Chapter 2914: Chapter 104: Alone in the Cave

Ben Lucas hurriedly led Harrison Lucas towards the hideout, the footsteps behind them getting closer and more urgent.

Just as Ben Lucas anticipated, most of their pursuers followed his direction, while only a few were pretending to chase the remaining comrades.

It seemed like they only wanted to drive people away, cutting off their assistance, rather than genuinely capture those soldiers.

"They’re coming for you..." Harrison Lucas gritted her teeth and glanced at the people behind them. She could barely support herself earlier, but now her shoulder blade was aching increasingly, and she didn’t know how much longer she could endure.

At that moment, all Harrison Lucas wanted was to be with the young master, so she clenched her teeth and followed desperately.

But now, she regretted it.

She was injured and should not stay by the young master’s side and burden him.

"Young Master..." Harrison Lucas grabbed the man’s aleeve, "Forget about me, give me a gun and a grenade, leave me by the roadside, and I’ll cover for you." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

"Nonsense, you’re my person, how could I, Ben Lucas, ever abandon you?" The man’s dark brows furrowed deeply, gripping tightly the young person sliding down his body, propping ’him’ up, and moving ’him’ forward swiftly.

Harrison Lucas closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, saying, "Then pretend I’m not your person, we now part ways, no relation at all."

She would rather have the young master blame her and stay behind to block those people for him.

The footsteps behind became increasingly close, leaving Harrison Lucas without choices.

Ben Lucas abruptly halted his swift steps and looked down at Harrison Lucas with a glare.

He harshly said in a cold voice, "Even if you’re not my person, you’re still my soldier. I, Ben Lucas, never abandon a single comrade!"

After speaking, the man seemed to suddenly remember the pursuers behind and decisively carried Harrison Lucas horizontally, continuing to move forward swiftly.

However, carrying someone, they could never match the speed of the pursuers behind.

Before long, they were forced into a dead end.

In front was an endless abyss, behind were ruthless desperadoes. Ben Lucas looked down at Harrison Lucas who still wished to struggle in his arms and suddenly asked: "Debby, are you afraid of dying?"

Harrison Lucas froze, not expecting Ben Lucas to ask this, after a second of disbelief said: "I’m scared, I’m scared you die, I’m not afraid of my own death. Young Master, what are you trying to do!"

She felt an ominous premonition.

Ben Lucas: "Their target is me, perhaps because of my identity, or perhaps it’s the military secrets hidden in my mind. I cannot be captured and threatened... Debby, if you’re scared of dying, I’ll hide you in the dense forest over there, if you’re not afraid, come down with me."

Below is an endless abyss, this is what Ben Lucas meant by his words.

Harrison Lucas’s gaze fiercely narrowed, she was not afraid of dying, certainly not.

If forced to choose between surviving or accompanying the young master, Harrison Lucas would unhesitatingly choose: "Alright, I’ll go with you."

A dark gleam flickered in Ben Lucas’s deep black eyes.

There was an unprecedented satisfaction in his heart; he was essentially a selfish person, possessive.

If Debby feared and chose to live alone, he wouldn’t blame him.

But in truth, he certainly preferred to be entwined with Harrison Lucas for a lifetime, sharing life and death.

"Alright, then we’ll jump together..." After speaking, Ben Lucas held Harrison Lucas and jumped down the cliff under the encirclement of pursuers.

...

Perhaps fate hadn’t abandoned them, Ben Lucas somehow managed to catch a thick branch grown between the cliffs midway.

He clung to the branch, dragging the already unconscious Harrison Lucas up to the halfway down the mountain, where he found a hidden cave to rest.

The cave was damp and cold, while the mist outside was still dense.

Ben Lucas took out a lighter he always carried and started a fire deeper inside the cave.

The dancing flames illuminated Harrison Lucas’s face, pale from excessive blood loss. Ben Lucas looked down at the torn bulletproof vest and filthy bloodstains she had.

Frowning, he first removed her damaged bulletproof vest.
