Chapter 339


    This area in the suburbs outside the city had been turned into a natural reserve some years ago. All of


    the inhabitants were moved a long time ago, so it became deserted over the years.


    Some old abandoned buildings could be seen through the rain. There were also some crows on old


    electric poles.


    Some noises could be heard amongst the thunder. It was like someone was setting off fireworks in the


    area. The noises were deafening.


    Continuous gunshots followed the noises. The sound of gunfire disrupted the peace of the woods.


    The underground base was thrown into chaos, and the speakers were ring “Warning, danger!” on


    repeat.


    Some giant screens revealed the situation outside. The base had been surrounded without their


    knowledge. Some drones wereying waste to the cameras outside. Static began to show up on the


    screens.


    All the doctors in thebs were alerted. They came out and began pacing, saying, “What’s wrong?


    What’s happening?”


    Most of the people in the base were bookworms who were obsessed with their research. They couldn’t


    hold their own in a fight. They had no life skills other than doing research.


    Amidst the chaos, a cold voice rang out. “Come with me. Evacuate from the secret passage.”


    Colin had a stormy expression. “They didn’t attack out of nowhere. This is a nned assault. They


    might be waiting for us at the end of the passage. Who’s able to evade all of our security cameras and


    find our location?”


    Colin finally realized that he had provoked a madman.


    His area of activity had long been under Ethan’s watchful eye, but he thought he had fooled Ethan. He


    was proud of it too. But his actions had brought disaster to the organization’s doorstep.


    “It’s toote for words now. I’ll lead a team to attract their attention. The rest of you escape while I keep


    them upied.”


    “Leo!”


    Colin stopped in his tracks. His face was calm under the mask, but his voice wasced with bloodlust.


    “I don’t have to be responsible for the murders Imit with this identity, right?”


    “There’s no need for that. We don’t need to confront them. Take the drug and leave with the others.”


    “I’m sorry, boss, but I’ll have to defy you on this.”


    Colin had spent enough time as a goody-two-shoes. He didn’t have to do that today.


    There would be no one to take Olivia from him after Ethan was dead. He deserved to die anyway.


    The quiet forest was in mes. The drones would fly over and open fire when they detected human


    activity. Some people didn’t even get the chance to get to cover. They died as soon as they emerged


    from the base.


    The members of Toxic Hive were researchers. Even though some mercenaries were in the base, they


    were heavily outmanned and outgunned by the special forces that came prepared.


    They were already surrounded.


    Several secret passages were made when the base was first built, Colin gave up the chance to


    escape. He knew that this was the best shot he had at killing Ethan.


    He had figured out Ethan’s approximate location before the cameras were destroyed. He got to the


    surface from another tunnel. It was the closest one to Ethan. It was the most dangerous ce and the


    safest one at the same time.


    Everyone had their focus on the area that was being bombarded. The sound of explosives drowned out


    everything else.


    Someone grabbed Colin before he could jump out.


    “Leo, it’s dangerous. Get out of here.”

    “I need to kill him. Give me ten seconds.”


    He could recognize Ethan’s back even amongst the group of people. Some mechanical animals


    carrying explosives appeared in the woods. They would explode immediately upon contact.


    The explosions kept going off.


    Brent said to Ethan, “It’s dangerous here. Let’s retreat.”


    The bombs would not discriminate against their targets. Ethan couldn’t afford to stay here any longer.


    Ethan andpany quickly retreated, leaving the professionals to do their jobs defusing the bombs.


    The group of people around Ethan was smaller. It was the best chance to take him out.


    As everyone was hiding, a bullet went straight for Ethan’s heart. He fell to the ground on the spot.


    Colin smiled when he saw Ethan copse.


    He thought he had killed the man who was haunting Olivia.
