Military orders were as unyielding as mountains.
Even though the agents present were deeply afraid of Nathan, none of them dared to disobey the orders.
As soon as Holmes gave the order, the strong agents and their compatriots lunged at Nathan, hoping to gain an advantage through their superior numbers.
Whoosh!
When facing this group of special agents, Nathan didn't dodge their attacks. Instead, he sped up and charged head-on.
The charging agent at the forefront was taken aback. Nathan's speed was far beyond his estimation.
He was just about to assume a defensive stance when Nathan had already leaped up, delivering a brutal flying knee strike. His knee hit the man's chest harshly.
Bang!
It was as if the agent's chest had been struck by a large hammer, and his ribs were instantly shattered. The agent coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood, and his body twisted as it was flung backward. By the time he was in mid-air, he was already dead.
Nathan landed steadily back on the ground.
Two special agents had already rushed up to Nathan immediately after.
With a swift and powerful move, he smashed their heads together with great force.
Thwack!
Both special agents' heads split open at the same time, simultaneously meeting their demise.
Yet Nathan didn't stop there. He moved like an enraged tiger charging into a flock of sheep. Nathan weaved through his enemies, his strikes as swift as lightning. One by one, his opponents screamed in agony as they met their end before him.
Even Colin could tell that Nathan was seething with anger today, given that his actions were more ruthless than usual.
Upon seeing how formidable Nathan was, Holmes' face had already turned deathly pale.
In a rush, he pulled out his pistol and aimed it at Nathan, wanting to shoot him.
However, it was just a pity that Colin was supporting Nathan in this fight.
The moment he drew his gun, Colin also pulled out his gun even faster and fired a shot.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out.
Then, he turned around and returned to Hepburn's side.
Hepburn's time was drawing to a close, and she knew herself that she was not going to make it.
At this moment, she weakly said, “Mr. Cross... I can't go on anymore. I feel so cold. Can you hold me? If given the choice, I wish I could die in your arms.”
Nathan looked at her, considering her final request. He thought about how Hepburn was dying because she kept his secrets. With a soft sigh, he gave her a friendly hug.
For the first time, Hepburn was held by Nathan, and a hint of mirth was present in her eyes. She weakly said, “This... must be heaven...”
After saying that, her head drooped weakly, and she died in Nathan's arms.
At this very moment, Nathan's emotions were incredibly complex and overwhelmingly sorrowful.
He had fought side by side with Hepburn, he had saved Hepburn's life, and when he was in danger, Hepburn had done everything in her power to bring reinforcements.
A profound friendship has been established between the two.
Everyone was surprised that it all ended in such a way.
Right now, in the dense forest nearby, a pair of eyes were watching Nathan in the darkness.
