If Jared was alone in the car, he would do the same to stall time with the enemies. However, Nicole was a different case! Nicole could not afford to take the risk, especially with the baby in her stomach."Fine!" Nicole said. Despite her training in driving and dodging bullets, three cannons were no joke. Besides that, eight minutes have passed since Zane sent the message. Zane would definitely show up in two more minutes.With that in mind, Nicole left the battlefield and accelerated away. But the three cars with cannon guns continued to pursue and attack her relentlessly, all aiming at her.BANG! BANG!One after another, the shells exploded behind her, creating a thick cloud of smoke that blocked her view of the cars. Nicole lost sight and could only blindly dodge.Then, she heard another shell coming and quickly dodged it. However, she felt the rear wheel burst in the next instant!BANG! BANG! BANG!The wheel hub was damaged, and the tire pressure rapidly dissipated, making a
Jared sneered, "What, you?"The contempt in Jared's eyes had made the leader's expression ugly. "Yes, me!"The professor stepped forward. He ignored Jared and asked, using a voice changer, "Hand over the person controlling the robots!"The robots would run farther away if they did not capture Nicole and let her modify the system.The leader remembered the real deal, and took out his handgun, pointing it at Jared's temple. "That's right. Hand them over!"Inside the car, Nicole saw the professor's figure through the brown glass. She felt he seemed extremely familiar. Seeing Jared held at gunpoint, she immediately got out of the car."You must be an expert to know that I was controlling the robots," Nicole said calmly, showing no fear in her eyes. Her sharp gaze landed on the professor, continuously scrutinizing him.Even though the professor wore a mask, he felt guilty, as if Nicole could see through him.But with just that one evasive glance from the professor, Nicole identified
Ike could only reply, "Nicole, you shouldn't have come today."If Nicole had not come, she would not need to die. Nicole understood his underlying meaning. In the end, they were not even friends.Nicole sneered. "Could you at least let me die with clear understanding? Who are you?"Nicole had to figure out Ike's identity, and the person behind him."I'm sorry, no can do," Ike replied with a cold and penetrating gaze. He was not a fool who talked too much. He would not expose a thing even if the other side were dead.Nicole smirked. 'Ike sure is airtight.' At this moment, she saw the drones discreetly getting closer. She could not help but smile sarcastically. "In that case, don't blame me later on."With that said, Nicole stepped forward, drew a gun from somewhere, and aimed it at Ike's temple.The leader was stunned. "Let him go!"The professor was an important person! The leader would be in trouble if the professor died here.Nicole chuckled coldly. "If you don't talk here,
The leader's arm had been injured from the shooting before. He endured his pain after being caught and said defiantly, "Do you know who I am?! How dare you lay a hand on me! I won't let you live another day!"Zane calmly emerged from his car, sporting a black windbreaker and an air of authority. "So who are you? I really want to know, considering you had the nerve to touch one of mine."The leader's eyes widened in recognition. "Impossible. Why are you here?"Zane smirked. "Looks like your people haven't sent you the message."The leader's expression changed. "Y-You captured my men?"Zane replied pleasantly, "What do you think?"If they had not caught the mole before leaving, their plan to support Nicole would have been exposed. Nicole had now stepped out of the car, her lips curved slightly as she heard Zane had caught the mole. She knew Zane must have been busy catching them. Thankfully, they made it in time.Zane saw Nicole unharmed and said, "You did a great job."Nicole sh
"Go ahead. Thank you for your hard work," said Zane. He noticed that Nicole did not look fine, so he just let them go.As Jared supported Nicole to turn around, he suddenly remembered something. "Zane. If you have time, let's talk at night."Nicole was pregnant, and there were some things that Jared had to be clear about with Zane.Zane looked at Jared's serious expression and sensed that he wanted to talk about things he did not want to hear. Yet he still nodded at his request. "Sure, I'll invite you out once I finish up.""Alright." Jared nodded. He then took Nicole to a car driven by Janus.After getting in the car, Nicole asked Jared, "What are you going to talk about with Zane?"Jared raised an eyebrow. "What do you think?"Nicole sighed. "Is it about retiring?"Jared had talked about this before, but Nicole planned to tell Zane after the mission was completed. However, now that she was pregnant before the mission was completed, she knew they needed to talk to Zane about i
"Alright, no one from the base should stay. Don't let the information leak out.""Yes, sir." Janus nodded and hung up the call.Meanwhile, Nicole was looking at the computer screen. The robots had been guided by Zane's people to the ship's cabin, on its way back to Lanningbourg.Nicole finally felt at ease and left Carl a message. This matter had come to an end.Feeling tired, Nicole yawned. Jared took a pillow for her and smiled. "Are you sleepy? You'll start to feel drowsy at the initial stage of pregnancy, so you need to rest more."Nicole sighed. "There's no need for you to say it. I'll sleep anyway." She rolled her eyes and went to sleep.Jared watched as she lay down and could not help but lay down next to her, gently holding her in his arms. With Nicole in his arms, he finally relaxed. "I was so afraid when you appeared at the entrance of the base. I was really scared that something might happen to you."The old Jared used to fear nothing. But after Nicole appeared in his
Zane showed his respects to Jared. "Thank you. Without your help this time I wouldn't be able to complete my task this easily, nor would I have been able to catch the double agent doing this."Jared smiled. "As long as we're able to find out who the double agent was."Zane had hoped that Interpol would have some conscience and not threaten Nicole. He noticed that Jared had wanted to say something."Mr. Johnston, I'm not quite sure why you've invited me here. Was there something important you wanted to tell me?" Zane continued.Jared noted Zane's question and knew that he had not much time left. Thus, he cut straight to the point. "Nicole and I have already registered our marriage. We're going to host a wedding reception soon, and we want to cordially invite you to attend."A smile crept across Zane's face. "So soon?" Zane was well aware of Nicole and Jared's love story, but he had not foreseen that their wedding would happen so soon. On top of that, Nicole had not made a peep abou
Zane turned around instinctively. He had not expected Nicole to be already there standing by the door.Nicole had been thinking of how to break the news to Zane when she was walking, but to her relief she heard such words from Zane as soon as she pried the doors open.Zane looked at Nicole like a father looking at his daughter. "Nicole, what are you doing here?"Jared looked at Nicole as if he had been expecting her. 'I knew she would come personally.' Jared walked up to Nicole, and supported her before turning to Zane and saying, "Then I'll take you on Nicole's behalf."Nicole looked up at Jared. 'He's just gotten Zane's approval and couldn't even hold his horses.' Nicole noticed Zane's embarrassment. She could not bring herself to speak."I'm sorry, Zane," Nicole blabbered out abruptly, finding herself apologizing.Zane immediately shook his head. "No, don't be. I'm sorry I didn't let you go sooner." Zane had long since contemplated this issue when Nicole had returned to her fa
