Chapter 89 - 87
Facing Colonel Rhodes's gun, the woman turned around, revealing a stunning face full of exotic charm. Her beauty was both mature and captivating, yet she carried an opposite sense of purity. The combination of the two gave her an indescribable allure.
Her green eyes sparkled like gems, filled with emotion, and just looking at them made the air feel warmer. Rhodes swore that any man would be instantly captivated by the woman in front of him.
He found himself momentarily stunned, a dangerous lapse for a soldier. Thankfully, he quickly regained his composure, suppressing the heat rising within him. Tightening his grip on the pistol, he aimed it directly between her eyes.
"Who are you? How did you get in here?" Rhodes demanded.
This was a military camp. Even though there weren't many soldiers outside, it wasn't the kind of place an ordinary person could just walk into.
"Nice to meet you, Colonel Rhodes," the woman said with a soft smile, her red lips curving upwards. She didn't seem fazed by the gun at all. Instead, she spoke in a low, almost teasing voice, "We are not enemies, and I don't think the thing in your hand poses any threat to me."
"Yeah?" Rhodes replied, maintaining a calm and dismissive demeanor, though in reality, sweat was beginning to bead on his forehead. He was starting to realize that this woman might not be bluffing. Despite her beauty, there was something about her that felt monstrously dangerous—like she wore the skin of a human, but hid the ferocity of a beast underneath.
Just looking into her striking green eyes filled him with an inexplicable fear. It was unsettling, and for the first time in a long while, Colonel Rhodes felt his fighting spirit waver.
It was terrifying.
