No, not in this lifetime, Ethan whispered to himself. He couldn’t bear the consequences of her leaving him. If he lost her, everything in his life would lose its meaning. “Josephine, I miss you,” Ethan murmured softly to the woman on the screen.
At this moment, someone was lurking in a cave outside the communication range of the base. They had come here with only one purpose-to kill Ethan.
“President Presgrave has instructed us to deliver results within a week. We must find an opportunity to carry out our mission.”
“As long as we complete this task, each one of us will receive 150 thousand. We must stay focused for the sake of the money.”
When they heard about the money, they felt a burst of energy wash over them as killing intent filled their eyes. Some photos were displayed on the adjacent wall, and at the forefront was their target, Ethan..
Underneath Ethan’s photo was a list of international engineers. There were too many people in this world whol would rather gamble their life away in pursuit of their own interests.
Ethan was just about to go to sleep when he heard a knock on his door. The identification system next to him showed that it was King, the chief engineer of his base. He opened the door and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Mr. Quarles, our system detected a faint signal, but it’s definitely not from our company. I suspect someone is approaching our base.”
“Can you pinpoint their exact location?” Ethan asked, his brows furrowed. This wasn’t the first time something like this had happened. On top of him facing two assassination attempts here, he had also gone through similar events throughout his life. He was adept at dealing with such situations.
