Chapter 533
The Russell family’s subordinates who were left on the cliff were utterly stunned by what they had just witnessed.
It was just insane and absolutely reckless!
But there was no time to dwell on the matter. The explosives on the opposite cliff had to be dealt with immediately. Stanley’s team didn’t have enough manpower, and reinforcements were necessary.
“Let’s move! Clear the explosives!”
Using the ropes, Stephan’s men swing over to the opposite cliff. After meeting up with Stanley and his group, they were greeted by the sight of several bombs, their indicator lights blinding ominously.
These weren’t ordinary bombs. They were remote–controlled!
This meant that whoever planted them could, from within a certain range, press a button and bring the entire cliff down. The falling rocks would bury everyone in the canyon below.
Who would do such a thing?
Stanley was already working on disarming the first bomb. His hands moved steadily, with precision and caution.
Even when under such high pressure and requiring complete focus, Stanley still managed to greet the reinforcements casually, “Oh, you’re here? How’s Mr. Russell? And the madam? Are they olcay?”
“…They’re fine,” one of the men replied, though their eyes twitched at Stanley’s nonchalance. He reminded Stanley, “Stanley, can you please stop talking and focus on the bomb? This is serious!”
“Oh, right.” Stanley grinned, his expression suggesting that he would totally do something like this again next time.
Of course, they had long since gotten used to h

to his demeanor and knew his competence. Otherwise, they would’ve bolted as far away as possible from this
Once the teams regrouped, they shared information.
When Stanley learned that both Stephan and Felicia were in the canyon below, his brows furrowed tightly, and his hands moved even faster. He stopped joking entirely, his focus razor–sharp
Without looking up, he instructed, “Leave this to me. You all follow the tracks and search the surrounding area. See if the person who planted the bombs is still nearby. Kill them if you can and get the detonator!”
“Got it!”
With the tasks divided, half the group stayed behind to disarm the bombs while the other half spread out to search the area and eliminate the source of
the threat
Finally, Stanley successfully disarmed the first bomb. But instead of feeling relieved, he examined the device in his hand and fell into deep thought, his brows furrowing even tighter.
Something wasn’t right. The bomb’s model… looked eerily familiar, like a batch that the Russell family had disposed of some time ago.
If that was true, it meant there might be a mole within the Russell family. Who could have planted these explosives? And who was the other party’s target?
The more Stanley thought about it, the more alarmed he became–especially considering that Stephan was currently in the canyon below.
If the mastermind’s target was indeed Stephan, the detonation would cause half the cliff to collapse, leaving no survivors below
“Damn it!” Stanley’s expression darkened, and he shouted at the others, “Hurry up and disarm them!”
Amidst the rustling rainforest, o people were beside the stream beneath the waterfall.
Johanna’s eyes were brimming with tears as she clung tightly to the person before her. Her nails dug into his back, breaking skin, while the sky above her seemed to sway violently.
Only after a long moment did their heavy breathing subside.
“Johanna… I missed you. I missed you so much the man murmured into her ear, his hoarse voice filled with satisfaction and yearing
