Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1179

Chapter 1179 A Desperate Battle

Sabrina wanted very much to go find out who was actually in there, but she had her daughter to think about. In the end, she decided to play nice and follow Daghan’s henchman over to one of the other cabins.

In the dead of winter, the searing winds inside the forest chilled her to the bone. It was pitch-black, so much so that she could not see her fingers in front of her, and the way the howls of various animals echoed made one’s skin crawl.

Consumed by anxiety about what might happen in the night and whether Jaena would catch a cold in this freezing weather, Sabrina held her daughter close and kept vigil over her.

It was around two past the witching hour when signs of activity arose while she was inside the cabin. She had nearly nodded off with her baby in her clutches while she clung to the warmth emanated by the fireplace to her side.

“He’s here! He’s here!”

When her handler rushed out of Sabrina’s cabin, the startled woman immediately clambered off the floor with her baby.

Through the windows, she saw that the gang had come to life. Some seemed to be preparing weapons, while others handled items that emitted a reddish glow. Unfortunately, it was not apparent to her what they were doing.

But those were not the worst of all. While she waited till they were almost out of sight, the doors to that illuminated cabin opened up. From where she was, she was able to spot the LED displays that lined the walls inside.

Projected on them were various forms of data and surveillance footage.

What is that? A control room?

It occurred to her that this was no deserted forest but a place that had already been converted into their base camp. This revelation caused her to quiver inside the cabin.

Those b*stards!

Meanwhile, Edmund had indeed arrived and also forayed into this mountainous area.

However, he did not head straight for the hinterland. Instead, he made a stopover at a chosen location and subsequently went on to activate a button on his wrist in the darkness.

A few minutes later, scores of dark figures emerged spryly from the shadows at the foot of the mountain and swiftly surrounded him.

“Major!”

“Hold nothing back in this mission, gentlemen, and take no prisoners. Remember that those you’ll be facing are no common enemies. Do not indulge yourselves in battle too much. Be sure to employ your most efficient killing methods!”

Edmund regarded each and every one of these elite soldiers whom he had trained and issued them their final instructions.

Seconds later, they dispersed, and Edmund started to forge his way toward the hinterland.

In spite of the knowledge that there were others who had been sent to protect that mother and daughter pair prior to his arrival, he was preoccupied with concerns about their safety. Being more distracted than usual, he failed to even notice Sebastian’s incoming message.

Whoosh!
