Salute To The General

Nathan and the others headed back to the hotel.

It was already late at night, so they went back to their respective rooms to get some rest.

That night, Colin kept his guard up and his eyes peeled for Kerry to prevent her from sneaking in.

If she manages to steal the dagger from right under my nose, I'd be too ashamed to show my face ever again.

However, dawn came, yet Kerry was nowhere to be seen.

Colin stared out the window and gazed at the clear sky, feeling rather confused. Could it be that Kerry knew her chance of success would be slim to none, so she just gave up? Yeah... I guess that's possible. As that thought flashed into his mind, a smile spread across his lips.

At daybreak, he fell asleep despite still being a little wary.

Early in the morning, Colin was roused by the sound of his phone ringing. Glancing at his phone, he was surprised to see that it was a call from the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor.

He hurriedly answered the call.

The person on the other line was Sage.

It turned out that Sage had enlisted the help of all hackers in the country and got them to search for clues about the Ghost Ship in the past two days.

Their efforts paid off when a talented white-hat hacker from the military managed to hack into Ariarica's Pentacle Tower system. Just before he was discovered, he was able to find clues and the location of the Ghost Ship.
