Chapter 1055

"Will you let me go now?" Ariel asked. Of course, releasing him was out of the question. The thought did not even cross Adrian's mind. Gloria walked over and asked, "How many more men do you have on the island? Which organizations are they from?" Ariel answered honestly, "There aren't many of them left. Only two hundred from Bloody Rose and two hundred more from Black Nergal remain. I've lost contact with them, so I don't know where they are. You've already killed off the rest of them." He did not sound like he was lying. Gloria turned toward Adrian. "We need to make sure nothing goes wrong. There's a huge chance they’re on their way here. I'll have the others secure the parameter.” Adrian handed Ariel to Steel and clapped his hands. "Mya, have the others come over here right now. Tell them that the mission was a success. You're in charge of security when they all arrive." "Yes, sir." Mya nodded. Adrian then got off the plane, while Steel rendered Ariel unconscious before tying up the latter. Meanwhile, Mya said through the communicator, "Everyone, the mission is a success, and we've seized the plane with zero casualties. We've also got the guy from Eight Hollows under control. Get to the plane now. We're going home!" "We’re on our way!" Everyone hiding in the rainforest celebrated when they heard this, and the women were even dancing. When Lucas received the notification, he said, "Let's go, everyone! We're going home." "Yes, sir!" Everyone's spirits were lifted, the words "going home" made them extremely emotional. However, Mya reminded, "There are still around four hundred enemies left on the island, so stay sharp. Lucas, you need to remain alert at all times. Make sure none of our men are sacrificed along the way." "Roger that." Of course, they needed to remain alert and locate their enemies as quickly as they could. Lucas swiftly made the arrangements, which was going to be his last decision to make. *** Back on the plains, Adrian's right arm had started bleeding again when he got off the plane, which was painfully unbearable. However, such a level of pain came as no surprise to him. When Gloria followed behind, she said, "Adrian, your arm. It's—" "My arm's fine. We can tend to it after we get back. Right now, we've got one more risk to resolve," Adrian interrupted. "Are you referring to the four squads with the manual detonators?" Gloria asked. Adrian nodded. "Our survival is still at the mercy of others if we don't eliminate them. We need to kill them." "Do you have a plan?" Adrian picked up his communicator. "Crystal, were you listening to what Ariel said just now? Have you found the locations of the four detonators?" Back at Novemton headquarters, Crystal had already investigated the matter through their radar. "I managed to narrow down all four of them, but I don't know where they are specifically. I've made four markers on your communicators. The detonators will be somewhere within a one-kilometer radius." Crystal sent out four markers soon after that. When Adrian saw them, he said, "We'll have to send out four squads to each marker and eliminate our enemies as quickly as we can. There are still a number of men stranded on the island, so we may have to wait for a few more days for them all to arrive before we leave." "But your arm… Are you sure it can wait until then?" Gloria asked.
