My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1990

Hearing those words, Hogan's expression changed.

He looked at the senior officer mockingly, "False news? Do you think I'd bring a troop of people here just to have fun? If the news weren't true why would I want to bring everyone here!"

The official knew he was in the wrong, but he still he replied, "It's impossible for the kidnapper to have come to such a dangerous place."

"It's precisely because it's dangerous that they are here, all so they won't be discovered!"

The military officials were too scared to say anything.

Then, the official spoke again, "Mr. Welmert, radioactivity isn't something to joke about. Did you know that when Mount Sunder was under radioactivity, all the animals... mutated. A mouse can now grow bigger than a cat, a rabbit can have six legs and the citizens who lived near Mount Sunder all died within 5 years. The radioactivity is just..."

"So you're saying that we'll back out from saving Mr. Tremaine?" Before the high official could finish his words, he was interrupted by Hogan.

The official had no choice but to retort, "Mr. Welmert, if you can provide evidence that Mr. Tremaine is indeed here in Mount Sunder, then I'll assure you that we would all go in without any objection. But right now, there's no evidence to prove or show that Mr. Tremaine is indeed in Mount Sunder, and I feel like it isn't worth taking the risk."

With that, the high-ranking officials glanced at the surrounding officials.

Hearing what the official said, questioning looks began to arise in the rest of the officials faces.

Hogan sneered, "Useless wretches, what is the point of training all of you! I am old yet I am not afraid, what are you all scared of!"

After that, Hogan shouted, "Those who are willing and brave enough, follow me!"

Everyone was a little hesitant, but other than the three high-ranking officers, most of them followed Hogan into Mount Sunder.

Lessie untied Tremaine.

She had no worries at all.

Tremaine's shoulders were all sliced off, and his bones could be seen. Lessie believed Tremaine was weak and wasn't a threat at all.

Lessie's hands were shaking when she untied Tremaine.

Not because of Tremaine.

It was because of him.

Lessie told herself.

She was finally going to help him achieve his long-cherished wish.

His lifelong wish.

His wish that couldn't be fulfilled because of his death, but now, Lessie was one step closer.

Lessie's chest was surging with emotions.

If he knew about it, he would have been happy.

Just as Lessie was getting excited, she suddenly sensed something amiss.

Tremaine's eyes had changed.

His weak gaze suddenly became murderous.

By the time Lessie noticed, it was already too late.

A pistol was pointed at her forehead.

Lessie's eyes flashed with disbelief.

How did Tremaine do it?

His shoulders were all battered up. Not to mention his whole body, and his arm would be greatly affected as well. How could he grab a pistol at such a fast speed?

When 02 saw what happened, he quickly rushed towards Lessie wanting to rescue her.

Bang.

There was a gunshot.

The wolf fell to the ground.

02 noticed that the bullet was flying towards him and took cover by using the wolf as his shield. He ran away without leaving a trace.

That shot just now had made him realize that it was almost impossible for him to save Lessie. At that moment, escaping was the best chance of survival.

Tremaine ignored 02.

He didn't care.

His body was already heavily injured. Lessie was still there, and he wasn't able to control both her and the other man.

Tremaine looked at Lessie coldly, "I told you, I won't let anyone lay a hand on my woman."

Lessie held her breath.

She remembered what she'd said to Tremaine that day.

She said that after Tremaine died, she would catch his woman and make sure that she received the same treatment as Tremaine did.

Tremaine said it was impossible.

At that time, she was laughing at Tremaine internally.
