A convoy of dozens of cars made its way towards the deep mountains.
Mr. Schuldt had specifically ordered the roads to be closed off.
His subordinate, a police officer, approached Mr. Schuldt with some confusion and asked, "Chief, are we really going to help Sophie and her team?"
They had deployed all available forces, blocking every possible entry into the mountains and even assigning extra personnel to assist Sophie and Colby.
This seemed like a loss-making endeavor.
If Sophie and her team failed, The Silent Shadows would likely target them first.
Mr. Schuldt took a deep drag of his cigarette, then slowly exhaled the smoke, saying, "I'm not just helping Sophie; I'm helping humanity."
With that, Mr. Schuldt straightened the officer's cap and, abandoning his usual cautious demeanor, said sternly, "Remember, you're a police officer, and police have a duty to protect the people!"
The officer was taken aback.
He had never expected Mr. Schuldt, who usually avoided taking sides, to say something like that.
Mr. Schuldt looked solemnly towards the darkening sky.
Night had fallen, and dawn was yet to break.
In his life, he had drifted through decades, witnessing many joys and sorrows, aware that the world was far from perfect.
Yet, he still believed in the goodness of the world.
As a police officer, his mission was to safeguard peace and combat evil forces.
This time, he was prepared to risk everything.
Even if the outcome was disastrous, it would prove that he had stood firm, made an effort, and made sacrifices.
He also believed there were many others in the world like him.
They might be momentarily dazzled by fame and fortune, but they would eventually realize that the world's beauty was a testament to nature's achievements. Only by loving the world could humanity receive the same love in return.
