Chapter 570: Rescue mission

Xiang Yu looked at him, satisfied, before pulling him along. They walked further into the forest, the sound of crunching leaves under their feet. Soon they reached the edge of the woods, where a massive cliff dropped steeply into the valley below.

In the distance, the research centre stood, its silhouette a stark contrast against the sky. Xiang Yu pointed toward it, his determination evident. "That’s what we are aiming for."

Han Xin was so surprised to see it. It’s not that he didn’t trust Xiang Yu but that after all these years, he had never known that there was the overseer’s research centre so close to his territory. This made him feel ill at ease.

He turned to his sweetheart. "Are you sure they aren’t expecting us?" he asked looking at the facility that seemed highly secure.

Xiang Yu chuckled softly, a sound that vibrated through Han Xin’s chest as he wrapped his arms around Xiang Yu’s waist, drawing him closer. The warmth of their bodies melded together in the crisp air, and Han Xin couldn’t help but bury his chin into the crowning cascade of Xiang Yu’s hair. It was comforting, familiar.

"No one would dare strike at this place," he replied, the hint of a smile evident in his tone. "Not unless they wanted to meet their end."

"Except us," Han Xin murmured, inhaling the sweet floral scent of Xiang Yu. The intimacy of the moment pulled him deeper into the reality of their plan. It was a daring assault that would provoke the bear but he was excited for it.

He wanted to burn the world with his lover and once everything was in ashes they would retreat to their castle and live in peace.

"Yes," Xiang Yu answered, flicking his eyes toward the fading light. "Except us."

Han Xin lifted his chin slightly, his breath brushing against Xiang Yu’s neck and said, "I have your back." Xiang Yu smiled happily, thinking soon his entire family would be together.

The research centre lay still under the dull glow of the moon. Clusters of tall buildings loomed around it, but the only sound that broke the eerie quiet was the chatter of guards communicating through crackling radios. They spoke in low tones, unaware of the storm about to descend upon them. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}

Without warning, a violent explosion erupted in the south, shattering the stillness. The ground trembled as a plume of smoke and debris shot into the night sky. In an instant, the peaceful atmosphere dissolved into chaos. The guards scrambled, urgency overtaking their previous calm as they rushed towards the source of the blast.

Xiang Yu stood at a distance, his focus unwavering. He raised a hand, signalling his team to move in silently. They needed stealth. The perimeter was lined with laser fences, sharp and unyielding. With careful coordination, the team navigated the barriers, slipping through like shadows.
