Chapter 557 - : Large-Scale Explosion (2/2)

Everyone was slightly stunned. “Mr. Mie will definitely return. Nothing will happen to him. Even the Khun Sa Mercenary Corps could not handle him, and there’s no way the Libyan rebels are any more powerful than them!” Sarah replied with a resolute gaze.

“I’ll admit that Mie is extremely powerful. He’s like a one-man army. But this is one of the Libyan rebel’s strongholds. He’s drawn all the firepower to himself, and even if he were Superman, there’s no way he would be able to survive such intense firepower,” Mina said.

Silence. Everyone chose to remain quiet!

It was just as Mina said—the chances of Xiao Luo’s survival were dismally slim.

“Damn it, why did I always insist on opposing that Hua Nation guy? In a moment as crucial as this one, he stepped forward and volunteered to draw all the enemy fire to himself. It shows the indomitable will of the Hua Nation. I owe that man an apology!” Rice said. He deeply regretted his past words and actions.

“The people of Hua Nation have this Buddhist saying, ‘who will enter hell if not me?’ Mr. Mie is the very embodiment of this saying!” Thomas pitched in.

He was already quite impressed by how honorable Xiao Luo was, and all his misgivings and prejudices towards the man had faded away.

Powell said in his low drawl, “Personally, I hope he doesn’t die, but on a national level, I hope he does.”

Upon hearing this, everyone stared at him, wide-eyed and with a look of shock.

Powell ignored their change of expression. He continued, “We’ve all seen how powerful of a fighter he is. I can say with no hesitation at all that, even if we were to comb through the whole of the SEAL squad and pick the best of our soldiers, they would undoubtedly lose to him. If our two countries were to go to war with each other, this sort of person would be a nightmare. I don’t know how the Hua Nation managed to train such a war machine, but they definitely won’t have too many of them there. So if he dies, this would be something worth celebrating for us, and not—”

“Enough!” Sarah broke in resentfully. She glared at Powell. “Captain Powell, you once said that we’re all brothers-in-arms, that we’re all comrades, and this is how you treat your brothers-in-arms, your comrades? If I were Mr. Mie, I would definitely be disappointed, and it would affect my impression of the Mei Nation.”

Powell did not refute her statement. He knew that, no matter what he said, nothing would change Sarah Michelle’s view. After all, the Michelles had always been friendly with the Hua Nation. But they were different. They were soldiers, and the things they considered were naturally not something a civilian like Sarah would understand.

BOOM!

At that moment, a deafening explosion rang out from the center of the small town.

The entire town shook. Scarlet flames were flickering from within the thick billowing smoke that was rising high up into the sky. Even from such a distance away, the party could feel the shockwave of the impact from the blast.

“What happened? Why was there such a large-scale explosion?” Thomas asked, looking in shock at the smoke billowing from the center of the small town. Powell and the other four got up to observe immediately.

“You don’t think the rebels’ ammunition depot blew up, do you?” Rice volunteered a guess.

As soon as he spoke, there was another explosion. The small town shook violently again.

Powell furrowed his eyebrows. There was no doubt that this was Xiao Luo’s doing. Did the guy perish along with the soldiers?

With such a massive explosion like this one, it was difficult for one to escape from the blast radius on their two feet. They could feel their faces heating up even from such a distance, and that was enough evidence of the size of that explosion.
