Chapter 1030
“Oh, I have a god–daughter and I‘ll introduce you guys to each other next time. She‘s studying abroad and gaining
a master‘s degree in interpretation. She‘ll be back soon.”
“That sounds great. I would love to get to know her. She must be very outstanding.”
“Her parents are extremely close friends of ours and we have known each other for ages. They have been
permanently stationed abroad for work, so this kid grew up by my side ever since she was a child. I regard her as
my daughter.”

“Her name is Ruka Singed. You can call her Ruka.”
“She sounds like an adorable girl,” Angela replied with a smile.
“She‘s two years younger than you and she‘s indeed a wonderful girl,” Scarlet mentioned with a smile.
After their enjoyable afternoon tea, Scarlet sent Angela back home at about 5.00PM. Besides, she also reminded
Angela to seek her out anytime to chat if she was feeling down in the dumps.
At that point, Angela felt her spirits lifted significantly and she knew that she should not continue to wallow in self–
pity. She had to keep her spirits up and wait for Richard to return.
He had an invincible presence in her mind, so she trusted that he would definitely be able to overcome everything.
Meanwhile, in a distant gorge far away from the town center of Lauchrist, several black–colored SUVs silently
traveled through the forest in the dark. The cars in the fleet were covered with green fabric as camouflage and
they were practically invisible to the eye.
“Send our striker team ahead to scout the route.” An instruction from their captain sounded through the headset.
At that moment, the car came to a halt and a young man sitting next to the captain opened the car door and
alighted. Roy grabbed the man‘s wrist. “Richard, why are you getting out of the car?”
“Captain Anderson, I‘ll join the striker team.”
“Get back here immediately,” Captain Anderson instructed sternly. “You‘re not allowed to go.”
“I know that you have received instructions from my uncle to keep me safe, but my job here is as one of your men

leaving the car.
Captain Anderson had no other choice and he could merely watch as the striker team disappeared into the dark.
“Captain Anderson, this mission is much more difficult than the others. I heard that there are a few hundred men
guarding the place, so the chances of us succeeding in rescuing Professor Tesla are quite slim.”
“Professor Tesla must not end up in their hands.” There was a determined look in Captain Anderson‘s eyes as he
looked toward the darkened area in front. “Even if we end up with his dead body, we have to bring him back
regardless.”
