Just before the man pull the trigger, the unthinkable happened.
Bang!
Someone fired a shot from a distance.
The man’s eyes widened. He looked down to see a hole in his chest, and then he collapsed onto the floor and died!

Sir!



Song Shou cried with joy.
Everyone this way, the major general is here!

A huge commotion followed.
Approximately five hundred men gathered around, all looking relieved and overjoyed!
Song Shou walked to Huo Chen’s side. The smile on his face froze when he noticed the latter’s blank expression.

Sir, what is it?

Huo Chen did not reply. He stayed where he was and stared at the bottom of the cliff.
There was a gentle breeze in the air that failed to blow away his sorrow.
Song Shou had a bad feeling about this. He looked around and asked,
Where is your wife?

Finally, Huo Chen shuddered and slowly got up to his feet.
He shut his eyes and composed himself. When he opened his eyes again, they looked impassive once more.



Song Shou, take some men with you and search the bottom of the cliff, look into every nook and cranny! Once you find Wen He, report back to me immediately!


…
Song Shou was stunned for a moment before he replied,
Has she…

… fallen down the cliff?
Anyone who fell down from this height would surely die!

Get to it now!

Huo Chen threw a sharp, feral look at him with his bloodshot eyes. There was an air of deadly ferocity about him, like a demon that came from hell.

It’s because of your delayed rescue that this terrible thing has happened!

If only they had arrived just that one bit earlier.
Wen He need not have died!

Sir…



Even Song Shou was surprised by his savage look.

I’m sorry.
Realizing that he was overreacting, Huo Chen put a hand on his forehead and took a few deep breaths. Then, he waved.
Take the men with you.

Song Shou and the soldiers were not to blame.
He should have protected Wen He better.

Yes sir.

Song Shou saluted and was about to leave when he stopped and hesitated.
I’m afraid we cannot deploy too many men to look for your wife. We have exchanged fire with Sha Kang’s men in the past two days and both sides have taken damage. HQ wired us this morning with orders to leave the Golden Triangle as soon as possible, with or without you.

Z Country’s military had engaged with the other three countries more and more frequently and the overall situation had become tense.
They hoped to ease the situation before things take a turn for the worse.
After all, with the Blood Rose eliminated, they had achieved their objective.

I understand.



Huo Chen took in a deep breath. His expression was one of apathy, as was his wont.
Only his tightly clenched fists betrayed the disquiet in his heart.

Take fifty men with you for the search, the rest will come with me.

Huo Chen started to walk. His body radiated an unmistakable murderous intent.

All the organizations involved in the Golden Triangle must pay the price!


…

Song Shou shuddered at the sight of his superior’s vicious aura and followed behind him.
Huo Chen went to his men. He ignored his physical injuries and ordered them to split into two groups.
Song Shou led fifty men to the bottom of the hill to search for Wen He, while he led the rest of the soldiers. Huo Chen split his men into five groups to approach the center of the Golden Triangle from all sides.
Under his leadership, the well-equipped army of soldiers eliminated all the enemy forces that they encountered and ensured that no one escapes alive.
