Jared saw his work of art on her neck and that was when he became satisfied, so he let her go.Nicole was furious. "Jerk!"She did not fight back because she did not want to put any strain on her abdomen, but Jared still left her with two hickeys nonetheless."If you come up with crazy ideas like this again, I won't go easy on you." Jared then quickly got down from the bed.Above anything, he was worried that he would act on his impulses again.Nicole noticed something as she watched Jared strutting off to take a shower. 'How is this man so energetic?'She sighed and went off to freshen up as well.Then, the both of them shared breakfast together in front of a floor-to-ceiling window.While they were thinking about when they would receive updates from Lawrence, Jared's phone rang."Mr. Johnston, I've sent you what you've asked for. Check your phone."Delighted to hear that, Jared said, "Okay, thanks."Lawrence nodded. "My pleasure. But you don't have much time. They seem to
"Okay. Lawrence's men will come over to join us too. We'll leave after that.""Sure." Janus nodded and left.Nicole looked at Jared. "I didn't know you had troops. Who exactly is Janus?"Nicole had never asked him about this before, but since she did, Jared decided not to hide it from her. "He's my mercenary."Nicole frowned as she did not expect Jared to have a mercenary in his payroll.Jared noticed her confusion, so he calmly explained, "It's difficult to work abroad. Before I had Janus, goods belonging to the Johnston Group and JJ Johnston were always getting stolen in shady areas. We had no other choice but to hire my distant cousin to be our mercenary..."Hearing that, Nicole finally understood perfectly what was going on.The JJ Johnston Group was involved in many industries, so it was not surprising that their goods had been illegally targeted by certain entities. To ensure the safety of the goods and staff in international waters, some countries would form their band of
"Mr. Johnston, this is the location. The canyon is the entrance," the guide explained to Jared in Esperian.Jared followed his gaze and set his own at the canyon. 'It really looks like something is there. What a hidden location."This was why his people could not find what they were looking for. This area was out of the range of any coverage. Without the guide, it was impossible for them to find it."Okay, got it." Jared ended the conversation and turned to Janus. "Get ready to enter. If we find out the exact whereabouts of the Braves, there will be fewer casualties.""Copied." Janus nodded and brought his men along to inspect the area, looking for ways to enter.Nicole saw Janus's men leaving and got down from the car when it looked safe.Jared frowned when he saw her. "Why are you out here?"In response, she said, "It looks safe here. Don't worry."Jared sighed the moment he heard her reply, but he remained silent otherwise.Then, Janus and two of his teams slowly entered th
Though they might alert the enemies, that was the most suspicious area in the entire base."Okay." Janus then ordered his men to enter that area.Soon, the sound of hand-to-hand combat could be heard, but Janus's men still prevailed, successfully entering the passageway thereafter.Meanwhile, Jared was standing outside, waiting for updates.After twenty minutes, Janus reported, "Mr. Johnston, it's in here."Jared's eyes lit up. "Look at the chips and see if they've been removed before.""On it." Janus proceeded to do so and responded after a while. "Not for now. But five of them are missing, and their whereabouts are unclear."With that said, Jared figured that the mastermind had obtained the new system and was perhaps experimenting on it."According to Nicole, if you activate the droids, they will return to their manufacturer."These robots were not produced yet, so the system that had been implanted in them served as a failsafe that would make them return to their manufactur
Those words left everybody perplexed. These robots were returning to their place of origin!"Don't move, or we'll shoot!" The henchmen stood in front of the robots to stop them from leaving as they knew how important they were to their boss.However, one of the Braves stepped forward and broke the henchman's gun into two pieces. "Firearm detected. Initiate emergency response system if safety is compromised to neutralize the threat."As soon as the Brave had uttered those words, its eyes instantly emitted a ray of red light as if it had activated combat mode!It was then that Ara and Bara arrived on the scene, and were shocked by what they had seen.They could not believe that the Brave had activated combat mode!"What should we do?" Bara looked at Ara in shock.Ara gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know how important these robots are to the chief? We can't let them leave!"After saying that, Ara turned to his men and ordered, "The switch is behind their necks! Turn them off!"
The henchmen began shouting. Some of them who had climbed on top of the Braves were left severely injured by the spinning blades! Some of their arms had been cut off, and some of their legs had been slashed in half! The sound of them wailing echoed across the whole base!Ara and Bara were shocked when they saw the weapons on the Braves. They ceased worrying about the robots at once as they were desperate to save their men!"Open fire! Open fire!"At that moment, as the enemies were focusing on attacking the robots, Jared gave an order. "Janus, bring your men in and reboot the robots that had been switched off. Take cover behind the robots and get out of here with them!""Got it!" Janus immediately hid between the robots as soon as he had received the order.The Braves received Nicole's signal and shifted their priorities to protecting the invaders. With that directive in their system, they bolted for the main entrance of the base.The chief in the command post had also heard the
Shattered glass flew everywhere at that instant, with the chief's subordinates immediately shielding him from the glass.However, the chief was very excited. "Haha. Good! This is fantastic! I'm curious to see how intelligent they can be!"Meanwhile, there was a chaotic battle going on outside the command center!Jared was waiting for Janus at the entrance. He thought Janus and the robots would arrive at the entrance and his mission would be over soon.However, it was then that he noticed five robots plummeting down from the sky before rushing toward Janus and his men!"Take cover!" Janus ordered upon noticing it.His men immediately hid under the robots.However, as soon as the five robots landed, they began behaving as though they knew where Janus's men were hiding. The robots dragged them out and threw them violently on the ground!"Ah!""Puh!"Janus watched as his screaming men were hurled onto walls and cars. Blood came spurting out of their mouths and they were all soon
They were being attacked in all directions!"Damn it."It was obvious that the five robots had been reprogrammed, and the new program that she had installed did not receive any signals at all. Clearly, the person who had done this had blocked remote access to the robots. This meant that the five robots had to be terminated.Nicole switched her electronic watch on again and activated its optical keyboard. Then, she began typing in the air.The few big men standing beside her were shocked. Even though they had no idea what she was doing, they could tell that it was something very important. Nicole made some modifications, and in no time, she installed a new language into the units that she could still gain control of!Jared was about to be surrounded by the terrorists from the outside when, all of a sudden, the Braves around them paused for three seconds before they uttered, as if they were sentient, "There are five rogue robots! Destroy them!"Every unit under her control then beg
