Chapter 523  Over-smartness

In Country E,

As soon as Anya deboarded the flight with Jackson Hall, she heard her earbud beep. Understanding Dot had managed to take Team Ace's help and contact the Narnia spies in the country, she patiently waited for him to speak.

[Officer, other than the man at the arrival gate holding the name sign, looks suspicious.] Dot began reporting to her, [I have attached the GPS to the car. As per initial inspection, I wasn't able to spot any firearm.]

Dot paused when he witnessed sleepyhead Jackson slip his steps on the stairs and Anya caught him smoothly before she pretended to be a weak little girl as if she strained her hands.

Anyway, he continued to update her about Miles, [As per the information, Miles Johnson was spotted at the airport. Although his aircraft destination isn't updated, his private jet is heading to country E.]

The temperature was a lot better as southern country E doesn't have snowfall. She looked at the sun setting on the horizon of the sky. The sunset was breathtaking, easing up her alert body and mind for a moment.

Anya lifted her head to the soothing sun rays and faintly hummed in response to Dot while walking next to Jackson Hall. The latter was stunned looking at her petite face glow under the evening sun.

Jackson was itching to brush her hair away that was covering half of her face. Something felt different about her from the time she caught a cold. But he wasn't sure what it was. Because they weren't sitting together on both flights and spoke a little in the airports.

His groggy whisper had a hint of softness and curiosity when he lowered to reach her height, "Watch out, Emma."

Anya almost behaved like an obedient girl before getting into her role. She glanced at him and pointed at the sky for him. She had missed the sunny sky after snowfall started in Narnia

Jackson barely glanced at the horizon and watched Anya who was looking around.

Other than Jackson's eyes, Anya felt an intense gaze. Pretending to check out the new place, Anya looked up at the five-story building. She could spot nobody as the glass wall was reflecting the sunset.

She shouldn't have had a strong reaction to anything so she entered the building. Since Emma and Jackson had to abruptly leave Narnia, they had no luggage to collect.

Both followed the crowd as they checked the exit direction sign boards. Anya felt her nose stuffed as she didn't take the cold medicine to avoid being drowsy. Thus her nasal voice became a cover however, she didn't drop her guard down as Jackson seemed to be very attentive to her.

Jackson pointed at the man who was holding their names board. "Emma…" Anya stayed docile with a hit of fear and let Jackson speak with the man and she followed them to sit in the car that left the airport.

On the third floor,

Alvin had a hard time identifying his wife when the GPS location was showing she was right at the airport. He guessed the girl when the GPS tracker was tracking the girl who was hiding her face with her hair, behaving timidly.

With a look of distaste at the hairstyle, he watched her relax looking at the sky that was painted reddish-orange whereas the young man was more interested in her.

Alvin: "..."

Moving to the other end of the floor, he watched Anya and another man purposely bump into each other. Although he couldn't see from his point of view, he could guess Anya received something from that man.

Watching Anya get in the car that drove away, and another car following them closely, It took all his self-control to stop himself from following Anya immediately as it might disrupt her mission.

A glimpse of him or an inkling of his presence in the country was enough to worry her. So he stayed low profile and inconspicuous to wait for Miles Johnson.

Since they were fabricating their arrival as business, Rob completed the inspection of the artifacts they brought with them.

"Boss!" The two men greeted Alvin who was staring outside in utter silence.

One showed his iPad to Alvin which had the details of air traffic, "Miles Johnson aircraft requesting for landing. They will arrive in half an hour." He reported in a crisp voice. All they knew was Miles killed two of their guards and risked many archaeologists' lives.

Following Miles wasn't safe for Anya. So he wasn't going to follow them but keep watch on Miles' location and the men around.

He looked at the tablet Anya gave him. She was heading out of the city. As soon as Anya's location stabilizes, he will have to take action without alerting Miles's men.

In the car, Jackson inquired about where they were going. Anya pretended to be clueless as she sniffled repeatedly to show she had caught a cold.

She was expecting to be shifted to either a hotel or some warehouse but she heard the driver mention an area name, "Sir, I have been instructed to take you and Miss to Garnet township."

Jackson had checked in at the airport and they hadn't received any itinerary or other details through email. So he frowned after hearing the driver say the residential area instead of the company or nearby hotel to the company.

He clutched his mobile as he couldn't search the area. They didn't have the country F currency to get off the taxi and head to the company. So he uneasily asked, "Please take us to the Globex Corporation."

Anya commended the young man in her mind while Dot updated her, [It's an abandoned residential area located out of the city.]

The driver clutched the steering wheel and glanced at the rearview mirror. He stayed calm without noticing Anya, "Sir, I have to do as instructed. I can't change the route without instruction from my travel company."

Jackson wanted to argue but didn't know where to go or what to do. It would be unsafe for Emma too. However, he wanted to meet the company officials first to confirm everything.

He glanced at Anya who was looking at him cluelessly, and breathing through her mouth due to a stuffy nose. He didn't want to tell her about his suspicions so he quickly typed some text on his mobile and showed it to her.

[Don't ask anything. Act as if you can't breathe.]

Anya: "..."

Anya realized Jackson was suspicious. He wants the driver to take them to the city hospital. But causing a ruckus will cause them more harm than useful.

Jackson typed more, [Please. Trust me] He didn't want to scare her but he didn't hide his actions or expressions.

The driver noticed the young man looking at the girl without uttering anything. His expression was changing and he was using his mobile and displaying it to the girl as if he was mute or she was deaf.

Finding his actions shady, the driver pulled the section divider and pressed a button on the dashboard.

Jackson freaked out when he saw white gas. "What the hell is this?" He pressed on the button to lower the windshield but it didn't work.

Anya clenched her teeth looking at the sleeping gas filling the section. She understood why smart people are still called dumb. She would have been in her senses if Jackson hadn't tried to be over-smart.
