Chapter 1694 "He's a martial artist personally trained by Chester," Sean replied.
Molly finally understood. "No wonder he has such excellent skills."
Chester was the strongest expert in the Grandset, and those trained by him were exceptional.
Molly breathed a sigh of relief. "With them escorting him, Mr. Shepard will be safe."
Initially, she was worried that Selon wouldn't be able to escape on his own, but now that he had
someone protecting him, she believed they would soon meet up with him.
"Yeah." Sean nodded and glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen.
It was almost midnight.
He wrapped his arm around Molly's shoulder and spoke softly. "You can go for a rest. I’ll watch over
things here."
"But..." Molly was still worried.
She couldn't sleep peacefully until she saw Selon safely leave the base.
Sean knew her concerns and lightly pinched her nose, purposely putting on a serious expression. "You
have to
listen to me. You're pregnant and can't stay up late."
His tone was rarely so serious.
"I know," Molly said, but her eyes were still fixed on the computer screen.Her reluctance was written all over her face.
Sean found it both funny and annoying.
"Look, your top priority now is to take care of your health so that our baby can be healthy."
He caressed Molly’s belly, and his eyes glittered with tenderness.
Molly knew she couldn't outargue him when it came to the baby.
"Okay. I'll go upstairs and rest now."
Molly gave him a helpless glance and reminded him when she got up. "Don't stay up too late. If Selon
comes out safely, come upstairs and rest."
"I know," Sean said with a smile.
Sean watched until she went upstairs and looked back at the computer screen.
While they were talking, something seemed to be amiss in the base.
Alkaid followed the direction Selon had taken and encountered some Base personnel along the way.
They thought she was one of their own and didn't suspect anything.
"The Shepard family is done for. They're crazy to betray the Union," someone said.
"That's for sure. Selon destroyed our most important research. He won't get away," another said.
"But he has someone protecting him. Can we catch him?" asked the first man.
"Nevertheless, we have to chase after him. Otherwise, we'll be the ones in trouble," said the second
man.Alkaid listened quietly to their conversation and learned that Selon was not alone.
She was a little surprised but then thought that it must be someone sent over by her master.
The news relieved her a little.
The people from the Grandset were all skilled in martial arts. They were definitely able to get Selon out
of there.
The black-clad man and his team shared the same thoughts.
Their actions were supposed to be smooth, but they underestimated the Base's determination and
encountered many obstacles along the way.
Fortunately, the opponents were ordinary people and easy to deal with.
"It looks like Ward is bent on killing me," Selon said jokingly despite the tense moment.
The black-clad man misinterpreted it as his apprehension and tried to reassure him. "Don't worry, Mr.
Shepard. We will definitely get you out."
Selon glanced at him and smiled. "Well, we will all leave here safely."
He didn't know what dangers lay ahead, but he hoped that everyone could leave here in one piece.
