At this moment, two outsiders were blending in with the crowd of rescue teams. However, everyone was so focused on the rescue that they were oblivious to the duo’s presence. Their eyes fixed on Ethan in the snowy field revealed their murderous intent.
“Mr. Quarles, the situation is worse than anticipated. There are over twenty people trapped below. We must set off explosives to make a path, but it may trigger other reactions. Because of that, we haven't decided on what to do next.” “Assess and execute the most favorable plan,” Ethan commanded.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yes, Mr. Quarles.” As Ethan took a deep breath, the bright white snow reflected on his handsface, making his calm and composed demeanor stand out. “Mr. Quarles, there's a natural cave entrance on the back mountain. We can enter from there, but we aren't entirely sure if it's safe. We dare not go in recklessly.” Ethan, who had many years worth of exploration experience, was perhaps more qualified than the engineers here. He turned to his assistant, Jacques, and ordered, “Jacques, please geta set of equipment.” Jacques’ face paled with fear. “Mr. Ethan, you can’t go in there.” “It’s urgent. We can’t afford to worry about everything now. There are over twenty lives in there waiting forto rescue them.” Ethan only made this decision after careful consideration. “But-" “No buts. Hurry, Ethan instructed in a low voice. Reluctantly, Jacques and one of the bodyguards went to retrieve the expedition. equipment. Meanwhile, the chief engineer, King, took the opportunity to advise Ethan, “Mr.
Quarles, you don’t have to walk into danger yourself. Please let the rescue team handle the rescue mission. You are too important to do something like this.” “I have eight years of experience in exploration. | am more capable of handling unexpected events than anyone here. I'm going in, Ethan insisted. King felt deeply moved when he heard that. This was the most humane employer he had ever worked for.
“In that case, please be careful, Mr. Quarles. I will oversdBhe rescue on land.” Jacques soon brought two sets of equipment over, to which Ethan frowned after examining them. “You're going in too?” “Wherever you are, I'll be there, Mr. Quarles.” Jacques huffed, “I can’t leave you alone.” Ethan, however, spoke in all seriousness. ‘You don’t have the experience in this. You can’t go in. Stay here.” Jacques was sullen after hearing that.. However, the bodyguard beside him took the equipment out of his hands.
“I' will go with Mr. Quarles.” Six other bodyguards behind him had already prepared their equipment. They were Ethan's accompanying team.
When two men hiding not far away watched as Ethan prepared to go in for the rescue, they exchanged glances with a hint of delight in their eyes.
They had finally waited for the perfect opportunity. Ethan would personally participate in the rescue mission for the disaster that was actually the two men’s doing. They had installed a powerful explosive at the entrance of the cave, causing it to collapse..
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTheir initial plan was to draw the main forces of the base to this location so that it would be easier for them to assassinate Ethan if he remained in the base. They hadn't anticipated that Ethan would personally participate in the rescue.
Even though Jacques was worried, he knew he couldn't persuade Ethan. He could only step forward and remind, ‘Mr. Ethan, please be careful. You must cout immediately if it gets dangerous.” “I know,” Ethan replied. He was aware that this rescue mission carried risks, but there were over twenty workers still trapped underground. He wanted to help as long as he could be of assistance.
Over twenty people set off from the rear cave entrance for the rescue. They took the lead and entered the cave, while Ethan, accompanied by the six bodyguards, descended into the cavern using a suspension rope.
The main rescue efforts were focused in front. At the cave entrance, four engineers and two assistants remained on guard. They had set up a communication station to maintain contact with the people inside the cave.
However, four men suddenly approached the six of them 15 minutes later. Just as the latter were about to question their identities, silenced bullets instantly took their lives. “Get in,” the leader of the men commanded.
“Our target is Ethan Quarles. Kill him.” Subsequently, more than ten people equipped with ropes emerged and leaped down the cave, This was both a rescue mission and a murder plot.
