Chapter 141 Deadly Manhunt Beyond the Special‑Zone Wall
Southspire Tower, the northern border of the special‑zone wall.Brown supported the badly‑injured bearded man with one arm, keeping his voice barely audible. “Hold on a little longer.”The bearded man pressed down on the steel plate strapped to his leg and nodded through gritted teeth. “I’m fine. I can still move.”“Lean your weight on me. Don’t re‑fracture the bone.”“Got it.”As the two men spoke in low tones, a sharp whistle suddenly rang out in the distance.Brown froze at once. His right hand slipped to the gun at his waist, his gaze fixed intently on the depths of the darkness, ready to strike.His phone in his pocket buzzed and rang.“Easy.” The bearded man quickly grabbed his comrade’s wrist before he could draw his weapon. “It’s our contact.”Brown had stayed in constant contact with their handler and memorized his number. He called out toward the darkness in a steady, low voice. “We’re the group getting out of the zone.”Two or three minutes later, a middle‑aged man stepped
Chapter 140 Dangerous Flight
“What happened?”“The target site was a welfare facility. We uncovered children being forced to serve those powerful figures. During the shootout, I killed two of them.”Kane froze on the spot.“Stay calm,” Brown said flatly. “I’ll take full responsibility for the killings. Silas will be handed over to you unharmed.”Kane’s brows drew tight. “I am not afraid of taking heat. But how far‑reaching is their influence? Can you get away?”“Hard to tell, but they definitely have powerful connections.”Kane made a quick call. “Scrap the original extraction plan. Heading straight back to Novara from Southspire Tower means certain ambush along the way.”Brown replied bluntly. “We’ll split up and pull out. I will get Silas safely delivered to you. Leave the rest of us to fend for ourselves.”Kane did not hesitate. “Agreed. I will send men to take custody of Silas. You figure your own way out.”Brown paused briefly. “That’s settled, then.”“I’ll contact the extraction team.”The call ended.Rafe
Chapter 139 On the Run
The five men fled quickly toward the first floor, holding three key hostages at gunpoint. Their underlings followed close behind, keeping a safe one‑floor distance and daring not to close in recklessly.Once they reached the ground floor, Brown turned to Rafe. “Is the vehicle ready?”“It’s set.”Brown leaned in close to Rafe’s ear and quickly whispered a fallback plan.The moment the two men were huddled in quiet discussion, two dull thuds echoed from deep within the dim hallway.Brown spun around instantly, raising his gun and snapping into full alert.A small, scar‑covered young figure appeared abruptly in the doorway.The little girl dropped to her knees, her eyes wide with terror and pleading. “Sir, please get us out of here.”Brown’s pupils constricted. His heart sank, and he said gruffly, “Keep moving.”The girl clutched her clothing tightly. She glanced timidly toward Silas, who glared fiercely at her, then begged again in a trembling voice. “Sir, take me with you. I’ll do anyt
Chapter 138: Desperate Counterattack at the Orphanage
"You’re hurt!" Rave reached out to steady him."Damn it. There are still guards inside. We need to finish this fast." Brown’s eyes blazed.He took cover behind the door and flipped on the high‑power flashlight again, sweeping its beam down the hallway.Several goons deep in the corridor winced against the blinding light and scrambled to dodge sideways.While the center of the beam dazzled their sight, blind spots formed along both walls. Seizing the opening, Rave advanced with his comrades, laying down suppressing fire.One enemy failed to dodge in time and crumpled to the ground, yelling, "That light’s blinding us! We can’t aim! Fall back!"Brown switched off his flashlight and tossed it skittering across the floor inward. He shouted, "Rave, which rooms hold hostages?"Rave called back, "I haven’t been inside. Search them one by one. Look for the older targets."Brown stayed low, pressing against the wall as he moved forward. Reaching a door, he drove his boot hard into the lock.The
Chapter 137: Rescuing the Captured Comrades
Staring into Brown’s calm yet ferocious eyes, the thug dared not make any reckless move and slowly raised both hands.Brown tucked his knife back at his waist, swiftly disarmed the two men. He gripped the survivor by the neck and glanced at the wounded one. “Lead the way.”“Boss…”“Quit stalling.” Brown pressed the gun muzzle forward. “Where are the men who broke in earlier being held? Take me upstairs.”Clutching his stomach, the injured man hesitated.“This is your only chance.” Brown’s gaze turned cold, his finger resting on the trigger.“Don’t shoot! I’ll go! I’ll go!” The man’s face drained of color. Holding his wound, he stumbled up the steps and entered the main building.Brown followed close behind, his arm locked around the hostage’s neck. He shouted out loud, “Beard, cut the power!”Perched on the compound wall, the bearded man pulled out his dagger and sliced through the power cables in one clean stroke.Every light in the orphanage’s main building went out all at once.The
Chapter 136: Captured — How to Break the Deadlock
Reeve’s face turned pale. He snapped out a quick, low‑toned order. “Switch all comms to the emergency channel. Call for backup, move!”Night lay heavy outside. Brown stared at the silent walkie‑talkie, his brows knotted tight.“It’s just an orphanage. No word from them after going in for so long — something’s very wrong,” the bearded man warned in a gruff undertone.Brown picked up his radio and tapped the microphone three times with his fingertips, sending out a probing signal.Thirty seconds passed. The receiver stayed dead‑silent, not a single reply came through.Brown shot to his feet, his gaze heavy with dread. “Damn it. Reeve’s been taken inside.”“A run‑down orphanage could trap three seasoned operators?” The bearded man looked utterly incredulous.Brown licked his dry lips, his voice cold. “What goes on in there is far dirtier than we ever imagined.”“Should we charge straight in to get them out?”“We don’t know what we’re walking into. A reckless assault would get all of us k
