"Boss, don't be angry, there's absolutely no need for that. There's probably only Xiao there right now, we can just go there directly," Roy quickly said.

Roy couldn't understand why he was being so cautious with his boss.

Why not just rush over there and be done with it? Why waste time here?

"Roy, if they were waiting for us right now, would you still be talking so casually? Was it so easy in the past?"

Upon hearing this, Roy glanced at Mona, wondering if she was just there to cause trouble.

"John, make a decision already. Why are you still hesitating? Can't all of us handle this guy?"

John was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged, and he didn't listen to a word they said.

However, they also understood very well that if they couldn't get rid of Xiao, they might capture Mu Shanhai at any time.

Besides, John didn't want to be caught by Wu Hao. He looked down on such a good-for-nothing. If he were caught, wouldn't everyone look down on him?

“Roy, you’re right. I’ve made up my mind. At this point, you should be the one to go first. I’ve decided to send you over first, understand?”

Roy was instantly dumbfounded. He had dragged himself into this mess. Why was he being asked to lead the charge when there were so many people?

He never wanted to die from the beginning, otherwise he wouldn't have created so many opportunities for Luo Chen.

Even after arriving here, he simultaneously demonstrated his abilities while remaining subservient.

But now, the result is that he has to suffer the consequences.

"Damn it, I should have kept quiet. I've only made things worse for myself." Roy wanted to slap himself. It was all his fault for being so talkative and saying a few extra words at this crucial moment. Now look what's happened, he's in trouble.

"I..." Roy wanted to say something, but realized that he couldn't say anything else at this point. After all, if he refused, John would definitely cause him trouble.

"Alright, I'll go. You guys follow behind. Mona, how about this, we go together? That way we can take care of the enemy more easily, right?"

Roy wanted to take Mona into the water with him, so that even if something went wrong, John couldn't just stand by and watch her die; that was simply impossible.

"Everyone, check your equipment, prepare to move out!"

John roared, at this point there was no need to endure it any longer.

If he doesn't go now, then Wu Hao will likely reap all the rewards.

Of course, his primary goal was to kill Luo Chen. Since becoming a mercenary, John had never encountered such a formidable opponent, resulting in the direct loss of so many of his men.

What's even more terrifying is that Luo Chen wasn't injured at all, and didn't suffer any loss whatsoever.

Meanwhile, Luo Chen had already received news of Mike and the others' encounter with Lina, and Mike had also recounted what had happened.

"Xiao, hold on a bit, we'll be right there, wait for us."

"You guys hurry and chase after Wu Hao. He doesn't have many men with him now, and Qi Yunlong is with you too. Once you meet him, you'll have a great chance of winning."

Luo Chen didn't want them to return; there was absolutely no need for it, and he could handle it himself.

What he wants most right now is for Mu Shanhai and the others to reach the Northern Frontier, so that even if he faces John and his group, he might be able to return directly.

“Mike, Mu Shanhai and the others are unprotected and in great danger. You need to speed up and catch up with Wu Hao and the others. If something happens to Mu Shanhai and the others, I’m doomed.”

What Luo Chen said was true. If Mu Shanhai and the others really got into trouble, then he would be finished too, and the system would very likely eliminate him at that time.

Although he wasn't sure if it was true, Luo Chen was certain that the system wouldn't give him such a task for no reason.

After all, every price is hard to bear.

"Don't worry, we've found Wu Hao's direction and are on our way. We'll definitely complete the mission."

"By the way, after you take out Wu Hao, just go over there. We're not far from the Northern Frontier now, and there's really no way back. I'll come over after I've finished dealing with things here."

"Xiao, what do you mean? Aren't you coming with us?"

"What are you doing...?"

Mike was stunned. The meaning of these words was obvious. Did Xiao want to completely sacrifice himself to help them find Wu Hao?

They certainly couldn't accept this outcome; neither Mike nor Xiao Wu could accept it.

"No, Xiao, you can't do this."

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm the boss now, and you all have to listen to me. No matter what happens, the mission is the most important thing. Remember that, Xiao Wu, listen to me carefully. Protect them and make sure they reach the Northern Frontier safely. Once that's done, the mission is complete. As for whether Jiang Xian'er chooses to stay in the Northern Frontier or come back, that's up to her. But once she arrives, remember to have her inform Jiang Tao. Don't just leave her there without saying anything."

"But...this, this, Brother Xiao, I'm back to help you now."

Xiao Wu sounded very anxious, as if he didn't want Luo Chen to choose to do this, as this was definitely a situation they didn't want to see.

However, Luo Chen didn't care about what they said at all. They had already come to this point, so why bother thinking about so much?

"Xiao Wu, listen carefully. Don't worry about my affairs for now. I have a way. You need to trust my abilities instead of causing me trouble. Even if you come now, it won't help me much, and you might even implicate me. The most important thing you should do now is one thing."

"Find Mu Shanhai and the others, and protect them. That's your most important task. Don't worry about anything else."

Luo Chen spoke with a hint of anger, but what he said was not wrong. If Xiao Wu came at this time, it would likely cause Luo Chen unnecessary trouble, which was definitely something he did not want to see.

For Luo Chen, the most important thing is to protect Mu Shanhai and the others. Of course, after spending so much time in the dream world, he has also developed some feelings for them.

Qi Yunlong and even Mike are very important.

"That's all for now, call over. Deal with Wu Hao as soon as possible." Luo Chen closed the communication device and glanced randomly in John's direction.

"Wow, they really don't give us any face, coming straight here."

At this moment, Roy was walking over with his men. In the end, Mona did not go with Roy, but stayed in the middle.

Although Roy was angry, he dared not say anything. If he said something that displeased John, he would be the one to die.

Luo Chen glanced at it, then reloaded the magazine. Even though he had only fired three shots, Luo Chen still enjoyed the sense of security that a full magazine gave him.

Sometimes, Luo Chen had to admit that even though he had reached the Grandmaster level, firearms were truly amazing. They were incredibly useful and could greatly help him deal with some enemies.

"What a pity, there are no other weapons. Sigh, luckily Wu Hao prepared the bombs earlier." Luo Chen sighed as he looked at the remote control in his hand, intending to save it for later use.

Wu Hao was practically a god who gifted equipment, greatly helping Luo Chen gain a certain level of firepower. Even after Wu Hao's betrayal, he didn't forget to provide Luo Chen with some support.

"What a pity, Wu Hao. If you hadn't betrayed us, the system might have assigned me this mission."

"Damn it, if you hadn't betrayed me, would I be in this mess right now? Mu Shanhai and the others would probably have been sent there already."

Da da da!

Just as Luo Chen was lost in thought, Roy fired the first shot, seemingly trying to lure Luo Chen and the others out.

However, Luo Chen was very clear that he should try not to expose himself at this time.

Let's wait a bit longer; the timing isn't right.

"Roy, why did you shoot? What's the rush?"

John was startled when he heard the gunshot; he was almost shot by Roy when the ambushers appeared.

"..." Roy didn't dare to speak anymore. Even if I fired a shot, I would get a lesson.

At this moment, Roy wished he could give the gun to John and refuse to do it himself.

But he also knew that doing so would mean being shot dead by John.

Luo Chen remained motionless, murmuring, "One, two, three!"

"Dry!"

Luo Chen gave a soft shout, then raised his gun, stood up, and fired at Roy and the others.

Da da da!

Da da da!

With the machine gun in hand, Luo Chen adjusted his position, using the vehicle as cover, while firing bullets.

With the car providing cover, Luo Chen was much less likely to be hit by bullets at this point.

He headed towards the rocks, hoping they would provide cover as he made his way up the mountain.

Luo Chen's speed was extremely fast, truly befitting his status as a grandmaster.

The bullets seemed to slow down in his eyes, and soon Luo Chen arrived behind the rock.

He turned his body to the side and immediately fired the gun.

They aimed at a mercenary but didn't choose the fastest way to eliminate the threat.

Just shoot. There's no need to think about anything else at this point; it's really unnecessary, and more importantly, it might come with a lot of risk.

"Go! Go! Go!"

Roy immediately found a car as cover; he was terrified of dying and naturally didn't want to be killed by Luo Chen at this moment.

He was well aware of Luo Chen's methods; one wrong move and he would face certain death.

"He's all alone, all by himself, hurry up and surround him."

"Left flank, right flank, the rest of you provide cover!"

Knowing that Luo Chen was alone, John began to roar.
