Ch. 459: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 459
Chapter 459
"Then Norah is already here."
Journi discreetly pinched Calvin’s palm, forcing herself to stay composed.
Norah was still alive, and as long as she remained here, she was a threat.
Calvin shot her a cold glance. "I know what I’m doing. You don’t need to remind me again and again. Just go back and handle your own tasks."
"Yes."
Journi lowered her head and obeyed.
Meanwhile, Kevin was making detailed plans.
He couldn’t launch an attack in his own name. He had infiltrated the Yi tribe once before but had no choice but to leave Norah behind.
Even his attempts to contact Jace had gone unanswered.
When he called again, an automated voice responded: "The number you have dialed is currently switched off. Please try again later."
Reaching out to people at this critical moment wasn’t realistic.
Kevin immediately turned to Frank. "Track the exact location of this number."
Jace knew Norah was in the Yi tribe. There was no way he wouldn’t react to that.
Right now, Jace was like an ant on a hot pan.
It didn’t take long before Frank had an answer. "Captain Edwards, Jace is inside the Yi tribe. I found his location because I activated GPS tracking last night."
Kevin exhaled in relief. "If Jace sees Baimo, maybe he can take Norah’s place."
Now, Kevin had to find a way to contact Baimo.
At the same time, he needed Jace to cooperate from the inside.
But... Baimo’s phone wouldn’t go through.
His only option was to negotiate in person.
The situation caught Pharaoh’s attention.
He confronted Baimo. "What’s the meaning of this? Are you planning to betray your own people?"
Pharaoh had once envisioned Baimo leading the Yi tribe’s future, but Baimo had no interest in such things and had chosen to leave and become a teacher instead.
Now, he had returned—with someone else’s wife.
Even if Norah looked similar to the woman they had lost, Pharaoh couldn’t allow her to disrupt Baimo’s future or the stability of the Yi tribe.
"Why would I throw everything away? Haven’t you already found your daughter?" Baimo sneered, his words laced with mockery.
Pharaoh’s face was hidden behind a mask, but Baimo could sense his displeasure.
Pharaoh’s voice dropped. "How I handle my affairs is my concern. But you—send Norah away."
Baimo was momentarily stunned.
Outsiders who entered the Yi tribe were either enslaved or used as test subjects. Almost none ever made it out alive.
Steven and Karina had only survived because Norah found them first. And then Kevin had infiltrated the tribe, backed by a powerful team.
"I have to ask—why are you letting Norah leave?" Baimo eyed Pharaoh carefully.
Pharaoh stood firm. "Do I need a reason to spare someone? You risked your life for a moment of warmth."
Even if Norah had to die, she wouldn’t die in front of Baimo.
Baimo smirked. "Should I be grateful you didn’t kill her?"
Pharaoh had always been strict with him. As a child, Baimo rarely saw his father, who was consumed by his experiments. Their relationship was distant, and they hardly spoke.
But this was the first time Baimo had ever addressed Pharaoh with such defiance.
Pharaoh’s tone turned icy. "Are you willing to rebel against me for Norah’s sake?"
"I don’t interfere in your business, and I don’t need you interfering in mine. If you have time to lecture me, maybe you should focus on your most trusted subordinates."
Calvin. Elder Ke.
As Baimo turned to leave, Pharaoh’s voice cut through the air. "Do you even know that Kevin is looking for you?"
Baimo hesitated for a moment.
Of course, he knew Kevin was searching for him. But he hadn’t expected Kevin to go this far for Norah.
Pharaoh continued, "I don’t want a war with Craggaville. That would be a death sentence."
Craggaville wasn’t what it had been a century ago. Now, its soldiers acted as peacekeepers, respected across nations. That was why no one dared to harm them.
Baimo chuckled. "Since when do you avoid war and power?"
Pharaoh’s response was chilling. "I refuse to get tangled in the battles of global superpowers."
Only a strong nation could stand tall. Only then would foreign enemies dare not challenge them.
Baimo’s smirk deepened. "So, you pick on the weak and fear the strong? Look at what you and Calvin have turned the Yi tribe into."
He didn’t wait for a reply. He walked away, leaving Pharaoh in silence.
The Yi tribe was fractured, but its power remained. The law of the jungle still reigned supreme.
Still, Pharaoh knew it was time to reassess the situation.
After shaking off Pharaoh, Baimo retreated to a secluded area. He spent hours alone, thinking, until night fell. Then, he called Kevin.
Kevin saw an international number flash on his screen. His heart tightened. He didn’t hesitate to answer.
When Baimo’s voice came through, it was clear and direct. "You know exactly what I want. Unless I see Jace, there’s nothing to discuss."
"I already called Jace. He didn’t say anything, but I tracked his GPS—he’s inside the Yi tribe."
Baimo fell silent.
If Jace had made it to the Yi tribe, it meant he cared about Norah. But why hadn’t he gone to find her?
What was Jace thinking?
"I understand."
Baimo ended the call.
He motioned for the clown to approach him.
His voice was cold. "Keep an eye on Pharaoh and Calvin."
Jace was a key subject in their medical experiments. If he escaped, Kevin’s warning had just reminded them of the stakes.
And at night, anything was possible.
Meanwhile, Norah was already taking action.
The moment she shared her plan with the other slaves, they rallied behind her. They had been dragged here against their will, subjected to endless experiments and torment. Living was worse than dying. Freedom was their only hope.
Even if they failed, at least they would take the Yi tribe down with them. Or they would all die together.
One of the girls used a hidden radio to contact Norah, reporting that everyone was ready. Norah immediately set the plan into motion.
Tomorrow, the male and female slaves would rise up together and seize the weapons.
Tonight, she had one more task—she had to find a way to contact Kevin.
