Chapter 27 - The Decrypted Locket
Inside the captured operative's tactical kit, FBI agents discovered a small silver scanning device designed for micro-chips.
Arthur realized that the intruders weren't looking for bank documents—they were looking for physical object Chloe owned.

The file listed twelve private medical facilities located across Switzerland, Germany, the United States, and Japan.
