Chapter 408:

“Promise me, will you?” He knew she responded better to soft requests rather than demands.

Harlee, with a playful glint in her eyes, placed her fingertips lightly on his lips.

“Sure, but… I’m curious to see how well you’ll do.”

Rhys’ body shivered, a warm smile spreading across his face.

Like comforting a loved one, he lowered his head and said, “Alright, I’ll listen to you. Just give me a chance to show you how strong your boyfriend is.”

“Prove how strong my boyfriend is?” Harlee teased, her tone playful.

“Hmm? Isn’t nighttime the better time for…”

A brief flash of emotion passed through Rhys’ eyes.

He fixed his gaze, steady and determined, as if making a solemn pledge.

“Yes, I’ll prove it once we’re married.”

Harlee gazed into his eyes and suddenly burst into laughter.

He had taken it the wrong way.

Well, that was her fault.

She had pushed the teasing a little too far.

She continued with amusement, “Why do we have to wait until after the wedding to see how strong of a boyfriend you are?”

Rhys blushed slightly, leaned in, and whispered near her ear with a naughty undertone, “What do you think, you little temptress?”

At that moment, Tonya, Ritchie, and Robbie climbed ashore.

As soon as they surfaced, they noticed Harlee and Rhys locked in a gaze, the tension in the air so thick that it felt like they might take their relationship to the next level.

Robbie discreetly averted his gaze, busying himself with his gear.

He felt a pang of envy for their connection.

They let the sun dry their wet clothes as they prepared to resume their journey.

After crossing the crocodile-infested river, the group only had to make their way through the thicket and dense forest to reach the research base.

As they entered the forest, Harlee’s demeanor shifted instantly to one of sharp focus.

“We’re here.”

Harlee focused on a clump of weeds in the distance, her eyes glowing with intensity.

She removed a small explosive device from her pocket, still warm from her touch, and tossed it.

The explosion erupted loudly, startling the wildlife into a frenzy.

Harlee loved this direct and brutal approach.

Had the research base not been located here, she would have already obliterated their hideout with micro bombs.

Tonya, standing by, casually tossed another microbomb she had been holding onto.

The people inside the research base had no chance to react.

Constructed within a cave, the facility collapsed immediately, burying the occupants under debris.

With the people inside the research base taken care of, there were still hidden threats to face.

“They need to be completely eliminated!” Harlee quickly accessed her phone, breached the research base’s secure network, and pinpointed projects beneficial to mankind.

Harlee’s eyes, cold and precise, scanned the biochemical weapon data displayed on her screen.

Her fingers danced across the keyboard, deleting harmful files without hesitation.

During her digital onslaught, Harlee recalled her dealings with Matteo and secured the formulas and procedures for drug production.

Focused, she continued to sabotage all of the research base’s online platforms.

Tonya, along with Ritchie and Robbie, wasn’t idle either.

They split into three groups, targeting any remaining threats.

Moments later, Tonya apprehended the research base’s director, uncovering extensive details about their operations.

The Uwhor government had mobilized an army of ten thousand to explore the rainforest base in groups, supported by several air force deployments to establish communication over the rainforest.

After conducting thousands of experiments, they made sure everything was in place before bringing in the biochemical professors in groups.

A year ago, the professors gradually adjusted to the rainforest environment and set up communication links with the military and the outside world, marking the start of their biochemical weapon experiments.

The rainforest environment, so different from Uwhor, greatly hindered their experimental capabilities, leading to the creation of only mediocre biochemical weapons.

Uwhor’s high-ranking officials, determined not to waste resources, reached out to the soon-to-be-disbanded Dark Night, offering to supply them with a never-ending supply of drugs.

The raw materials for those drugs came from failed biochemical weapons.

“Damn it!” Ritchie shouted, seizing the director’s collar.
