NovelOnlineThe personnel in front only noticed the dead staff when they arrived at the signal center half an hour later. They immediately
reported the incident to King, who was the chief commander. “What did you say? They've all been killed? By whom?”
“There are sfootprints at the scene, and these footprints disappear at the entrance of the cave. Chief Commander, these
people have also gone underground. Surely they are not. targeting Mr. Quarles?!”
King's face turned grave. These people were most likely the ones they had detected through the external signals the previous
night. He instantly realized that they might be responsible for this disaster. Not only that, Ethan was their target.
“Quick... Quickly contact the nearest rescue team and request immediate reinforcements. We've cin contact with enemy
forces,” King urgently commanded. It seemed that relying solely on the base's rescue efforts was no longer sufficient; they needed
to deploy more rescue personnel.
His greatest concern was Ethan's safety. Since he hadn't had a chance to learn about everything that had transpired, it was too
dangerous for him to be inside the cave at this moment.

Suddenly, a loud explosion as if something had detonated underneath cfrom underground. The terrifying tremors proceeded
to knock King to the ground. He crawled on the floor and shouted in distress, “The president is in danger!”
All rescue operations immediately cto a halt. But strangely enough, due to the earthquake-like tremor, srocks blocking
the cave entrance rolled away, revealing a passageway.
“Chief Commander, good news! The earthquake just now opened up the cave entrance. We only need to wait a little longer before
we can go down and rescue them.”
“Quick, prepare yourselves to go in for the rescue,” King instructed. He then grabbed someone next to him. “Assign four people to
me. I'm going to the back mountain to take a look.”
After reaching the back mountain, King was left dumbfounded. The cave entrance, which had been smooth just moments ago, was
now completely blocked by the snow that had fallen from above. The entrance was nowhere to be seen.
“Mr. Quarles!” Startled, King fell to his knees with his hands covering his face, his mind blank. He was at a loss for what to do in
this situation. He didn’t even have a rescue plan, and he had no idea about the situation or if there had been a collapse below. How
were the people trapped inside supposed to survive?
“Mr. Ethan! Mr. Ethan!” Jacques ran over from behind. His eyes nearly popped out, and he almost fainted from shock when he saw
the situation in front of him.
“How could this happen? King, you have to save Mr. Ethan!” he shouted at King, who was standing there as a feeling of
helplessness filled him.
Half an hour later, the more than twenty trapped miners in the mine were rescued, none of them with serious injuries. Meanwhile,
a large-scale rescue team had been contacted to conduct a land rescue for Ethan and his group.
King was anxiously wiping away his cold sweat, while Jacques held his phone, taking deep breaths but hesitated to call the Quarles
Family. The plight before their eyes was too despairing.

The entire cave entrance was buried deep in snow, and even if they wanted to dig through it, it was already beyond the best time
to rescue the people underneath. Moreover, they had no idea about the condition inside the cave. Now that there had been an
earthquake and an avalanche outside, no one could imagine what was happening inside the cave.
“Mr. Ethan must be alive. He must be alive,” Jacques repeatedly reassured himself. King soon turned to him. “Jacques, quickly
contact the people from the Quarles Family. We must let them know about the current situation.”
“But...how can | contact them? We don’t even know if Mr. Ethan is safe or not. We will only give his family a fright.” “Jacques, calm
down. We need someone from the Quarles Family to chere.” King shook Jacques by the arms forcefully. He knew that neither
of them could shoulder this responsibility.
“0-Okay. | will call Mr. Edward right away.” After saying that, Jacques walked in a certain direction and dialed Edward's number with
trembling hands after distancing himself a bit.
“Jacques! Did something happen?” A dignified elderly male voice rang out from the other end of the call. “B-Bad news, Mr. Edward.
Mr. Ethan is in trouble!” Jack stammered
