Was Reagan really coming? Of course, he was-it was all part of Felix's plan since Reagan was now under his control. Felix had maintained this elaborate charade in case his first attempt to capture Helena failed, knowing he might need to try again.

He had privately contacted Elliott without revealing the true nature of his mission, only mentioning his desire to take someone from Dragonia. Given Helena's appearance, her citizenship papers were likely forged anyway.

Elliott agreed to help immediately, knowing that even foreigners sometimes got sick. Felix's extraordinary medical skills made the decision easy, as he could be their last hope when modern medicine failed.

The plan centered around the desert biochemical research facility where Felix had previously been held captive. According to Elliott, this facility was one of Guneria's highest-priority projects, and its perimeter was surrounded by a strict 12-mile no-entry zone. While they did not have extraordinary fighters, they possessed the world's most advanced technology. Their radar system could detect anyone regardless of their strength or abilities. If anyone breached the perimeter, swarms of drones would deploy to drive them away. If they persisted, other measures would reveal their identity-leading to serious consequences regardless of their origin.

This arrangement worked because Elliott was not connected to the Westerio Order. Though the Order had many political figures in Guneria, they were not powerful enough to control everything yet, and individual strength meant little against military-grade missiles.

Elliott shared another story to emphasize this point. Three years ago, Westerio Order attempted to infiltrate the lab to gather intel on its progress. Their agents were discovered almost immediately, and Guneria responded by launching a missile strike on one of Westerio Order's key outposts.

The attack obliterated the site, killed countless agents, and even wiped out two powerful Scarlet Cardinals. Since then, Westerio Order had been far more cautious.

"Darling, why is your dad meeting us in such a remote location? I expected a luxury hotel or something more upscale," Helena said with growing curiosity as they drove further.

Felix shrugged casually. "My dad's a special guy. I can't really say much about what he's up to, but he wanted to see me, so here we are. Knowing him, he'll probably head straight home after this without stopping elsewhere." Helena responded with a noncommittal "Oh" while texting Jesse.

He immediately replied, "Ms. Mooney, it appears you're heading toward one of Guneria's secret human biochemical research facilities."

Helena smirked, believing that they were really meeting Reagan. She could not help but wonder if this was some sort of collaboration between the two nations. Otherwise, why would he be visiting such a classified facility?

Jesse sent another message. "Ms. Mooney, you need to act quickly. No unauthorized personnel are allowed within 12 miles of the lab. Their radar will detect any intruders instantly. Even Westerio Order doesn't dare mess with them, which means no reinforcements can protect you. Helena dismissed the concern casually. "It's fine. Opportunities like this rarely come along. Besides, do you really think I need the Westerio Order's protection?"

Realizing his misstep, Jesse immediately apologized. "You're right, Ms. Mooney. You're a powerhouse on your own, and nothing will happen to you. Still, for safety's sake, I'd recommend positioning backup just outside the 12-mile radius in case of unforeseen complications."
