Chapter 517  Arrived In Longyearbyen (1)

"At that time, I was seriously injured and hospitalized for several months. Since then, I hid myself and took a year off from Fox activity. That's why, after my wounds healed, I returned to Island B..." A blooming smile crossed Scarlett's lips.

Xander slowly raised his hand to rub her cheek but remained silent, listening to her words.

Scarlett smiled at his sudden touch before continuing, "Well, even though that incident almost caused my death, I remember that it was because of that incident that I could meet you. If I hadn't had an accident, maybe I wouldn't have returned to Island B for a vacation, and we would never have met."

Xander couldn't hold back any longer. He pulled her into his arms. She was stunned, listening to how loudly Xander's heart was beating. She knew this man was holding back his anger.

After a while, they fell into silence, lost in their thoughts. However, something crosses her mind about Theodor. She silently took a deep breath before saying, "—Last night, I learned that Allaistar learned about me through Theodor. He used Theodor to locate me."

Xander let go of his hug.

He made Scarlett look at him. His eyes flickered with anger as he said, "Scarlett, let me catch Allaistar and punish him! I can't stand knowing this guy sent a group of assassins to kill you, and he almost succeeded. How can I sleep peacefully knowing a bad guy like him can still breathe free air?"

Scarlett was moved to hear Xander's seriousness in seeking revenge for her. She felt so grateful for that. However, she couldn't let him do it. She was worried that if Allaistar detained her mother, her mother would be in danger. Her plan,

She wanted Allaistar, not realizing that she already suspected him. Her current priority is to locate her mother before confronting Allaistar, and she was convinced her mother was in Longyearbyen, Svalbard.

If all goes well, she will find her mother in no time.

"Xander, please refrain from taking any action against Allaistar. I still need him... This man might have detained Mom. If he did so and knew we were suspicious of him, he could have instructed his people to harm Mom, right?" Scarlett said. She felt afraid, thinking about the worst-case scenario that now crossed her mind. She didn't want to share what she thought now, fearing that her words might become a reality.

Xander gazed ahead, tightly pressing his lips, refusing to speak further. He no longer pressed her; he would go along with her plan. Nevertheless, he began to make a plan to exact vengeance on Allaistar Parker. He didn't care if Allaistar was Theodor's father. He will take revenge for what he has done to his wife.

After a while, they fell into silence, lost in their thoughts, but Xander suddenly remembered something.

"When are you leaving for Svalbard?" he asked.

"Tomorrow after breakfast. Rex has prepared everything, from the plane to where we will stay. Xander..." she paused as she stared at his eyes before continuing, "I want you to come with me..." "Sure, I will. But..." Xander glanced at the watch on the nightstand. "Baby, we should get some sleep now. You need to rest. You'll be short on rest when we get there, right?"

"Hmm," Scarlett agreed with Xander. Tomorrow, she had a lot to do. To find traces of Allaistar and her mother, she needed to assemble a server machine owned by MT Group. This would allow them to utilize satellites to locate her mother on the island.

She could already imagine that the process would be exhausting. Besides tracking her mother with technology, she also intended to assist their field agent because they were bringing only a few people to the island, fearing they would attract Allaistar's associates.

The next day.

Scarlett's group arrived at Svalbard Airport. Even in summer, temperatures could rise above freezing during the day. Scarlett had also learned from the internet that there might still be patches of snow or ice in certain areas, especially at higher elevations and in more shaded regions.

For someone who disliked cold air, Scarlett wasn't initially fond of the island. What's more, on this island, she didn't see any trees at all.

However, when she arrived at their cabin, she couldn't help but praise Rex for quickly preparing such a beautiful place.

"This is beautiful..." Scarlett was amazed by the view of the calm blue sea and beautiful blue sky. She could even see mountains in the distance covered in snow.

Looking at how beautiful the scenery was and also the peaceful of this place, she completely forgot about the cold she had felt earlier. She stood on the veranda for a few minutes to enjoy the scenery before entering the cabin. She was even more surprised when she entered the cabin because the house looked modern and clean. With a huge glass window offering a direct view of the vast blue sea.

The cabin only had three bedrooms. Scarlett and Xander will use the main bedroom. The second room would be for Rex. The last room would serve as their computer room, their primary control center. While seven and the others used another cabin located right next to theirs.

Scarlett wasted no time. She started assembling the machine and other high-tech computers to connect to the satellite. He needed Max's help to trace the people they suspected, and only after the machine was completed would she connect to God Eyes and Max's system.

She has to set up the control room alone because Rex and the others must start looking for traces in the town. In the cabin, only Xander accompanies her. She spent many hours trying to finish it and barely completed it just before dinnertime.

"Baby, go eat first," Xander said as he stood in front of the computer room. He was concerned that she had skipped lunch only to eat a few slices of apples.
