Chapter 1774Chapter 1774 Lismar Summit
Stanley was deep in thought.
At that moment, a bodyguard approached. “Mr. Thompson, this is the entire route that Sean took when
he left with Mrs. Thompson. According to the surveillance camera, Sean and his people have stopped
moving and seem to be waiting at a certain location, possibly for a transfer.”
“Stopped moving?” Shane grabbed the tablet from the bodyguard's hand and began to check the route
map.
Stanley was also beside him, checking the footage together. Seeing where Sean had currently
stopped, Stanley was struck dumb. “Oh, it's there.”
“Do you know where is it?” Shane immediately looked at him.
Stanley nodded. “Yes. Lismar Summit is a famous mountain in the country. A wildfire occurred there in
the past decade, almost completely destroying the mountain. As a result, the overall ecology of the
mountain hasn't recovered much. Moreover, the terrain of the mountain is so unique that even
helicopters might not be able to reach it. Therefore, it's impossible for Sean to make the transfer at
Lismar Summit.”
Upon hearing that, Shane immediately shifted his gaze to his bodyguard.
Upon catching his knowing glance, the bodyguard immediately started searching on the tablet. About two minutes later, the bodyguard looked at Stanley in surprise and said to Shane, “Mr.
Thompson, what Dr. Quinn said is true. The terrain of Lismar Summit is unique, making it difficult for
helicopters to reach. This is why it's hard to transport saplings for artificial restoration. And this is why
the recovery of the ecosystem on Lismar Summit has been so slow since the authorities could only let
nature take its course. Otherwise, it would have been almost restored by now.”
“In other words, Sean did not go there for a transfer. As for the actual reason, you'll have to find it out
yourself,” Stanley added while adjusting his glasses.
Shane slightly lowered his eyelids as if he was pondering something.
After a moment of contemplation, he spoke in a deep voice. “Sean is waiting for me. He has chosen
Lismar Summit as the battleground.” Stanley was taken aback by his words. “What? Are you saying
that Sean has no intention of escaping with Natalie, but instead, wants to have a fight to the death with
you on Lismar Summit?”
noveldramaShane nodded in response. “Isn't it obvious? From the moment he sent me the challenge letter, he
never intended to play a game of cat and mouse with me forever. Sooner or later, we'll need to have a
face-off. If he keeps appearing and disappearing, how can we have the duel?”
Stanley nodded. “That makes sense.”
“Secondly, Sean is not a fool. If he really wanted to elope with Natalie and avoid being caught by me,
he would have destroyed the surveillance cameras along the way before he showed up at the club so
that we would be able to track his escape route.”
“So what you're saying is, Sean deliberately revealed his whereabouts to lure you to Lismar Summit,intending to have a fight to the death with you there?” Stanley looked at him.
“That's right,” Shane responded with a hum.
“It seems there will be an ambush on Lismar Summit,” Stanley added.
Shane's face turned gloomy as he said, “If Sean hadn't kidnapped the person I care about, I definitely
wouldn't have gone. Sean knew that well. He knew I wouldn't walk into a trap just like that. That's why
he took Natalie away. Only in this way could he ensure that I would definitely go.”
Everyone knew that Natalie was his weak spot, so it was not surprising that Sean would take
advantage of that.
Even though Sean has already set up all kinds of traps and ambushes, Shane would still go for the
sake of Natalie.
“When do we set off?” Stanley asked directly, not inquiring about anything else.
Shane glanced at him. “Now.”
He was unwilling to delay rescuing the love of his life.
“It's fine to set off now, but I have a suggestion,” said Stanley, the light reflecting off his glasses as he
spoke.
Shane looked at him, waiting to hear what he would say next. Stanley narrowed his eyes. “Although we can't directly reach the top of Lismar Summit by helicopter,
we can still get to the foot of the mountain. You could send a vanguard team first to investigate whether
Sean has set up any ambushes on the way up the mountain. If there are any, the vanguard can
dismantle them. This way, when we arrive later, our path will be unobstructed. Wouldn't this speed up
our progress?”
