Chapter 1697 Arriving in Colifernia
Wynter decided against sending a digital mail to avoid leaving any traces. Besides, no one would think twice about a letter addressed to Jackson.
Based on that, two things could be inferred Wynter doubted the authorities were entirely trustworthy, and the issue was far too grave to ignore.
Jackson stated, "From what I understand of 001, there's a 90 percent chance this is happening. 001 is heading to Colifernia as we speak. The Special Unit member's disappearance shouldn't only concern them we should be cautious as well.
"Geoffrey, check the customs entry again focus on Colifernia this time. There's got to be something there since the member disappeared in that city,"
Standing nearby, Geoffrey Lipton gave a formal salute and responded to Jackson's command.
As Jackson studied the map, he continued, "There must be another reason they chose Colifernia."
The others in the meeting shared the same growing concern about the impending pandemic.
A scientist spoke up. "The problem is, we don't know where the virus originated. In typical outbreaks, we'd see widespread medical reports. I've checked the records for Colifernia, but there's nothing unusual."
"Exactly. The virus could invade in many ways-humans, animals, and even the soil. Right now, we have no idea how it's spreading or evolving," another chimed in.
Hearing that, Jackson calmly instructed, "Send a squad to assist in secret. Also, reach out to Mt. Dragon and find Mr. Stavius as mentioned in 001's letter."
The room resounded with confirmation of his command. Jackson was determined to provide Wynter any support he could in Colifernia. The pandemic must be contained, or it would bring devastation to both Cascadia and its people.
In the face of life or death, everything else seemed insignificant. Jackson resolutely refused to stand by and watch families get torn apart.
Meanwhile, Wynter and Dalton arrived at Colifernia after a short nap on the plane.
As they collected their luggage, they noticed several employees from Yarwood Group waiting at the gate. It was such an imposing sight that, had they not known better, they would've thought a magnate was being welcomed. Wynter glanced at Dalton and teased, "What an impressive sight. As expected of Mr. Yarwood."This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Dressed in a sleek suit, Dalton seemed completely unruffled by the flight, carrying himself with an air of elegance and sophistication. As Wynter looked at him, she couldn't help but feel like a penniless youngster in comparison. Dalton naturally held her hand and replied, "It's not me who's impressive-it's you, my lady. Grandpa happened to be in Colifernia. When he heard you're coming, he practically mobilized the entire employees to welcome us." Catching Dalton's implication, the area manager quickly greeted, "Exactly. Mr. Yarwood Senior has sent us with a few questions, Mrs. Yarwood. What's your meal preference? Are there any places you'd like to visit in Colifernia? How about a candlelight dinner?
"Mr. Yarwood Senior mentioned that Boss isn't particularly experienced in such matters, so he thought it's best to personally handle the arrangements rather than leaving Boss to it."
The area manager continued, "Do any of the buildings here appeal to you? You can always purchase it for your stay -with Boss' credit card, of course. Don't worry about the money. He's supposed to cover all your expenses anyway.

Hearing that, both Wynter and Dalton turned to the area manager. The latter stood straight and cleared his throat, explaining, "That's what Mr. Yarwood Senior said."
Instead of inspecting the managers as usual, Dalton seemed to be in good spirits. With a slight tilt of his head and a faint smile, he exuded a different kind of charm.
