Chapter 146 - 146. Krait

"What happened?" The lady asked.

"Hurry. She was seen heading towards the west jungle. And she disappeared. You know we don't have any CCTVs there." The man said.

"Ohh!!" The lady said and ended the call.

"Your teammate went the wrong way. She entered the jungle area. We need to hurry." The lady said and ran ahead, directing the group of frightened people towards the west jungle.

Unknown to all of them, this scene was seen by someone secretly, who ran back towards a man sitting in his room, a dragon tattoo on his naked chest.

The man was wearing a black mask, dragon like structure drawn at one of its ends, resembling the one on his chest.

But his almond shaped penetrating eyes looked as if his one single glare was enough to suck the life out of a person.

"Boss, we have an opportunity." The man who had entered the room kneeled and replied.

"What?" The man asked, his voice intimidating.

"Boss, I think we can capture Diamond this time." The man said.

"What!! Are you sure?" The man asked, now alerted from the news.

"Yes boss. Her teammate is missing and all of them are rushing towards the jungle area. A lady was keeping a watch on her all this time. Thus it was difficult to make a move. But now all of them are in chaos, and we won't get a second chance like this." The man said.

"Great. Prepare our men. Today Diamond will breathe her last breath." The man with the tattoo declared.

"Yes boss." His lackey who was kneeling on the ground got up, before bowing and leaving hurriedly.

"Time to pay back Diamond." The tattooed man said.

He was none other than the leader of one of the biggest mafia groups of country D, Drake.

Originally he was not the leader, but it was his elder brother Ryu.

But three months ago, Black Command had accepted the mission of killing this leader, Ryu.

Drake knew that his brother was no simple human. He was trained in various martial arts, knowing how to perfectly attack and defend.

Thus the mission was difficult. Jason, Victor and Rose, all three of them were attacking his brother at the same time while Harry had hacked through their defense system, and was blocking other men from his brother's team enter.

His brother would have easily survived if he escaped. But just as he had managed perfect timing and ran out of his room to escape, Kizy who was sitting hidden on some tree, with a sniper gun shot him on his head, killing him on the spot.

With this, Drake was made the leader of the mafia, and for the past three months, he had been searching for a way to kill Diamond.

They had managed to locate this group on the very first day, but without weapons and having Rose by her side all the time, it was difficult to kill Diamond.

Thus the moment he heard that they had a chance, Drake ordered his men to kill.

On the other hand, Jason and his team were following the lady, running towards the jungle, unknown to the calamity they were walking into.

A lot of people saw this group running, many of them investigating them. Jason and his group crossed a lot of people before finally entering the jungle area.

They were still running when Harry's phone beeped.

"She is nearby, over there." Harry said, pointing at a direction while looking at his phone, which showed a red dot in the direction they were running, a little to their north.

Finally after running for five more minutes, they found Rose, sitting on the ground, her forehead covered in cold sweat.

Jason instantly knelt beside her.

"What are you doing?" He asked, looking at Rose, who was tearing a piece of her beautiful dress.

Rose looked shocked at the sudden voice, never thinking that her team would find her this soon.

"I came searching for you all but I lost my way. I even tried contacting you but the range isn't workin-" Rose immediately started explaining.

"You don't have to explain this. What are you doing right now?" Jason asked, his voice gentler.

"I got a snakebite." Rose replied, her voice a little shaky at the end.

"Which snake?" Jason asked, because one of the basic things he had taught his group was poisons.

"Krait." Rose replied.

"And how long has it been? What were you doing till now?" Jason asked patiently.

"It's been roughly a minute now. Thus I am not moving much to prevent the poison from spreading." Rose said and paused.

"About this, I was trying to tear this and tie it like a tourniquet around to slow down the spreading." Rose said, looking at her dress which was ruined by soil, grass and other dirt.

"Wait. Stay still." Jason said, taking out his handkerchief from the pocket.

He paused for a moment before lifting Rose's dress a little, stopping exactly on her upper thighs, tightly tying the handkerchief around her thigh, all the time looking away to not make Rose feel awkward.

Similarly Harry and Victor followed, looking the other side. Thus unfortunately they missed the small smile Rose gave to Jason.

Once Jason was done tying, he covered her legs back with her legs before finally looking her way. 

"You should lie down." Jason said and helped Rose lie down properly. 

He needed to calm her down, relax her before starting with any treatment part.

He washed the wound carefully with water from the bottle carried by Victor, loosening his handkerchief after almost five minutes had passed before tightening it again.

He felt that though Rose was trying to put up a brave front, she must be scared after being lost in the jungle and then being bitten by a snake.

Plus he felt irresponsible for not calling them back on time, which resulted in this situation.

Therefore he was rubbing her back when suddenly the lady shouted.

"Where is she!!?" She literally shouted, finally making the members realize that Kizy wasn't with them anymore.
