Chapter 51: Two Sides of a Different Life
Amidst the hustle and tension that had enveloped their lives since fleeing London, Elias decided that they all needed a little entertainment. After a few days of hiding in their new headquarters in Spain, he approached Rachel with a rare smile on his face."How about we go watch a football match tonight?" Elias asked in a light tone. "We need some fresh air and—" he added with a small grin, "I know you've always been curious about the atmosphere in a Spanish stadium."Rachel, who was reading a book in the living room of their headquarters, looked up and stared at Elias. A small smile appeared on her lips. "I didn't know you were a football fan, Elias," she teased.Elias shrugged. "Maybe not a big fan, but this is Spain. Football here is a religion. And, more importantly, we need to let off some steam."Rachel thought for a moment. "Sounds good. Besides, we can blend in better in a crowd.""Exactly," Elias said with a nod. "We'll go this afternoon."***Meanwhile, Nate and Emma, who de

Under a star-filled night sky, the atmosphere was peaceful. The warm air and gentle breeze made the evening feel so comfortable, a stark contrast to the life they usually led."I think this is the first time in years that I can truly relax," Elias said, leaning back in his chair and gazing up at the sky. "I’ve almost forgotten what it feels like to live without constant pressure or threat."Rachel, sitting next to him, nodded in agreement. "Yes, moments like these are rare for us. Sometimes I wonder, will this ever end? Will we ever be able to live peacefully like other people?"Nate, who was pouring drinks for everyone, smiled faintly. "We chose a difficult path, but tonight, forget all that for a moment. Tonight, we just need to enjoy each other’s company."Emma, who usually appeared calm and focused, showed a rare smile. "I neve

Knowing that the organization is highly skilled in tracking and intelligence, they decided to choose a quieter, less conspicuous location to minimize the chance of being found.As they traveled to Ronda, the surroundings became more tranquil and rural.

Chapter 58: The Frustration
James Rolling sat in his spacious office at the campaign headquarters. The gloomy London sky was visible through the large window behind his desk. However, his mood was far from calm. The negative news about him kept flowing in, hitting his reputation and making him increasingly angry. He stared at the computer screen in front of him, which displayed various news articles, headlines defaming him, and harsh comments from the public. All of this news seemed to be orchestrated very deliberately, and James could not contain the seething anger inside him. Suddenly, the door to his office opened, and his assistant, Laura, entered with a serious expression. "James, there's an update," Laura said, handing over some documents. "We've done further analysis on the spread of these rumors, and it seems there’s a pattern indicating that this is not just a coincidence." James took the documents and began reading. "What do you mean by pattern?" he asked impatiently. Laura pointed to one of the

Morning in Ronda, the fresh mountain air flowed through the windows of El Refugio de Ronda inn.

Nate sat in one of the chairs with a cup of coffee in his hand. "This morning, we need to discuss our next move. We can't stay here forever, and we have to make sure we stay one step ahead of Eagle Eye." Emma, sitting next to Nate, nodded. "We've made good use of our time here. Ronda is a great place to hide for a while, but we can't keep hiding here without planning our next steps." Rachel, who was checking the notes and maps they brought, added, "We've gathered some clues from the old hideout, but Sylvia and her team are likely to arrive here soon. We have to make sure they don't find our trail." Elias, sitting cross-legged and deep in thought, said, "I agree. If they find us here, we could be in
