chapter1304

Lydia had Chris transfer everything over to her phone. Then she asked Juna to power down Lucinda's phone and slip it back under the pillow, right where it belonged. No one could know what they were up to, not until they had a real plan.

Juna came back just a few minutes later.

"Lydia, it's back in place."

"Great. Now help me check what's on here."

"Okay."

Juna unlocked Lydia's phone and started scrolling through the files. The more she read, the wider her eyes got.

"This is crazy, she whispered. "I can't believe any of this."

The exported chats were a goldmine of illegal deals. There were more than forty group chats, each one focused on something different. Most groups had thirty or forty people, and there were even more private messages, way too many to count. Every conversation was a new clue.

"But I'm not seeing anything about clones," Juna said after searching for a while.

That was the thing they needed most. They were desperate to find out who had been replaced, and whether any clones were still hiding out in the country.

"Nothing about clones?" Lydia asked, frowning.

"Nothing. I've checked everywhere."

Lydia paused, thinking hard. "Don't panic. Is there anything in other apps? Maybe some videos or photos."

Juna nodded and dug deeper, opening folders and apps one by one. Suddenly, her face lit up.

I found it! she shouted, almost too excited to speak.

There was a whole separate app for the cloning project. Every clone had its own barcode, and the app listed all the people who'd been replaced, with detailed profiles and

backgrounds. The originals had all been shipped overseas, to an island in Country D. That place had to be their main base.

The more Juna read, the more overwhelmed she got, and her eyes filled with tears.

"Lydia, this is everything we needed!"

Lydia finally felt like she could breathe again. Perfect. This is it."

Juna hesitated for a second. "Do you think Lucinda saw any of this?"

Lydia shook her head. I don't know. She's had the phone for a while, but there's no way to tell what she's seen or not."

"We'll just have to wait and see," Lydia said quietly. "Tomorrow, I'll meet with Boris and the other departments. We'll make a plan and then take them down, all at once."

They'd been waiting for this moment, planning every move, and now it was time to act. They needed to move fast, strike hard, and finish it before anyone saw them coming.

On the other side of the world, Connor stood on the deck of a massive warship, dressed for battle, eyes sharp and focused. Behind him, the four alliance leaders waited, ready to back him up. Beyond them, two thousand mercenaries stood in perfect formation each one looking ready for anything, their presence radiating danger.

Their destination was Illusory Island, a mysterious, and dangerous place in Country H, known as Blood Oath's headquarters. The island was alwayscovered in thick fog, its landscape twisted and full of traps and hidden guards. Blood Oath had. turned it into the perfect hideout.

But Connor had come prepared. He'd gathered every scrap of information he could find, mapped out every detail, and was ready for whatever waited for them on that island.
