Stephen could not hold on any longer. He had just been discharged from the hospital and had yet to fully
recover, but he had stayed up for more than 24 hours. He had reached his limit long ago.
"I'll rest for a bit. Callif anything happens."
He found a bed and fell into a deep sleep almost immediately.
Nolan looked at the team's location and secretly sent the coordinates to his own forces.
Stephen's team had no idea that their enemies were fully aware of their movements. When they reached the
designated spot and prepared to infiltrate...
Whoosh!
Suddenly, several floodlights lit up, momentarily blinding them. When their eyes adjusted, they realized that
they were completely surrounded.
"We've been ambushed!" The team members gripped their guns tighter, their faces tense.
"| didn't expect you to actually come." A young handsman slowly walked out from the darkness. His name
was Jared York, a man trained by the Spencers. He was also acting on the Spencers’ orders this time.

The team captain glared at him. "It's better if you cwith us instead."
"Heh." Jared sneered. "I guess negotiations are over."
He knew that convincing them was impossible. He would not have willingly opposed them if the Spencers had
not ordered him to.
"Put down your weapons," he said. "We won't hurt you. As long as Stephen pays up, we'll let you leave safely."
Everyone's eyes turned to the captain. He was Arnold Decker, a powerful elite soldier.
Before he could speak though, Jared's phone rang. He picked it up and saw only two words: [Kill them.]
Jared's expression darkened. The
Spencers intended to send a
warning to Stephen and further undermine his authority. They were starting to go all out. He slowly retreated into
the shadows and said, "Do it."
Gunfire immediately erupted.
Arnold's team was exposed under the floodlights while Jared's team fired from the
shadows. Only the muzzle flashes briefly illuminated their figures.
In just an instant, Arnold's team was injured. He quickly led them to a nearby
factory for cover, only to find that it was also a trap.
Jared's team had plenty of firepower, including recoilless rifles, and they
outnumbered Arnold's team by a wide margin. By then, it was clear to everyone- Jared was planning to take
them all out.
"Captain, we'll cover you. You have to escape. We mustn't get wiped out here. Someone must escape and relay
the information!"
Arnold did not want to go, but his teammates did. In addition, he was the least injured out of them all. He also
knew that there had to be someone to relay the information. Under his teammates’ persuasion, he finally gritted
his teeth and nodded.
His teammates used smoke grenades and cover fire to help Arnold slip out of the
spotlight's range and successfully sneak into the surrounding darkness.
Jared noticed Arnold getting away and immediately ordered his men to give
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmchase. Nolan's orders were that no one would be left alive!
As an elite, Arnold possessed exceptional skills in every area. Jared and his team struggled to keep up and barely
managed to keep on his trail.
Half an hour later, a blood-soaked Arnold arrived at a village. Many villagers were still awake and were shocked
by his sudden appearance. When they saw the blood on him, their first reaction was fear, and they rushed to
their houses to grab their weapons.
However, they soon noticed his uniform.
"Wait!" someone shouted in the local dialect. "He's one of Ethan's people!"
