Beyond the Divorce

The echoing footsteps reverberated through the tunnel-like corridor, each step pounding on my heart. Anxiously, I replayed the address Clark had mentioned, sensing it wasn't a location within our borders.
I couldn't discern whether it was the cave-like environment, the doors we encountered, or perhaps everything we had experienced.
There were still many questions I wanted to ask the man we just encountered, but those were now facts of the past. There was no way to change everything.
After we emerged, Atlas gave Dylan some instructions. I had lost the excitement I felt coming in.
My mind was filled with the news that Rory was still alive. My emotions were in an exhilarated state, bordering on impatience.
On the way back, I asked Atlas, "Atlas, do you think the address he provided is real? Can we really find my father?"
While saying this, my hands clenched tightly.
Atlas reached over, holding my hand. "It's a small town on the border of a small country. The place is quite complicated. It's at the intersection of three countries and is currently the most dangerous place in the world."
Finally hearing what I least wanted to hear, I knew from the address that it must be a rough place.
"All the industries there are shady dealings, not places normal people can casually enter. So, we must develop a meticulous plan to enter that place and save him."
Atlas's words left no room for doubt. It seemed like he was not hiding anything from me.
"Rest assured, I'll set out tomorrow and personally go to get him."
"You're going by yourself?" I asked in surprise, as it was unexpected.
Earlier, I had seen him instruct Dylan on some details, and I thought he was arranging for Dylan to go.
Atlas nodded decisively. "Yes, I'm going. Moreover, the organizations in Jitador are also searching for him. If they get there first, they won't leave anyone alive."
"In that case, we must be quick." I felt unsettled.
Atlas's expression was extremely grave. "All his later hardships resulted from the father and son's sinister actions. They wanted to use Rory as a hostage to ensure their safety." "But now, both of them are in our hands, right? Aren't they unattended?" I looked at Atlas, seeking clarification.
"However, we suspect Jarvis has allied with the criminal forces in the triangular area, intending to use Rory as a bigger bargaining chip. So, even though they are minor players in this whole event, they deserve severe punishment.
"There might be deeper secrets behind them that we don't know about. Dylan just sent someone into that area to gather information so we can smoothly get him out." Hearing his words, I breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Atlas was well-prepared.
The car sped through the dark passage, and Atlas glanced at me, squeezing my hand. He spoke softly, "Chlo, I've been waiting for this day for a long time.
