Chapter 496 Locate
"Faster! Can you go any faster? Hurry up!" Sawyer shouted in the yacht's cockpit, nearly deafening the crew members with his loud voice.
Next to him stood a man in sportswear, the hood of his long-sleeved T-shirt pulled up.
He wore thick glasses and looked slightly pale. A typical tech geek. The
bespectacled man crouched by a box with various complex instruments, clutching a laptop.
The bespectacled man was Sawyer's old partner. He had been the main operator during the hacker attack against Nathaniel.
Since then, Sawyer had made him his personal programmer, bringing him along for everything.
Today's situation with Freya caught him off guard. He was still dazed. He had been helping Freya search for her brother Mason's whereabouts, but their opponent's strength was overwhelming, even deceiving him.
When he tracked the car, it disappeared into a church, and that was it.
At the same time, Nathaniel's people were causing trouble, making Sawyer experience true chaos for the first time.
This morning, his phone suddenly received a message from a self-destructing messaging app. The message was blank.
He was bewildered. It had been a long time since he and Freya had used that app. The developer, now fiddling with the instruments beside him, had created it specifically for them.
After Nathaniel discovered it on Freya's phone, she never used it again, but Sawyer couldn't bring himself to delete it. It was their shared secret.
Unexpectedly, after so long, Freya sent a message again. The flame of the message slowly burned away on the screen, leaving nothing behind. He didn't think Freya was joking.
She was too serious for that, sometimes annoyingly so.noveldrama
Sawyer quickly called Freya, but she didn't answer. Her phone was off.
Half an hour later, the self-destructing messaging app sent another blank message. Even a fool would understand that Freya was signaling him.
He remembered the app's special feature: even if the phone was off, as long as it was installed, it would keep sending offline messages.
Sawyer found the app's developer, who was shocked. He hadn't told Sawyer about a hidden feature: a location tracker.
He was a hacker with a bad reputation, and clients were scarce. Sawyer was his most long-term and unusual client.
The developer initially set up the tracker to sell Sawyer's whereabouts to tabloids for extra cash.
Sawyer punched him hard when he found out, then transferred him 500,000 dollars, demanding to locate Freya.
If he found her, he'd get another 500,000. Otherwise, he'd be thrown into the open sea to see if he could swim back.
The bespectacled man nervously tested the instruments, sweat forming on his forehead.
"Found her yet?" Sawyer wanted to punch him again. He was furious that the guy had the nerve to set a tracker but also relieved that it might help find Freya.
This time, he underestimated the situation's seriousness. Searching for Mason had inadvertently endangered Freya.
Someone wanted her dead, using Mason to set a trap.
Freya must have had no choice but to send her location at the right moment. Only
by finding her could they unravel the mystery.
"Mr. Sawyer, it's not that I don't want to find her. We're out at sea, and sometimes the signal is affected by the weather," the bespectacled man stammered. Śwnovel
"Find her! Now!" Sawyer pointed a gun at the man's head.
Terrified, the bespectacled man promised, "Mr. Sawyer, don't get too excited. I'm looking... I'm looking..."
The advanced equipment on the

yacht scanned the sea, avoiding interference from other ships, heading towards the generaktarget area.
Sawyer's phone rang. It was a call from an unknown number.
He answered, and Nathaniel's raspy voice came through, broken by pain.
"Where are you now?"
Sawyer was surprised Nathaniel was calling, not knowing how he got his private number. But for Nathaniel, it wasn't a big deal.
He sneered, "What's it to you where I am?"
Nathaniel didn't speak for a moment, then a gentle woman's voice came on the line.
"Sawyer! Are you on a business trip again? Your friends came to see you!"
"They're very nice and brought me gifts. I really like them..."
“Nathaniel! I.....” Sawyer choked on his curses, swallowing his panic. “Let me talk to my mom!"
Nathaniel handed the phone to Sawyer's mother, and his voice immediately softened.
"Mom, I'll be back soon. Don't worry."
After speaking with his mother for a bit, Nathaniel's voice came back on.
"Where are you? Where's Freya?"
"Answer me, now!"
Cold sweat dripped down Sawyer's
face.

He knew Nathaniel was aware something had happened to Freya. He didn't want
to involve him, but now he had no choice but to speak.
