The sound of the Barrett rang out, but... the muzzle was aimed at the ground, because the white man's head had already been blown apart! Jason Carter killed him at the very instant the white man pulled the trigger!

Glancing ahead, a confident smile appeared at the corner of Jason Carter's mouth. The fleeing white man in front had also been killed, and the fat middle-aged man was crouching on the ground, trembling.

"Bang!..."

Another gunshot rang out. Jason Carter unhesitatingly killed the fat drug lord.

Immediately after, he walked over to the white man holding the Barrett. Looking at his wide-open, unseeing eyes, he said, "Even though you are one of the world's top five mercenary organizations, even if you were the number one mercenary corps in the world, the borders of China will always be forbidden ground for mercenaries like you! This... will never change!"

"Falcon!"

At that moment, the five members of Panther caught up. When they saw the corpses before them, they all froze in shock.

"Falcon, did I give the order to retreat or not? Didn't you see they had rocket launchers? If they were still in the jungle, with cover to hide behind, you'd be dead by now! Do you understand?"

Panther shouted loudly, almost roaring. He glanced at the battlefield and immediately understood what had happened—Jason Carter had taken advantage of the terrain.

"Sir, I would never have fired before they left the jungle! Even if they hadn't let their guard down, even if they hadn't been careless, I would have found a way to kill them, and I could have done it!"

Jason Carter gave a military salute and shouted loudly.

"Do you realize you were disobeying orders? And who told you to kill that drug lord? Don't you know he had a lot of intelligence we needed?"

Panther heard Jason Carter's answer, walked up to him, and stared at him as he questioned.

"Sir, I know, but I had to do it! Even if it means facing a military tribunal or being discharged, I still had to do it!"

Recalling his company commander, Jason Carter answered without hesitation.

"Second Lieutenant Falcon, what's your reason for doing this?" Panther stared at Jason Carter, almost shouting.

"Sir, Lieutenant Panther, that's my personal business. Even if you're the captain, you have no right to pry into my privacy!" Jason Carter met Panther's gaze, his expression resolute.

Jason Carter's character was just like his codename—Falcon!

The nature of a falcon is brave, fearless, strong, and unyielding, and so is Jason Carter.

Somewhere in a Chinese military district, the Sharp Blade Special Forces unit.

Jason Carter was locked in a sealed room, sitting on a wooden bench, his eyes calm, without any emotional fluctuation.

Disobeying a military order is no small matter. He knew the outcome he was about to face—there were only two possibilities: discharge from the army or a military tribunal.

But no matter what the outcome, he had no regrets, because he had fulfilled his promise to his company commander, and his conscience was clear!

Just then, the door opened, and a middle-aged man with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a tall and upright figure, and an imposing presence walked in.

"Captain!"

As the man entered, Jason Carter immediately stood up from the bench and gave him a military salute.

The man was the captain of the Sharp Blade Special Forces. Jason Carter didn't know his name, because in this unit, there were no names. Even among teammates... they didn't know each other's names, only their codenames.

Just like Jason Carter—he was Falcon, and just like his codename, he was brave and unyielding!

"You're Falcon?"

Ryan Brooks looked Jason Carter up and down with a smile, a hint of surprise in his sharp eyes.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really wouldn't have believed that a boy not yet twenty, still with a trace of youthfulness, could single-handedly kill six DG mercenaries and come out unscathed.

"Yes, I'm Falcon!" Jason Carter shouted.

"Why did you disobey orders?"

Ryan Brooks didn't ask why Jason Carter killed the drug lord, but instead asked why he disobeyed military orders.

"For dignity, for honor. China is forbidden ground for mercenaries. I don't want that legend to be broken!" Jason Carter thought for a moment and replied.

"I want the truth, not empty words!"

Ryan Brooks's brows furrowed, clearly dissatisfied with the answer, because he knew Jason Carter was being evasive.

"Sorry, Captain, that's my personal business." Jason Carter said stubbornly.

"It's because of your company commander Evan Brooks, isn't it?" Ryan Brooks smiled, walked over, and sat down on the bed.

At those words, Jason Carter's pupils contracted, and he fell silent.

"Enlisted at eighteen, in the North China Military District's recruit camp. Three months later, you were selected by the Iron Fist Battalion for ranking first in the entire camp's assessment!"

"Three months after that, in a North China Military District exercise, you successfully took out the Blue Army's commander, and then joined the district's strongest regiment, the Sharp Sword Regiment."

"As it happens, the company commander of the Sharp Sword Regiment was also your recruit camp's company commander, Evan Brooks! During a mission to capture a drug lord, Evan Brooks was killed in a firefight with mercenaries. You should have been in that task force at the time."
