Half an hour went by and the fleet of cars lying in ambush in the deep part of the forest was now
covered in a thick layer of snow.
Inside one of the vehicles, Captain Anderson kept his eyes on his subordinates and watched them tap
away on their computers.
Finally, one of his subordinates turned to look at him with a resigned expression. “We haven’t been
able to receive any information on Captain Lloyd. Perhaps he has switched off the communication
system or there must be a transmission disruptor set up in the cave.”
“Darn it! Does that mean we won’t even know if he’s dead or alive?” one of the fiery-tempered team
members cursed in a low voice.
“Don’t panic. I trust that Richard would not lose his life that easily. I have the utmost confidence in his
capabilities.”
“But then, we’ve just experienced the other party’s artillery power and they’re very strong. They’ve also

“We should have faith in Captain Lloyd and wait for news from him. Let’s come up with another tactical
plan if he doesn’t end up contacting us.”
The gloomy and heavy clouds descended upon the area and the exterior part of the main cliff was
covered in a layer of icy snow.
Meanwhile, another flurry of heavy snowfall dawned from the sky.
Presently, the men in charge of guarding the entrance repeatedly cast breath on their hands to warm
their palms and one of them was dunking the water bottle into his mouth.
However, he realized that the flask was empty, so he could not contain his irritation as he muttered
angrily. Subsequently, he gestured to his teammate and lifted his flask to indicate that he was going
inside to fetch some water after which his teammate nodded at him.
The man had just entered the cave when the other man standing guard instinctively started to move
and stretch his muscles. As he felt a little rock hitting his head, he lifted his head to check on the
situation before a dark figure suddenly plopped onto him from atop. Crack! The man had lost his life
with a twisted neck.
His military coat and furry hat were swiftly removed by the mysterious man as the dead was rolled off
the cliff like a sack of potatoes.
The thirsty teammate had just returned upon filling up his flask when he noticed the man standing
awfully near to the edge of the cliff. Out of curiosity, he asked in Spanish, “What’s going on?”
Immediately after the next second, his mouth was muffled by a large palm and a sharp knife was swiftly
plunged into his chest at lightning speed. His eyes widened as he tried to reach for his gun, but his
hand dropped lifelessly halfway.
Subsequently, his body was rolled down the cliff silently like his teammate. The dim lights hit them and
underneath the furry hat, it was the face of a handsome man.
The man had a tall nose bridge, his brows were deeply furrowed, and there was a dark expression in
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhis eyes. With that, he was surrounded by a. sharp and cold aura.
Richard pressed down the edge of the hat and walked into the cave naturally. There was only one path
to enter the cave and it gradually expanded as he walked inside. Finally, he arrived at a large cavity
that could fit a hundred men.
The site had already been turned into a fully functioning living system and there were hundreds of
mercenaries currently seated in groups as they chatted relaxedly with each other to kill boredom. Each
of them carried weapons on them to handle any unforeseen circumstances.
Richard was strapping tall and he hid amongst the crowd dressed in the military coat and furry hat. He
held the distinctive flask of this place in his hand as he naturally strode toward the area to fill his bottle.
After filling it, he then headed in the other direction.
