Frank tightly held his girlfriend, staring in shock and confusion at the car that had been blown into the air and crashed to the ground more than twenty meters away.
"FK," he cursed, grabbing Sarah's hand and turning to leave.
"Wait, Frank, shouldn't you check if Marvin is still alive?"
Sarah, being dragged along as they hurried away, asked anxiously, but Frank ignored her completely.
After weaving through streets and alleys, ensuring they were temporarily safe, Frank pulled out his phone and made a call. Then, he dragged Sarah to a police station a block away.
Pretending to report a crime, they sat quietly on a bench, waiting.
In less than ten minutes, several military Humvees sped over and stopped outside the police station.
Just as Frank thought everything was fine, a burly white man with the rank of major quickly approached him and whispered, "Boss, we've got trouble."
"What?" Frank asked in surprise.
"Before we came, the base received orders for you to report to the Pentagon immediately."
Taking the report document and seeing the signature of the person who issued the order, Frank grabbed his subordinate by the collar, slammed the document in his face, and angrily shouted,
"FK, are you an idiot? I'm a Navy Commodore. What right does an Army Lieutenant General have to order me to report? Huh?"
"Relax, relax, boss."
The subordinate, despite being grabbed by the collar, wasn't angry and quickly explained, "That's why I said it's trouble. You'll have to ask the higher-ups yourself."
Hearing this, Frank calmed down, let go, and with a grim face, ordered, "Back to the base."
Meanwhile, far away in London, William didn't stop working until 7 PM when Nysa knocked on his door to bring him dinner.
Putting down his tools, he walked into the changing room, took off his dustproof suit, and left the lab.
While eating dinner and chatting with Nysa, he listened to Sunday's report.
When he heard that Marvin had faked his death to escape, he lightly tapped his ear, and Sunday immediately stopped speaking.
Noticing William's distractedness, Nysa glared at him in dissatisfaction before continuing, "Do you agree with me going back to the USA? My father has called me over a dozen times these past few days, asking me to return."
"What about you?" William put down his fork and knife, smiling as he asked, "Do you want to go back for a visit, or stay in the USA permanently?"
Without hesitation, Nysa replied, "Just for a few days. After seeing my father, I'll return to London."
"Then don't go back," William shook his head and explained, "You and Selena have been on missions under the Kingsman name for the past few months. The fact that you're Daywalkers is no longer a secret to some people.
And in the months before that, your father showed no interest in you. Now he's suddenly urging you to return. Haven't you thought about what that means?"
Nysa was stunned, her expression turning gloomy.
William sighed, "Believe it or not, the moment you return to the USA, you'll likely be detained and subjected to endless research."
"That's impossible," Nysa grabbed William's hand in panic, "I'm the family's only heir. How could my father bear to lock me up?"
"Ha, barring any accidents, that old man could live another thousand years without a problem."
Holding Nysa's cold hand, William sighed, "If I told you that you have a brother, and that idiot was tricked by your father into becoming a test subject, would you see your father's lack of familial affection more clearly?"
"This… this…"
Before Nysa could ask, William frowned and said, "Enough. You're mine now. Stay by my side, understand?"
Seeing William's stern expression, Nysa inexplicably felt reassured.
Holding his hand and pressing it against her cheek for a moment, she softly whispered, "I'll listen to you."
Seeing her obedience, William smiled and gently caressed her cheek, whispering, "Go back first. I'll come to the suburban manor to see you and Selena tonight."
Bound by both the blood contract and their emotions, William wasn't worried that she would defy his wishes.
Personally escorting Nysa downstairs, the two lingered by the car for several minutes before she reluctantly drove off.
On his way back to the lab, William pondered the information Sunday had gathered from increased surveillance of the vampires.
Not only was Nysa's father searching for a new path for the vampires, but other clans in the USA were also increasing their research funding, seeking ways for vampires to overcome their vulnerability to ultraviolet light.
Thinking of this, William couldn't help but smile, secretly mocking that when they created new monsters, it would be the USA that suffered.
Perhaps Benjamin Arthur, the President, whom he hadn't contacted in a while, would personally call for help again.
Around 8 PM, while listening to the Aston Martin engineers report on the day's progress, Sunday suddenly informed him, "SIR, Mr. Gareth Mallory from MI6 is downstairs, requesting to see you."
Hearing this, William was momentarily stunned. Then, he tapped the table, interrupting Louis's report, and said to Sean, "Help me bring the person downstairs to the reception room and have him wait."
"Yes, BOSS," Sean nodded and left the conference room. William turned to Louis and said, "Continue."

Gareth, accompanied by three subordinates, followed Sean to the reception room and waited for a full hour and a half before William, wearing a white lab coat, finally walked in.
As soon as he saw William, Gareth stood up and directly asked, "I heard you know Frank Moses?"
William didn't respond, instead glancing at the three people behind Gareth.
Understanding, Gareth had the two younger ones leave, then introduced the gray-haired older man to William,
"This is Director Fix. He's in charge of anything related to nuclear matters."
"Hello, Duke Devonshire. I'm Baron Fix. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Baron? Shaking Fix's hand, William looked at Gareth.
Gareth smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, Fix is one of us."
Only then did William smile, "Hello, Baron Fix. Let's sit and talk."
"Thank you," Fix, noticing William's change in attitude upon learning he was a noble and an ally, felt secretly pleased.
After personally pouring glasses of whiskey for Gareth and Fix and exchanging a few pleasantries, William sat down and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Come on, William. I don't believe you're unaware of this information, which is publicly available online."
Gareth took out a document and, ignoring Fix's attempt to stop him, handed it directly to William.
Although William already knew the general contents of the document, he still took it and read it carefully. Then, he closed his eyes, pretending to think, before opening them and saying, "Are you sure the contents of this are true? Did Edward Bailey really create a red mercury nuclear bomb?"
"We can't confirm if the red mercury nuclear bomb is real, but," Fix hesitated before continuing, "thirty-one years ago, the Americans used diplomatic mail to dismantle and ship nuclear materials and equipment in batches to the Soviet Union.
After Frank Moses and Marvin Bog protected Edward Bailey into Soviet territory, we received this intelligence and also entered Soviet territory. I was the head of the surveillance team at the time."
