1691Everyone had been in fear. When the door that couldn't be opened suddenly opened, they were all shocked and looked over. Why did the door suddenly open of its own accord?"What's going on?"Ward was even more shocked, turning to look at Keagan. Keagan shook his head. "Sorry, I don't know, sir."Ward knitted his brows tightly. In theory, apart from him and Keagan, only the ten martial arts masters could open the door.Could it be them?Before he could think it through, a young man appeared at the door.The man strode in expressionlessly with a fainting person in his hand.Seeing the comer, Ward turned ashen. The person was not one of the ten martial arts masters, but one he had never met before! "Who are you?" he questioned sharply.Then he looked down, shocked. The one in the man's hand was none other than 002, one of the top ten martial arts masters sent by the Union. And he was ranked second in them. That's why the young man could unlock the door—he just direc
Chapter 1692Suddenly, a group of people dressed in Base attire rushed in, brandishing guns and firing directly at Ward and his team.Ward's face turned pale as he shouted, "Watch out!"Gunfire erupted all around them, sending everyone into a panic."They're killing people!"Some people who had been trying to escape heard the gunshots and started screaming, running back inside to find a place to hide.Chaos reigned supreme.Ward crouched behind a wall, feeling dismayed. He had never expected the young man to bring reinforcements.Now they were outnumbered.Meanwhile, Selon kept running toward the exit, despite the constant sound of gunfire ringing in his ears.He knew that the only way to truly be safe was to escape from the scene.Furthermore, Sean had already sent people to help, so the only thing he could do was not make things worse.The young man and his companions were considerate of innocent bystanders, only aiming their guns at Ward and his team.In contrast, Ward
Chapter 1693As soon as the order came through, the Base personnel on the ground immediately began intercepting Selon.Selon emerged from the underground level, only to spot several men running toward him from the distance. He froze in place, quickly surveying his surroundings, but no matter which direction he looked at, people were closing in on him.He was trapped.How was he supposed to escape from the base now?Just as he was at a loss for what to do, the black-clad man who should have been on the underground level suddenly appeared beside him."You!" Selon was taken aback.The man remained expressionless as he spoke, "Our master has ordered us to escort you to safety!"The people from the base were intercepted and couldn't get close to him for the time being.The black-clad man continued, "Later, you will leave from the northern passage, which leads to the sea. A boat will be waiting for you there!""Okay!" Selon agreed readily.Led by the man, he rushed straight toward
Chapter 1694"He's a martial artist personally trained by Chester," Sean replied.Molly finally understood. "No wonder he has such excellent skills."Chester was the strongest expert in the Grandset, and those trained by him were exceptional.Molly breathed a sigh of relief. "With them escorting him, Mr. Shepard will be safe."Initially, she was worried that Selon wouldn't be able to escape on his own, but now that he had someone protecting him, she believed they would soon meet up with him."Yeah." Sean nodded and glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen.It was almost midnight.He wrapped his arm around Molly's shoulder and spoke softly. "You can go for a rest. I'll watch over things here.""But..." Molly was still worried.She couldn't sleep peacefully until she saw Selon safely leave the base.Sean knew her concerns and lightly pinched her nose, purposely putting on a serious expression. "You have to listen to me. You're pregnant and can't sta
Chapter 1695"We're almost there!" shouted someone.Selon raised his head to see the exit where the people from the Grandset had opened up not far away.But as he was about to breathe easier, he suddenly felt impending danger.The hair on the back of his neck prickled.Instinctively, he stepped aside.At the same time, a bullet missed his shoulder a matter of inches.Selon's face turned pale in an instant.The black-clad man and his team instinctively turned their heads toward where the bullet came from.Even though it was night, the base was lit up as bright as day, and they saw a red dot flashing from a high place.They tensed up.It was a sniper.They had never expected that Ward would send a sniper to kill Selon.At the same time, several figures appeared at the exit.The black-clad man's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "Everyone, be careful. These people are not like the previous ones."As a skilled martial artist trained by Chester, he was always sharp
Chapter 1696Selon quickly found himself in retreat, losing strength with each passing moment.Seeing an opportunity, the martial art expert raised his dagger and thrust it toward Selon's chest.'I'm so screwed.'Just as Selon resigned himself to his fate, a slender hand reached out from nowhere and deflected the attack.Selon turned his head, only to see a stranger's face."Are you okay?" the stranger asked.The voice was familiar enough for him to recognize."Alkaid!" he cried out, both shocked and relieved."Yeah, it's me," she replied.It was indeed Alkaid in disguise.Relieved to see her safe, Selon said quickly, "I'm fine."Alkaid hummed, but the expert charged up once again."Be careful!" Selon shouted.Alkaid's expression turned serious as she engaged the attacker.Although she was not as strong as Chester or Blackrose, she faced off her opponent head-on.Selon watched the close fight, worried about her safety.The martial art expert, aware of his disadvantage,
Chapter 1697Alkaid subconsciously shielded Selon behind her and stared fiercely at the fighters in front of her. In the meanwhile, she was mentally estimating how long it would take to take them down.Selon looked at her and saw her grim face. He was dumbfounded.In his memory, Alkaid was a talkative girl with a bright and bubbly personality. He had rarely seen her so serious.He didn't want to see her like this.Thinking about it, Selon felt guilty.If it wasn't for protecting him, she didn't have to put herself in danger, even though it was her job."Get out of here when you get a chance. Don't worry about me."Right after that, Alkaid rushed forward and fought the fighters.Selon didn't want to run away on his own. He thought that since they arrived at the base together, they had to leave together.Even though Alkaid was an excellent fighter, she was alone. She was getting more and more wounds.Selon's heart tensed up. Just as he was about to aid her, there were footstep
Chapter 1698It was in the middle of the night, and the base was still in chaos.Molly suddenly woke up.She sat up languidly and gazed outside for a while. When she became more awake, she got up and went downstairs.As the current situation was chaotic, she couldn’t sleep soundly even though she knew that Sean could handle everything.Having lots of dreams, she didn’t sleep deeply.She stepped to the living room soon.Sean didn't sleep. Leaning against the sofa, he was taking stock of the situation.Hearing footsteps, he slowly turned his head and asked, "Honey, why did you wake up?""Well, I can't sleep well since so many things have happened," Molly answered truthfully, who poured a glass of water and handed it to Sean.Sean took it and took a sip.Molly stared at him. Noticing that he was tired, she couldn’t help letting out a small sigh. "What's the situation now?""I’ve been told that Selon has been taken out." Sean placed down the glass and pulled Molly into his arms
