Chapter 1060 Coming to an End
Jerry looked at the fully armed men in front of him with a stormy expression. He never expected thatColton would actually have the ability to bring in the Pioneers in order to confront them. As a result, hismen were no match for Colton's disciplined troops, and they were easily defeated with just a few blows.
Meanwhile, Wendy cowered behind Beryl. In all of her years of living, she had never seen anything likethis, and the fright caused her to tremble like a leaf.
When Beryl caught sight of Wendy's terrified expression, he couldn't help but soften his tone as hesoothed her, "It's okay, don't worry. I won't let you get hurt."
Wendy nodded blankly. After she had spent a long time in a place where the sun didn't shine, she hadlost all of her previous shine and was a husk of what she was before.
Jerry scowled. He knew very clearly that if things went on like this, he would be the one to suffer.Eventually, he clenched his fists, turned to one of the men beside him, and growled, "Go to the fronthall and tell them to bring Colton and the others over!"
It could only be Colton's doing for these men to be able to come to Wendy's rescue. Fortunately, hehad listened to Sasha's words earlier and prevented Colton and the others from leaving, making themhis bargaining chip.
Jerry whipped around to look at Sasha. In the current battle, with the number of injured men on his end,they were unable to compete with a trained army even if they were heavily armed.
"This is all because of you," he hissed through gritted teeth.
He had spent five years constructing this base, only for it to be blasted into smithereens in just a singlenight.
Sasha coldly looked at the frantic man before her, thinking to herself, Useless trash.
She crossed her arms in front of her chest and said in an icy voice, "This is the path you had chosenfor yourself. You can't blame anyone but yourself."
Jerry's eyes burned with anger, and any favorable feelings he felt toward this woman immediatelydissipated. If he had known that the Gardner Family was capable of this, he would never have helpedher in the first place. And yet, he was now in a tight spot but unable to do anything about it.
"I'm telling you; I'll never forgive you for this!" Jerry snarled viciously.
As soon as he finished speaking, the man he sent to look for Colton returned with a head full of sweat.He ran to Jerry's side and reported, "Boss, those people have already escaped. They're not there."
A trace of panic flashed past Jerry's eyes. It seemed that Colton had prepared for this moment longago!
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment before he spoke, "Okay, I got it. Call one of the teamsover and start withdrawing some of the supplies and troops. This is not the time to fight them head-on."
Once he finished speaking, he immediately began his preparations. He couldn't stay here any longer,or he might eventually lose his life.
After his subordinate heard the order, the man hurriedly began to get ready for their retreat as well.
Jerry shot a glance at Sasha but ultimately didn't say anything else and turned around to leave.
After Jerry left, a hint of hatred finally appeared in Sasha's eyes. She thought that she would be able tothoroughly drag Colton through the dirt by selling herself, but she never expected him to keep a trick uphis sleeve. On the other hand, Jerry was clearly not going to continue the battle.
Besides, even if Undercity deployed all of their troops, they were most likely not a match for thePioneers. She had truly and utterly lost.
As she looked into the distance, a smile suddenly appeared on Sasha's face. In all her years of living,her only purpose to survive had always been Colton. She had believed that it would be enough for heras long as she had him, but after Alvin left, she realized how meaningless her existence was.
She couldn't defeat Colton nor drag him down with her. At that thought, a crazed glint appeared in hereyes, and she grabbed a nearby gun before charging forward. If she was going to die, then so be it.After all, she had nothing worth living for in this world any longer.
Things finally came to an end with the retreat of Jerry's men. Still, his base had been well andthoroughly overrun by the end of it.
