nBut if they were to face a life-threatening situation even before reaching near her, what was the point of taking all this risk then? Their main purpose was to save Diamond. Hence she was trying to reason out a little.

n“From the map that Markus discussed with us, there is quite some space between both the gates. We just need to head straight towards the headquarters without giving them much time to reach us.

nPlus I guess the majority of those guarding the gates would have retreated back to headquarters for the final battle. So I don’t think there is any harm in us heading this way.” Jason replied calmly, considering all possible situations they might have to face.

nRose and Harry exchanged one more look, knowing Jason would never ignore their safety even if it was for Diamond.

nHarry nodded at Rose, gesturing he was going to follow Jason and Rose did the same in response.

n“We are almost near the area of our entrance.” Rose informed the others.

n“I have disconnected their defence system. It is safe to enter now. We have 10 minutes in our hands to cross the defence line.” Harry informed them, knowing that it would hardly take 5 minutes on the professor’s side to know what he had done, and five more minutes to get back their original defence system.

n“We are descending in two minutes.” Jason informed the group of men accompanying them, his tone battle ready.

nWith that, all of them covered themselves up in those battle suits, picking up their weapons and waiting for their descent.

n*PROFESSOR’s HEADQUARTER*

n“Has Hazel arrived?” Professor asked coolly, knowing they had succeeded in capturing her safely.

n“Yes. They have reached our base.” Captain replied politely with his head lowered.

nProfessor, without waiting for another minute, got up from his seat, ready to leave the battlefield as it was.

n“Satan is nearing us. You can not leave the fight midway, even if it is for her.” Suddenly the Imperial physician interrupted.

nFirst of all he didn’t want to risk their soldier’s lives, which was bound to happen if the Professor was to leave.

nSecondly he was worried about Kizy. He knew that she was pregnant and was an easy target. Plus in her current state, it was easier to get her all riled up. Hence the Imperial physician knew that the professor’s visit to Kizy would do no good and instead worsen the situation.

n“Are you truly worried about Satan and my fight? Or…” The Professor stopped midway, his incomplete statement and intentions all very much clear to the Imperial physician.

n“Both.” The Imperial Physician replied, not hiding his true reasons.

nYes he was his best friend, but maybe the targets and missions he had started formulating had slowly started blurring out their friendship.

n*MARKUS’s TEAM*

nBoth Kizy’s previous team and Markus’s team had joined hands and were attacking simultaneously on Professor’s fort.

n“I can spot traps ahead. Leo’s team would follow me. Team Alpha, attack from right with Andrew. Team beta, take the left side with Victor. Team Charlie and Delta would provide coverfire to all of us along with Nicole.” Markus formulated the plan within seconds.

nHe had purposefully chosen to stay with Leo’s team as they had taken first hand blows from the professor’s side and needed a leader. But at the same time, he knew the kind of rage his men had for letting their lady boss get captured. So letting team Leo follow him was the best choice he could make.

n“Now.” He said and all of them split up, heading in their directed directions, ready to take lives and win this final battle at all costs.

nOnce they had covered some distance and were near the professor’s headquarters, Markus gestured them to stop and take cover behind the trees.

n“BOOM!” A loud sound was heard before the wall facing them started showing some cracks as Markus had bombed it.

n“BOOM BOOM!!” A series of bombing was heard before the wall started falling down, giving them enough smoke and dust, and more importantly enough openings to enter inside.

n“Stay alert and enter.” Markus spoke one last time before heading inside.

nBehind them, constant shooting could be heard as Nicole with team Charlie and Delta started taking down all those snipers and guards on the edges.

n*ANDREW’s TEAM*

nInstead of entering in a grand way, Andrew chose to remain silent and enter quietly in the lion’s den.

nIt hardly took them a few smoke bombs to enter inside and even less to take those men down one by one.

nYou could easily call Andrew a silent slaughtering machine who was entering the insides of the palace at an alarming rate.

n*VICTOR’s TEAM*

nOn the other hand, Victor was facing some problems as the enemy side had started shooting very early.

nIt was getting difficult to move ahead while defending themselves at the same time.

nNicole and others were doing a decent job at taking down the snipers, but maybe from the lessons from front and right side, the professor had suddenly increased his defences on the left side.

nVictor was still calm about the situation knowing he would somehow enter the palace, no matter how much time and patience it was costing on his side.

nBut maybe God had some altered plans to test his patience.

nAnd hence, against Markus’s orders, Nicole, instead of staying at her defence position, moved ahead, wanting to help Victor out.

n“BANG!!!”

nBut even before she could reach near her love, she was shot, exactly in abdomen and everything went black for her.

n“Nooo!!” Was the least scream she heard from Victor before she fell harder on the ground, unconscious.
