Night of Destiny (Anastasia Tillman)

Chapter 2636

The enemies hidden in the dark were going to make their move too. There would be an election after

Christmas. So, Zacharias planned to get rid of some people then. Those people were also trying to Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

eliminate Zacharias and instate one of their supporters in the position of vice president. A quiet war had

drawn its curtains. The people were oblivious to the raging undercurrents.

“The plan for Zacharias’ trip to Easternia is underway. We’ll make our move there. It’s a remote island,

and no media’s going to be alerted. All we have to do is kill Zacharias and his men and make the

seabed cave-in. We’ll then tell everyone that it was a natural disaster, and Zacharias will cease from

being a thorn in our side.” “Sounds perfect. Execute it well, and we’ll have nothing to worry about

anymore.” “We cannot fail this time, or we’ll never know peace.” Shirley and her family arrived at the

airport that afternoon. After she handed her luggage to Richard’s underling, she sat with Ava. Ava was

delighted to make this trip, whereas Angela kept checking on Shirley and saw her staring out the

window. It was as if she was reluctant to leave. She truly felt for her daughter. It was difficult for anyone

to stay away from their lover when they were in the honeymoon phase.

After Shirley’s flight took off, Zacharias came out of his office. His motorcade was waiting for him. He

would have to go to Easternia next. A new secret base was being built there. He had to be there to sign

the papers and call a meeting.

The motorcade came to the port. Freddie and Roy followed Zacharias closely.

Apart from Zacharias’ eight bodyguards, the Minister of Security and his men would be tagging along

as well.

After Zacharias boarded the ship, someone in a car hidden nearby pulled the telescope away, and they

texted, ‘Zacharias has boarded the ship.

The person who received the text made a call. They said, “Target has set sail.

Get ready.” Zacharias was in his waiting room on the ship. Freddie was working, but his heart wasn’t in

it. He closed his laptop and looked at his composed boss. Yet, he couldn’t stop the increasing anxiety

welling up in his heart.

The Minister of Security came in holding a laptop. His underling was typing away. It seemed that they

had managed to intercept a few phone signals.

“Sir, they’re starting to communicate, and we’ve intercepted all the messages.” “Keep that as

evidence,” instructed Zacharias.

“We’ve apprehended all the spies they installed among us. The island is now under our control. We’ll

be able to lure them onto the island and capture all of them by 10.00PM at the latest. We’ll have

enough evidence and witnesses by then. I’m certain that they will not escape court- martial.” Zacharias

nodded. He was setting himself up as bait. Thus, he had already expected that several sharks would

come out to play.

Richard had gone to the plane’s cabin. His phone was left on his seat. Shirley heard someone texting

her father as he had only kept his phone on vibrate. She could check her father’s phone anytime she

wanted, especially since the passcode was her birthday. So, she sneakily picked up the phone, trying

to see who was texting her father.

When she noticed the chat history between her father and Zacharias, she was momentarily stunned.

Then, she didn’t hesitate to scroll through the conversation. They were all simple texts.

‘Be careful! That was what Richard texted Zacharias earlier that morning.

‘Don’t worry, Richard. Everything is under control. That was from Zacharias.

‘Tell me if anything happens.’ That was from Richard.

‘Understood.

The texts would seem nonsensical to outsiders. However, Shirley’s heart sank as she understood the

implications. She knew right then why her father was taking them back to the base in such a hurry. He

didn’t have anything urgent to settle at all. Instead, Zacharias was going through some dangerous

operation.

That was why her father had to take her into hiding. What kind of operation is it this time? Shirley was

reminded of the assassination attempt that had occurred last time. This had to have something to do

with that. Who is Zacharias fighting?
