Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
Chapter 1776: Explosives Expert

Chapter 1776: Explosives Expert

When Luther parked the car near the abandoned school, he left it on the side and went to the passenger seat to pick up the unconscious Alisha.

The night was dark, and the darkness seemed to devour everything around. There was no moon tonight, and it was nearly pitch black, with visibility almost nonexistent.

Luther carried Alisha and walked into the empty school.

Following the designated location, he headed straight to the gymnasium on the ground floor of the abandoned school.

Upon arrival, the faint light ahead brought him a sense of reassurance. As he had expected, this location, after his discreet investigations, matched Felix's findings, confirming each other's discoveries. The unlocking device for the detonator was hidden in the gymnasium.

It was a large device, and only an open and spacious place like the gymnasium would be convenient for concealing it.

Carrying Alisha, Luther entered the gymnasium.

When Luther saw the person waiting for him, he was genuinely stunned. It was Reuben?!

Felix didn't come because he and Vicki were in charge of diverting Athena's attention. The doctor Felix had arranged would be waiting for him in the gymnasium.

But standing before him was Reuben!

Luther looked around and asked, "What are you doing here? Where is the doctor?"

Reuben lightly tapped himself and said, "It's me."

Luther was taken aback. "You're the doctor? How is that possible?"

The most crucial question was, how did Reuben know Felix? Luther immediately looked around, searching for Joyce's presence. If Reuben was here, did that mean Joyce was here too? Did Joyce finally find out about everything and become involved in the entire plan?

"Don't bother looking. Why is it impossible? I am a medical professional, with degrees at the bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels. I have worked at the Royal Hospital, and my surgical skills are exceptional The new anesthetic you mentioned is also exclusive to the Rohomes royal family. Let's not waste any time." Reuben pointed to a temporary medical bed beside him. It wasn't large, just enough for an adult to lie on their side. It was the perfect size for a child.

Luther didn't have time to inquire further and quickly placed Alisha on the small bed.

Reuben opened his toolbox, preparing for the procedure, and asked, "What's wrong with her? She doesn't seem like she's asleep. Why did she pass out?"

Luther didn't deny it. "She was crying and throwing a tantrum, so I made her faint. Can you really perform the surgery and anesthesia?"

He confirmed once again, not entirely at ease.

"I can. But where is the person who will dismantle the unlocking device? Are there only the two of us?"

As Reuben spoke, he had already set up a plastic sheeting tent. It wasn't large, just enough to cover Alisha completely.

He himself put on a full set of sterilized clothing and gloves. "This is a professional temporary sterile tent, allowing for aseptic operations. After all, we need to open the chest, although it won't go too deep. But considering Alisha's fragile condition, it's better to be cautious. We don't want any surgical infections."

"Okay." It wasn't until this moment that Luther truly felt it. He finally believed that Reuben was indeed a medical professional. Reuben's actions looked extremely professional, and he had thought everything through.

"I will dismantle the unlocking device myself. We don't need someone specialized in explosives." Luther spoke while opening his own toolbox. "I already saw the location of the unlocking device earlier. You prepare, and when I'm ready, I'll give you the signal. You can start. I will dismantle the unlocking device simultaneously. Once I dismantle it, you can safely remove the detonator. But you only have five minutes. Once unlocked, I can interfere with satellite signals, blocking them for five minutes. It's impossible to maintain the blockage for too long. Once it fails, it will trigger the alarm in Athena's hand, and she will know that we are attempting to remove the detonator and micro-explosive device from Alisha's body."

Luther emphasized, taking a deep breath. "So, you only have five minutes. Once you remove the detonator and micro-explosive device, you must throw them into this bucket."

As he said this, Luther handed a cylinder to Reuben, placing it at his feet and opening the lid.

"Don't underestimate this cylinder. It was specially made by my people. The explosion-proof lining inside is sufficient to withstand several kilograms of TNT. You throw the detonator and micro-explosive device inside, immediately cover the bucket, and lock it. This way, the detonator and micro-explosive device will explode inside, without causing any external impact. That willensure our success. Because once the detonator is removed from the body, the micro-explosive device will explode one minute later. So, you have to be quick, not wasting even a second."

"Wow, this is high-tech, amazing. Luther, I didn't expect you to know all this. You can dismantle it yourself." Reuben didn't hesitate to praise him. "You have thought of everything. Don't worry, I will finish within five minutes."

"Good. I will start now." Luther didn't waste any more words.

In fact, he had spent a lot of effort studying this micro-explosive dismantling technique recently. During his free time, he had conducted numerous experiments. He had some basic knowledge before, having delved deeper into explosives after Joyce was bound with a timed bomb by Yan Jun. After Joyce disappeared, he regretted it and spent countless sleepless nights full of remorse. Over those thousand-plus nights, he read many books on explosives because he didn't want such a thing to happen again. With his extensive reading and his natural talent, he had become an expert in explosives.

That's why he didn't need a military explosives expert for this operation, nor did he need Felix's support in explosive dismantling.

From the beginning, he had planned to study and solve it himself.

In this operation, he didn't want to disturb Joyce, but he couldn't trust outsiders. Only he could save Alisha. He had to bring his complete daughter back home.

He quickly approached the unlocking device and turned on his flashlight.

Opening the outer cover of the device revealed a complex array of circuits, with thousands of connections, more intricate than he had imagined. The red display continuously flickered, resembling the eyes of a crimson beast in the darkness. It looked ominous.

Luther held his breath, forcing himself to calm down. He quickly and carefully traced the circuits, then cut the first copper wire.
