Chapter 288 - 117: Lewis's Death (6)

Ethan stop chasing Morgana and Lewis, he felt an unexplainable pain in his chest when the bullet from his gun hit Morgana's back, at the same time, his heart beats rapidly and Morgana's pained image cross his mind. Ethan stood still, mesmerized by the unexpected images that flooded his mind as if the images that he is seeing is actually happening.

Morgana... Ethan whispered bringing his hand in his chest, feeling the rapid beating of his heart.

Meanwhile, in the elevator, Morgana leaned in the elevator wall. She can feel her back bleeding and aching from the bullet that penetrated her back. At the same time, she is feeling fl.u.s.tered at the thought of seeing Ethan again. She thought that Ethan is still in Myanmar, she didn't know that Ethan is in Brooklyn and that they would meet again during this critical situation. She was hurt, but she couldn't blame Ethan for shooting her, it wasn't Ethan's fault that he did not recognize her because she is wearing a disguise.

Thinking this, Morgana closes her eyes as she leaned heavily on the elevator wall, then... From out of the blue, she heard the system's motivation in her ears. The system has been quiet for a while during her fight with the Eagle Squad forces, it seems like the system is observing her every move and waiting for her to strike back against Ethan. Morgana is aware that she violated the rules when she didn't kill Ethan, and she is aware that if she acted against the Eagle Squad, it will be another violation on her part against the law.

Ding... Host, the system detected a bullet penetrated your back and the bullet is situated near your lungs, the system's instant recovery function is now activated to stop the wound from continues bleeding. Host, do you want the system to do the bullet extraction now? After extracting the bullet, the system will start with the cleaning operation to prevent any traces of the host's blood become DNA evidence or proof that you are in this place during the rescue operations of the Eagle Squad forces. The system's notification informed Morgana about the gravity of the situation if traces of her blood was recovered inside the elevator, it also asked Morgana if she wants the bullet removed out of her body.

Yes, please.....Do it now, remove the bullet and start the cleaning operations once the extraction is over and we are safely out of this place. Help me find a route out of the building that was safer. I can't go on fighting the Eagle Squad force and make things complicated if it's just those men from the dark forces then it is not a problem killing them all, but the Eagle Squad are working for the government and we have the same objectives, and that is... to eliminate the dark organizations. Morgana said as she leaned on the wall of the elevator. The pain in her back caused by the bullet is gone.

Ding... Host, the system is now extracting the bullet, please wait for a few seconds. The system's notification sounded again in Morgana's ear. After a few seconds, a bullet shell drops on the elevator floor and rolled near Lewis's feet.

Lewis: this..... Lewis said as he picked up the bullet shell and look at Morgana, stunned.

You are hit??? Lewis asks passing the empty bullet shell to Morgana.

No, it actually hit my backpack. Morgana lied, heaving a sigh of relief when she heard the system's notification showing her a route that they could take once they are out of the elevator. Furthermore, the system informed her that cleaning up operation is done and she received a gift from the system as well as earned experience points from the recent encounter with the members of the dark forces and the Eagle Squad.

What??? I received a gift from the system??? Morgana asks confused, isn't she supposed to receive a punishment for violating the system's rules by not killing her target???? Why did she receive a gift instead??? 

Ding... Host, you receive a gift for being courageous and making a decision on top of a sticky situation. You can check your gift now from the system's reward interface if you want, but I must remind you that you are still inside the target's Office Building and the opponents are still chasing you and the target. The system answered Morgana seeing the confusion in her eyes before it reminded her of the current situation.

No... I will check it out later. Right now, we need to get out of this building safely. Morgana said as she walked out of the elevator with Lewis following her.

Morgana followed the system's instruction as they walked into the bas.e.m.e.nt heading straight to the nearest buildings parking lot. Before they reached the other building's parking lot, Morgana summoned the night hawk and it was already parked waiting for them in the parking lot of the building next to the target's building. Morgana gets inside the car and Lewis gets in beside her still wondering how Morgana happens to know that there is a secret passage in that building from his own building.

As they drive away from the place, Jarren and his team are already on their way to the top floor. The members of the dark forces that they encountered in the six-floor are all dead, while Ethan and his team are still on the second floor at the stairwell. Ethan's men are all injured but they still managed to lay an ambush for the other members of the dark forces. Alexander's group.

Alexander and his group get out of the elevator on the six-floor with the thought of aiding their comrades who are fighting with the Eagle Squad force, but when they reach the said floor, they found that all their comrades are dead and the members of the Eagle squad are on their way to the top floor. They decided to continue going down the stairs to escape, unfortunately, they encounter the other team of the Eagle squad, the team headed by Ethan. The moment Ethan and his men saw Alexander's groups they began to shoot them, thinking that they are a part of the group that Morgana and Lewis belong to.
