My Perfect Female CEO

Chapter 1345: Relentless Resolve

Black Shark is dead, even more miserably than General Hawan had anticipated, dying from heavy wounds. This alone shows how formidable these people’s combat power is. General Hawan, who knew Black Shark’s strength well, felt quite desolate inside.No one understands better than General Hawan that when it comes to fighting abilities, his people are far inferior to theirs.

Realizing this dangerous situation, he felt powerless.

General Hawan glanced at Black Shark’s corpse, then at Zhang Lu, Yang Shu, and Shen Tingting, his heart full of shock.

"Our grudges are settled," Ye Fan looked at General Hawan sideways and said indifferently, "From now on, if you don’t become our enemy, we won’t trouble you. But if you want revenge, we will be ready."

"Mr. Peng Bird, you are joking. I know my limits. How dare I become enemies with you? I value my life too much to act rashly," General Hawan said with a bitter smile. Naturally, he was not at all willing to become enemies with Peng Bird’s group.

"In that case, we shall take our leave," Ye Fan said faintly, "The body of Black Shark is left to you to handle. As Black Shark’s friend, giving him a proper burial is the least you can do for him."

"It’s best that the aftermath is left to me," General Hawan agreed, and then courteously said, "Would you stay for a while longer?"

He had already gotten up to see them off, the invitation was just for courtesy.

"General Hawan probably couldn’t wait for us to disappear from your sight," Ye Fan said bluntly with a smile.

"Not at all, not at all!" General Hawan’s tone was full of bitterness.

"General Hawan, stay here. This is our farewell. I hope there’s no chance for us to meet again in the future." Ye Fan walked away.

General Hawan stayed in place with a sorrowful look on his face. He clearly understood Ye Fan’s implied meaning: if he wasn’t an enemy, he naturally wouldn’t see Ye Fan and his people again. But if he was, the chances of meeting them again were high.

Another meeting meant a confrontation of life and death; this was an obvious truth.

After a long, long time, General Hawan was still in a daze, his mind chaotic for the moment.

"General, General," a bodyguard walked up to General Hawan, finally bringing him out of his reverie.

After sitting down, General Hawan’s eyes showed complexity, but the unmistakable anger and killing intent were still very apparent.

As a formidable figure holding great power, yet becoming a captive, forced to do what he could not, this was an immense humiliation for him. His dignity and authority had been seriously challenged and damaged.

If he didn’t seek justice, how would he continue in the future? Wouldn’t he become a laughingstock?

He feared Peng Bird’s group, but he also had countless means to deal with them.

No matter how strong their combat ability, so what? He had countless warriors and firearms, that was his reliance and confidence.

As long as his own absolute safety was ensured, he was confident and capable of eliminating Peng Bird’s group.

"General, it’s my fault. I failed to protect you," the bodyguard said, full of shame.

"This is not your fault. The opponents are strong, which is something we must admit," General Hawan gradually calmed down and said calmly, "Things have come to this, making us fully aware of the opponent’s ferocity and defiance."

"But they’re too lawless." The bodyguard indignantly accused.

For them, no matter who Peng Bird and his group were, they were just ordinary small figures. But to dare mess with the general was truly audacious and deceiving; naturally, they were angry.

"General, can you swallow this insult?" A bodyguard said, filled with righteous indignation.

"Swallow it? Ha, how could I? A gentleman takes revenge, even after ten years, it’s not too late. We are not in a rush, we will take our time," General Hawan sneered, "Having suffered such a great disgrace, I must doubly reclaim it."

"Acting now is undoubtedly the best opportunity," the bodyguard said coldly, "Peng Bird’s group of four people surely hasn’t gone far yet. Catch up and ambush them, or mobilize the camp’s artillery for remote bombardment, both are good measures to kill the enemy."

"This idea isn’t bad, but it’s too risky. Peng Bird’s group of seven, with three still hidden in the dark, I suspect they’re monitoring me. If I act, I would also fall into crisis again," General Hawan said with boiling killing intent, "Once I disappear from Peng Bird’s group’s sight and confirm the whereabouts of the seven, then it won’t be too late to eliminate them all at once."

"The General is wise and thorough. Even if Peng Bird’s group hides deeply, as long as they’re under our noses, we won’t let them act recklessly," the bodyguard said, full of coldness.

"People from the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps arrived quickly. Gather up Black Shark’s body," General Hawan ordered without room for doubt. The bodyguard went to take care of it.

After hesitating for a long time, he then dialed Hawk’s number.

"Hello, old friend," General Hawan asked with some politeness.

"Calling me in the middle of the night, there must be something," Hawk’s expression tensed as he detected a hint of unease in General Hawan’s voice.

"Tonight, you might not be able to sleep," General Hawan began to gradually reveal the news of Black Shark’s death.

Being overly candid isn’t considerate, making it hard for people to accept, so he could only speak slowly.

"What’s the matter?" Hawk asked anxiously, "Don’t leave me hanging; just tell me straight."

"The situation is this: I was captured by Peng Bird’s group, and I handed over Black Shark to save my life," General Hawan admitted awkwardly.

"Black Shark is dead, Old Five is dead," Hawk questioned loudly.

"Yes."

General Hawan very simply confessed. At this point, he could only speak plainly, as any concealment was useless.

"How could you, how could you do this? That was my Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps’ fifth commander," Hawk asked angrily.

"My friend, I had no other choice. If I turned a blind eye, I would’ve died. Peng Bird wanted to trade my life for Black Shark’s. I could only save myself," General Hawan said earnestly, "Our friendship is based on my absolute personal safety. Should I find myself in danger, I can only save myself; you understand this, and I hope you can forgive me."

"You’re usually in good shape, how did you end up in Peng Bird’s hands? Isn’t that a bit arrogant—not expecting Peng Bird’s group to be so outrageously daring?" Hawk said unpleasantly.

"I feel very sorry about Black Shark’s death. I extend my apologies. As for other matters, don’t worry. I’ll handle it myself," General Hawan said bluntly and then hung up the call.
