Trouble

The news was so sudden that when Cynthia heard it, her body instinctively froze.

"Why so suddenly?" she asked.

On the other end of the line, Bald Eagle pursed his lips and briefly explained the situation, mentioning that he had recently received a call from Lonely Wolf. "There's unrest at the border, and we urgently need to go there to take control of the situation."

He then added, "By the way, Lonely Wolf asked me to check with you if you have any relatives in the Independent State."

"Why do you ask?" Cynthia frowned, a hint of contemplation flashing in her almond-shaped eyes.

"Maybe Lonely Wolf got some faulty intel." Given the urgency of the situation, Bald Eagle didn't elaborate further but instead warned her repeatedly, "The Ford family situation is complicated. You must be careful."

"I understand."

After hanging up, Cynthia's frown deepened, her mind filled with thoughts. Why did they ask if she had relatives in the Independent State?
