Chapter 354

Clark must be aware of Lisanne’s whereabouts.Soon, they arrived at the Special Task Force’s office. James waited for them at the entrance to welcome them personally.As Xavier went to park the car, he was slower to reach compared to Winnie and David.Noticing Xavier’s absence, James couldn’t help but gaze behind the newcomers before asking Winnie, “Where’s Mr. Fairchild? Why isn’t he here with you two?”Winnie was baffled.Apparently, James hadn’t demanded their presence solely to reveal Lisanne’s whereabouts to them. It seemed like he had another objective.She couldn’t help but knit her brows. “Why else are you looking for him? He’s parking the car and will be here soon.”James replied grimly, “There is something I need to discuss with you two. It’s fine as long as he’s here.”Right after he spoke, Xavier entered their vision as he walked toward them with large strides.Now that everyone was there, James led the party into his office.“Take a seat. I only have these few chairs here, so make yourself comfortable.” After directing everyone to settle down, James cut to the chase.“Firstly, I want to update you about the whereabouts of Ms. Marsh from the science academy. Indeed, we, the Special Task Force, have temporarily transferred Ms. Marsh and her other colleague here because they are very experienced in handling radioactive elements and gas. I believe you all are familiar with my colleague Margareta. She’s very excellent and skilled in tracking and surveillance. Therefore, this time, the organization has assigned her a mission.”He paused briefly before continuing, “We received definite news about an overseas terrorist group kidnapping a scientist from Rodunst a few months ago. This scientist recently attained a significant achievement in his research on radioactive gases. He successfully extracted a form of radioactive gas from the element Actinium, and the gas was named Alpha radioactive gas. This newly-extracted gas is simultaneously beneficial and detrimental. It is useful in the treatment of cancer when used safely and correctly. However, when the gas is misused, it will cause great harm to humans and the environment that humanity depends heavily on for survival. Now, that scientist and the Alpha radioactive gas he created have been forcefully taken away by these terrorists. The police force at Rodunst had immediately taken action after that incident happened. They have been trying to arrest the terrorists, rescue the scientist, and retrieve the Alpha radioactive gas.”James took a break before adding, “However, the terrorists are threatening the police with the scientist and Alpha radioactive gas. Hence Rodunst’s police force didn’t dare to act impulsively. As a result, these desperados gradually retreated and have since entered our country’s border. While hunting them down, these terrorists have also suffered great casualties. Since they aren’t capable of clashing head-on with the police, they decide to take the risk and sneak into Avenport. Regrettably, aside from knowing the scientist’s appearance, we failed to acquire any photos of the terrorists. We finally tracked them down with much difficulty recently, but their movements are erratic. They have probably entered the city’s mountainous area and are attempting to barge into the neighboring state’s mountainous area to abscond.”He paused for a few moments before saying, “We were surprised about the fact that they chose Avenport, but we figured out afterward that they probably wanted to pack the Alpha radioactive gas in separate containers and take them away. Or perhaps, they have more than just one buyer in the first place. Coincidentally, there are a few chemical plants at the juncture of Avenport and its neighboring state,
