"Do you think I’m an idiot?!" Hiding behind the hostage and refusing to budge, the drug trafficker yelled angrily at us, "Why should I swap a less formidable one for a Military Officer from the Marine Corps?!"
The drug trafficker was trembling with anger.
Did they really think he had no brains?!
Cradling a sniper rifle, clearly a Sniper, how could their skills possibly be poor?!
A pregnant woman about to give birth is so easy to handle, effortlessly held in hand, with no need to worry about her ability to resist.
If he really made the swap, he’d be at a loss!
"I can analyze this for you." Staring at him, Ella Pemberton said without changing her expression, "First, I am a Military Officer, much more valuable than a pregnant woman, so the bargaining chip you hold would be bigger. Second, I am also a pregnant woman, four months along, less able to move around, so you don’t have to worry about me running away. Third, you can completely trust that if the hostage is delayed in your hands, and any accident happens, we will kill you without hesitation."
After a slight pause, Ella Pemberton continued, "I’m not giving you a choice right now."
Implicitly, you must exchange the hostages!
Calmly spoken, those words from Ella Pemberton, a woman, were full of assertiveness, a simple "I’m not giving you a choice" managed to completely overtake the initiative and utterly intimidate the other party.
The drug trafficker’s heart quivered slightly.
He couldn’t deny it, the female soldier standing opposite had persuaded him.
To exchange, or not to exchange?!
He had no room to choose.
Having taken the pregnant woman for several hours, he had long realized that having such a person was a burden. If anything actually happened to this pregnant woman, he would lose the only bargaining chip he had...
He absolutely believed that the SWAT officers pointing their guns at him would pull the trigger without hesitation.
With great determination, the drug trafficker finally made up his mind.
"Everyone else put down your guns, and you, come over to me!"
Peeking out from behind the pregnant woman, the drug trafficker raised his voice and yelled to the opposite side.
Seeing that he agreed, Ella Pemberton quietly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced back at her deputy to signal him not to act rashly, and then began walking step by step towards the drug trafficker.
No one knew that her palms were already sweaty with cold sweat.
In her many years with the Marine Corps, the majority of the missions she had been involved in were rescues at sea of drowning victims, or retrieving bodies, or flood disaster relief.
The most honorable escort missions.
They had many missions, but participation in real combat like this was extremely rare.
Especially since she worked behind the scenes, a Sniper hidden in the shadows, opportunities to come face to face with criminals were very few and far between.
So, being a hostage, this was a first for her.
But, after all, she was a Sniper, able to keep her composure in any situation.
She managed not to let anyone notice her slight nervousness.
One step, another step.
Military boots stepped on the grass, bending the resilient blades underfoot, which sprung back up defiantly as soon as the boot lifted, still standing tall even though bent.
"Hurry up!"
As tension mounted in his heart, the drug trafficker’s throat went dry, and he couldn’t help but urge her on.
Shortly after, Ella Pemberton was standing in front of the hostage.
The hostage’s tears streamed down as she arrived, her sobbing gradually subsided, yet the tension remained unrelieved, breathing in gasps.

"Go to my right-hand side, and turn your back to me!"
