Chapter 783 Haunting Us All The Time (Part One)
Sweating heavily, Mark sprinted in the Colonel''s direction. There had been another emergency. Being a
military man, he had experienced a lot of emergency situations like this one. He had also been trained
to perfection to always be prepared for such urgent events, but he still needed to pay careful attention
each time. Especially since he was Daisy''s entourage, the missions they epted were always
dangerous. Being an outstanding female officer and the youngest colonel in S city, Daisy was famous
for her bravery. She liked challenges, so she always forced herself to face more and more perilous
tasks. She tried her level best toplete them without considerations for her own safety. It had
gained her merits but also put her life under threat more times than she could count. Mark could never
be too careful when it came to the Colonel. Knowing her so well, he knew he needed to hurry or the
Colonel would be in danger again if he was even a minutete. On his way there, he heard a loud
gunshot echo through the hills. Mark started sweating profusely. His hair stood on end and his entire
body went rigid. The situation was worse than he had thought! The Colonel must be in extreme danger.
In the previous situations, Colonel had been harmed when he had not been there by her side. This
time, he couldn''t bear to think of her being injured again when he was so close. Besides, Edward''s
wrath would be impossible to take if he let his beloved wife get hurt again. So, despite the burning
sensation he felt because of the branches and thorns scratching against his skin, he kept running.
Several times, he almost stumbled due to the vines under his feet. Still he didn''t stop. He found the
Colonel eventually. This time at least, he could help her.
Daisy was soon finding herself in hot water. Danger seemed to surround her as the bullets kept
shooting at her from all directions. She had to change her hiding ces continuously in order to save
her life. Even though she had greatbating skills and was agile enough to change positions, the
bullets kept flying at her mercilessly. Even a small and nimble rabbit couldn''t have avoided being shot
by so many bullets under the circumstances. Several times, Daisy almost got shot. What was worse
was that she didn''t even have a weapon to fight back with. The only things she could do was find
covers, avoid the many bullets, and try to stay alive for as long as possible until Mark and the other
soldiers arrived to help her out of this situation.
"Colonel, are you all right?" asked Mark in concern. Finally, he managed to make his way to Daisy
when she was on the brink of exhaustion. Seeing that she was alright, he exhaled a breath in relief. He
tossed his pistol on the ground in front of Daisy so she was no longer empty-handed. Her fighting skills
could finally be used against these gunmen. It was time these drug traffickers saw her for what she
could do. Daisy could never be easily beaten.
"I''m fine. But their bosses have run away. I need to go after them right now. On my orders, issue the
highest alert level immediately! Make sure you capture all the drug dealers. Remember, don''t kill any of
them if not necessary,"manded Daisy quickly. With Mark there, she rolled over and got away
sessfully. She ran toward where Yama had gone. She must capture him immediately! If they
managed to escape, there would be endless troubles for the society, the country, and maybe even the
world.
Everyone raced against time. Every second counted in the situation. They were all gambling their
valuable lives in this fight. No one wanted to lose, because loss would result in their deaths. Knowing
how severe the consequences would be for the drug traffickers, Mark could doubtlessly tell that it would
be a ferocious fight. A fight with no mercy. So he chose to follow his Colonel closely, just in case she
needed any help if she went into trouble. The number of the drug dealers was not small and each one
of them had at least a gun in his hand. The Colonel might not be able to cope with all of them at once.
Even though she was excellent, she was still a human being with flesh and blood.
The mountain was covered with high grasses, branches, thorns and even vines. Thisplicated
topography was not expected by the drug traffickers, so they werergely slowed down by the natural
barriers. Apparently, they had not been trained to run or hide in the hills with so many obstacles, nor did
they know what to do in this situation except scurrying blindly. They were unprepared and taken
unawares in the emergency situation. On the contrary, Daisy had been trained hard for exactly these
kind of events: surviving in the wild, chasing opponents, dealing with gunmen, tracking and anti-
tracking, and so on. Fortunately, this big difference between their abilities and intelligence gave Daisy a
chance to catch up to them quickly.
"No one moves! Or I will fire my gun!" shouted Daisy. She had told herself that as long as these drug
dealers could be persuaded, she would not fire a shot arbitrarily to injure or kill any of them. Just like
the order she had given to Mark - there would be no killing unless there was no other choice. She knew
what the consequence would be after her shouting, but she still warned and persuaded the rebels not
to run further. However, the drug dealers didn''t give a hoot for what she yelled at them, they turned
around and fired their shots at her in turn.
It was obvious that these gunmen had no intentions to surrender easily. Daisy took a deep breath,
closed one eye to aim at her target and pulled the trigger without any hesitation. She was careful to
avoid shooting any vital parts of the enemy. Instead, she struck his right hand that was holding the
pistol to make sure he would not pick up a weapon to attack or threaten a life again.
Coming from behind Daisy, Mark was not bad either. As several guns dropped from the drug dealers''
hands, he shot down some more of them. Coordinating perfectly with each other, in moments Daisy
and Mark had shot everyone except Yama. The hit gunmen fell onto the ground holding their injured
hands, howling painfully. There was nothing else they could do. However, while Yama stood in front of
them, Shura was long gone. Presumably, he had run in the other direction.
"Mark, is it okay for me to leave this here for you? Can you handle this?" asked Daisy. Her entire body
was covered with weeds and mud. Daisy could not be described as elegant in that moment. However,
she held a different type of countenance. She might be beautiful, iron-strong and powerful, but none of
these words would be urate enough to describe her. Perhaps, one could only say that she looked
proud and mighty like a goddess.
"Yes, Colonel! You be careful too!" answered Mark in affirmation. He didn''t care to pay much attention
to a drug trafficker, but the safety of his Colonel was of the highest priority.
"Of course! I know how to protect myself. I''ll be careful," replied Daisy, assuring him. She didn''t want
him to worry too much about her. She followed a path in a different direction to see if she could find
Shura. She could tell without even taking a look at herself that there were a lot of small wounds on her
body - lesions that were scratched and stabbed at by the thorny vines. She deeply felt the prickling
sensation on her skin, especially since she was sweating heavily. The salt from her sweat increased
the pain even more. Ignoring the ufortable feeling, Daisy focused on the task at hand. In any
case, these were just minor wounds that were neither serious nor too important. She had experienced
more severe ones before. As a military officer, she was used to them. It was part and parcel of her job.
