Chapter 986 - 671: Loulanel Village [07] Camping Check-in, Stella Durant’s Rage [Part 2]

Nora Scott mentioned going camping casually.

However, as a woman of action, April Thomason snapped her fingers and said "sure," immediately starting to get ready.

She rummaged through the trunk.

"..."

Nora buried her face in her knees.

Oh my God.

...

Fortunately, even though Nora wasn’t in great spirits, April managed all the tasks by herself, so Nora didn’t have to do anything. As a lazybones who enjoyed being catered to, Nora only needed to enjoy the end result.

Half an hour later, April laid out a cloth next to the SUV — made from a travel sleeping bag. Then, she placed a bunch of snacks and fruits on it, making it look quite organized.

Nora thought that it looked "organized" because she had brought a bunch of snacks and fruits.

"Come on."

April waved at Nora.

Nora walked over.

"Do you know how to use this?" April took out a selfie stick.

"Yeah."

April was enthusiastic, "Let’s take a picture."

"..."

That morning, the long-disappeared Zero posted a photo on Weibo.

It was a camping photo with friends, and because the sun was strong, they all had their faces covered with hats, showing only their eyes. The ground was covered by a colorful cloth and various snacks and fruits. As for the background, it was intriguing — an endless expanse of desert wasteland.

Netizens:

[The photo is clear? My youth is over.]

[Looking at the post’s signature, God Z changed her phone to the latest model with stabilization. It’s like advertising.]

[Where is this? Such a desolate place, it feels more like a survival trip than a vacation.]

[Back from the dead? Check out the update on "Base No. 9".]

...

Meanwhile.

Elsewhere.

Stella Durant found a signal nearly ten kilometers from Maze Village, and as soon as she connected with the outside world, she saw Nora and April’s camping post on Weibo, almost spitting blood in anger.

"Where’s Luna Durant?" Stella was furious.

"Still can’t reach her. We’ve sent people to look in Maze Village."

"Our people found Nora and April on the road, but they got into a car accident. They’re not in life-threatening danger, but we lost track of Nora and April."

"Many of our people cannot be reached, not sure if it’s a signal issue or something else."

...

More and more bad news came in succession.

"Damn it."

Stella punched the car door.

Inexplicably irritated.

Taking a deep breath, Stella forced herself to calm down and turned her head to ask, "How are things at home?"

The person who just finished relaying messages came back and replied, "The boss said everything is normal, no need to worry."

"And what about Clement Winter?" Stella furrowed her brow.

"No real threat. He’s waiting to announce his renunciation of inheritance rights at the recognition ceremony."

With this, Stella felt relieved.

She was quite afraid of Clement Winter colluding with Nora Scott to pull off some schemes.

However, Clement was just naïve and timid. As soon as Evelyn Winter got involved, Clement would become weak, easily manipulated, and wouldn’t risk endangering Evelyn to team up with Nora for any tricks.

Stella asked again, "What about our informants?"

The so-called informants were members of Biel Hall they had "bought".

They got a list from Biel Hall, checked each one privately, and then turned a few in Anchel. If Nora Scott had any movements in Anchel or made any commands through Biel Hall, they would know in time and report back to the Durant Family.

There is no heart in this world that money can’t buy.

"They recently reported once, saying there was no activity. The last order Nora gave before leaving Anchel was to track down Alexander Vaughn’s whereabouts."

"Impossible." Stella furrowed her brows. "Nora has someone named Rosie Sullivan by her side, an ace from Biel Hall. Nora didn’t bring Rosie with her this time, so wasn’t there a secret task she sent Rosie on?"

"According to their report, Rosie has been staying in Anchel without any movement."

"..."

Stella pondered.

After a moment, she asked again, "What about April Thomason, have you investigated?"

Since discovering April and Nora getting closer, Stella became suspicious of April and had her background checked. If April had no previous connection with Nora, they could at least get some past info to help them get closer to April.

But it’s been days without any feedback.

This time, there was finally a response, but it wasn’t good, "April... we couldn’t find any information at all."

"What do you mean?" Stella couldn’t comprehend.

"All classified."

"You should at least know where she’s from, right?" Stella snapped.

"Well..." The person was momentarily awkward, then lowered their head. "Couldn’t find that either."

Stella was driven a bit crazy by such a response, "Didn’t she register at the hotel?! Can’t you retrieve her ID information?!"

"No. She and Mr. Oliveira are exempt from registration." The person lowered their head even more.

Useless!

Stella, unable to contain her frustration, kicked the person.

She quickly opened the car door, got in, and commanded, "Return to Maze Village!"

She didn’t believe it!

While April and Nora weren’t there, she could go through their personal belongings and not find anything?!
