Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1767: Once a Marine, always a Marine.

Atlas and Zoren made their way to the rooftop of the building with grim expressions. They had already heard about what happened during the chase and how the targets got away. But now wasn’t the time to dwell on that.

It wasn’t the time to place blame.

That could wait — going after her couldn’t.

As they reached the rooftop entrance where a helipad waited, armed men were already in position. One of them, a member of the Phantom Circle, stepped forward to approach Zoren and Atlas.

"Sir, we’ve got the tracker’s location now!" he shouted over the roar of the helicopter’s rotors. He held up a small device that resembled a rugged laptop, displaying a geographic map with a blinking light.

"They’re here," he said, pointing at the signal. "We’ve already coordinated with your pilots, and the captain has deployed teams to all possible escape routes."

Despite the update, neither Zoren nor Atlas slowed their pace toward the chopper. When they neared it, Zoren paused and turned to the man.

"Send this to the head of Homeland Security," he ordered. "They’ve been assisting."

"Already did, sir!" the man replied, stepping back as Zoren and Atlas boarded the helicopter.

However, unlike the teams that had been deployed to the marked location, these two were heading elsewhere. Their goal was still to save Penny, but their approach required a different path.

As they settled into their seats, a few of their men followed them aboard for added protection. Without delay, the helicopter lifted off the rooftop.

At the same time, William — having heard of the disturbance within the company — forced his way up to the rooftop. As soon as he arrived, he saw the helicopter disappearing into the sky and armed guards remaining behind.

"What are you—?" he began, but his breath hitched. Before he could finish, countless rifles were pointed at him.

He raised his arms instinctively. "Please don’t shoot! I’m just here because I was told there was a disturbance in the company!"
