Stronger Every Time I Die

Chapter 658 The Stand-Off

Even after a full day and night, he still hadn’t recovered from the shock. Just now, Wind drawing his gun and firing at a high-ranking Tamaria official without a word had left Ryder in a cold sweat. Just a day ago, he was still thinking of how to use strategy to rescue his daughter. He never imagined Arthur would choose to face them head-on! What’s more—he actually succeeded! Completely steamrolling them! He forced the emperor to come out in person to receive them—and even scolded the emperor into silence? And that President Holland, whom they had always seen as a powerful and unreachable enemy, had his mouth blown apart by Wind for saying just a few disrespectful words to Arthur!!! All of it shattered Ryder’s understanding of reality. Ryder couldn’t help but silently give Arthur a thumbs-up! As expected of Heaven’s Cult—strong! Unbelievably strong! In just two days, Ryder had developed a completely new understanding of Heaven’s Cult. Heaven’s Cult was far more terrifying than he had ever imagined! Before long, Mia was brought over. Along with Mia came Sage. A few bodyguards walked around them with heads lowered—their posture not at all like they were escorting prisoners, but more like they were respectfully escorting honored guests. The moment he saw Mia, Ryder grew visibly emotional. He subconsciously stepped forward two steps, calling out anxiously, “Mia!” At that moment, Mia was still on Tamaria’s ship. Ever since she had been detained by President Holland, she’d lost contact with the outside world. Even when the bodyguards brought her here, they didn’t say much. She had no idea that Ryder and Arthur had come to rescue her. Sage had been locked up with Mia after sending out the message.Facing the overwhelming formation in front of them, Mia and Sage were still a little dazed. But the moment she heard Ryder’s voice, Mia lit up with excitement. “Dad!” “Mia!” Ryder leaned over the edge of the ship, trying to get as close to her as possible. The moment Mia’s group appeared, the bodyguards around Arthur immediately raised their weapons and aimed them at the bodyguards surrounding Mia and Sage! Wind’s gun, on the other hand, was aimed—directly at the emperor!!! The emperor noticed he was being targeted and jumped in fright! A cold sweat broke out on his back from instinctive fear. Wind’s marksmanship—he had just witnessed it firsthand. From such a long distance, he had accurately judged the angle and blown out President Holland’s mouth! Now that Wind had him in his sights, the emperor had no doubt: no matter how he tried to dodge, he likely wouldn’t escape Wind’s bullet!!! Wind’s reputation as a top-level war god wasn’t just for show! And the moment Wind locked his aim onto the emperor, the bodyguards on Tamaria’s side immediately lifted their guns and aimed at Arthur and Wind! Arthur’s voice rang out like a devil from hell, echoing from above, “Bring Mia and Sage over safely—right now! Otherwise, I will flatten Tamaria!” Arthur didn’t speak loudly, but every word hit like a hammer! The emperor didn’t doubt Arthur’s threat at all. His heart jumped. Without any hesitation, the emperor turned and shouted at the bodyguards around him. “Put them down!! All of you—put the guns down!!!” As he spoke, he turned toward President Holland and roared, “President Holland!! What are you waiting for—send them over!!!” The emperor wished he could behead President Holland on the spot!!The bodyguards around the emperor were reluctant, but faced with the emperor’s order, they had no choice but to obey. President Holland’s body trembled uncontrollably. He stuttered angrily at the bodyguards, “Go! Go! Hurry and get them over there!!!” Clearly, the bodyguards were also terrified by the standoff unfolding before them. They were shaking, hands trembling as they quickly shielded Mia and Sage and moved toward the massive aircraft carrier. Arthur immediately sent people to receive them. Before long, Mia and Sage were safely brought aboard. The two were still somewhat dazed. They had imagined many ways Ryder might come to rescue them. They thought the Lovaris family might have to pay a huge ransom. They also worried Arthur might suffer humiliation on their behalf. But they had never imagined that an aircraft carrier would come for them! That such a massive force would arrive in Tamaria’s waters—facing them head-on!!! Ryder, along with Arthur and Ashley, immediately ran to Mia and Sage. They all asked quickly, “Are you okay? Did they hurt you?” Ryder looked Mia over with deep concern. Mia was his only daughter. He had raised her in the palm of his hand since childhood. When he found out she’d been detained by President Holland, Ryder had nearly gone mad with worry! Mia and Sage shook their heads. “We’re okay.” Even so, after being detained without cause and suffering several days of mental torment, Mia finally saw her loved ones—and couldn’t help but tear up.
