Even so, Janet still insisted, “I’ll take responsibility if anything happens!”
After she said these words coldly, she turned around and started delegating tasks to the other team members.
I have no patience to play cat-and-mouse with Blood Eagle anymore! I simply want to solve this matter as soon as possible.
In the dark night, a group of people moved swiftly through the woods.
“Jan, there are traces here.” Finally, one of the team members seemed to have discovered something and stopped.
Janet trotted quickly to the site and squatted down upon hearing that. Then, with the help of the moonlight, she checked the traces as said by the team member. Suddenly, her facial expression changed drastically.
“Retreat!” As soon as her voice fell, the squad heard several rounds of gunshots firing across the air.
She abruptly pulled the team member and retreated. Then, she abruptly fell to the ground as she dodged the bullets.
In the meantime, the other team members were also in a similar situation. However, the attack was not over yet.
Once again, a few more gunshots sounded, and everyone was busy fighting for their own lives.
At this moment, a pained voice sounded. “Jan, I got shot in the leg. It must have been a sneak attack by Blood Eagle!”
As she looked around the perimeter, she realized she couldn’t see anything under cover of darkness. Still, she was unwilling to retreat empty-handed.
“Everyone, listen up. Spread out, and keep a distance of one meter between each other. Search the nearby area carefully. Blood Eagle must be hiding nearby.”
I don’t believe Blood Eagle can create a wide range of traps in a mere few hours.
Janet was right on the money.
The area where Blood Eagle set his traps was not very large. He intended to disperse the team so that he could defeat them one by one, and he succeeded.
As Janet listened to one by one of her team members’ reports of injuries, her expression lun extremely bad. Yet, at the same time, she became more careful and vigilant.
Finally, she noticed something strange when she passed a tree.
The next second, she abruptly raised her leg for a fierce roundhouse kick.
The other party probably didn’t expect Janet to have such sharp observational skills and reflexively retreated to dodge her attack.
Meanwhile, Janet saw the other party’s face clearly, and her facial expression became extremely relentless. “Blood Eagle! You’re finally willing to show up!
After she finished speaking, she launched a ffurry of attacks with her fists.
The next day, Nicholas received an emergency call from his former superior shortly after arriving at the company.
“Nicholas, Janet is severely injured, and her life is in critical condition. She has been sent to the General Hospital in your city and is being rescued there. Unfortunately, I can’t make it right now, so I would like to ask you to check her situation for me.”
“Now?”
“Yes. There’s no one over there, so I’m worried.”
Upon hearing that, Nicholas frowned.
By rights, Nicholas should not interfere with affairs in the past, considering he had retired now. However, considering his superior’s care for him in the past, he eventually agreed.
“I understand. I’ll head over right now.”
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and strode out of the office.
