Chapter 67: Hostage Situation Chapter 67: Hostage Situation Meanwhile, on the road, Ikenna finally eased onto the narrow, winding street.

His sharp eyes took in the surroundings dense bushes lined both sides, with only a single house standing in the middle.

His instincts screamed that this place was dangerous.

Why would Nurse Courage be here?

He pulled up a short distance away carefully maneuvering to avoid drawing attention.

Squad Three quickly took cover in the bushes, blending into the shadows.

Just as they stepped out of the car, a faint sound reached Ikenna’s ears, a gunshot, but silenced.

It was barely audible, followed by the soft, broken sobs of someone inside.

Most people wouldn’t have noticed it.

But years of training had sharpened his senses.

He recognized the sound instantly.

Danger.

Ikenna’s body tensed, his eyes darkening.

He turned to the girl beside him and spoke in a low, urgent tone “Get back in the car.

Now.

Stay down.” She hesitated, confused by his sudden change in demeanor.

But one look at his face hardened like stone, eyes cold and calculating told her he wasn’t playing around.

Without another word, she slipped back into the car, crouching low just as he instructed.

Ikenna’s fingers tightened around his weapon.

This mission he didn’t know existed just got a whole lot more dangerous.

Ikenna signaled with his right hand, a swift, precise motion.

Immediately, several armed men emerged from the shadows, Squad Three moving into formation with Nathaniel, their leader at the front.

“What’s the situation, Director?” Nathaniel asked in a hushed tone.

Ikenna’s expression remained cold and unreadable.
