Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down novel Chapter 67

Screech! The two screeched to a stop just barely a meter from each other. Logan sweated profusely and gave up! Matt was a lunatic!

Matt kicked the dirt and dashingly raised his head. He raised his eyebrows and said solemnly, “My men are all over this mountain. Where do you think you’re going?”

Logan looked at the jets overhead and then said sounded defeated, “Matt, it’ll be worth it if I take you along when I die!”

Matt heard the familiar words and his pupils rapidly constricted. He stared at Logan and said, “Who the hell are you?”

Logan removed his mask and Matt was stunned to see that familiar face. No wonder he was unable to wipe out Cosmos three years ago. He had always suspected that someone leaked their movement. Now he had an explanation to it.

“Matt, it had been a while,” Logan said.

“I’m glad that you’re still alive!” Matt said in return.

Matt was devastated when he heard of his man Bobby Duncan’s demise during the attack on Cosmos. Henceforth he would personally lead any dangerous missions to ensure the safety of his men.

Logan looked at Matt with a trace of hatred, “What a pity… I’ve always wanted you dead!”

He then sped up to run over Matt. Matt jumped up and did a backflip. He then managed to grab Logan and pin him to the ground. The 4WD careened off the cliff while the scrambler tumbled onto the ground with its back wheel still spinning and kicking up dust from the ground.

Matt used his knee to pin Logan’s neck to the ground. Only now did they barely dodge death.

Matt looked at Logan with bloodshot eyes and demanded, “Why?”

He admitted that he was very strict with his men but he had gone through thick and thin with them. He even valued them more than his own life and did not feel that he had mistreated them.

Logan suddenly burst into a guffaw. He took a deep breath and the veins on his forehead throbbed when he yelled, “Because you killed my father! Ten years ago, he had a political disagreement with Abram Cohen, but was then labeled a traitor by him! Even the Cosmos that he built up was listed as a terrorist organization! He even wanted me as a son to kill my father! Matt! The person who you trusted is nothing but an animal!”

Matt released him, stood up, patted the dirt off his body, and said, “Leave.”

Logan looked at Matt in surprise as he thought that he had heard it wrong. “You’re really letting me go?”

“I’m letting you go, firstly on account of our years of friendship and secondly, you are hardly any match for me. I can easily destroy you when I want to.”

Logan struggled to his feet and then grinned, “Matt, I don’t want to owe you anything. I’ll now tell you a ten-year-old secret about your wife. I’m sure you would be interested.”

…

At this moment, Winona was in the military vehicle stopped at the foot of Leatane Tips. Horsmeny Deep was not far away and Felix went out to relieve himself.

At this moment, several soldiers dredged up a scrambler from the Horsmeny Deep and Felix recognized the wolf symbol etched onto the scrambler and exclaimed, “Eh? Isn’t that Matt’s scrambler?”

At this moment, Herman said, “Logan escaped from Phantom Walk. The mission is terminated.”

He looked up towards Phantom Walk and then back at the scrambler. Instantly his face turned pale.

He then grabbed his two-way radio and yelled, “Matt, calling Matt!”

Felix’s face turned paler when there was no reply.

Winona asked, “Felix, what’s wrong?”

“Winona, Matt… Logan had escaped. Matt… Matt could be in the water and his status is unknown!”

“Are… are you sure?” Winona asked in surprise.

“Oh oh… Phantom Walk is narrow and only wide enough for one person to pass. If Logan managed to escape, that meant that Matt had been hurt. Otherwise, Matt would never let Logan escape.”

When Winona was stunned, the soldiers fished out a body from the water. She quickly ran towards the body but stopped abruptly. She slowed down as she was not sure if she wanted to see if that corpse was Matt.

“What’s this?” The soldiers took out a shiny object from the corpse’s hand. Winona ran over and looked at the object. It was Matt’s lucky charm. She held her breath and slowly looked towards the corpse. The body figure looked similar. Even the teeth marks on the back of the neck looked familiar. But the face had been smashed beyond recognition from falling down the cliff.

“Matt…”

She knelt on the ground and grabbed his collar. Her eyes were red and gritted her teeth, “Damn it! You said that we’ll be together for life! You promised me a grand wedding. Why did you break your promise?”

“I've finished the design of our rings and I’ve tried the wedding gown several times. The wedding invitation cards are ready. I planned to write them together with you when you are back. Why did you do this to me?”

“You caused all these. You made me fall in love with you! This was my one and only bet in life…”

At this point, a voice behind her said nonchalantly, “How could I let you lose when you bet your life on me?”

She was stunned and slowly turned around. She then saw Matt sitting on the vehicle with his arms folded and grinning at her. The setting sun behind him gave him a golden glow. He was covered with dust and grinning sheepishly as if the world was his stage.

Winona dashed over and he embraced her with open arms. She jumped into his arms and clung to his neck. Her legs wrapped around his waist and hugged him like there was no tomorrow.

“Scoundrel!” She bit down on his lips and started to kiss him repeatedly. His hands were supporting her firm butt and he started to feel aroused.

She was kissing, crying, and laughing all at once. Her face was wet with hears and she looked beautiful with the golden sun rays reflecting off her face.

“Stop crying. Otherwise, I’d have to fuck you right now.” He placed her straight into the vehicle and drove off. Before he left, he ordered the soldier, “Strip Felix and throw him into the water to feed the fishes.”

Felix yelled, “Matt, you ingrate!”

It was only a misunderstanding. But suddenly Felix was thrown into the sea. A shark chased Felix and he swam for his life dressed only in his cartoon underwear.

The men of the FALCON Team had already gathered at the foot of the mountain. They were used to seeing such a scene and just looked on shaking their heads.

Herman then remarked in jest, “He just won’t learn.”

Kevin swung his fists and cheered for the shark, “Yeah, bite him! Bite him!”

Woody looked around and asked, “Where did Matt and Winona go?”

A moment later, they received a message: It’s easy for the forest to catch fire during a drought. I’m going for a drive. Don’t wait up.

They all grinned knowingly. Matt must be turned on after seeing Winona. No need to be so euphemistic!
