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
