Chapter 1179


    Chapter 1179 A Desperate Battle


    Sabrina wanted very much to go find out who was actually in there, but she had her daughter to think


    about. In the end, she decided to y nice and follow Daghan’s henchman over to one of the other


    cabins.


    In the dead of winter, the searing winds inside the forest chilled her to the bone. It was pitch-ck, so


    much so that she could not see her fingers in front of her, and the way the howls of various animals


    echoed made one’s skin crawl.


    Consumed by anxiety about what might happen in the night and whether Jaena would catch a cold in


    this freezing weather, Sabrina held her daughter close and kept vigil over her.


    It was around two past the witching hour when signs of activity arose while she was inside the cabin.


    She had nearly nodded off with her baby in her clutches while she clung to the warmth emanated by


    the firece to her side.


    “He’s here! He’s here!”


    When her handler rushed out of Sabrina’s cabin, the startled woman immediately mbered off the


    floor with her baby.


    Through the windows, she saw that the gang hade to life. Some seemed to be preparing


    weapons, while others handled items that emitted a reddish glow. Unfortunately, it was not apparent to


    her what they were doing.


    But those were not the worst of all. While she waited till they were almost out of sight, the doors to that


    illuminated cabin opened up. From where she was, she was able to spot the LED disys that lined


    the walls inside.


    Projected on them were various forms of data and surveince footage.


    What is that? A control room?


    It urred to her that this was no deserted forest but a ce that had already been converted into their


    base camp. This revtion caused her to quiver inside the cabin.


    Those b*stards!


    Meanwhile, Edmund had indeed arrived and also forayed into this mountainous area.


    However, he did not head straight for the hintend. Instead, he made a stopover at a chosen location


    and subsequently went on to activate a button on his wrist in the darkness.


    A few minutester, scores of dark figures emerged spryly from the shadows at the foot of the


    mountain and swiftly surrounded him.


    “Major!”


    “Hold nothing back in this mission, gentlemen, and take no prisoners. Remember that those you’ll be


    facing are nomon enemies. Do not indulge yourselves in battle too much. Be sure to employ your


    most efficient killing methods!”


    Edmund regarded each and every one of these elite soldiers whom he had trained and issued them


    their final instructions.


    Secondster, they dispersed, and Edmund started to forge his way toward the hintend.


    In spite of the knowledge that there were others who had been sent to protect that mother and


    daughter pair prior to his arrival, he was preupied with concerns about their safety. Being more


    distracted than usual, he failed to even notice Sebastian’s iing message.


    Whoosh!


    He dodged the first steel de hurled at him before he swiftly snagged it by its point.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    However, he was still a few seconds slower than usual.


    “Just as I thought. You’re not Benedict Cooper’s son!” his opponent gleefully shouted after witnessing


    the finesse of his skills.


    Edmund Cooper… Or should I say, Devin Jadeson!


    With his counterpart’s steel de nipped between his fingers, he sneered. “You’re right about that, but


    unfortunately, this knowledge isn’t going to be of any use to you.”


    “Why so?” asked the stumped man.


    Devin made subtle adjustments to firm up his grip on the de. “It is because the one who stands


    before you is the highestmanding officer of this country’s most elite special forces. Should he


    choose not to spare you today, you can forget about walking out of this forest alive.”


    A cold glint then shed across his eyes.


    That man had not even time to react before his throat was shed wide open by the steel de that


    once belonged to him, with blood gushing out of it.


    In the darkness, he slinked to the forest floor, making throaty gurgles with his eyes peeling impossibly


    wide until death finally took him.


    As it turned out, the highestmanding officer of the most elite special forces was truly a force to be


    reckoned with.


    The fallen man did not even realize how his weapon was turned against him. How is it possible that we


    never knew how formidable these militarymanders are?


    He was unable to die in peace.


    Nheless, Devin disregarded him. Afterpleting the kill, he chucked the steel de aside and


    lifted the corpse to the side before he resumed his advancing.


    Only this time, he ran into trouble sooner than he had anticipated in the form of red lines running across


    his path ahead.


    Lasers? Ha. The Coffee Shop is by no means a pushover.


    He stopped to pull out a silver box which he opened up. From it, he retrieved a tube containing some


    blue fluid and tossed it out before raising the muted gun in his hand.


    Boom! Boom!


    It was like the dance of spontaneous fireworks.


    After that tube was shattered in mid-air by his bullet, countless blue-colored beads rained down on the


    red lines. When they came into contact, the lines vaporized and vanished into thin air.


    Astonishing!


    Inside the cabin at the hintend, the one who was monitoring the surveince unit was left ck-


    jawed when he witnessed this.
