Chapter 652 Danger Lurking Around
“I don’t know. I have the desire to talk to you, do you understand? My husband often felt sorry and distressed for those dead comrades. He always blamed himself for it until the day he died. Before he died, he still told me to avenge those dead comrades,” Stella said and paused.
The person also paused and did not speak, but he did not hang up either.
Silence was not a good thing.
Stella continued, “In fact, you could have killed me. Today, I was careless, but you didn’t kill me. I think that you’re a person with thoughts, passion, and a sense of justice.”
“You don’t have to praise me,” the man said.
Stella smiled. “Because you have spared my life, hence, I’ll do my best to help you if you have any requests.”
“I saw that you had asked your people to retreat,” the man said in a low voice.
Stella was slightly surprised. This man’s observation and sharpness were better than she had imagined.
However, she also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. The other party was either a person with a conscience, or there was no bomb.
She did not deny it, “I was worried that you would sacrifice yourself to kill us. These comrades have followed me and protected me all this time. They have families and friends. I don’t want them to die because of me as their families would be sad. It is too unworthy for them to die like this.”
“You’re right, I was going to sacrifice myself to kill you. If the bomb on me explodes, everything within a kilometer radius will be blasted to the ground. Your soldiers have to retreat to the gate to be safe,” the man said.
“I’ve asked them to retreat to the gate. However, if you don’t ignite the bomb, the person behind you will not let you go,” Stella guessed.
“I’m not from your country,” the man changed the subject.
A thought immediately flashed through Stella’s mind. She blurted out, “Boris Lameer.”
“You know me?” Boris asked in surprise.
“I already knew that you were the murderer who killed Trenton, so I did a background check on you. If my guess is correct, Quinn inserted a monitor and detonating device into your teeth,” Stella said with worry.
“Ten minutes ago, I took it down and destroyed it. Could we meet?” Boris asked.
Stella hesitated.
“Mrs. Milton, don’t do that. If we stay here, we could at least guarantee our safety. It’s too dangerous to go out. If his task is to kill you, he might be deceiving you,” Elvis persuaded.
Boris snorted and said, “Well, you could choose to stay there. It’s a dead-end for me anyway if I fail to complete my task.”
Stella pondered for three seconds, “Come to the hall now. I’ll head over there right away.”
Stella said as she turned off the walkie-talkie.
“Mrs. Milton, please don’t do that. He’s too dangerous. If he could cut off Trenton’s head with a knife, then I’m no match for him. I won’t be able to protect you,” Elvis said, trying to stop her.
“I believe that I would have already been dead by now if he wanted to kill me. He hid behind the window. With his strength, he could’ve opened the window easily and kill me before you came in, but he didn’t,” Stella said calmly.
“He’s a criminal. He might change his mind at any time and kill you impulsively. It’s too dangerous, I can’t let you go,” Elvis stood in front of Stella and said.
“But he could have something that we want. He’s not foolish. Trust my judgment, Elvis,” Stella looked firmly at Elvis.
Elvis thought for a moment, leaned over, and put down the ladder, “I will have the snipers get ready outside and protect you with their lives.”
“Stay here, Elvis. Take good care of my mother-in-law,” Stella said.
“What? Mrs. Milton, are you going alone?” Elvis was worried. “If anything happens to you, the Chief will blame me.”
Stella was very calm, “If there is a one-in-a-thousand chance that something happens to me, take the recording from the walkie-talkie, including the monitoring on my mobile phone, and hand it over to Anthony.”
She handed her cell phone to Elvis, “You know the password.”
“No way,” Elvis said.
“This is an order,” Stella said firmly.
Elvis stared at Stella, so anxious that his eyes turned red.
Stella smiled slightly. “Also, take care of Lynette. She likes you.”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
“Huh?” Elvis was still in a daze.
Stella climbed down the ladder, straightened her clothes, and walked to the door.
Elvis was still worried and he wanted to go out. Suzi held Elvis’ arm and said, “Listen to her. She knows what she’s doing.”
Elvis nodded helplessly.
When Stella arrived in the living room, Boris had not come down yet.
She made a cup of coffee calmly and placed it in front of her. She poured herself a glass of water, took a sip, and said to the air, “I hope you understand that my sniper is ready outside. But don’t worry, they won’t shoot unless there is no other option.”
Boris came down from the stairs slowly. He was still fully armed while he looked at Stella.
Stella also looked at him. There was no fear in her eyes, only calmness. “You should drink the coffee while it’s hot.”
“You have guts,” Boris said, still examining Stella.
“Because I have many people that I love in my heart, hence, I’m invincible. I think what I’m doing is right. Even if I die, I have worked hard every day. Although it would be a shame, I will die without any regrets,” Stella said frankly.
“During a mission, an organization captured my wife and children, forcing me to compromise and hand over the biochemical weapons. I didn’t hand them over, so they killed my wife and children. I guess there was a spy in our team. Otherwise, how did they catch my wife and children? It was, after all, a secret operation.
I paid attention when I handed over the biochemical weapons. What I handed in was fake. Surely enough, my superiors opened the biochemical bottles and wanted to use us for their experiments. I killed my superiors and ran away with my fellow brothers to report to the people above.
However, before one of my brothers died, he told me that the people behind the scenes were not only my superiors but also people from above. I started a fight against the organization and found that those people were in A Country.
Quinn found me. One of my brothers introduced him to me.
Quinn promised me that as long as I helped him, he would help me find the organization and the people behind it. However, I found out that that brother of mine had a problem. He secretly called back to the United States. I checked his number and found that the other party’s number was secret-coded, ” Boris said.
“That’s why you suspect that that brother of yours is the mastermind and Quinn is the leader of that organization. Their target is the biochemical weapon in your hands,” Stella guessed.
“The first task that Quinn gave me was to kill Trenton. I saw a lot of news about him on the Internet. He deserved to die, so I accepted the task. I didn’t know much about the situation in your country. After killing him, I realized that it was just a trap set up by Quinn. I also knew about your existence and I also understood the cruelty and selfishness of Quinn,” Boris said.
