My Perfect Female CEO

Chapter 1333: Chapter 1333: Fear

In the camp at the edge of a certain city in D Country. freewёbnoνel.com

At this moment, the camp has sounded the alarm, with heavy guards as if facing a formidable enemy.

"What happened?"

"Why do the general and the people who came back with him look so terrified, did they encounter a devil?"

"I guess they really encountered a devil." freeweɓnøvel.com

"What devil, I heard from someone who came back, they encountered seven enemies and were beaten into a desperate retreat."

"Seven people? Haha, you’re exaggerating. How could the mighty general be so scared by just seven people?"

"It really was seven people, the Peng Bird group, a total of seven, incredibly formidable, even scarier than a devil."

"Who is Peng Bird?"

"Seems like they’re assassins, quite mysterious and formidable, with tales around the area that Peng Bird is not to be messed with."

"Hiss, is this Peng Bird really that formidable?"

"Indeed, they are."

"No wonder the general suffered such a defeat, losing so many people. I heard that nearly sixty percent of those who went out died."

"Except for those who came back, everyone else died."

"What? So many of the general’s people died?"

The warriors whispered among themselves, panic spreading as they glanced at their companions who collapsed on the ground, exhausted from escaping for their lives, each feeling a chill, trembling with fear.

The warriors who survived the ordeal rested on a vast piece of land, devoid of souls, incredibly haunting.

They barely made it out alive, almost dying in the mountains and woods.

Bringing back the feeling of panic to the camp, the group was truly on edge.

This is General Hawan’s stronghold.

Inside the camp, General Hawan and Black Shark sat on the sofa, looking bitter. This escape was excruciatingly tough.

Initially, General Hawan was wary of the Peng Bird seven, now turned into fear.

Yes, it was fear. He felt a sense of terror towards Peng Bird’s seven men.

After losing contact with a three-hundred-man force against the Peng Bird seven, General Hawan began retreating, followed by a relentless pursuit by the Peng Bird, and he gradually sensed the approaching terror.

If not for the number of people by his side and the reinforcements he had arranged, the small force by his side could not have held against Peng Bird’s pursuit.

It was during the pursuit that General Hawan deeply realized the horror of the Peng Bird seven, thus growing fearful.

General Hawan and Black Shark managed to escape thanks to the sacrifice of Hawan’s men’s lives.

Relying on the constant sacrifice of lives, General Hawan and Black Shark got their chance at survival.

"Captain Black Shark, this is my camp. We’re safe now that we’re back here, you can completely relax, no need to worry," General Hawan reassured Black Shark, actually also comforting himself.

His stronghold was naturally secure, but due to the intimidation brought by the Peng Bird seven, he couldn’t be sure if the camp was really safe. Any change in circumstances could lead to a near-death situation.

General Hawan didn’t care about how many men he lost; as long as he was unscathed, nothing mattered more.

The ones who died did so to create a chance for his survival; it was a worthy cause.

As for money, General Hawan did not mention that anymore. After incurring such a powerful foe as Peng Bird, talking about rewards would be inappropriate and irresponsible for his own safety.

"Many thanks to General Hawan for saving my life, I will forever remember this great kindness," Black Shark gratefully said. "In General Hawan’s stronghold, I have no worries at all now; with all the defenses in place, I reckon Peng Bird’s seven would not dare to trespass, that would be suicide."

He was truly unworried now; this was the safest place, even under the fear of Peng Bird’s seven. Having a secure refuge, he could genuinely relax without considering anything else.

Even if by any chance Peng Bird’s seven infiltrated the camp, the place was large enough that they wouldn’t be able to find him.

Black Shark was completely at ease, believing any sensible person wouldn’t do such foolish things.

"Indeed, Peng Bird’s seven wouldn’t dare to storm my camp, that’s for sure," General Hawan said with a smile. "After this ordeal, Captain Black Shark and I have shared difficulties, forging a priceless friendship. I want to ask, what are Captain Black Shark’s plans next?"

"Naturally, I would bother General Hawan for a few days, it isn’t safe for me to go out now. Only your camp is safe," Black Shark clearly understood his circumstances. Even with any action, it would be too risky; he had to contact his brother to see the next move. He currently had no capability to flee to the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps’ base; any move would be suicidal."

He harbored no doubts. Facing Peng Bird’s deadly hunt would be fatal.

"You stay here in peace, we’ll discuss the rest later," said General Hawan. "As for what Hawk plans to do, you should inquire; I have no time to actively contact him, such a great loss is disgraceful to me."

"I will," Black Shark nodded in agreement.

"If Hawk plans to come for you, wait for your pickup quicken, or if plans are to eliminate Peng Bird’s seven here, I will cooperate without condition. I consider myself Peng Bird’s enemy now; caught in this flooding torrent, I have no retreat," General Hawan conceded solemnly. "Although, if you leave, Peng Bird seeking revenge seems unlikely, to hedge against contingencies, we must consider all instabilities. If Peng Bird holds a grudge and targets me for revenge, I would be in a dire situation. The only condition for peace is to completely eliminate the enemy."

General Hawan understood this truth clearly; having come this far, he could only advance down this path.

Until completely safe, Peng Bird’s seven were absolute adversaries.

"Since General Hawan puts it this way, what more can I say? Regardless of my brother’s instructions, I will stay to face the enemy with General Hawan," Black Shark assured. "Now, with Peng Bird’s seven targeting my Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps, this is a life-and-death situation. I trust my brother will wisely choose. With General Hawan’s assistance, we shall strengthen our force, applying pressure and intimidation to the enemy."

Black Shark spoke truthfully, with nothing hidden.

"I refuse to believe it; can seven people defy the heavens, hmph," General Hawan snorted, channeling fear into murderous intent.

This disgrace and formidable enemy, General Hawan would not rest until dealt with.
