Chapter 1544 The Plague Must Be Stopped
Wynter walked over and stated calmly, "We're not going to the province. There's no need for us to get involved, anyway."
In the past, Yvette would've dismissed Wynter's words as boastful. But to her horror, she came to realize that the present Wynter was more terrifying than ever, despite having figured out she was hiding secrets.
Even with the script of rebirth in her hands, Yvette couldn't foresee where Wynter's ending would lead. Of all the others, Wynter alone was the one whose future remained a mystery. Yvette was aware of the fate befalling the Wynter she once knew, yet the figure before her was an enigma.
Yvette took a step back as a chilling realization crept into her mind. What she had once believed to be certain had changed.
The events surrounding the Quinnells, the Yarwoods, the Hawford business community, and the Havenia stock exchange had all shifted with Wynter's arrival. She was a variable that had drastically changed their trajectories.
At that realization, Yvette broke out into cold sweats as she stared at Wynter in fear.
At that point, Wynter showed no inclination to hide anything from Yvette. Under normal circumstances, the Special Unit would never expose themselves to ordinary citizens during their operations. Even the systems in place couldn't uncover its members' true identities.
One reason for such secrecy was that the Special Unit often undertook classified missions that weren't meant for public knowledge, as any disclosure could incite a public upheaval.
On top of that, the anonymity served to protect the Special Unit members from potential retaliation. An exposed member might be subjected to corruption or coercion, jeopardizing the country's stability.
Fortunately, those who joined the Special Unit possessed strong willpower. While humans tended to betray one another, the Special Unit remained fiercely loyal. That was an unspoken truth well-known among those aware of the organization.
It also explained why Yvette remained oblivious to the Special Unit's existence, even after her rebirth.
The Special Unit only engaged with civilians during their operations. After all, they were putting their lives on the line for critical missions that often concerned the nation's fate or border rescues.
Even in the face of death at the border, they would erase their identities and leave no traces that could endanger the country.
It was said that true safety didn't reside in the outside world but lay within Cascadia itself. Behind such a sense of security were individuals burdened with immense responsibilities.
They ventured into the battlefield not only to rescue lives but also to uphold morality and justice. Unbeknownst to the public, they worked to restore hope to the civilians that was the Special Unit's initial aspiration.
Yvette felt a sense of irony as her hands were cuffed. She never imagined she would find safety beside Wynter. Despite Wynter's disdain for her, Yvette believed she wouldn't resort to cruelty in critical situations, unlike the Wrays and the Winstons.
That said, Yvette didn't see herself as at fault; she was simply terrified. To someone like her, she would only feel secure when imprisoned.
As for Wynter, the priority was to pinpoint the key factors behind the upcoming pandemic. Every virus had an identifiable source, and history had shown instances of widespread outbreaks-like the horrifying cholera and bubonic plague of the Victorian age.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
