Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1366

After the meal, Andrew didn't linger. He immediately took Teresa and departed from Cloudrest Peak. Though saying goodbye was difficult, Teresa left decisively, knowing it was the safest option and ensuring she wouldn't be a burden to the children. The toddlers, completely full and happy, were taken out to the garden by Jada to burn off some energy. In a few days, a professional nanny team would arrive to help ease Jada's workload.

James wasted no time in assembling all the members of the Dragonscale Special Forces team. Even Will, whose injuries had not fully healed, hobbled into the conference room wrapped in bandages, supported by a teammate.

Emmy was also present for the briefing. This was not an official classified military operation. It was a crusade James himself was spearheading, and every man in the room was retired from active duty. So, she sat quietly by his side, absorbing every word.

For the entire afternoon, James laid out the terrifying scope of the conspiracy and the sheer gravity of the situation without holding anything back. His voice was as cold as glacial ice. "Although I am the one who initiated this operation, the implications are massive. This involves illegal genetic modification and human experimentation. The military and the UN have given us explicit confirmation that they will provide full tactical and intelligence support. But a cornered dog will lash out, let alone a syndicate of animals who have completely lost their humanity. Therefore, we need an airtight, flawlessly executed plan."

It wasn't until dusk that James received an encrypted message from his military contacts. The mastermind acting as the umbrella for the terrorists had been identified as a high-ranking military official. He had been secretly arrested and taken into custody.

A roar of triumph erupted in the conference room. Brett enthusiastically slammed his fist on the table. "Hell yes! We finally dragged the bastard out!"

However, staring at the message, James's brow didn't smooth out. Instead, his scowl deepened. How could a protector of that echelon be exposed so easily? Unless he was just a discarded pawn. A sacrificial lamb tossed out to quell public outrage and give the UN an illusion of closure.

James locked his screen and swept his cold gaze over the men in the room, his voice dropping into a dangerous register. "Do not celebrate just yet. This is nowhere near over. From this moment on, everyone remains on high alert. No one leaves the premises unless absolutely necessary."
