Chapter 242 - Bound to Live Part 1 (1/2)

Zachary heard about the assassins that attacked Natalie last night. James called him to request electronic access. Well, since he's been working with the Dragon Empire as a partner, it's his job to give them the very best electronic security.

His smile tightened then he glanced at the calendar. It's been a week since he last saw his wife and he missed her dearly. There are a few more days to wait for her. He got plenty of time and those time, he needed to at least invent something so important. Protecting his wife and his family is the most important thing to do. So, preparing it now will be the very best.

He reached his martini glass and sipped on it. He stared at the glass that he's facing. There are types of glasses and he needed something more than even a bullet of a sniper can't break it with one shot. He tapped the glass and sighed.

”I also need an alarm. The building should cover with this special glass.”

He pulled out his phone and called his secretary. His secretary answered shortly and then he stared at the glass.

”Yes, boss?”

”Call the research team and gather information about glasses. We need to build a stronger one that even a bullet can't break it with a dozen of shots. I know that there's a glass like that. We can double it.” He paused and his secretary is scribbling on his computer. ”We will talk about the rest tomorrow. I'll just make a draft.”

”Yes, sir.”

He hung up and went to the table and started drafting designs together with the plan for the new security. He needed to research more. It won't just benefit others but also him. It will be his greatest creation.

”I am doing this for you, Andromeda.” He muttered and started sketching and listing up the materials he needed.

That night, he didn't sleep, and he focused more on creating it.

Andromeda boiled some water and then put a pill on it to clean out the bacteria then she let it cool down for a few moments. She glanced at Moira who is busy making arrows. She sighed and looked at Andel that is busy sketching whatever it is. She doesn't have any news in the Philippines and all she received every day was beeps in Morse code. He kept sending her words of love.

At this time, it beeps again, and everyone would look at her and frown. They haven't received anything like that from their country because they have no contact out there since they are in mission. They envy her in some way. Then after the beep, Andy would send back the message.

”Stop killing us with your PDA,” Andel said loudly. Moira nodded and keep on peeling the piece of the branch so it will be sharper and perfect for her archer.

They were silent for a while and a loud bang echoes as the flocks of birds flew away. They all scuffled and hid on the bark of threes as they docked down and looked around. Moira carefully and swiftly reached her bow and arrow and she looked around ready to target someone.

They heard a sound of laughing and a cry of a boar. They immediately packed up their things and they stopped when they heard footsteps coming closer. Andromeda readied her gun and then there's another gunshot from 500 meters away.

Those hunters run in that direction after they thought that it's something else. They picked their things and left nothing, and they run off in different directions. They run fast and they almost collide with a person wearing a black outfit and a mask.

Andel immediately pulled out his gun and pointed it to the person. The person hands up and Andy told Andel to put down the gun.

The unknown person pulled down the mask and they sighed.

”Freya.” Fin stood at ease and Freya put back her mask.

”You fired the gun just a while ago,” Moira said.

”I did. If I did not, you might be all running with bruises and a few shots. There's no hospital nearby and Fin doesn't have enough equipment.”

She started walking.

”Let's go. There's only one path to escape since we are already surrounded by Kuznetsov's army. It's their hunting season this day.”

”Then, I have to warn them.” Fin muttered and he made a monkey sound. The monkey left and then they started walking to the direction that Freya is leading them.

”Are you sure that you won't kill us?” Andel asked.

”If I would, I wouldn't come here. I would let you all die in this jungle.” She muttered.

”Sorry,” Andel said and then he walked fast and beside her. He pulled out something and a small pouch, he gave it to her. She took it, puzzled then looked at him. ”Compensation.” He winked.

She peeked on it and nodded. She put it in her pocket and then walk in silence.

”Thank you for coming, Freya,” Andy said.

”Yeah, not a problem.” She muttered.

”So, what did you see?” Fin asked.

”I saw that vision, all of you getting cornered by Kuznetsov's assassin, then, I saw worst than those things.” She glanced at Moira.

Moira sighed and nodded.
