The personnel in front only noticed the dead staff when they arrived at the signal center half an hour


    later. They immediately reported the incident to King, who was the chiefmander. “What did you


    say? They’ve all been killed? By whom?”


    “There are some footprints at the scene, and these footprints disappear at the entrance of the cave.


    Chief Commander, these people have also gone underground. Surely they are not. targeting Mr.


    Quarles?!”


    King’s face turned grave. These people were most likely the ones they had detected through the


    external signals the previous night. He instantly realized that they might be responsible for this disaster.


    Not only that, Ethan was their target.


    “Quick… Quickly contact the nearest rescue team and request immediate reinforcements. We’vee


    in contact with enemy forces,” King urgentlymanded. It seemed that relying solely on the base’s


    rescue efforts was no longer sufficient; they needed to deploy more rescue personnel.


    His greatest concern was Ethan’s safety. Since he hadn’t had a chance to learn about everything that


    had transpired, it was too dangerous for him to be inside the cave at this moment.


    Suddenly, a loud explosion as if something had detonated underneath came from underground. The


    terrifying tremors proceeded to knock King to the ground. He crawled on the floor and shouted in


    distress, “The president is in danger!”


    All rescue operations immediately came to a halt. But strangely enough, due to the earthquake-like


    tremor, some rocks blocking the cave entrance rolled away, revealing a passageway.


    “Chief Commander, good news! The earthquake just now opened up the cave entrance. We only need


    to wait a little longer before we can go down and rescue them.”


    “Quick, prepare yourselves to go in for the rescue,” King instructed. He then grabbed someone next to


    him. “Assign four people to me. I’m going to the back mountain to take a look.”

    After reaching the back mountain, King was left dumbfounded. The cave entrance, which had been


    smooth just moments ago, was nowpletely blocked by the snow that had fallen from above. The


    entrance was nowhere to be seen.


    “Mr. Quarles!” Startled, King fell to his knees with his hands covering his face, his mind nk. He was


    at a loss for what to do in this situation. He didn’t even have a rescue n, and he had no idea about


    the situation or if there had been a copse below. How were the people trapped inside supposed to


    survive?


    “Mr. Ethan! Mr. Ethan!” Jacques ran over from behind. His eyes nearly popped out, and he almost


    fainted from shock when he saw the situation in front of him.


    “How could this happen? King, you have to save Mr. Ethan!” he shouted at King, who was standing


    there as a feeling of helplessness filled him.


    Half an hourter, the more than twenty trapped miners in the mine were rescued, none of them with


    serious injuries. Meanwhile, arge-scale rescue team had been contacted to conduct and rescue


    for Ethan and his group.


    King was anxiously wiping away his cold sweat, while Jacques held his phone, taking deep breaths but


    hesitated to call the Quarles Family. The plight before their eyes was too despairing.


    The entire cave entrance was buried deep in snow, and even if they wanted to dig through it, it was


    already beyond the best time to rescue the people underneath. Moreover, they had no idea about the


    condition inside the cave. Now that there had been an earthquake and an avnche outside, no one


    could imagine what was happening inside the cave.


    “Mr. Ethan must be alive. He must be alive,” Jacques repeatedly reassured himself. King soon turned


    to him. “Jacques, quickly contact the people from the Quarles Family. We must let them know about the


    current situation.”


    “But…how can I contact them? We don’t even know if Mr. Ethan is safe or not. We will only give his


    family a fright.” “Jacques, calm down. We need someone from the Quarles Family toe here.” King


    shook Jacques by the arms forcefully. He knew that neither of them could shoulder this responsibility.


    “O-Okay. I will call Mr. Edward right away.” After saying that, Jacques walked in a certain direction and


    dialed Edward’s number with trembling hands after distancing himself a bit.


    “Jacques! Did something happen?” A dignified elderly male voice rang out from the other end of the


    call. “B-Bad news, Mr. Edward. Mr. Ethan is in trouble!” Jack stammered.
