NovelUSAThe files in the Citrine dossier had all been reviewed-every last page. They contained information on everyone
who'd been brought to Mirage Cay over the years.
Each person had been sorted by their value. At the top were the senior researchers and those whose expertise
benefited the group the most. The next tier included high-level managers and staff who kept operations running.
Then, at the very bottom, were those chillingly labeled as the "donor pool"-their bodies nothing more than
inventories for the wealthy to pick apart as needed.
The list detailed exactly how much value each individual had created for Mirage Cay. It didn't stop there; it also
included the identities of those buying from the donor pool, along with an abundance of evidence documenting
every sordid transaction and crime, all meticulously cataloged.
Citrine immediately dispatched a team to turn over the evidence to the national authorities, who promptly
alerted the Foreign Ministry.
But the Archer Group was the largest conglomerate in Magnolia, holding lucrative government contracts and
deep-rooted interests. The Foreign Ministry personally sent envoys to Magnolia to negotiate, but after several
rounds of talks, progress was minimal.
A few days later, Northriver issued a direct order: the military would intervene to rescue their people.
Once the command cdown, Citrine led her team according to the battle plan they'd drawn up, moving
swiftly toward Mirage Cay.
Inside the interrogation room on Mirage Cay, Raymond Carmichael sat slumped in a corner, his face half-hidden
in shadow.
Days had passed. His wounds had begun to heal, and he was starting to look a little better.
When he'd first arrived, they'd tried to force him to commit crimes. When he refused, they threw him into the
interrogation room and subjected him to relentless torture. In just two weeks, he'd lost over thirty pounds.

He was a grown man, but even he could barely endure the agony they inflicted. In less than a month, it felt as if
his bones had been broken, his spirit stretched to the brink.
And yet Citrine had survived two years in this place. The suffering she'd endured dwarfed his own.
Whenever the pain bectoo much, Raymond's mind was tormented by images of his daughter, suffering at
the hands of these people. Those visions were so vivid, so brutal, they eclipsed even the nightmares that
haunted him.
He realized then that the pain in his heart far outweighed any injury to his body. For a time, he believed he would
die here.
Strangely, though, a few days ago, the beatings stopped. No one cto torment him anymore. Instead,
someone brought him medicine. He was served three meals a day: hearty food, a bowl of nourishing Soup with
every lunch.
Raymond couldn't help but feel uneasy.
That afternoon, Citrine and her team arrived at Mirage Cay.
She knew the landscape by heart-the layout, the security, even the exact number and locations of every sniper.
"You three, take points A, B, C, and D. Eliminate the snipers," Citrine ordered, gesturing crisply to her team.
"Yes, ma'am!" the soldiers replied in unison, their voices steady and resolute.
"The rest of you, cwith me." Citrine's voice was cool and sharp.
There was an air of lethal determination about her-nothing like the twenty-something girl she
appeared to be. She radiated ene
authority of a seasoned
commander, the kind that made soldiers stand a little straighter just by being in her presence.

The team followed her through the access tunnel, moving silently, single file.
Once inside, Citrine didn't rush. She waited, motionless, eyes alert.

Citrine ignored him, signaling to her team with a subtle nod.
The soldiers instantly understood, raising their weapons as they advanced.
