Chapter 2114: The Final Island
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Shouldn’t be the case,” Qiu Yuluo responded.
“If sothing had really happened to Lin Yi, the Freemasons wouldn’t have missed the chance to make a move. They would have publicly broadcasted the news by now. It’s been more than ten hours, and there’s been no word. That’s not possible if they had him.”
Both sides understood well that this was an unprecedented clash.
Since the conflict hadn’t escalated into a full-blown crisis, whoever suffered losses would have to endure it quietly.
If the Freemasons had truly captured Lin Yi, they wouldn’t care about his status as a team leader in the Central Guard Brigade.
To put it bluntly, they might have dismbered him without hesitation.
As Qiu Yuluo said, if Lin Yi had been captured, the news would have spread globally in a matter of hours.
“That’s exactly the problem. The mission is complete, but there’s been no news. What on earth is he up to?” Ning Che remarked.
“If we could figure out what he’s doing, he wouldn’t be Lin Yi,” Qiu Yuluo quipped.
“That guy is impossible to deal with,” Liu Hong muttered, puffing on his cigarette.
“I’ve given up trying,” Qiu Yuluo added.
“We should just wait for news. Lin Yi isn’t the kind of person to act recklessly. If the situation spirals out of control, he’ll contact us. No point overthinking it.”
Neither Liu Hong nor Ning Che said anything further. At this point, they truly had no options.
But one thing was certain—if Lin Yi was keeping such a low profile, he was likely planning sothing else.
And when it surfaced, it would undoubtedly shock everyone.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
At that mont, Qiu Yuluo’s phone rang. She glanced at the screen and saw it was an unfamiliar number. Without hesitation, she answered.
“Hello, this is Qi Xianzhao from Lingyun Group.”
Recognizing the voice, Qiu Yuluo instinctively switched the phone to speaker.
“President Qi, do you have news about Lin Yi?”
“Yes,” Qi Xianzhao confird.
“President Lin just called . He asked us to file a lawsuit against Samsung Group because of so inappropriate behavior from Lee Yongchul at the banquet towards President Ji.”
“Lin Yi contacted you?!”
Qiu Yuluo exclaid in surprise.
“Yes. He explained this matter and then hung up.”
Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che only had a general understanding of what had happened at the banquet.
It seed that Samsung’s Lee Yongchul had shown improper intentions toward Ji Qingyan, and Lin Yi had intervened, giving him a severe lesson.
Given Samsung’s global influence, it was certain they would pursue the matter.
Lin Yi’s decision to file a lawsuit was likely a move to preemptively strike and gain an upper hand. It wasn’t difficult to understand.
“Did Lin Yi say anything else?”
Qiu Yuluo’s expression eased, knowing that if Lin Yi could make a call, his situation was stable. There was no need to worry.
“Nothing else was said.” Qi Xianzhao said.
“But from his tone, he sounded relaxed, not like he was in any danger.”
“That’s good to hear,” Qiu Yuluo replied.
“If you get any more updates, be sure to let us know.”
“Will do.”
After hanging up, the trio in the car breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Their worry subsided sowhat, but Lin Yi’s intentions remained a mystery.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Barely a few minutes had passed before Liu Hong’s phone rang. Since he was driving, he switched the call to speaker without thinking.
“Boss, the Grande Orient building in Faguo is on fire.”
“What?!”
All three in the car froze in shock.
Due to the nature of their mission, they knew exactly what the Grande Orient building represented!
It was the headquarters of the Freemasons in Paree!
It carried the sa symbolic weight as the Freemason building in Lundun.
“I know what Lin Yi is doing!”
Ning Che slapped her thigh in realization. “Lin Yi isn’t just targeting the Freemason building in Lundun—he’s going after their other headquarters too!”
“I feel like that guy’s lost his mind,” Qiu Yuluo said with a half-joking smile.
“Chief Liu, are you regretting assigning him this task?” Ning Che asked with a sly grin.
“Regret? Not at all.” Liu Hong kept one hand on the steering wheel, a satisfied expression on his face.
“This is exactly the result I wanted. We’ve been working quietly for too long, and it’s given the world the false impression that we’re pushovers. This is the perfect opportunity to remind everyone that so places are off-limits, no matter who you are.”
“But we’re up against the Freemasons.”
“If it wasn’t the Freemasons, there wouldn’t be any point. Ha-ha…” Liu Hong laughed heartily.
“But we can’t just sit back and let him run around by himself. That’d be unfair. You guys need to prepare.”
“What do you an?”
“There are six major Freemason headquarters worldwide. Now that Lundun and Paree are in trouble, that leaves Toyo, Soul, Newyo, and Berghain,” Liu Hong explained.
“Compared to the others, Newyo will be more heavily guarded. He might need extra support, so prepare to head to Newyo.”
“Understood!”
…
Over the Pakcik”Nothing else was said.” Qi Xianzhao said: Ocean, at 33° North Latitude, lies Tilia Island.
Tilia Island is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and from a distance, a thick mist wraps around it.
A veil of clouds falls from the sky to cover it, adding to its mystique.
However, within this mysterious dinsion, Tilia Island is not the only place of note.
Famous landmarks like the Aiji pyramids, the Bayluga Triangle, and the remnants of Mayhen’s civilization also exist within this sa dinsion.
Even major rivers like the Yangtze, the Nile, the Euphrates, and the Mississippi have a presence here.
To this day, no one has been able to explain why such phenona occur.
But despite this, the coordinates of Tilia Island have never been ntioned by any organization or dia outlet.
To the general public, this vast world seems to lack any awareness of this island—almost as though it doesn’t exist.
But for the researchers on the island, or those who have lived here for years, they have co to call this place the Final Island.
It’s often said that behind science lies theology. Just as famous physicists like Newton and Einstein believed in the existence of a higher power in this world.
Whether it’s an unknown ideology or the mysterious interactions of quantum chanics, sothing explains the world’s unsolved mysteries, like the double-slit experint, which still defies explanation.
Scientists’ curiosity about Tilia Island is similar to their fascination with the ‘observer’ in these experints. Yet, to this day, they remain clueless.
And so, they have grown accustod to imbuing this island with an aura of mystique.
So believe that it might represent the final destination of humanity, or perhaps even the entire world.
Because Tilia Island could very well hold the key to the world’s greatest secrets.
