NovelEnglishChapter 532 Felicia was flabbergasted. She could never have imagined that Kayla, in her attempt to connect with her family, would ultimately lose her life-and at the hands of the Carrell family no less! By blood relations, Pete was her distant cousin! Felicia wanted to observe further, but the distance was too great. And the thin layer of fog floating within the canyon obscured her view. Now that Kayla had fallen, her fate was uncertain.
During this brief pause, Stephan's men had already secured three ropes, clearly preparing to descend into the canyon.
Just as Felicia reached for another rope, Stephan held her hand, stopping her. "Stay up here. Don't move. I'll grab what we need and cback. Wait for Grab what? Before Felicia could even voice out the question in her mind, Stephan released her hand and plunged downward like a shooting star. In mere seconds, he vanished from her sight! Felicia was startled, then furious. Was he trying to lose his hands permanently? Despite having his hands badly wounded, he still descended at such a crazy speed!

He seemed to sense Felicia watching and tilted his head upward and gestured to her to calm down. It was as if he were patting her head from afar.
She rolled her eyes in exasperation. Gripping the rope in front of her, she felt an urge to follow him down. She was never one to simply wait as told. But before she could act, a group of Stephan's men surrounded her and blocked her way.
"Ma'am, Mr. Russell has already gone down with a team. Please don't go. It's too dangerous!" Felicia considered her own abilities and reluctantly restrained herself. She sat on the cliff edge above the canyon, occasionally using her binoculars to check for any movement below.
Unfortunately, the fog was growing thicker, and visibility becincreasingly poor.
Frowning, she strained to hear any sounds. Without looking away, she asked the men beside her, "Have you located Stanley and his group? They should be nearby. Find a way to get them to regroup with us." "Yes, ma'am" The men nodded and followed her orders.
The Russell family had a unique communication system. Depending on the location and situation, the codes and signals would vary. In this case, they used a bird call produced by a whistle.

He said they found explosives on the cliff across from us. There are quite a lot of them. If they blow up, the canyon will collapse. He warned us not to go down there." But the warning ctoo late! Stephan had already led a team into the canyon!
Felicia's expression changed.
Without hesitation, she ordered, "You side/see go to the other side. See if you can remove the more dangerous explosives. I'll go warn them!" "Ma'am, it's too dangerous. You can't..."
