The manager gave a quick nod of approval as he said, "Exactly."Jenna's demeanor shifted as she sneered at his reaction and asked, "Exactly what? I paid for these goods a while ago, so why should the price increase now? Talk to me, I don't understand what you're trying to say." The manager maintained composure while looking directly at Jenna, leaning back in his chair. "Not that. You purchased these items during a promo period, but failed to pick them up on time. Now that the sales promo has ended, the prices have increased by 35 percent."Frustration and anger bubbled inside Jenna as she retorted, "That's impossible.

Observing Sydney's tense gaze, Jenna leaned in closer and gave her a disapproving look. Magnus let out a loud sigh and furrowed his brows in anger.

"Wait, your dad told you he wouldn't recognize me as your boyfriend because of Caspian?" He stuttered aloud, curiosity evident in her voice. Jenna cursed under her breath, showing no interest in Caspian. "I never planned to get into a relationship with him," she said firmly. "But his girlfriend has been threatening me, so it's not even an option." "Girlfriend...who is she?" Sydney asked, her interest piqued. "Sylvie Miles," Jenna replied quickly. "She's the daughter of Austin, the party leader of Allied Democrats." Magnus raised an eyebrow at the mention of Sylvie. "Sylvie? She was recently in an accident," he said, a sly grin appearing on his face as he mockingly imitated her.

Gasps and bubbles shattered the silence of the ocean as six Navy SEAL units advanced towards the islet via an inlet. Their gear for underwater exploration was top-notch, consisting of MK25 rebreathers, waterproof rucksacks, and compressed oxygen cylinders. When they arrived on land, they were faced with a rocky landscape that needed to be climbed to reach their objective. On a crucial assignment, the team known as Trident aimed to apprehend fugitives like Magnus and his allies. Because they were to save Jenna as well, Caspian joined the team unnoticed.However, as they got ready to climb, they discovered they were seven instead of six.
