings. "Mr. Boyd, there doesn't seem to be any tracks here. Should we check somewhere else?"

Bonnie shook her head. "No need. We should pick places that don't show signs of passage to catch Falcon and his men off guard. That way, they won't have anywhere to run."

"Oh, so that's your plan? Got it," Collin nodded, his admiration for Bonnie growing. Though she hadn't been on missions for years, her tactical thinking was still sharp.

Despite having more recent experience, Collin realized his considerations weren't as thorough as hers. This reaffirmed why he followed her so loyally.

Bonnie suddenly spotted something and gestured to Collin. He understood immediately that someone was hiding behind a tree.Chapter

Once they were concealed, Bonnie whispered so only he could hear, "Falcon and his two accomplices are hiding in that pile of grass ahead. First, we need to confirm if they're armed. If not, we'll move in.'

"Got it," Collin replied softly, pulling out a mini binocular from his inner coat pocket and looking in the direction Bonnie indicated.

These binoculars were Bonnie's invention, providing a clear view even from a distance. One look through them revealed the situation on the other side in detail.

 

Chapter 1030

Collin could easily see the situation with Falcon and his two accomplices. "From what I can tell, none of them have any large weapons. But since they are lying prone, it's hard to tell if they have any concealed weapons, like guns."

"Knowing they don't have large weapons is good enough," Bonnie said, beginning to lay out her plan. "You attack from the left, I'll attack from the right. We have to move quickly and not give them any chance to react. Otherwise, we might find ourselves in danger. Understand?"

Even though she and Collin could easily handle Falcon and his two accomplices, there were too many unknown variables. They had to be cautious and not underestimate their opponents.

"I understand, Mr. Boyd. I'll do my best to keep up with your speed," Collin said, feeling some pressure.

After all, his boss was incredibly fast, with movements that were hard to predict. She could usually incapacitate an enemy before they even realized what was happening. Keeping up with her would be a challenge.

"No worries, just be as quick as you can. I'm not expecting you to match my speed exactly," Bonnie said, her eyes narrowing with a sharp glint. Are you ready?"

Collin took a deep breath and quickly responded, "Ready!'

Bonnie lowered her voice and started counting down.

"Three."

"Two."

"One."

"Go!"

As soon as she finished, both shot out like arrows from a bow.

Hiding in the grass, Falcon suddenly felt a chill down his back. "Do you guys feel like it's a bit cold here?"

One of his accomplices gave him a look that suggested he was an idiot. "What's cold about hiding in a grass pile? I think there's something wrong with your brain, not the temperature."

Falcon glared at him. 'Who are you calling an idiot?"

The accomplice retorted, "Who else but you?"

Falcon was about to retort when another accomplice cut him off.Chapter

"Can you two shut up? Do you know what situation we're in? Stop arguing!"

Falcon calmed down and remembered that the Nidhogg Organization and Dark Knight Organization had surrounded the area. He frowned deeply. "In this situation, getting out of here will be tough"

"You think we don't know that? Stop talking nonsense and come up with a plan! How are we supposed to get out of here?"

The fear in the accomplice's angry voice was palpable. He was terrified of being captured and tortured.

"Don't rush. I have a backup plan, but I won't use it unless necessary, Falcon said, frowning tightly.

"What plan? Isn't now the time to use it? Do you want to wait until we're captured?" the accomplice said in frustration and anxiety.

"Calm down. We're well hidden here. Let's wait and see. If it comes to it, I'll use my plan," Falcon replied.

"Fine, just don't get us all caught, the accomplice muttered.

Just then, the accomplice noticed something was wrong. He instinctively turned around to look behind him. He screamed when he saw the sudden appearance of a dark figure.

Falcon frowned. "Why are you screaming? You'll attract them here."
