Chapter 1783: Main port
[Zoren, Atlas, and Hugo’s group]
When their group neared the main port of their designated island, everyone was wary and tense. Even before reaching it, they had already turned off their engines and kept their weapons ready.
"No one’s there," said one of the soldiers in his boat, lifting the binoculars to his eyes again. "I see no one."
"Keep looking," another man uttered, flashing lights on the main port just in case. "This could be an ambush. Don’t lower your guard."
As for Hugo, he walked closer to the deck and raised his foot. He held his rifle across from him, watching the port for any enemies. But even when they reached it and anchored, no enemy showed up or opened fire.
It was empty.
Mark and Angel were the first to jump out of the boat, followed by their men, who spread out to check the vicinity for anything suspicious. Meanwhile, Hugo stayed close to Zoren and Atlas, ensuring that the two of them would land safely.
"Sir, there’s nothing," one of the men rushed back to Mark, who quickly approached his boss and Zoren’s brothers-in-law.
"The area is clear," Mark reported.
The other three exchanged glances, but before they could speak, they saw Angel running toward them. When the others saw people behind him, they raised their rifles at the newcomers.
"It’s alright!" Hugo yelled, raising a hand as he eyed the men following Angel. "I know them. They’re my comrades."
"Lieutenant!" The first soldier, who was closer to Angel, slowed down, stopping a few steps from Hugo. He didn’t even glance at the others, even when they raised their rifles.
