Chapter 562 - Begging for Mercy (2/2)

Thomas had the cross he wore in a death grip, praying with no stop to the Lord. His face was completely drained of blood.

“Let you guys go?”

Xiao Luo laughed, mocking and cold. “I really do want to let you guys go, but you just insist on seeking death.”

As soon as he spoke, he swung an open palm down on Thomas’s head.

Thomas, who had been kneeling on the ground and muttering in prayer, died without even keeling. His body fell, ramrod stiff, and although Xiao Luo was enraged, he knew that Thomas had only played a small role, so he left the man’s corpse intact and made sure his death was painless.

“Ah!”

Driven by fear, Rice abandoned all thoughts and escaped.

A combat knife followed after him like a shadow and lodged into his back, and then came back out through his chest. At the same time the knife passed through his back and chest, it pierced through his heart as well. Rice fell bodily into the ground, blood pouring from his nose and mouth.

Xiao Luo did not pay any more attention to a man who would eventually die. He donned the SEAL camouflage uniform, got on the car, and set out towards the Mei army shore base.

…

…

Night fell. At the Mei army shore base, soldiers holding patrol lights were sweeping over every inch of the place like a radar.

There were two aircraft carriers here. Like Hua Nation, they were here to evacuate their nationals. The commander-in-chief here was a rear admiral. Currently, Sarah Michelle was locked in a heated debate over Xiao Luo with this rear admiral.

“Mr Mie is an assistant we Michelles hired from Hua Nation. If it weren’t for him, I would have died in the hands of the Khun Sa Mercenary Corps, and yet you want him dead. I’m going to sue you once we return, and that Captain Powell under your command!” Sarah’s emotions were out of her control. She just could not understand why the Mei army wanted to make an attempt on Xiao Luo.

“I’ve said before that this is something we absolutely have to do, Miss Sarah. There is absolutely no way that soldier by the name of Mie can be allowed to return to Hua Nation, or he’ll become a nightmare for us in the future,” the rear admiral explained with both hands behind his back.

“Nightmare? What do you mean ‘nightmare’? You lot have deluded yourselves into thinking Hua Nation is the enemy for too long, and that’s why you’re treating a Hua Nation soldier as a potential threat.”

“This is an issue of politics, and it’s only natural you wouldn’t understand, Miss Sarah. That’s enough already. I’ve explained all that I needed to. Please return and get some rest, Miss Sarah.”

Sarah grit her teeth. “I’ll make sure you’re brought to justice!”

“Then I shall wait,” the rear admiral said with a smile. The corners of his lips were twitching but he forced himself to remain calm.

Knock.

In this moment, there was someone knocking on the door.

“Who’s there?” the rear admiral asked rather impatiently.

There was no response, just more knocking.

“D*mn it, who is it?”

The rear admiral was fuming. He strode over to the door and was ready to viciously admonish the incompetent subordinate that was waiting outside, using them to vent all of the anger Sarah Michelle had hurled at him.

As soon as the door opened, a black muzzle was forced right against his head.

“Mr Mie?”

Sarah’s face was contorted with shock as she looked at the man holding the gun. No one would believe the man was here, not even God himself. This was the rear admiral’s office and there had been so many soldiers outside who were on guard or on patrol. Trying to infiltrate this place was even more difficult than trying to walk on water.
