n“No, that would be way too risky. If the lifeboat is unable to balance us, we all would fall in the ocean along with Nicole and Joel, which would be dangerous. You guys go ahead. I know how to come out of this.” Victor replied, hurrying them all as they didn’t have much time.

n“No Master Victor, we-” The captain was still trying to convince Victor when Victor cut him off.

n“These are my orders. You people are descending within ten seconds.” Victor replied in a strict voice.

n“But-” The captain still wanted to protest but this time Victor was even more stern.

n“Orders!” Victor replied, his tone cold.

n“Yes master!” The captain replied, steeling his heart as they immediately started descending.

nNobody spoke even a single word, but all of them only had one thing in their heart – huge respect and concern for their Master Victor.

nTwenty seconds, and the lifeboat was already in the waters, all the members directing it away from the ship and towards the shore, while never removing their eyes from the ship, waiting to see how Victor had planned to escape this.

n*JASON’s TEAM*

nThe moment Jason and rest reached near the palace wall, Jason suddenly signalled all of them to bend down and hide between the poison garden’s trees and plants.

nA team of men wearing all black were seen standing near the headquarters entry, implying that this was their first defence line.

nJason turned to look back at his team members, only to see that they were patiently waiting for his next command.

nHe took out a smoke bomb out of his pocket, while taking out glasses from the other pocket.

nHe showed both of them to his team members, who in return understood the meaning and took out their glasses as well.

nOnce all of them were done wearing glasses, Jason nodded one last time, signalling that this was how their battle was about to begin and all of them couldn’t be anymore ready for the same.

nWith one quick move the smoke bomb was blasted, creating smoke everywhere which caused zero visibility.

nThe men from the professor’s side were on total alert mode, while simultaneously struggling to watch everywhere. They were moving slowly towards the headquarters, hoping that at least they would be able to see their enemies from there on.

nBut Jason and his team definitely were not in the mood to give them some time or space as they immediately launched themselves upon their enemies.

nBefore one of the men from the enemy side could understand what was happening, he was striked on his neck by Jason and the next moment he was already lying in a pool of blood.

nSimilarly Rose directly stabbed one of the men in the chest, while quickly removing the blade and piercing it directly in the eye of the man who tried to kill her from behind.

nHarry took a spot a little far away from this group and climbed on a tree, shooting men from there.

nThis way Jason’s group, single handedly started finishing off all those men even before they could understand what was happening.

n*MARKUS’s TEAM*

nMarkus’s team was taking a breather after finishing off another wave of men from the professor’s side.

nJust as they were about to take shelter and clean their fresh wounds, they could sense some movement from behind.

nMarkus instantly gestured all his men to pause their action and stay alert as there was danger all around.

nJust as he could sense some footsteps approaching them, he took out his gun, ready to go for another round of killing.

nThere was complete silence for almost a minute before finally some action was visible at his back on the left side.

nMarkus loaded his gun, while all his team members followed the same action, preparing themselves for whatever was to come next.

nJust before anyone could shoot, Andrew with his hands up in surrender, followed by his team, who were barely five metres away, entered the scenario.

nThis gave Markus and his team a much needed relaxation as they had been fighting continuously since their entry.

n“How bad is it going?” Andrew asked while looking at Markus, then his men who instantly resumed cleaning their injuries.

n“Truly bad but still manageable.” Markus replied, knowing that the Professor had a lot of tricks up his sleeves, maybe dirty tricks to be more appropriate.

n“We already faced an entire horde of poisonous men!” Andrew spoke up, still remembering how madly those men with poisonous blades attacked them.

n“We had three such hordes.” Markus replied briefly, knowing this much information was enough to Andrew realise what all he and his team had faced.

n“We will give you all full support!” Andrew said, trying to lighten the environment.

n“Seven ships have attacked our ships from behind.” Markus suddenly dropped the news like a bomb.

nAnd as Markus had expected, Andrew went all silent, his eyes turning cold within microseconds!

nMarkus let him have his time, knowing it was important to share this with him.

n“Is it truly him? He is seriously going to meddle between this?” Andrew asked in an ice cold voice.

n“He is already there at the borders. What else do you need to prove that he is interfering?” Markus asked, knowing he was being a little harsh in exposing things, but he couldn’t help.

nHe needed Andrew in his full on slaughter mode if they needed to continue with this battle.

nAs if the professor was any less, he had asked for help from someone Andrew and he hated a lot.

nThus they now needed to be in their battle modes for their final strikes.

nAndrew took in all this information before taking his own time, planning whatever he was going to do.

n“What about her? Any news on her?” Andrew asked, knowing they had little time on their hands after understanding the professor’s plot.

n“No. Not yet. God is truly testing my patience today! The psycho is full of traps and I am foolishly walking those as per his will. This just can not get any more **tier.” Markus said, not happy with the way this entire thing was going.

n“How did you come to know about him?” Andrew asked, subtly trying to change the topic as well as Markus’s mood.

n“Through Victor. He took Nicole on the ship for treatment. And they were being attacked by seven ships simultaneously. Thus the news.” Markus explained.

n“What about them?” Andrew asked in a worried tone, knowing how cruel the enemy was and how bad this could all get.

n“I have already asked all the members to help them escape the ship. But after that there is no news from their side. So currently we have no idea about what exactly is happening over there.” Markus replied, his tone stiff, knowing he had put everyone’s life at risk.

n“Don’t worry. He is a member of THE BLACK COMMAND. He would somehow make it all happen.” Andrew replied, trying to convince Markus as well as himself.

n“Are you sure?” Markus asked while looking Andrew in the eyes, searching for confirmation that his mind was not giving him.

n“Hmmmm.” Andrew replied, though he himself was not confirmed about what all he had said.

n*VICTOR’s TEAM*

nAll the members were looking at the ship with their hearts in their throats as there was still no action from Victor who was onboard.

n“Where is Master Victor? He should have escaped by now.” One of the doctors asked, feeling guilty for suddenly taking up the seat and space that was meant for Victor.

n“Even I am waiting for that. It’s high time now. Those men can fire anytime-” The man was still speaking when a loud noise interrupted his statement.

n“BOOOMMMM!!” A loud crash was heard and the entire ship was sent flying into pieces, with no single part intact.

n“Stabilise the ship first!” The captain ordered, knowing they had two unconscious patients with them onboard.

nIt took them almost a minute to finally stabilise the ship, and tak e breath of relaxation.

n“Nooooo! Master Victor!!” Someone suddenly cried out and once again all of them could feel their heartbeat stopping right then and there.

n“Did anyone see him escaping?” The captain asked.

nBut one look at all the members and anyone could see that they had no answers.

nThey all turned to look at the ship which was no longer in a recognisable condition, with smoke still coming out and countless parts of the ships floating here and there on the ocean.

nFront part of the ship was still half sinking, just the way their hopes were. No word was spoken but suddenly all of their eyes were moist, knowing they had committed a grave mistake, which maybe was uncompensable.
