Chapter 1031
The stars in the sky were shrouded by thick clouds and the ground was rocky and uneven. There was a blanket of
snow and the temperature on the ground was near zero. At that moment, several dark figures marched through
the snow and their eyes were set on a cave with a slight glow not too far away from them.
The spot where the hostage was kept captive was a strategic cave that could be easily defended but hard to
attack.

so we can only launch the drones.”
“Alright.” Richard nodded.
It was then that they launched the drone and it darted ahead like a black–feathered bird cruising silently in the dark.
It arrived at the upper part of the cave and observed the terrain of the surroundings.
The drone hovered in the air and suddenly... Crack! The drone broke into pieces and disappeared down the bottom
of the ridge.
“We‘re exposed. We have to leave,” someone spoke in a low voice.
In the meantime, there were gunshots near the cave with a hail of bullets fired in their direction. The men on the
snow–covered ground quickly scrambled for cover.
“We‘ve been exposed. Retreat.” The team leader gestured a retreat sign.
Instantly, every member heeded the instruction and retreated, but one of them remained in position.
“Captain Lloyd.”
“You leave.”
“Captain Lloyd, what are you trying to do? Retreat!” ,
However, Richard‘s figure had disappeared in the snowy darkness despite the team leader‘s instruction.

The team leader then returned to the hiding spot of their main group. Inside the car, he had just taken a sip of
warm water when Captain Anderson interrogated him, “Why isn‘t Richard back? I told you to make sure you bring
him back! Are you going against my order?”
“Captain Anderson, he is of the same rank as you and I‘m just a little team leader. I wouldn‘t be able to make him
follow my instructions.” The team leader felt quite aggrieved.
“I’ve heard of this guy, Richard Lloyd, here. He has never followed any instructions,” one of the older team
members piped up.
