His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1309

Cassius walked steadily forward, disappearing step by step into the shadows.

The heavy iron gates groaned shut behind him, like the jaws of a beast swallowing his imposing figure whole.

Meanwhile, at The Sentinel Point—an unfinished high-rise building opposite the factory—Thaddeus and Hans stood side by side in the biting wind. Both men stared at the structure, their expressions grim.

"He's smart. Choosing a completely sealed-off facility means we have zero visibility from the outside."

Thaddeus's grip tightened around his sniper rifle case. "Without knowing his exact position, taking a shot is impossible."

Hans frowned deeply. "What about the Thermal Imager? Can't we scan through the walls to track their movements?"

Thaddeus shook his head slightly. "Useless here. Even if I could spot a heat signature, the distance and the structural interference mean I couldn't guarantee a kill shot. If I miss and spook him, he might panic and do something fatal to Cassius or Dr. Bright."

Hans's chest felt incredibly tight, and the wound on his left shoulder throbbed relentlessly, but he pushed past the pain, trying to regulate his breathing.

"Then... what's the play?"

Thaddeus's eyes darkened instantly. "Infiltrate."

"Infiltrate."

A second voice echoed the exact same word from behind them.

Both Thaddeus and Hans spun around in shock.

"Elvis?!"

Elvis Waverley emerged from the shadows, walking toward them with effortless swagger. Though his handsome face looked shadowed and exhausted, he carried his usual undeniable, reckless confidence.

Hans felt a powerful surge of emotion in his chest, his voice turning husky. "Elvis."

Perhaps because he finally had a family and a woman he loved, the notoriously wild and untamed Elvis had softened. He couldn't stop a single tear from escaping the corner of his eye.

"We execute this fast. Every minute we waste is another minute Cassius and Dr. Bright are in mortal danger."

Thaddeus was already fully prepped, his expression ice-cold. "Let's end this quickly so Elvis can get back to Ms. Archer."

Elvis raised an eyebrow. "Damn right. Let's move."

...

Cassius walked further into the factory. The air was bone-chillingly cold, and the darkness was absolute.
