Chapter 544 Seraphina Was Abducted

• Reality had always been unpredictable, shifting in an instant—no plan had ever been foolproof, and no one had been able to promise flawless execution without a margin for error. Following the coordinates provided, Seraphina maneuvered her car toward a modest convenience store on the west outskirts. The moment she arrived, her phone buzzed in her pocket. "I'm here. Where are you?" Her sharp gaze flitted across the surroundings, carefully scanning the faces in the area. Yet, among the scattered pedestrians and locals, there wasn't a single foreigner in sight—nothing seemed out of place.
• Meanwhile, Edward's team had spread out discreetly, watching every corner, every passerby. However, despite their vigilance, not a single suspicious figure emerged. What they didn't know was that their target was never in the village to begin with. Instead, he was stationed atop a distant hill, peering through military-grade binoculars, closely monitoring Seraphina's every move from afar.
• "There's a black cloth bag hidden in the garbage alley. Find it and dump all the jewelry into it," the voice on the phone instructed. Seraphina carried out the command swiftly, her movements precise and deliberate. Just as she secured the bag, her phone buzzed again.
