She knew that in the near future, she would be living in long waiting days and worry. As long as he was away, she would not be able to feel at ease.

Angela took some time to recollect herself as she did not want to show her family members her anxiety. The last thing she wanted was for her parents to worry.

That afternoon, she received a phone call from Richard, informing that he was already on the plane. For the subsequent period of time, his phone would be switched off, so he wanted her to be at ease and wait for his good news.

Angela remained positive on the phone as she was confident that he would be back.

However, that night itself, she had trouble sleeping and she was up the entire night. She finally fell asleep in the morning and woke up in the afternoon. It was then she received a phone call from Scarlet, who invited her to go shopping with her in order to purchase some new clothes.

Angela was aware that Scarlet was just trying to fill up her void during this period.

As such, Scarlet’s car pulled over discreetly in front of Angela’s house. Since both families had not met each other before, Scarlet did not plan on entering the Meyers Residence as a guest. She picked up Angela and headed off to an exclusive shop in the town center. It was a relaxing afternoon with some teatime chit-chatting.

“Angela, don’t worry. Do you know what my son’s nickname is? Everyone addresses him as ‘Zeus’ because he is such a mighty and powerful figure, who never failed any of his missions. I’m sure that he will definitely succeed in this one and come back victorious too.”

As soon as Angela heard that, she felt much better than before as she nodded. “Yup, I trust him too.”

Truth be told, Scarlet was used to such anxiety as she used to worry about her husband the same way she worried about her son now.

“Oh, I have a god-daughter and I’ll introduce you guys to each other next time. She’s studying abroad and gaining a master’s degree in interpretation. She’ll be back soon.”

“That sounds great. I would love to get to know her. She must be very outstanding.

“Her parents are extremely close friends of ours and we have known each other for ages. They have been permanently stationed abroad for work, so this kid grew up by my side ever since she was a child. I regard her as my daughter.”

“Yea, I’ve heard about that from Richard.”

“Her name is Ruka Singed. You can call her Ruka.”

“She sounds like an adorable girl,” Angela replied with a smile.

“She’s two years younger than you and she’s indeed a wonderful girl,” Scarlet mentioned with a smile.

After their enjoyable afternoon tea, Scarlet sent Angela back home at about 5.00PM. Besides, she also reminded Angela to seek her out anytime to chat if she was feeling down in the dumps.

At that point, Angela felt her spirits lifted significantly and she knew that she should not continue to wallow in self pity. She had to keep her spirits up and wait for Richard to return.

He had an invincible presence in her mind, so she trusted that he would definitely be able to overcome everything.

Meanwhile, in a distant gorge far away from the town center of Lauchrist, several black-colored SUVS silently traveled through the forest in the dark. The cars in the fleet were covered with green fabric as camouflage and they were practically invisible to the eye.

“Send our striker team ahead to scout the route.” An instruction from their captain sounded through the headset.

At that moment, the car came to a halt and a young man sitting next to the captain opened the car door and alighted. Roy grabbed the man’s wrist. “Richard, why are you getting out of the car?”

“Captain Anderson, I’ll join the striker team.”

“Get back here immediately,” Captain Anderson instructed sternly. “You’re not allowed to go.”

“I know that you have received instructions from my uncle to keep me safe, but my job here is as one of your men and I’m not here to be protected.” Richard finished his words and struggled out of Captain Anderson’s grip before leaving the car.

Captain Anderson had no other choice and he could merely watch as the striker team disappeared into the dark.

“Captain Anderson, this mission is much more difficult than the others. I heard that there are a few hundred men guarding the place, so the chances of us succeeding in rescuing Professor Tesla are quite slim.”

“Professor Tesla must not end up in their hands.” There was a determined look in Captain Anderson’s eyes as he looked toward the darkened area in front. “Even if we end up with his dead body, we have to bring him back regardless.”

The stars in the sky were shrouded by thick clouds and the ground was rocky and uneven. There was a blanket of snow and the temperature on the ground was near zero. At that moment, several dark figures marched through the snow and their eyes were set on a cave with a slight glow not too far away from them.

The spot where the hostage was kept captive was a strategic cave that could be easily defended but hard to attack.

“Captain Lloyd, this is the furthest we can get. There are a few people standing guard, so we can only launch the drones.”

“Alright.” Richard nodded.

It was then that they launched the drone and it darted ahead like a black-feathered bird cruising silently in the dark. It arrived at the upper part of the cave and observed the terrain of the surroundings.

The drone hovered in the air and suddenly… Crack! The drone broke into pieces and disappeared down the bottom of the ridge.

“We’re exposed. We have to leave,” someone spoke in a low voice.

In the meantime, there were gunshots near the cave with a hail of bullets fired in their direction. The men on the snow covered ground quickly scrambled for cover.

“We’ve been exposed. Retreat.” The team leader gestured a retreat sign.

Instantly, every member heeded the instruction and retreated, but one of them remained in position.

“Captain Lloyd.”

“You leave.”

“Captain Lloyd, what are you trying to do? Retreat!”

However, Richard’s figure had disappeared in the snowy darkness despite the team leader’s instruction.

“He’s such a daredevil!” the team leader retorted in a huff as he led the team away temporarily.

The team leader then returned to the hiding spot of their main group. Inside the car, he had just taken a sip of warm water when Captain Anderson interrogated him, “Why isn’t Richard back? I told you to make sure you bring him back! Are you going against my order?”

“Captain Anderson, he is of the same rank as you and I’m just a little team leader. I wouldn’t be able to make him follow my instructions.” The team leader felt quite aggrieved.
