Fate's Dark Side Chapter 721

"They should move troops and rescue Brighton. Brighton will be our only safe passage to the South if war ensues between Yuri and us.

I doubt he plans to come to the North. He seems okay with the West, East, and South as his territories. Andrew did say it initially, only that he forgot to add the west to the number. The West was already taken with Sean on his side and Stepanovs taking over Western packs. We did not know it," Amelia said, and we all looked at Andrew, who was as white as a sheet. I had forgotten he was even with us because he did not speak a word.

"She is right," he said.

"I had wondered why they skipped Brighton all this while. I suspected it was because they were saving it for last so the King would not be alerted. If they had taken Brighton, it would affect Lady Stephanie, and King Sylvester would get into the matter. I believe they saved it for last when they would not care.

Amelia is right. If we plan on getting our troops to the South, we must pass through Brighton because it shares a border with Greenville. Moving our troops from the east to Greenville will be long and leave room for ambush because Greenville is in the southwest, and we will have to pass through the southeast to get there if we move from the East. With Brighton still ours, we can set up in Brighton and move to Greenville easily," Andrew said, and Erik laughed.

"The son of a bitch never planned to give Sean control of the West. He just used Sean to separate the West from the South. He knew Sean would get caught," Erik said, laughing.

"Amelia is right; we have to keep Brighton open for access to Greenville. The route through the east is long and unsafe.

If Brighton is taken, then the South is sealed off entirely regardless of the situation in the East," Tamia advised.

Though it was a difficult decision, I decided I would send help to Donald Brighton and his father.

"Very well, I will call Max and have him mobilise my men," I said, taking out my phone.

While I dialled Max, my heart was uneasy. Every second counted in a hostage situation. I wasn't ready to sacrifice Casper.

"Hello," Max answered immediately.

I told him everything we heard and what I wanted from him immediately. I had to rush through it so I did not change my mind.

"Are you sure about this, Leo?" he asked me, and I told him I was sure even though I wasn't, but I knew it was the best move.

"Okay, we will do it like this," He said, and I knew he could hear my uneasiness.

"Kyle would go with the troops to Brighton while I take two trackers and three warriors to continue the search for Casper," he said; as much as I did not want them to be divided, it was the only way that none of the mission would suffer.

It was the only way to set both of them rolling. I reluctantly agreed, and he promised to update me.

"Casper will be found, Leo," Devin said after I hung up.

He knew exactly how I felt. I wouldn't be so worried if Casper had been locked in a cell-like Lukman. I needed to know he was alright and safe,"

The ride back was silent.

We landed at the estate, and everyone moved quickly. There was no time.

Erik requested for his lab to be set up immediately. He wanted to get the AgK32 production ready. I understood his urgency because Yuri was moving the pieces quickly.

We all headed to the lounge to discuss what was going on extensively. While we moved, Theodore received a call, and the way he jubilated after receiving that call made us hopeful.

Theodore hung up and looked at Sylvester. We all stood waiting for him to speak.

"Bryce said his men have apprehended Ighor at the Airport. They are taking him to the secret warehouse for torture and interrogation. Anyone coming?" He asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

The joy that erupted was overwhelming.

Everyone was beaming.

Ighor might not be Yuri, but he was in the inner circle and might lead us to the bastard.
