The Last Container

While Luo Xia and Li Bai were busy dealing with the gangsters on the cargo ship, Matt was driving his SUV in pursuit of the final human trafficking container, eventually arriving at a restricted military zone.

The area was heavily guarded, and even though Matt's skills far exceeded those of an average person, he could not infiltrate such a military facility.

Left with no choice, Matt called Luo Xia. Upon hearing Matt's report, Luo Xia replied bluntly, "Then come back first and get the people on the ship settled."

"But there was another container of people that was already taken away!" Matt said, sounding agitated.

Luo Xia remained silent for a few seconds before saying calmly, "Matt, you are not a god; you cannot save the whole world."

"But can't we at least try? If your robots could help..."

Before Matt could finish his sentence, Luo Xia cut him off.

"If it were just dealing with some gangsters, I would help you, but I will never agree to risk an intrusion into a restricted military zone. That is an opponent on an entirely different level, and we know nothing about what's inside. Entering would mean a ninety percent chance of being executed on the spot," Luo Xia stated.

Matt was not a fool; he knew Luo Xia's words held merit.

A restricted military zone was a completely different beast from the dark corners of a dock. Even though neither Luo Xia nor Matt were ordinary, they would be nothing more than moving targets if discovered by organized military personnel.

Matt took a deep breath. "But I can't just watch and do nothing."

Luo Xia was speechless on the other end of the line. Well, this man was a true saint, a paragon of resilience despite his disability. If he were on the other side of the Pacific, he would undoubtedly be one of the "Top Ten People Who Moved the Nation," provided he wasn't censored while upholding justice.

No matter how he looked at it, Luo Xia admired Matt, but it was precisely for that reason that he couldn't watch him go to his death.

"Matt, the truth is, we aren't helpless. We can't break in to save them, but we can use other methods to ensure their survival," Luo Xia urged.

"What method?"

"Follow our original plan and mobilize public opinion. It's the middle of the night; even if they intend to use those people for human experimentation, they won't be working while everyone is asleep. Besides, to obtain accurate data, they must first conduct detailed examinations of the subjects to ensure no variables skew the results."

"In other words, we still have time! As long as we act fast and expose this matter, I believe the military will have to exercise caution. They might even release these people just to distance themselves from the scandal," Luo Xia explained.

"But there is a greater chance the military will simply silence them permanently." Matt's intelligence wasn't limited to his knowledge of the law; in reality, he understood these dark tactics better than anyone.

"Don't worry. Since I'm suggesting this, I'm confident the military won't dare to silence them. My robots might not be able to storm a military base to kill and rescue, but capturing key evidence to use as leverage against the military is well within our capabilities. However, the prerequisite is that you must use your professional expertise to help me make this known to the entire world and ensure everyone from Global Consolidated Investment ends up in the Supreme Court," Luo Xia promised.

Matt thought it over carefully and realized this was the best course of action for now. He immediately turned his car around and headed toward Hell's Kitchen. He needed to return to his law firm at once to begin his and Luo Xia's plan.

Before hanging up, Luo Xia asked, "Is Ms. Page still there?"

Matt replied awkwardly, "Yes, she's asleep."

"Asleep? You... you made her sleep?" Luo Xia asked.

"She tried to fight me the moment she saw me. To ensure her safety, I had no choice but to put her to sleep for a while," Matt said helplessly.

Well, having been drugged into unconsciousness earlier and then physically knocked out by Matt, today was truly Karen Page's unlucky day. One could only hope the blonde beauty wouldn't suffer any psychological trauma after waking up.

Luo Xia watched over the women and children who had just been released on the ship. Most of them were starving; the compressed rations on the ship weren't enough to fill their stomachs, and some of the bolder ones had even run to the kitchen to cook the refrigerated ingredients themselves.

Watching this group of people, who had suffered such tragic fates, celebrating their rebirth on the deck—which looked like an Asura field—Luo Xia felt a sense of satisfaction.

Luo Xia was no saint, but when he encountered such things, he was happy to help if he could.

The Russian gangsters at the dock had tried several ways to climb onto the ship, but other than adding a few more kills to Li Bai's tally, they had achieved nothing.

Now, they only had to wait for Matt's plan to unfold. The police, hospitals, and newspapers would soon send people to this dark corner of the dock to expose the heinous crimes.

As for Luo Xia, he needed to hurry to the restricted military zone, have Li Bai and Violet infiltrate it, locate those poor souls, capture the evidence, and use it to negotiate with General Ross.

Luo Xia believed that as long as he could gauge the situation correctly, saving the people shouldn't be a problem.

However, plans rarely kept pace with change. Just as Luo Xia was leaning against the railing, looking out to see how long it would take for the police to arrive, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.

Luo Xia turned around and was met with a rather shocking sight. Well, it was the kind of shock that comes from seeing a woman with a very good figure running intensely, causing a certain rhythmic, bouncing impact.

Watching her run, Luo Xia was actually worried she might trip over herself. What surprised him even more was that he actually recognized this woman whose run was so "impactful."

"Daisy?" Luo Xia called out the name with a hint of hesitation.

Wasn't this the girl he had seen in the sewers? At the time, there had also been an Asian girl as thin as a stick named Skye.

Daisy said with pleasant surprise, "It really is you! I didn't expect you to save me again!"

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to find a lawyer with Skye?" Luo Xia asked, puzzled.

"Don't even mention it. After we realized there were monsters in the sewers, we packed our things and ran. I was originally planning to go back to England to finish that damn undergraduate degree in literature, but Skye wanted to go back to the orphanage, so I decided to accompany her first."

Daisy rattled off a long string of words the moment she started; he hadn't realized last time that she was such a chatterbox.

"You're a college student?" Luo Xia asked, surprised.

"Yeah, had a fight with my family and ran away from home," Daisy said nonchalantly.

"Then how did you get caught and brought here?" Luo Xia continued to ask.

"Who knows? In the middle of the night, we were kidnapped by a group of Russians on the road. There were hundreds of us locked up together, and we were only shipped out today. Those bastards—if I ever get the chance, I'll kick them right in the balls!" Daisy said, agitated.

"It's fine, I've already avenged you. By the way, where is Skye?" Luo Xia asked.

He had quite a good impression of that clever yet principled Asian girl, and he hadn't expected to accidentally save both of them.

"I'm looking for her too. When we were being loaded onto the trucks, she wasn't in the same container as me. Could she have... run to the kitchen to find food?" Daisy looked around.

Luo Xia suddenly had a bad premonition. Could Skye have been in that last container?
