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
Chapter 1699All of a sudden, the pungent smell of blood dispersed in the air. 001 and his team members all felt a sharp pain in their shoulders and legs. They were nailed to the spot but still wanted to struggle. However, Blackrose shouted in a cold tone, "If you want to die, then move, and I'll see your head fall." They became stiff and felt as if there was something cold against their necks at the same time. 001 subconsciously lowered his eyes and clearly saw a cold thing swaying in front of his eyes. No one dared to move, and a rumor flashed through their minds. The five martial art masters of the Grandset all have their own skills and hidden weapons, and Blackrose's hidden weapon was a silver string. The silver string was polished with expensive fine iron and forged by the best weapons shop in the Grandset. Blackrose didn’t often use this string, but once she used it, some people would die. Everyone’s body was filled with coldness, like falling into an ice cellar
Chapter 1700Which part had gone wrong?Blackrose couldn't fathom how, with the vast information network of the Grandset, there could be any oversights.Suddenly, an icy voice reached her ears."The Grandset people have really outdone themselves this time, wreaking havoc on our base and throwing our plans into disarray."Blackrose snapped to attention and looked up to meet the malicious gaze of the four figures. Instinctively, she tightened her grip on her weapon as she felt their murderous intent."Everyone, be on your guard," she warned her companions.They nodded in understanding.But a vicious glint flashed across the faces of the four figures, and one of them roared, "This is the end for you!"With that, they charged forward.Blackrose and her companions sprang into action.Their opponents were clearly more skilled than those from 001 had been. Their moves were swift and ruthless. One misstep could mean death.But they were still no match for Mr. Merrick, whose skills
Chapter 1882Chester thought this was a good idea. After deliberation, he said, "Then, let's send some people over from the Dark Group."The Grandset had eight groups on the surface, but in reality, there was a secret Dark Group.The Dark Group's members were trained by Chester. Almost all of them were experts in ancient martial arts.Moreover, they were good at scouting, tracking, and counter-tracking, far more capable than the five Asura Kings.Sean looked at him and said, "That's exactly what I want to do. They're the only ones capable of this mission. Ordinary people can't accomplish it."Chester nodded. "Got it. I'll arrange it as soon as possible. I hope things will turn out well. "Sean nodded. They chatted for a while longer before Chester left.In the evening, Sean returned to his place, and Molly was still awake.She had already taken a shower and was leaning against the bedhead, reading a book about ancient medical techniques.Sean casually put his jacket aside, wa
Chapter 1881Chester left with Sean's orders and quickly told everyone.However, despite the advance notice, some of the family heads in several unmanaged districts were still missing for the next two days.The forces under the Martial Art Union also suffered from the impact.Sean sensed that something was wrong.People were missing in the Martial Art Union and the unmanaged areas, but the Grandset was fine.It was definitely not a good sign.Sean quickly called an emergency meeting.The next morning, all the hall masters gathered in the conference room of the temporary base.Everyone was seated at the large round table.Sean was the last to come in. Everyone stood up and respectfully greeted him. "Master."Sean nodded lightly in response.After taking the seat of honor, he got straight to the point and said, "I presume you know why you are summoned here. Many family heads have disappeared recently, which has caused panic among the people."Only we are left unharmed."S
Chapter 1880Mr. Ballard sighed resignedly, “We have no other choices now. The Martial Art competition will be held in two days. Hope nothing else will happen.”“Although we haven’t gotten any news from the Martial Art Union, we should be prepared for attacks and continue to prepare the medicine.”Molly also felt disturbed. The situation was still uncertain, and they couldn’t slack off.If the Martial Art Union attacked them in advance and they hadn’t been prepared, they would be in danger.“I think so. Now that it’s true, we’d better return to the hospital. The hospital must be in chaos. Molly...”Mr. Ballard looked at Sean and Molly worriedly.Molly was afraid that Sean would disagree and said immediately, “I would like to return to the hospital with you.”Sean nodded, “Remember to take a rest when you’re tired. I will ask the driver to drive you to the hospital.”The next day, the Martial Art Union made an announcement as expected.The Martial Art Union: [Recently, many he
Chapter 1879Sean ordered immediately, "Arrange more people to look for them, while secretly protecting the remaining clan leaders. Don't act rashly and alarm the enemy, so as not to raise new issues.""Moreover, send some people to look into the matter secretly, and keep a close watch on the Martial Art Union."Tony nodded, "Okay, Mr. Anderson. I'll do it right away."After finishing his words, he left hurriedly.Looking at the partial information Tony had previously compiled about clan leaders' disappearance, Sean pinched his brow. Sean mused, feeling that this matter wasn't simple.A few moments later, the office door was knocked again, "Sean, may I come in?"Molly's voice came outside the door.Hearing this, Sean adjusted his expression and got up to open the door.He gently took Molly's hand and led her into his office to sit down, "Why are you guys here at this hour? Are you not feeling well?"He asked Molly softly, smoothing her hair."No, I'm fine. It's just that Mr.
Chapter 1878Sean looked at the woman in his arms with tender eyes.He wiped the water droplets off the corners of Molly's mouth and asked, "Do you want to sleep for a while? I'll wake you up when the meal is ready."Molly didn't refuse.Unwilling to part with her, the three kids had talked to her till late hours last night.And she had to get up early this morning to catch the plane. She was indeed a little tired.Now that she had nothing to do, she could take a rest and refresh herself.Soon, Molly went to bed and slept.Sean watched over her.Later, the maid got the meal ready, and he woke up Molly.The next morning, Molly woke up to find the man beside her was gone.A note was left on the bedside table. "Don't forget to have breakfast. I have something to do and will come back tonight."She looked at the note and felt anxious.It seemed that she too had to quickly enter working mode. After breakfast, Molly quickly tidied up and went straight to the hospital.What ha
Chapter 1877Mr. Ballard smiled happily, “OK. I will take you there personally!”After they chatted for a while, Molly went to visit the hospital. Then she went to the villa to take a rest with Sean.The villa was close to the hospital. Before they went there, Sean arranged for someone to buy it.Sean’s purpose was to let Molly go to the hospital and back conveniently.After Sean carried the luggage into the villa, he said to Molly who sat on the couch, “Have a look at the villa. Tell me if you lack anything. I will buy them for you.”Molly looked around and shook her head, “Everything is available here. If I need anything else, I will tell you.”Sean smiled, put down the luggage, poured a cup of water for her, and asked with concern, “Are you tired?”Molly replied honestly, “Only my legs ache.”Hearing that, he sat beside her immediately and massaged her legs gently.Seeing that he was so considerate, she smiled and felt happy.A few minutes later, Molly felt much better an
Chapter 1876Mr. Ballard felt proud of himself, seeing the surprised expressions on Molly's and Sean's faces."What do you think of the temporary medical base we set up?" he asked, fixing his eyes on Sean.Sean, who understood what the old man meant, smiled in response. "Very good. Even better than I expected."As they chatted, they walked into the base."Mr. Ballard."Every person in a white coat greeted Mr. Ballard with respect.And they were amazed by the presence of Molly and Sean.The two were outstanding in appearance and temperament.Mr. Ballard nodded in response to the greetings while introducing the layout of the base to Molly and Sean.Molly looked around and asked curiously, "Are these people all doctors?"Given Mr. Ballard and Logan's strength, she thought that they could gather dozens of people at most.After all, this matter was full of danger.But those in front of her probably numbered in the hundreds, even thousands.Seeing an impressed Molly, Mr. Ballar
Chapter 1875The next day, Molly recuperated in the bedroom.Sean was worried about her and specially worked in the bedroom.The three kids were also there.They joked or told interesting things from time to time. Molly was amused by them and wore a smile on her face all the time.Molly had persuaded Sean and thus was in a good mood.Within two days, she looked much better.Mr. Ballard, Logan, and the others were relieved and could go to do logistic work at ease.On the day when they set off, Molly saw them off at the door.She looked at them and reminded them carefully, “Please pay attention to your safety. If anything happens, contact us immediately.”Mr. Ballard urged Molly to return to the room, “I see. Don’t worry. You can return to your room and take a rest now. You haven’t totally recovered yet.”Logan and Lesley nodded and echoed, “Uncle Jordan is right. We will take care of Uncle Jordan.”Yolanda said, “Don’t worry. You will go to find us with Mr. Atherton soon.”
Chapter 1874The next morning, bright sunlight streamed in through the window and woke Molly up. She saw three little ones guarding her, staring at her with an intense gaze."Mommy, you're awake," they exclaimed happily."How do you feel, Mommy? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?"Molly's heart warmed at their care and she smiled gently. She raised her hand and rubbed their heads lightly, saying softly, "I'm fine. You don't need to worry."Sitting beside her, Sean watched the interaction between Molly and the children with tender eyes. He instructed the little ones, "You stay here with Mommy. I'll go get Jordan to check on her and have breakfast delivered.""Daddy, go ahead," the little ones replied, waving their hands without looking back.Sean left with a smile, and he soon returned with Jordan and Logan. Upon seeing Molly leaning against the bed, Brycen squeezed through the crowd to come to her side."Molly, it seems you are fine now!" he exclaimed with concern, his dark
