Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
In the presidential palace…
When Borg and Eric arrived at the palace, they first checked the surroundings.
After observing for a while, they found that there wasn’t a lot of security outside, and the rebel force wasn’t very large. There weren’t many people guarding the presidential palace where the hostages were imprisoned.
The two of them came here mainly to rescue the people. Fighting wasn’t the first task, so after discussing their roles, they each took action.
Borg was responsible for attracting the firepower, while Eric was responsible for rescuing.
After the plan was made, the two of them decided to gather at this place once the mission was completed.
After checking the time, Borg immediately made his move. Soon, he found a target and rushed over. He instantly cut open the opponent’s neck with his trusty silver dagger.
Then, he snatched the gun from his opponent’s hand.
After taking the gun, he didn’t waste any more time. He aimed at two patrolling mercenaries and shot them.
The death of the two mercenaries immediately alerted the other mercenaries in the presidential palace. Soon, more people rushed out.
When they rushed over, Borg began to assassinate them.
Just as they were about to shoot, Borg’s bullets sent them to hell.
After several people died, the mercenaries immediately sent out more people.
Seeing the mercenaries leaving the presidential palace, Eric quickly climbed up and sneaked in.
When he arrived at the room where the hostages were imprisoned, he killed the guards at the door. Then, he quickly changed his clothes, put on their uniform, and sneaked in.
When he entered, he quickly found a group of hostages. They were all squatting on the ground, and three soldiers with guns were looking at them.
Without much hesitation, Eric pretended to greet them, attracting the attention of one of the soldiers. When the soldier raised his head and looked at Eric with a puzzled look, Eric cut his neck with a knife, then, he immediately fired at the other two soldiers who were guarding the room.
The bullets hit their bodies. Before they could say anything, they were dead!
“Ah!”
“Don’t kill me. Don’t kill me!”
“Please, don’t kill us!”
The sound of gunshots immediately caused the hostages to panic. Some of them screamed in panic, some sat on the ground, not daring to raise their heads, and some knelt on the ground and prayed.
In just an hour, they had lost their psychological defenses.
“I’m an American soldier. Don’t panic. Everyone, be quiet. I’ll get you out of here!”
Seeing the chaotic scene, Eric took off his hat and spoke to the group of people in English.
When he finished speaking, the people quieted down. They looked at Eric in disbelief.
They could not hold back the excitement in their hearts. One by one, they stood up and spoke.
“Quiet, everyone! Be quiet!”
Eric immediately shouted at them to keep quiet! If they were discovered by the people outside, it would be very hard for them to evacuate.
“Dad!” a clear voice shouted.
Hearing this voice, Eric was shocked! It was his daughter, Linda!
Linda rushed out of the crowd and ran towards Eric.
Seeing that his daughter’s face was covered in dust, Eric’s heart trembled.
“Why are you here? Don’t you know how dangerous this place is?”
Soon, another voice spoke up. A delicate-looking woman came to Eric’s side. She also had a sobbing tone, but she was more worried.
“Don’t worry about me. We came with a plan. This time, we’re here to rescue you!”
After discovering that his wife and daughter were fine, he felt relieved. At the same time, he felt that the burden on his shoulders had become heavier. If anything happened, he wouldn’t be able to bear it!
After comforting everyone, Eric looked out of the door and saw the situation outside through the crack.
There were very few people outside now, and the gunshots from before had disappeared.
Thus, after Eric saw this, he quietly prepared to leave with everyone.
He didn’t know if this group of people were lucky or not, but there wasn’t a single mercenary on the way out of the presidential palace.
Outside, a scene that shocked Eric came into view…
He saw corpses lying around the presidential palace’s grounds. All these people were killed by headshots.
Seeing such a terrifying scene, many people vomited.
And near the presidential palace, a young man was smoking as if he was waiting for a friend.
After Eric saw Borg, he quickly led the crowd towards him. Eric didn’t say a word. The two of them just nodded and prepared to leave.
The hostages didn’t find anything strange. They thought that the rest of the mercenaries were inside the presidential palace and didn’t come out. What they didn’t know was that the team that invaded the palace had been exterminated.
The person who exterminated the team was the person in front of them!
Without the threat of the mercenaries, they all quietly left.
At that moment, a masked girl covered in dust crept out of a dark corner. She was dazed, confused.
“Dad?”
After observing for a while, she approached the group of people and finally opened her mouth to speak.
That was because she realized her dad was in the crowd and his body was stained with blood, as if he was injured…
His entire body was covered in dust, dirt and blood, and he looked no different to a refugee.
So, when the young girl saw this, she immediately rushed over to them.
When Eric saw the person rushing over to them, he raised his gun and aimed it her! No matter who it was, they had to be careful!
When Borg noticed the girl, he immediately cursed, “F*ck!”
With just one glance, he realized that this person was his daughter! It didn’t matter that she was wearing a mask…
So, in the next moment, he said to Eric, “Don’t expose my identity! And don’t shoot!”
Then, he turned to Judith and said pitifully, “Who are you?”
Borg looked very timid and scared, and his eyes were full of panic.
From this point of view, he had no doubt been caught up in this chaos.
When Judith saw this, her eyes immediately turned red, and tears almost fell.
She thought that her father must have come here to surprise her. And he had delayed the journey so he could sleep in.
But now, because of the rebellion in this country, her father had fallen into a mess the moment he arrived! He had even nearly lost his life! And he didn’t seem to recognize her… Probably because she was wearing a mask.
All of this was because of her wilfulness, which was why she had insisted on pestering her father to come here.
And now, seeing him in such a sorry state, Judith felt very sorry for her father.
When she thought about the danger her father was in, Judith felt extremely guilty. She even wanted to cry.
However, she knew that she couldn’t let her father find out that she was an assassin. Therefore, she suppressed the pain in her heart and forcefully changed her voice.
“I’m an American agent. I’m here to help you guys leave this place!”
Borg almost laughed out loud when he heard that.
How come he didn’t know that Judith had become an agent? She even had to help others?
After she said that, and before Eric could say anything, Borg whispered in his ear, “Continue with the act!”
Hearing Borg’s words, Eric had no choice but to continue playing along with them.
“I’m an American soldier. I welcome your help!”
