Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1096

Devin could not understand why someone who had followed him for so many years would choose to betray him.

As a superior, he was a great leader and a great commander.

On a personal level, they were brothers-in-arms who had gone through countless battles together in life and death situations. So, why did he do it?

“Was it because the White House offered you something better? What did they promise you?”

Silence fell upon them.

Ashamed and ashen-faced, Henrick could not say a word.

At that moment, Devin had a realization.

Immediately, he looked up at the prisoner transporter that was approaching closer with reddened eyes. Then, with a stroke of the dagger, Henrick took his last breath in the world.

He understood what Henrick had been offered for his betrayal.

It was none other than taking over Devin’s position in the military once the Jadesons were gone and Devin dead.

With Henrick dead, Devin kept his dagger and tore a piece of cloth from his shirt to wrap the wound on his shoulder. He then headed into the forest while crouched.

“Major, w-what happened?”

When the whole team saw Devin, they were both surprised and furious to see him wounded.

However, Devin waved his hand dismissively.

“Our opponents have discovered us. We must get this over with as soon as possible. You guys will go and distract them in the front, and I’ll ambush from behind.”

After what had happened, Devin quickly adjusted his plan.

Yet, as soon as he finished his sentence, the team got very agitated.

“How can we do that? Aren’t you putting yourself in danger if you ambush them from behind? Since they’ve discovered us, we can retreat anytime if we’re at the front, but they would definitely have their backs covered. Won’t you get caught if you stay and got discovered?”

“Yes, Major. You mustn’t!”

The team instantly knew what Devin had in mind as soon as he said that since they had been with him through thick and thin.

Yet, Devin stood firm with his decision.

He even brought up his position as their superior and said, “This is an order! Hurry up and head over to the front. Otherwise, you’ll be punished accordingly!”

The team were at a loss for words.

Finally, they gave in and brought their guns with them to the front reluctantly.
