Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2224

At this moment, two outsiders were blending in with the crowd of rescue teams. However, everyone was so focused on the rescue that they were oblivious to the duo’s presence. Their eyes fixed on Ethan in the snowy field revealed their murderous intent.

“Mr. Quarles, the situation is worse than anticipated. There are over twenty people trapped below. We must set off explosives to make a path, but it may trigger other reactions. Because of that, we haven’t decided on what to do next.”

“Assess and execute the most favorable plan,” Ethan commanded.

“Yes, Mr. Quarles.” As Ethan took a deep breath, the bright white snow reflected on his handsome face, making his calm and composed demeanor stand out. “Mr. Quarles, there’s a natural cave entrance on the back mountain. We can enter from there, but we aren’t entirely sure if it’s safe. We dare not go in recklessly.”

Ethan, who had many years worth of exploration experience, was perhaps more qualified than the engineers here. He turned to his assistant, Jacques, and ordered, “Jacques, please get me a set of equipment.”

Jacques’ face paled with fear. “Mr. Ethan, you can’t go in there.”

“It’s urgent. We can’t afford to worry about everything now. There are over twenty lives in there waiting for me to rescue them.” Ethan only made this decision after careful consideration. “But-”

“No buts. Hurry, Ethan instructed in a low voice. Reluctantly, Jacques and one of the bodyguards went to retrieve the expedition. equipment. Meanwhile, the chief engineer, King, took the opportunity to advise Ethan, “Mr. Quarles, you don’t have to walk into danger yourself. Please let the rescue team handle the rescue mission. You are too important to do something like this.”

“I have eight years of experience in exploration. I am more capable of handling unexpected events than anyone here. I’m going in, Ethan insisted. King felt deeply moved when he heard that. This was the most humane employer he had ever worked for.

“In that case, please be careful, Mr. Quarles. I will oversee the rescue on land.” Jacques soon brought two sets of equipment over, to which Ethan frowned after examining them. “You’re going in too?”

“Wherever you are, I’ll be there, Mr. Quarles.” Jacques huffed, “I can’t leave you alone.” Ethan, however, spoke in all seriousness. ‘You don’t have the experience in this. You can’t go in. Stay here.”
