He saw many fully armed mercenaries, combat aircraft, tanks, heavy artillery, and other lethal
weapons.
His lips twisted in a scowl upon seeing this scene.
It would be difficult for him to secretly rescue Henry since Mount Thunder was so heavily guarded
If he simply showed himself, a fierce battle would ensue.
James was not afraid of fighting. However, he was afraid Henry’s life being used as leverage against
him during the battle. After observing the enemies’ situation, James quietly descended the mountain
and approached Mount Thunder.
Not long after, he saw fully armed mercenaries ahead.
He cautiously scanned the surroundings and found countless snipers hidden throughout the area.
There were many people hiding on the mountain roads to the top.
The whole area was filled with danger, and he’d be courting death if he continued to advance.
Yet, Henry would be in danger if he did not ascend the mountain.
Henry had followed him for many years, and he was not going to let him die a terrible death on Mount
Thunder.
After observing the terrain, James quietly moved on.
Eventually, he emerged again on top of a big tree where a sniper had hidden under it.
He reached behind his back and took out two silver needles.
He swung his hand.
Whoosh!
Two silver needles flew out with great force.
The sniper who was hidden in the bushes slumped forward to the ground soundlessly.
After getting rid of one of the hidden snippers, James sneaked off. He had to plan his moves carefully.
So, he had no choice but to advance one step at a time up the mountains. He used the terrain to his
advantage to conceal himself. He quietly took down all the hidden snipers he could find along his path.
At this point, more than fifty snipers had already died in his hands.
At this moment, he was less than a thousand meters away from Mount Thunder’s peak. The dense
forest eventually gave way to an empty mountain peak ahead of him, which meant
he had nowhere to continue hiding. He would be exposed instantly if simply continued his approach,
and the mercenaries would immediately shoot him full of holes. James decided to hang back and
stopped himself from taking any thoughtless actions. Instead, he waited for an opportunity.
Time passed by minute by minute.
After waiting for three hours, he finally found the opening he needed.
A lone mercenary entered his sight. He immediately pounced on him from the tree. He sandwiched the
mercenary’s head between his legs and exerted his force on the man.
The mercenary’s head was snapped instantly, and he fell to the ground without ever having the chance
to scream.
He quickly caught the body to prevent him from falling to the ground and making a sound. James
quickly hid back down, took off the mercenary’s clothes, grabbed his weapon, and smeared some face
paint he had prepared in advance all over his face. Afterward, he boldly walked into the open. He met
up with the patrolling mercenary team and followed in the team’s rear.
Mountaintop.
There were many strong fighters gathered. Willy watched the sunset, knowing it would soon be dark.
He knew that the Black Dragon was exceedingly dangerous and that it would be challenging to spot
him once it was dark. He could sense that James was nearby even right now.
“Bring him out.”
Soon a few mercenaries walked into the wooden house and dragged out Henry who on the verge of
death.
Willy stood up, pulled out his gun, and stepped on Henry. Afterward, he took out a loudspeaker and
shouted, “Black Dragon. I know you’re here. Show yourself, or else Black Shadow will be buried with
you today.” The loudspeaker blared, and his voice echoed throughout the mountains and valleys. After
threatening James, he quickly instructed, “Instruct everyone to move closer to Mount Thunder.”
“Willy, Sniper One has not responded.” “There is also no response from Sniper Two.” Various reports
entered Willy’s ears. Under the mask, his expression was dark. He knew that the Black Dragon had
quietly gotten rid of these snipers.
