The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1563

With absolute silence radiating from the military vehicle, the operatives outside were growing dangerously impatient.

"What's the matter? I thought the Solenia military prided itself on protecting civilians."

"All you have to do is hand over one woman, but you're perfectly willing to let an innocent man die?"

As the operative shouted, he drove his combat boot down brutally onto the shepherd's injured hand.

"Argh!"

The shepherd let out a blood-curdling scream.

"I'm going out there!" Hearing the civilian's agony, Sergeant Wu couldn't take it anymore.

Dane grabbed his shoulder. "Stepping out there right now is suicide."

"What else can we do? I can't just sit here and watch a civilian get executed!"

Sergeant Wu gripped his sidearm, the veins on his hand bulging with fury.

Wang was bleeding out, the shepherd was being tortured, and he was supposed to just hide in the car?

These mercenaries were after Claire. If he went out there while she was operating on Wang, he could at least buy them some time.

He might even stall long enough for backup to arrive!

"They only want Claire. You sacrificing yourself achieves absolutely nothing."

Outside, the operative ground his boot harder into the shepherd's hand and sneered. "Aren't your beloved soldiers supposed to be heroes?"

"Look at them hiding while you bleed."

The shepherd writhed in agony and screamed, "The military has a classified mission! Kill me if you want, you bastards!"

"Tough guy!" The operative sneered and casually shot the shepherd in the leg.

The shepherd shrieked in pain.

Sergeant Wu lost it!

Ignoring everyone's protests, he kicked his door open and charged out.

"Stand down!"

"Who the hell are you people? Do you honestly think you can pull this off on Solenia soil and walk away alive?"

Knowing the operatives held a hostage, Sergeant Wu had deliberately left his firearm behind to avoid provoking an execution.
