Chapter 126: Leaves and Wounds
The sky was leaning toward dusk. A thin mist began to shroud the mountain peak, curling slowly between the trunks of ancient, towering pines.Hansen kept walking, carrying a small pouch filled with various rare herbs he had picked along the way. Several silver-green leaves and crimson thorny flowers were already packed into his rucksack.“Hmm… at this rate, I could open my own pharmacy,” he murmured with a crooked smile, crouching again to carefully pluck a small root. “Funny, why don’t they realize how valuable this plant is… do they just think it’s a weed?”He stood, brushing dirt from his pants.“Or maybe they’re too busy fighting to remember that nature holds everything.”His steps halted when he saw a figure leaning against a large tree. Long hair, serious face, and a partially torn uniform. Mona.The woman’s body looked exhausted, and the wound on her shoulder appeared severe. Hansen narrowed his eyes and approached silently, standing right in front of her.“You look like you’ve
Chapter 125: A Breath at the Tip of a Bullet
From behind pine leaves and moss-covered rocks, the sniper adjusted his position once more. He squinted toward the terrain below.“Where’d that pretty girl disappear to?” he muttered with a grin, his breathing calm despite the rush of adrenaline. “I saw her hair flutter behind that boulder just a moment ago…”But before he could line up his rifle again, a soft crack from a breaking twig came from behind. His eyes widened—military instinct took over. He jumped backward and drew a sidearm from his waist, firing two shots toward the sound.BANG! BANG!Only one bullet nearly found its mark.Mona, who had been about to strike with her combat knife from behind, flung herself to the side. She dodged the shot, but the first bullet grazed her left shoulder, tearing through flesh. Blood burst from the wound as her body hit the ground hard.Thud!Mona winced, biting back the pain. Her uniform was quickly soaked in blood, but she kept a tight grip on her knife.“Ha!” the sniper laughed curtly, ap
Chapter 124: Bullets in the Mist
Inside the old jeep growling its way up a winding dirt road, Mona sat with her arms crossed, her face calm as she gazed out the window now cloaked in a thin veil of fog. She looked composed, but her sharp eyes were calculating—cold and precise.The driver, a man in his early forties with a thin beard and a solid build, glanced at Mona through the rearview mirror.“Captain Mona, that man earlier… who was he?” he asked cautiously.Mona merely shrugged. “I don’t know much. He’s like a ghost—comes and goes without a sound. But I don’t feel like he’s an enemy. And he’s not a target.”“Then why is the Captain so interested in him?”Mona turned her head sharply. “I’m just curious. Focus on our mission. Have all preparations been checked?”The driver nodded. “Ammunition’s loaded, infiltration team is already at the northern point, drone’s on standby. We’re ready to move in and extract the package.”“Good,” Mona muttered, lowering the window slightly to let the cold mountain breeze brush her f
Chapter 123: The Path That Must Not Be Known
After the brief fight that sent the village thugs scrambling, the atmosphere shifted drastically. The villagers began to gather cautiously, eyes fixed on the calm young man standing with an untouchable aura.The burly man who had led the gang now stood unsteadily, blood trickling from his temple."Who do you think you are?! You dare interfere with our business?!" he shouted, though his body trembled violently.Hansen turned to him. His gaze was sharp and cold. "Then come again. Bring more. But make sure you also bring coffins."Firm, calm, and ruthless.The man opened his mouth, but no words came out. His breath caught under the crushing weight of Hansen’s pressure.None of them dared reply. One by one, the thugs retreated, some dragging away their unconscious companion.An elderly village chief approached Hansen and bowed deeply. "Sir… we don’t know how to thank you… Please, come to our home. We’ll serve you tea and—"But Hansen simply waved a hand without even turning. "I don’t need
Chapter 122: The Unleashed Ember
At the peak of a towering mountain shrouded in eternal mist stood the Black Wind Sect—a forbidden place not recorded on any map. Sealed off from the outside world by a Dimensional Obscuration Formation, it was as if the place had never existed. Anyone who got lost there… never returned. Inside a hall with strange carvings on the ceiling, an elder in a black robe entered the dark room. He knelt before a man with long silver hair and green-black eyes who sat on a stone throne. "Leader, Elder Jamin’s Soul Candle… has gone out." For a moment, silence enveloped the room. The leader’s cold gaze remained unchanged, but the air grew heavy—suffocating. "…Jamin too?" the Leader murmured, his voice flat, yet filled with a burning fury. "First Bama, now Jamin… both were my trusted men. My cousins." He stood slowly. Each step he took made the floor rumble softly, as if the earth itself could feel his wrath. "Who did it?" The elder shook his head. "We… don’t know for sure. But there is a way
Chapter 121: The Scars Left Behind
Elder Jamin was thrown back, blood streaming from his mouth. He tried to lift his hand, but his body could no longer move.“You damned brat… The Black Wind Sect will hunt you… to your grave…”Hansen stared at him coldly. “Let them. I’ll bury them one by one.”Without hesitation, he swung his hand. A small bolt of lightning shot straight into Elder Jamin’s heart. In an instant, the old man's life was extinguished. His body twitched briefly, then stilled forever.In the corner of the room, Alex was being dragged by Stanley. His face was covered in dust and blood. He squirmed, trying to resist, but had no strength left.Hansen approached slowly, his face calm yet full of pressure.“Alex… You once had a chance to turn your life around. But you chose to be a puppet.”Alex laughed weakly, coughing up blood. “I… will rise again… I will—”A gentle touch landed on his forehead.A faint white light entered like mist, seeping into his mind. A few seconds later, Alex’s eyes widened—then went blan
