Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

“I’ve heard of this guy, Richard Lloyd, here. He has never followed any instructions,” one of the older team members piped up.

“If he had heeded instructions, then it would be virtually impossible for him to get to my rank at the age of twenty-six. Captain Anderson heaved a sigh. “Maintain constant contact with him. Perhaps he would be the key to this mission.”

“He must not get into any danger. Otherwise, it would be quite tough to explain things to the vice-president.”

“We’ve got to work seamlessly to support him. This brat is always causing trouble for me!” After Captain Anderson finished saying that, he instructed his subordinates to keep the communication system on the whole time and they were told not to miss out on any piece of information from Richard.

Amidst the flurry of gunshots, there was a figure bare-handedly climbing up the middle part of the cliff and he looked like a feral wolf as he inched closer silently.

Half an hour went by and the fleet of cars lying in ambush in the deep part of the forest was now covered in a thick layer of snow. Inside one of the vehicles, Captain Anderson kept his eyes on his subordinates and watched them tap away on their computers.

Finally, one of his subordinates turned to look at him with a resigned expression. “We haven’t been able to receive any information on Captain Lloyd. Perhaps he has switched off the communication system or there must be a transmission disruptor set up in the cave.”

“Darn it! Does that mean we won’t even know if he’s dead or alive?” one of the fiery-tempered team members cursed in a low voice.

“Don’t panic. I trust that Richard would not lose his life that easily. I have the utmost confidence in his capabilities.”

“But then, we’ve just experienced the other party’s artillery power and they’re very strong. They’ve also employed all of the finest mercenaries in their team, which is why we’re unable to approach them now.”

“We should have faith in Captain Lloyd and wait for news from him. Let’s come up with another tactical plan if he doesn’t end up contacting us.”

The gloomy and heavy clouds descended upon the area and the exterior part of the main cliff was covered in a layer of icy snow. Meanwhile, another flurry of heavy snowfall dawned from the sky.

Presently, the men in charge of guarding the entrance repeatedly cast breath on their hands to warm their palms and one of them was dunking the water bottle into his mouth.

However, he realized that the flask was empty, so he could not contain his irritation as he muttered angrily. Subsequently, he gestured to his teammate and lifted his flask to indicate that he was going inside to fetch some water after which his teammate nodded at him.

The man had just entered the cave when the other man standing guard instinctively started to move and stretch his muscles. As he felt a little rock hitting his head, he lifted his head to check on the situation before a dark figure suddenly plopped onto him from atop. Crack! The man had lost his life with a twisted neck.

His military coat and furry hat were swiftly removed by the mysterious man as the dead was rolled off the cliff like a sack of potatoes.

The thirsty teammate had just returned upon filling up his flask when he noticed the man standing awfully near to the edge of the cliff. Out of curiosity, he asked in Spanish, “What’s going on?”

Immediately after the next second, his mouth was muffled by a large palm and a sharp knife was swiftly plunged into his chest at lightning speed. His eyes widened as he tried to reach for his gun, but his hand dropped lifelessly halfway.

Subsequently, his body was rolled down the cliff silently like his teammate. The dim lights hit them and underneath the furry hat, it was the face of a handsome man.

The man had a tall nose bridge, his brows were deeply furrowed, and there was a dark expression in his eyes. With that, he was surrounded by a. sharp and cold aura.

Richard pressed down the edge of the hat and walked into the cave naturally. There was only one path to enter the cave and it gradually expanded as he walked inside. Finally, he arrived at a large cavity that could fit a hundred men.

The site had already been turned into a fully functioning living system and there were hundreds of mercenaries currently seated in groups as they chatted relaxedly with each other to kill boredom. Each of them carried weapons on them to handle any unforeseen circumstances.

Richard was strapping tall and he hid amongst the crowd dressed in the military coat and furry hat. He held the distinctive flask of this place in his hand as he naturally strode toward the area to fill his bottle. After filling it, he then headed in the other direction.

Since the cave was a highly defensive location to be attacked, the mercenaries were rather laid back. There was also plenty of food and wine inside the cave. Besides, they were paid very handsomely to guard this easy spot, so this had caused them to lower their guards.

Naturally, there was a disadvantage with employing mercenaries as they all had their own self-interests at heart, producing a group lacking team spirit. As soon as something went wrong, the situation would get out of hand in no time.

Richard glanced at a drunk soldier coming his way who then greeted him. He greeted back in the same hoarse voice before the soldier gave him some alcohol, complaining that the new batch of alcohol was awful.

Thanking him with a smile, Richard continued walking. His aim was not to get alcohol but rather to find the electrical sources. Finally, he stopped at a crossroads and stared at a door located there for a while before he walked over and knocked on it.

Someone opened the door before Richard said to him, “Fresh booze for delivery.”

The man inside immediately went on alert mode. He was in charge of the personnels stationed here and was responsible for all the surveillance equipment here. He was sure that he had never seen a guy with such facial features working here before.

In just the split second that their gazes met, Richard made the first move by hitting the man on the head. Before the person could even react, he had entered the generator room and locked himself in from the inside.

“Who are you?” The man bellowed while reaching for his gun, but Richard was faster than him. In order to stop the man from pulling the trigger, Richard sent a few punches his way. Since the man was already weakened by the initial attack, the consecutives punches made him all dizzy. as the final attack was aimed at his carotid artery by the bottle that Richard broke.

After the fight, Richard went to the generator and opened the screen door. Looking at the nest of wires inside, he slowly opened the kettle that he had and poured some water on them, causing electric sparks to occur everywhere. Then, the room descended into darkness.

Unlocking the door, Richard was greeted by pitch black darkness outside the room, as curses and sounds of people smashing things on the floor came from the hallway. Obviously, the soldiers were very upset about the sudden power outage.

Richard smiled as he fired a few shots into the main hall.

Screams of pain echoed around, all the soldiers in the dark took out their guns. In the darkness, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of the gunshot and the only thing that could be seen was all the gun sparks that occured each time someone pulled the trigger. The cave had become a slaughterhouse as everybody inside had lost all sense of direction and logic to the darkness.

The gun sparks kept appearing in the cave and all the screams of pain went on and on in the darkness. However, as time went by, there were lesser curses, questions and screamings of the soldiers could be heard. A sickeningly metallic scent of blood slowly wafted through the air which was so unpleasant that it could. make those who inhaled it puke.

Hiding behind a rock, Richard was silently observing the situation with a sharp and calm gaze.

Soon, the remaining soldiers came to the realization that the people around them were actually their allies and immediately stopped the fire. Yet, there were only around ten to twenty of them that were still alive.

So, they decided to regroup in the middle and form a circle, not knowing until now where the enemy was.

A gunshot then shattered their unity again. Following the gunshot was the person, who tried to command the entire team earlier, falling down. Instantly, a sea of bullets flew everywhere again.

The remaining survivors were soon reduced to five to six when bullets came flying from a spot in the dark, ending their lives with pinpoint accuracy.

Seeing this, the sole survivor put his arms behind his head and kneeled down in the pool of blood of his allies, surrendering.. He then looked up and saw a dark silhouette getting close to him. He had never been so afraid in his life.

It was then a sound came from the left side in the darkness, as the man did not even look before ending the surprise assailant with a single shot. Squatting down in front of the soldier, Richard asked, “Where’s Moccan Pierce?”

“H-H-He’s in the base behind us.”

After ending the soldier’s life, Richard looked like a man that came back from hell, as he walked out of the cave to be greeted by the sky with the dark clouds dispersed, shining a faint moonlight on his face.

Right then, he looked extremely terrifying with his gaze full of bloodthirst.
