The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1699

In the Special Unit, a simple word—"Spirit"—was all it took for an emergency summoning.

Within moments, replies came streaming in.

"Boss, you're finally here! Do you know how sick I am of these restaurants? Sure, their food is delicious, but three of the same meals a day, every day? I'm used to spicy food! I'm gonna puke!"

Wynter had always said that they needed to adapt to the local environment, cultural customs, and dining habits no matter where they went. The closer they aligned themselves, the better they could blend in and remain unnoticed.

Another member chimed in, "At least you have food to eat. Stop whining."

That single line was enough to silence him. After all, something others thought was too expensive was very affordable to others, creating a stark contrast.

Dalton informed Wynter that he would visit the Yarwood family's old acquaintances before walking toward a Rolls Royce Cullinan.

Wynter didn't find this unusual. She very quickly turned her focus back to her Special Unit members to get an update on the situation.

"We've kept a close eye on the hospitals as you've instructed. There's nothing out of the ordinary there, but recently, there's been an exhibition and a large event coming up related to some discussions regarding the Arcane Way.

"It's getting close, and people from various countries have been arriving. This time, there are a lot of foreign soldiers—all top-tier elites. We haven't been keeping an eye on them too closely to avoid causing any diplomatic issues."

Wynter's eyes narrowed slightly. If the pandemic really was about to happen, the enemies hidden in Cascadia would likely start to make their move—this was the only opportunity they'd have to openly make contact.

But from their reactions, it was clear they didn't know that Lupius had gone missing. So, she didn't hide anything from them and explained the current situation.

There was a brief pause before they responded.

"Does that mean the pandemic might actually happen?" one of them asked.

Otherwise, Lupius wouldn't have disappeared.

As she cautiously peered into the dark passage, she saw many animals caged, but what truly horrified her were the figures in hospital gowns—human shapes, trapped in the same cages. Her blood ran cold as she realized she had stumbled into a twisted experiment.

Two foreign surgeons were engaged in conversation in broken Cascadian while dissecting a monkey's stomach. "Once this is done, the whole of Cascadia will change!"

The other surgeon replied, "Yes, this will show those foolish Cascadians just how powerful we are."

Startled, Caroline accidentally knocked something over, making a noise.

One of the surgeons reacted instantly, his gaze shifting toward her direction. "Caroline, what are you doing here?"

He began walking toward her. Terrified, Caroline turned and ran, losing a shoe in the process. She burst out of the hidden passage and shouted for help, "Someone is doing live—"

But before she could finish her sentence, the man grabbed her from behind, covered her mouth, and began dragging her back into the passage.
