Charlie and Nanako soared through the sky in a helicopter for approximately thirty minutes, closing in on West Domo County.
While Nanako’s ninjas were actively tracking Jasmine’s location, a significant contingent of the Tokyo Police Department was also scouring the area surrounding the incident.
Charlie decided to have the helicopternd on a rtively t spot atop a mountain, about five kilometers from the incident site.<fnaca5> This update is avable on f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fnaca5>
This distance would help them evade the police search temporarily while still remaining close enough to Jasmine.
Given the challenging terrain, Jasmine wouldn’t be able to move quickly on foot, and it was estimated she could have only traveled about five kilometers since the incident.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Thus, even if luck was not on Charlie’s side and theynded in the opposite direction, the maximum distance between him and Jasmine would still not exceed ten kilometers.
Standing at over two thousand meters on the mountain’s peak, Charlie felt the biting cold and anxiety gripped his heart as he perched on a boulder.
The pills he had given Jasmine could save her once, but not a second time. He feared that if she encountered danger again, he would be powerless to assist her.
Noticing Charlie’s intense expression, Nanako quickly took out her phone, ready to call the ninja from the Ito family whom she had dispatched to gather information.
Just then, her phone vibrated, revealing a call from that very ninja.
Nanako answered eagerly, asking, “What’s the situation? Have you located Miss Moore?”
The ninja replied promptly, “Missy, we have pinpointed Miss Moore’s location. She is at the incident site, approximately four kilometers northeast of the valley. We are currently about 500 meters away from her. I observed that she appears to be in good condition, so I haven’t disturbed her. There’s no signal at the mountain top, so I came halfway to call you for instructions while others secretly follow and protect her.”
Relieved, Nanako eximed, “That’s wonderful!”
Charlie, eager for updates, pressed her, “Do we have Jasmine’s exact location?”
Nanako nodded seriously and informed him, “Charlie! My team has found Jasmine. She’s heading northeast and looks to be in good shape. They are about five or six hundred meters behind her and haven’t alerted her yet. They called me specifically for guidance. What should we do?”
Upon hearing this, Charlie felt a weight lift off his chest.
Arriving in Japan under the cover of night, all he had wished for was to hear that Jasmine was safe.
He promptly instructed Nanako, “Please have your team provide a precise location. We’re on our way!”
……..
In the valley, Jasmine was still pushing herself to move forward.
With no signal on her cell phone, she couldn’t determine her exact location, leaving her uncertain of how far she had traveled.
Fortunately, Jasmine was resourceful and relied on the North Star to navigate her way.
The North Star, located in the northern sky, is unique in that it appears nearly stationary to observers in the northern hemisphere.
This fixed position allows it to serve as a reliable guide for navigation.
By locating the North Star, Jasmine could establish that she was heading northeast, avoiding the disorientation that oftenes with being lost in the mountains.
When lost, one can easily wander in circles without realizing it, but Jasmine was determined to distance herself from the incident site. She nned to wait until she was far enough away before climbing to a higher point to find a cell signal to call for help.
Unbeknownst to her, she was surrounded by ten highly skilled ninjas.
Fortunately, these ninjas were sent by Nanako and held no ill intentions toward Jasmine. Otherwise, even with the Rejuvenation Pill in her possession, Jasmine would have been in grave danger.
At the same time, she remained blissfully unaware that Charlie, the person she was thinking of, had already arrived in Tokyo and was racing through the darkness to reach her!
With extraordinary stamina, Charlie could navigate this challenging terrain swiftly, even without relying solely on the helicopter.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
