Chapter 1077 The Secret Military Base

As the last two military helicopters landed on the tarmac, the military base immediately initiated airspace restriction protocols.
During this period, if any flying object were to pass over the airspace of Rovermore Island, the air defense system wouldn't even need to ask for identification. It would immediately launch a missile to shoot it down.
This defensive measure had been in place since long ago, so the members of Sole Wolf were all used to it.
If any members were out on a mission during the day and couldn't make it back in time, they would rather spend the night outside than choose to return to Rovermore Island.
As the night-time security system was activated, the sentries who had been on guard on Rovermore Island the whole day instantly relaxed.
Right now, the entire Rovermore Island was as secure as a fortified castle, making it impossible for anyone outside to bypass the layers of security systems and reach the island.
“Hanson, has Raphael been honest so far?”
Seeing Hanson, dressed in a military green vest, walk out of the room, Benji poured a beer and handed it over.
Hanson laughed heartily. “Raphael might be the most cowardly rich man I've ever met. We didn't even need to threaten him. Ask him anything, and he'll answer you without concealing anything.”
Curling his lips, he went on, “He's been too cooperative, to the point where I can't even find an excuse to lay a hand on him. Captain Maxime even asked me to go out and see if there's any barbecue or something to bring back for the fellow.”
Hearing Hanson say this, Benji also let out a sigh.
They had kidnapped other wealthy individuals before, but none of them had been as composed as Raphael.
They always tried to reason with the members of Sole Wolf, even attempting to negotiate with them.
Sole Wolf had never been one to indulge such individuals.
Once they gave those rich people a good beating, the latter would learn to behave themselves.
That was why Hanson said he felt a bit regretful that he didn't get to teach Raphael a lesson this time.
Being able to give a good thrashing to the wealthy was the best way for mercenaries like them to vent their frustrations.
“That fellow is surprisingly accepting of his fate. Doesn't he realize that even if he gives away all his money, he'll still end up dead in the end?”
Hanson shrugged and said, “I bet he knows and is just playing along; he's not really stupid. The captain said he's just stalling for time, seemingly waiting for someone to come rescue him.”
Hearing Hanson say this made Benji laugh even harder.
Sole Wolf's military base had always been kept a top secret from the outside world.
In other words, apart from a few high-ranking officials in certain countries who knew about this secret military island, no one else had any idea about the existence of Rovermore Island. Hence, where were the other mercenaries that Raphael had hired supposed to go to rescue him?
“All right, I'm going to check if there's any barbecue or something to eat over there, maybe grab a little something for that guy too.”
With that, Hanson moved to leave.
Just then, two base pilots clad in military green flight suits walked in from outside.
Hanson originally thought they were just passing each other by.
However, one of them suddenly struck like lightning, landing a punch directly on Hanson's throat.
Hanson's eyes bulged as he looked at the two in disbelief.
He didn't even have a chance to scream before he fell to the ground, completely motionless.
“Who are you people!”
Sensing something was amiss, Benji was just about to stand up when he was suddenly hit hard in the stomach by a punch.
Benji felt as if his insides were about to be rearranged.
As he was kneeling on the ground clutching his stomach, one of them removed his helmet and sat down on a small stool nearby, asking, “I'll only ask you once: where is Raphael?”
