Chapter 245: Rescue

Alan had already raised the dagger, but he stopped when he heard Frederick’s words. “What did you say?”

After all, Alan was the leader of a terrorist organization. He put Claire down and rushed over. Frederick heard Richard’s voice: “General Hawthorne, everyone is in place. We’ll move in five minutes.”

“You are doomed,” Frederick said, breathing a sigh of relief as he saw Alan leave Claire and then threatened him. Claire was dying, and Frederick tried to save her. “What? Say it again!”

Alan grabbed Frederick by the collar and questioned him. Frederick just smiled and said nothing; he had achieved his goals. Alan knew he couldn’t get anything out of Frederick, so he gave up. He didn’t care about Claire anymore. He stood up, told his men to keep an eye on the two, and left.

Alan walked to the living room of the villa and immediately gathered everyone together. “From this moment on, everyone, please stay highly alert. Check the area around the villa for any anomalies. Also, bring everyone in the basement out. I…”

Alan thought about Frederick’s reaction and felt strange. He decisively ordered everyone, but before he finished speaking, gunshots rang out. It was very intense. At the same time, the men guarding the door limped in, covering their bullet wounds. “Mr. Gonzales, leave!” The man died before he could even step into the living room and fell to the ground at the door. Then, there was another burst of intense gunfire.

Alan said, “Bring all the hostages out of the basement and the water dungeon in the back garden.” Alan took out his gun and ordered his men to bring all the people in the basement out to the back garden.

Frederick and Claire were still at the water prison in the back garden. Alan’s primary purpose was to kill Frederick. Alan decided to kill Frederick and avenge Mark. He didn’t have time to find out how Frederick’s men had found this place.

Richard had already figured out the terrain and found Claire and Frederick through his telescope. Just as Richard was about to step forward, he received a report through his headphones. “Adjutant Parker, the enemy has brought a large number of hostages and is heading towards the back garden. Group 3 is trying their best to stop them. It seems that the leader of the terrorist organization is among them.”

“Got it!” Richard loaded his bullets, looked at Frederick and Claire not far away, and ordered, “Group 1 will go around the side, and the two will attack from the front and disrupt the enemy. Rescue General Hawthorne and Ms. Prescott.”

If the leader of this terrorist organization was present, they would probably not be his match. If they could not stop him successfully, Frederick and Claire would be in great danger. To ensure everything went well, Richard had to go there in person. “Yes, Adjutant Parker.”

“Groups 4 and 5, follow me to ambush the terrorist leader, and give Group 1 and 2 time to rescue the hostages.” Richard led his men to a position suitable for ambush on the left side in front of the villa. Richard saw Alan heading towards the back garden under the protection of a group of people. The men around him also held a lot of hostages.

As soon as Richard saw the hostages, he knew what Alan was planning. Alan was surrounded by hostages; Richard had no way to shoot or stop Alan. “Groups 1 and 2, evacuate with General Hawthorne and Ms. Prescott as fast as you can, quickly!” Richard quickly gave orders. “Yes, Adjutant Parker.”

Richard stood up and hurried to the water dungeon, but he had to go around Alan and the others. Alan was closer to Frederick and Claire than Richard was, so he had to hurry. In order to get to Frederick and Claire as quickly as possible, Richard threw away all the heavy things on his body; he even threw away his helmet.

Fortunately, Group 1 and Group 2 acted quickly enough, and when Richard arrived, they had successfully rescued Frederick and Claire. However, just as Richard breathed a sigh of relief, Alan arrived. Since Alan was under the protection of a group of hostages, Richard couldn’t take any action; they were all soldiers and must protect the people.

“Frederick, I will never let you leave here alive!” Alan took advantage of this and acted recklessly. “No!” Seeing Alan pull the trigger, Richard yelled, but the bullet had already flown towards Frederick.
