A War-Ravaged Land

The short but brutal battle that ensued from the ambush finally ended. Realizing that they could not gain the upper hand, some of the enemy members retreated. Hao Ren returned to the mercenary group and saw Nolan jumping down the truck, on which a heavy machine gun sat. The girl, who was seemingly just a teenager was still expressionless as if everything that just happened was just make-believe. She never once showed signs of panic or anger.

"Khiton's a turncoat. He's defected to the rangers," Nolan informed her teammates about what unfolded on the truck. "It was my oversight."

Hao Ren remembered the scene where she fired back with the rotary machine gun on the truck amid heavy enemy fire. She was brave but reckless, putting herself in danger by exposing herself in the rain of bullets. As an outsider, Hao Ren did not want to comment, so he just nodded with a wry smile. "You're impressive."
