Chapter 2223

No, not in this lifetime, Ethan whispered to himself. He couldn’t bear the consequences of her leaving

him. If he lost her, everything in his life would lose its meaning. “Josephine, I miss you,” Ethan

murmured softly to the woman on the screen.

At this moment, someone was lurking in a cave outside the communication range of the base. They

had come here with only one purpose-to kill Ethan.

“President Presgrave has instructed us to deliver results within a week. We must find an opportunity to

carry out our mission.”

“As long as we complete this task, each one of us will receive 150 thousand. We must stay focused for

the sake of the money.”

When they heard about the money, they felt a burst of energy wash over them as killing intent filled

their eyes. Some photos were displayed on the adjacent wall, and at the forefront was their target,

Ethan..

Underneath Ethan’s photo was a list of international engineers. There were too many people in this

world whol would rather gamble their life away in pursuit of their own interests.

Ethan was just about to go to sleep when he heard a knock on his door. The identification system next

to him showed that it was King, the chief engineer of his base. He opened the door and asked, “What’s

the matter?”

“Mr. Quarles, our system detected a faint signal, but it’s definitely not from our company. I suspect

someone is approaching our base.”

“Can you pinpoint their exact location?” Ethan asked, his brows furrowed. This wasn’t the first time

something like this had happened. On top of him facing two assassination attempts here, he had also

gone through similar events throughout his life. He was adept at dealing with such situations.

“Not yet, but they should be hiding in a cave. We will monitor the situation carefully. Please be careful

in your future travels, Mr. Quarles.”

“I understand. Keep a close eye on this,” Ethan instructed. “I will inform you immediately if there are

any developments. Goodnight, Mr. Quarles,” King uttered and left.

Ethan went back to his bed after that. Great interests always came with dangers, and his family had

had to deal with pirates and negotiation tasks with various countries over the years. He had even taken

life with his own hands in the process. Now that the company was under his control, he was well aware

of the risks that lay ahead..

The next afternoon, Ethan was in a meeting with several high-level executives when an employee

rushed in. “There’s been an avalanche, and more than a dozen employees are trapped underneath.

They are in urgent need of rescue!”

At that, Ethan commanded in a solemn voice, “Immediately halt all ongoing projects and initiate the

rescue operation.”

He stood up after giving the order, but King immediately stopped him. “Mr. Quarles, it’s not advisable

for you to go.”

“It’s a matter of life and death for our employees. I have to go,” Ethan replied. As the boss, he couldn’t

shirk any responsibilities while being present.

After Ethan left the base, his bodyguards quickly arranged a convoy of six vehicles to protect him as he

headed to the mining site. where the accident happened. There were numerous vehicles rushing ahead

for the rescue operation along the way.

A substantial amount of rescue supplies had already been set up five kilometers outside the mine, and

the security personnel were carrying out those who were injured from inside. When Ethan arrived, he

quickly got out of the car to inspect the situation. Fortunately, those being carried out still showed signs
