Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 1237

I watched nervously as they went down. We could barely see anything below us. The sky was so dark it was nearly black.

As I lay there looking down, Atlas silently embraced me tightly.

"Are you sure my dad is here, Atlas?" I asked, feeling inexplicably tense. "Why can't we find him?"

After all, we had been searching for so long but hadn’t been able to find a precise location. Wasn't that strange?

"He must be here. But Navi is cunning. The more elusive he is, the more it shows that things aren’t simple. Your father must be hiding some secrets." Atlas's expression was solemn. "He rushed back here overnight, so this place must be important. And think about it: what’s the crucial point?"

"...It's my dad!" I answered.

"So he came back here because of him."

Atlas continued his analysis. "And what does it mean that Non-Organization people come here regularly? Someone here must be communicating with them. Navi rushed back overnight, which didn’t make sense, and people from the Non-Organization reached Trestlewood as well. All this proves that this place is extremely important!"

"Then why did you say there's not enough time? Are you worried that Navi will hand my dad over to the Non-Organization?" I asked.

"It’s not just that..."

Before Atlas could say anything else, his phone suddenly lit up in the darkness. We looked at the screen and saw a code. He abruptly sat up and answered. I heard the Cirencester language being spoken on the other end.

The dazzling screen light shone on his face, making his angular features appear even colder, as if they were covered in frost.

Before he finished listening to the person on the phone, he muttered something, and I could sense his displeasure from his tone. His furrowed brow was as cold as ice. He was fluent in the Cirencester language, and his tone was unquestionable. It seemed he was angry.

Sweat inexplicably formed in the palm of my hand. His expression made me feel uneasy.

At last, I heard him utter one more terrifying statement before ending the call abruptly.

After he hung up, he was silent for a while. I tentatively asked, "Who was that?"

Then, my dad would be entirely controlled by the Non-Organization.

This was not good news.

"What did Xavier's attitude tell you?" I asked, a little unsettled.

Atlas's tone was very confident as he said, "General Xavier is determined to eliminate Navi this time, so he ignored it. He’s already cut off the Triple Alliance’s communication channels."

"General Xavier has taken a strong stance. He’s joined forces with several influential forces within the alliance and wants to eliminate Navi directly in one fell swoop. Navi is a sly one. There’s no way he’s not feeling the pressure."

Atlas glanced at me and said very confidently. "That’s also why Navi didn’t dare make the exchange so easily with us. Judging from General Xavier's call, it seems that Navi has put himself in a difficult situation. He's made a fatal mistake!"

"Why do you say that?" I asked, in some confusion.
