The enemies hidden in the dark were going to make their move too. There would be an election after Christmas.
So, Zacharias planned to get rid of speople then. Those people were also trying to eliminate Zacharias and instate one of their supporters in the position of vice president. A quiet war had drawn its curtains. The people were oblivious to the raging undercurrents.
“The plan for Zacharias’ trip to Easternia is underway. We'll make our move there. It's a remote island, and no media’s going to be alerted. All we have to do is kill Zacharias and his men and make the seabed cave-in. We'll then tell everyone that it was a natural disaster, and Zacharias will cease from being a thorn in our side.” “Sounds perfect. Execute it well, and we'll have nothing to worry about anymore.” “We cannot fail this time, or we'll never know peace.” Shirley and her family arrived at the airport that afternoon. After she handed her luggage to Richard's underling, she sat with Ava. Ava was delighted to make this trip, whereas Angela kept checking on Shirley and saw her staring out the window. It was as if she was reluctant to leave. She truly felt for her daughter. It was difficult for anyone to stay away from their lover when they were in the honeymoon phase.

The motorcade cto the port. Freddie and Roy followed Zacharias closely. Apart from Zacharias’ eight bodyguards, the Minister of Security and his men would be tagging along as well.
After Zacharias boarded the ship, someone in a car hidden nearby pulled the telescope away, and they texted, ‘Zacharias has boarded the ship.
The person who received the text made a call. They said, “Target has set sail. Get ready.” Zacharias was in his waiting room on the ship. Freddie x} working, but his heart wasn’t in it. He closed his laptop and looked at his composed boss. Yet, he couldn®8top the increasing anxiety welling up in his heart.
The Minister of Security cin holding a laptop. His underling was typing away. It seemed that they had managed to intercept a few phone signals.
“Sir, they're starting to communicate, and we've intercepted all the messages.” “Keep that as evidence,” instructed Zacharias.
“We've apprehended all the spies they installed among us. The island is now under our control. We'll be able to lure them onto the island and capture all of them by 10.00PM at the latest. We'll have enough evidence and witnesses by then. I'm certain that they will not escape court- martial.” Zacharias nodded. He was setting himself up as bait. Thus, he had already expected that several sharks would cout to play.
Richard had gone to the plane’s cabin. His phone was left on his seat. Shirley heard someone texting her father as he had only kept his phone on vibrate. She could check her father’s phone anytshe wanted, especially since the passcode was her birthday. So, she sneakily picked up the phone, trying to see who was texting her father.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen she noticed the chat history between her father and Zacharias, she was momentarily stunned. Then, she didn’t hesitate to scroll through the conversation. They were all simple texts.
‘Be careful! That was what Richard texted Zacharias earlier that morning.
‘Don’t worry, Richard. Everything is under control. That was from Zacharias.
‘Tellif anything happens.’ That was from Richard.
‘Understood.
The texts would seem nonsensical to outsiders. However, Shirley's heart sank as she understood the implications. She knew right then why her father was taking them back to the base in such a hurry. He didn’t have anything urgent to settle at all. Instead, Zacharias was going through sdangerous operation. That was why her father had to take her into hiding. What kind of operation is it this time? Shirley was reminded of the assassination attempt that had occurred last time. This had to have something to do with that. Who is Zacharias fighting?
