Although Alex started his campaign with confidence, James never underestimated his political rival.One seemingly ordinary day, James received a mysterious package at his office. The package had no sender's name, but it was neatly wrapped with meticulous attention to detail.

"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

Legacy of the Dark Chapter 57: The Trail of Concealment
That morning, Nate and his team left their base in Spain and began their journey to a small town in the country.

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, Emma, Elias, and Rachel sat in the cozy living room, surrounded by white-painted walls and simple wooden furniture. They had taken the opportunity to rest and plan their next steps. 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
