Chapter 2638


    Richard couldn’t resist turning Shirley’s down. Still, he had to set some ground rules as he spoke


    sternly, “Fine, on two conditions. Once we’re there, you are not to leave my sight and will stay close to


    the team.” “Understood, Mr. Lloyd.” Shirley immediately transformed into one of her father’s


    subordinates and saluted.


    Richard and his daughter boarded the helicopter. Aplete set of gear was immediately provided to


    her, and she wasted no time putting it on. At this moment, she wished desperately that she could


    teleport herself to that ind.


    As they approached the ind, the shes of explosions became more visible and audible. There was


    no doubt that the battle was a difficult one, and everyone involved had no intention of leaving until the


    other was pronounced dead on the battlefield. Besides, they had heard through credible sources that


    the opposing side had hired several mercenaries to the ind to engage in a gunfight with Zacharias’


    men.


    Richard hadn’t anticipated this audacity from the prey that dared to confront Zacharias’ people. So, he


    was thankful he had listened to Shirley’s suggestion to make this trip. Otherwise, how could he tell his


    beloved daughter that something awful had happened to Zacharias?


    So, he apanied his daughter to rescue Zacharias.


    “Dad, please be careful too.” Shirley worried not only about Zacharias but also about Richard.


    “Nixon, take Shirley and take this road.” “Don’t worry, Mr. Lloyd! Leave it to me. I’ll make sure Miss


    Lloyd stays safe.” Shirley nced at her phone and was just about to send a message to Zacharias


    when she realized that there was no signal on the ind.


    She immediately turned to Richard and informed him, intoning seriously, “Dad, themunication here


    has been intercepted and cut off. This ce has be aplete warzone.” Richard immediately


    whisked out his phone and attempted to use satellite signals. s, all his efforts were futile, as the


    results only confirmed his daughter’s spections. Hence, he quickly understood that they had all


    underestimated the adversaries Zacharias was battling against.


    The opposing force had somehow managed to control the entire ind and had established a powerful


    signal jamming field that disrupted allmunications.


    “Shirley, be careful. Stick with Nixon and the others. Don’t venture out alone.” “Okay. I’ll find Zacharias.


    We’ll rendezvous at this drop site once I do,” Shirley said as Richard was heading toward the side


    where the gunfight was going strong.


    She and her father had no choice but to part ways now that the battle wasn’t looking great. At this


    moment, Zacharias’ forces were engaged in a battle with the opposition on the eastern side of the


    ind. Her mission was to find Zacharias, while Richard’s mission was to join the gunfight.


    Zacharias was currently stuck in a cave. Just moments ago, the Minister of Security had betrayed him.


    He hadn’t expected that one of the elders he trusted the most would end up colluding with the


    opposition.


    “Mr. Flintstone, we were careless. Who would have thought even the minister…” Freddie punched a


    rock as he was deeply disappointed by this elder he had respected greatly.


    Zacharias’ eyes shed with anger. “We underestimated them. These people are everywhere. It’s no


    wonder that they could get their hands on the highest ranking officials.” “Mr. Flintstone, there’s no


    signal, and we can’t contact any outside support.


    We’re stranded and alone. Now, it’s all up to us if we want to get ourselves out of this ce,” Freddie


    said while changing a magazine. “Even our bullets are running low. I’m not sure how long they’llst.


    Zacharias patted him on the back. “We’ll fight them to the end. Even if we don’t make it back alive, we


    should never yield to the likes of those scum.” Freddie, who was encouraged, nodded in agreement.


    “Mr. Flintstone, I’ll ensure your safe return even if it costs me my life.” Zacharias was touched as he


    chuckled. “If you have a chance to escape, take it.


    Don’t worry about me.” “No way. Miss Lloyd is waiting for you. Mr. Flintstone, you need to get out of


    here,” Freddie said, trying to motivate him.


    Zacharias smiled with a touch of bitterness and regret in his eyes. “If I never get to be with her in this


    life, I suppose I’ll have to wait for the next.” Just as Zacharias wasmenting the cruelty of Fate, Roy


    rushed into the cave while clutching his injured arm. “Mr. Flintstone, a few helicopters justnded on


    the ind. It seems like reinforcements have arrived.” “But… we can’t call for reinforcements, so who


    could it be?” Freddie blurted in surprise.


    “I don’t know, but someone joined the gunfight. They looked like military personnel from our side, Roy


    reported.


    Zacharias’ pupils were slightly dted as his heart started pounding. Although he had his suspicions


    about who those people were, he hoped with all his heart that it wasn’t who he was thinking of.


    Richard had promised to take her away. There was no way he would allow her to return. Therefore,


    there was definitely no chance Richard would bring his daughter to the battlefield.

    “Who could it be?” Freddie spected. This team was arranged by Mr. Watts, and they had no means


    to contact reinforcements. So, who would suddenly join the battle?
