Chapter 321 321. Entrusting Nicole

*MARKUS's TEAM*

"Miss Nicole has been shot." Markus heard through his bluetooth, his teeth clenching.

His team paused, knowing how much their boss cared for his dear little sister.

Markus stood still for a second, taking in all the losses they were incurring. Joel was seriously injured, Kizy was abducted and now Nicole was shot.

All three people whom he cared the most were already put in danger even before the actual battle could start.

"Victor. I am entrusting Nicole's condition to you for now. I am stuck and can not retreat at the moment. Don't break my trust. Leave the left side open. I will take care of it." Markus said through bluetooth before stepping ahead, his team resuming their battle mode.

*VICTOR's TEAM*

Victor's mind had gone completely blank, unable to digest what or how he was supposed to take care of this situation.

All the flashbacks from Anna were back and it took everything from him to not sit down and pull his hairs till his scalp went numb from pain.

"Victor." He heard Markus's voice on his bluetooth.

By the time Markus ended speaking, Victor closed his eyes, processing the words, the trust and the job that Markus had entrusted on his shoulders.

And the moment he opened his eyes, it was back - his rage, his willpower to fight this till the end, his determination to kill every single bastard who was to lay even a single finger on their team.

"Cover fire." Was the only thing he said before carelessly running towards Nicole without worrying about all the bullets that were raining his way.

The scene couldn't be any more dramatic like that of a battlefield where the hero would cross an entire track under bullet showers and yet come out uninjured.

But yes this was happening, truly, because Markus's team now knew what they were supposed to do.

They have had enough losses and if anything, they only had to win after this. That was what they had been taught since the day they joined Satan's team.

Hence without letting Victor take another bullet, they were firing back at the enemies, not giving them a chance to shoot another person.

Within seconds, Victor was kneeling beside Nicole, carrying her unconscious body princess style, his hands shaking a little though.

Because Nicole had lost a lot of blood, and secondly, her breathing was very abnormal, like that of a person breathing his last.

Without any delay, Victor ran back, away from the Professor's palace, knowing there was more to Nicole's injury than just a bullet shot.

While his team paused, waiting for further orders from Markus, which they received soon.

Markus was moving towards the left side of the palace, while Victor's team was supposed to attack the left side as well, where both the teams would then join and attack altogether.

*KIZY*

Kizy was respectfully made to sit on a comfortable sofa in the middle of their base, surrounded by guards from all four sides.

"Sorry for the earlier attacks Miss Hazel, I hope we have not harmed you in any way." One of the two men, who had abducted Kizy, came forward and asked politely.

But Kizy was in no mood to care about this chit chat. If anything, she was searching for ways to set herself free instead of paying any attention to all the drama which was being played in front of her.

"Then, I would take this as a no. Is there anything that we can do for you?" He asked again with the same level of respect.

"I feel nauseous and suffocated, can I get some fresh air and less crowd?" Kizy asked sharply, hoping at least this would shut the man up.

"For your nausea, we have Miss Sia, who has learnt a lot of medicines from the Imperial physician. As for suffocation, we have been ordered to not neglect your safety. So we can't help you out much with this condition, Miss Hazel. Sorry." The man said, his tone actually showing his regret.

Kizy once again ignored him, hoping either her team would arrive faster or at least she would have a way out to escape.

*JASON's TEAM*

Meanwhile Jason, Rose and Harry along with their teams, successfully managed to land on the jungle route.

"We need to hurry." Harry said, noticing it was already 6 minutes since he had hacked the security systems.

Jason nodded, moving ahead of the team while others followed. They had hardly moved for a minute or two when Jason paused in tracks, his expressions giving chills to the entire team.

"What happened?" Rose asked carefully, knowing something was definitely wrong.

"We are in the midst of a poisonous land." Jason said, carefully watching all the trees, plants, grass surrounding him.

"What!!" Harry exclaimed, not knowing what else to say.

Everyone knew how the professor had been devoting his entire life to poisons, which could already explain the type of deathly path they had taken.

"Everyone cover your faces, especially nostrils right now. Poison fumes would be the easiest way to put our lives in danger. Secondly make sure you don't touch anything directly with your bare skin. And lastly, let's move out of this damn place quickly." Jason ordered, putting on masks and helmets, covering themselves entirely.

'This was why that psycho left this place bare for our entry without much guards. After all, nobody will be able to distinguish the mild smell of poisons among the normal herbs. And by the time someone understands, their body would have started corroding internally from poison fumes inhaled earlier. He can seriously cross all the levels of cruelty for achieving his goals. But not for long." Jason thought in his mind, running towards the headquarters while others did the same.

*VICTOR*

"This is not good." One of the doctors said after examining Nicole's wound.
