Katelyn’s fingers flew across the keyboard. She had attempted to capture the ultimate IP address multiple times without success. This time, she was determined to succeed. Her typing speed was quicker than ever.

Counting down silently, three, two, one! At the moment the site went down, Katelyn captured the elusive IP address.

Katelyn exhaled deeply and turned to Ashlyn. “I need to head out immediately. You must stay here; it’s not safe to go outside. Do you understand?”

The IP address she had just obtained was clearly located in Yata. That meant Sophia must also be in Yata! Given that they were in a hotel owned by Vincent, surrounded by his security, staying put was safer than venturing out.

Ashlyn expressed her worry, “You’re heading out to confront them now, aren’t you? I should come with you, or else I won’t be able to relax.” And they had both consumed a fair amount of wine earlier.

Katelyn, grabbing her computer, was already at the door. “If you come with me, it could slow me down.”

Ashlyn halted and raised her hand to gently touch the bridge of her nose. She acknowledged that her combat skills were not as polished as Katelyn’s. If she accompanied Katelyn, she might indeed be more of a hindrance than a help.

Katelyn had no time to ponder Ashlyn’s thoughts. She swiftly dialed Vincent’s number. Without any introduction, she said, “Sophia is in Yata. I need you with me…”

As she spoke, Katelyn was already stepping through the hotel door.

Left with no alternative, Ashlyn retreated inside the hotel. She realized she must recall her team immediately. If not, the consequences could be severe, just as Katelyn had warned.

Within three minutes, Katelyn and Vincent were seated in a car in the underground garage. Katelyn, in the passenger’s seat, continued to trace the target on her laptop.

Vincent, starting the engine, asked sharply, “Have you been drinking?”

Pausing briefly, Katelyn replied quietly, “Yes, head towards Eowacien, take the route via Butterfox Road, and hurry.”

Vincent gave Katelyn a long, searching look as he accelerated the car significantly.

Meanwhile, at a vacant fireworks factory in Eowacien…

Sophia was submerged in a tub filled with cold water. At that moment, one of her subordinates approached and said, “Boss, they’ve found us.”

Sophia’s expression hardened, a coldness creeping over her face as her eyes deepened with intensity. In a voice stripped of all emotion, she commanded, “Transfer now. Make arrangements for reception.” A fierce resolve burned in her gaze. Katelyn’s efficiency was undeniable. She tracked them down with impressive swiftness.

Without hesitation, Sophia pulled herself out of the massive vat, but the strain on her body sent waves of pain, making her limbs tremble. At that moment, her phone buzzed with an incoming message. Sophia’s eyes narrowed as she read the text from her superior. It simply read, “If she catches you, don’t bother coming back. End it yourself.”

Sophia stared at the message, her expression frozen. Her gaze was cold as she replied, “Got it.”

A quick response from the boss arrived, saying, “Keep that woman working as long as she’s still breathing. If she resists, put her to work entertaining the customers.”

Grabbing clothes from a nearby pile, Sophia swiftly dressed and, without hesitation, left while typing out her response. “Understood.”

At the same time, a woman was dragged out of a room, struggling helplessly. Her mouth was gagged, muffling any attempt at protest. Her body was coated in vile fluids. It was a clear sign of what had happened.
