Chapter 1041

“You moron.” Captain Anderson jumped in the hole and hugged him. Using the last of his strength to
pat him on the back, Richard replied, “Don’t worry, Captain Anderson. I-I won’t let your mission fail…”
He fainted after saying those words.

“Captain Lloyd!”

“It’s fine. He just fainted. Carry him quickly to the car and bring him back.” Captain Anderson looked at
him being taken away, and remarked, “You really are one tough young man.”

They kept Richard warm in the car while administering first aid to him, and the entire team was
discussing him. He had a vivid dream. It began when he drifted in and out of consciousness while
buried in snow, and this dream was the only thing keeping him alive. In the dream, a woman smiled
and kept calling out to him.

“Richard, you can do it! You must come back!”

“I’m waiting for you, Richard! Don’t you die on me!”

“Richard…”



It was the sound of Angela’s voice.She would constantly smile at him, and at one moment, she would
cry and beg him to come to her. Her words gave him strength while he was buried deep beneath the
snow. Little by little, he climbed. Even though he was on the brink of death, he forced himself to stay
alive so that he could see her again. Whatever he promised her, he was going to keep it.

Midway through the drive, Richard experienced a high fever and fell unconscious. When he was in
such a state of delirium, everyone could hear him mumble, “Angela!”




Everyone can guess who Angela is. It must be the woman Richard loves! Did he only manage to crawl
out from the snow because this person gave him the strength he needed?

Meanwhile, at the vice-president’s office, the man who had just hung up the phone heaved a massive
sigh as if releasing some tension. He had just finished hearing about the most recent situation. The
news was both startling and reassuring. They had completed the mission and were on their way back.

Ren phoned Scarlet to deliver the news. He would not mention the unpleasant process; only a safe
return result will be reported.

“Really? Richard completed his mission and victoriously returned?” She shed joyful tears.

“Yes. Richard finally got his wish.”

“That’s great. Richard has finally avenged his father. I believe his heart can now be at peace. He is not
hurt, is he?”

“Mostly superficial injuries. There isn’t much other than a fracture in his leg.”

“We don’t even know how bad his injury is!” Scarlet still felt pain in her heart since she couldn’t bear the
thought of her son being injured.

“It is nothing. He’ll get treated when he returns.”

“Ren, try to transfer him back! After all, he and Angela will soon be married. I don’t want him to follow in
his father’s footsteps by constantly traveling the world.”

“Okay! I’ll work to get him transferred back within this year.”

Scarlet cheerfully replied, “That will be great. If that happens, I’ll be there to keep him company. We’ve
grown apart since he hasn’t been staying with me all these years.” She then questioned, “Is the



Translation Department also hiring?”

“I’m not too sure. Why?”

“Ruka will be returning soon. So, I wanted to find out whether they were hiring. If they are, she can give
it a shot because she specializes in translation.”

“Ruka has returned?” Ren asked, his voice solemn.

“Yes. She’ll be back by next week.

“Okay. I’ll ask around,” he calmly stated.

After the call ended, he contacted the Translation Department. “Are you planning to hire?”
