Chapter 239 Taking Down An Underground Organization

Tilda nodded in satisfaction.

"What a blessing! I found such a perfect team so quickly!"

Time ticked by, bit by bit.

When the intel network was finally broken through, Jarrett and the others let out a sigh of relief.

Excited, they shouted, "Queen, mission complete!"

"Great."

Tilda handled the final steps. Her fingers flew across the keyboard like she was playing a piece of music. In just a few strokes, she packed up the data and sent it off to an account.

"This intel network you just cracked belongs to an underground group overseas that specializes in human trafficking."

"I’ve already sent the data to Interpol. With solid evidence and exact locations, they’ll be able to wipe them out in one go and rescue the innocent people who were taken.”

"What?!"

Jarrett and the others froze in shock.

“Queen, something this big… Why didn’t you tell us beforehand?"

"If I had, you all would’ve been nervous–afraid of making a mistake that couldn’t be fixed. The result is great, isn’t it? You guys gave it your all, broke through the intel network, and saved countless innocent lives."

We saved them…

Jarrett and the others glanced at each other. Their hearts pounded, blood boiling, sweat breaking out across their skin. Did they just use their own skills to bring down an underground organization and save countless innocent people? For the first time in their lives, a new feeling rose inside them–honor and pride.

"For centuries, courageous soldiers have charged into battle and returned triumphant. We may not be like them, fighting with weapons on the front lines. But our belief is the same. To protect our country, and to do everything we can to save those who are suffering."

"This is the age of information, and our honed skills are the greatest weapon. They can make enemies defenseless, allowing us to attack their core and gather intelligence! I’m proud to have met you all and to have this team. You’re strong. With teamwork, you just saved countless people, and you’ll save even more and protect our country in the future!"

Tilda didn’t hold back on praising Jarrett and the others. Listening to her words, Jarrett found himself moved to tears without even realizing it. The others’ eyes were red too.

“Queen, before we met you, we always wanted to do something for our country, but we never dared to touch things like this. We weren’t confident in our own skills. We were scared that one mistake could hurt many people. This was our first time, but I believe with you here, it won’t be the last! Queen, please keep leading us!” Jarrett spoke from his heart, his voice choked with sobs as he wiped his tears.

The others stared at Tilda with unwavering eyes, as if burning like the sun. They wanted to use their strength to save more people! To protect the country that raised them, and to get rid of the pests to make it a better place. It’s not that Interpol couldn’t handle these underground organizations without them. But because they stepped in, those pests were eliminated sooner rather than later. Even if it was just one day earlier, even just one hour sooner, more people would see a glimmer of hope and be saved from the dark abyss.

Tilda smiled. “Okay, it’s already nine o’clock. None of you had dinner, right? My treat.”

Only then did everyone realize how hungry they were. Their stomachs had been growling for a while. They rubbed the back of their heads, feeling a little embarrassed.

Leaving the base, less than a mile away was the bustling business district full of office towers. Setting up a base in a place like this was a little risky–too easy to get exposed. But putting it out in the suburbs had a huge drawback too–lousy internet, with constant lag and unstable connections. Here in the heart of Slosa’s busiest area, though, network delays and glitches were basically nonexistent.

The only thing that made Tilda a little uneasy was… The Jenson Group’s headquarters were in this same area.

Well, whatever. It’s not like I would be so unlucky as to just bump into one of the Jensons by chance.

Besides, it was already late.

Tilda found a five–star barbecue restaurant on her phone and took Jarrett and the others there. The group was still excited, talking quietly about the details of taking down the underground organization. Of course, they kept their voices low and left out the sensitive stuff. The last thing they wanted was someone overhearing, thinking they were criminals, and calling the cops on them. That would’ve been embarrassing. Even Zach got swept up in the mood and spoke a little more than usual. Jarrett and the others stared at him like they’d just discovered a whole new world.
