Chapter 2074

After the successful fundraiser, the anti–bandit alliance convoy continued its

journey toward Riverhaven. The trip passed uneventfully, and once the

supplies reached Riverhaven, they temporarily relieved the immediate crisis.

However, Mackenzie’s troubles were far from over.

“Ms. Quillen, there are still six days left until your ten–day deadline. How are

you planning to recover our missing supplies?”

“Yeah, maybe you should just reimburse us directly. Aren’t you loaded

anyway?”

A group of West End bigwigs crowded around Mackenzie, hands

outstretched, demanding answers.

executive persona and had Quintus quickly escort the troublemakers out of

her sight.

reported, “Ms. Quillen, I’ve got news from Anna. She said they’ve spotted

some suspicious clues and sent over photos and videos.”

“Let me see them!” Mackenzie had a hunch that the bandits wouldn’t have

anticipated the blockade, so they probably hadn’t covered their tracks

perfectly. Somewhere, they must’ve left a clue that would lead them to the

hidden cache.

“Ms. Quillen, these photos show tire tracks in the snow in front of the lake that

seem recent, though they’ve been partially buried by rocks and snowfall,” Lexi

explained. “But that’s the only spot with tracks; there are none in the

surrounding area! They suspect the supply trucks may have passed by the
