Chapter 739 - Seven Hundred And Thirty-nine: She Was Here (1/2)

The third point of view:

He must have been crazy to think that he could go up against the Falcon Gang, Mikhail thought. The whole place was swimming with their members, well, it was their base anyway.

The member of the Falcon that had turned on his members was the one who led the way while Mikhail was in the center with his remaining bodyguard behind him and watching his back. It was an intense shootout however Mikhail was skillful in the first place else he wouldn't have killed his former boss and taken over the Blood Cobra.

”This is not the way to the entrance,” Mikhail noticed after a while of running and shading from bullets, ”You said my men would make a way,”

”I said your men would be a sacrificial lamb,” The betrayer pointed out, ”You don't really think that Sakuzi would let you pass through his front door alive?” he sneered at him.

”Then, my men....” It dawned on Mikhail.

”They are a distraction,” his guard was the one who figured it out, ”They are the only reason this place is not overflowing with his men,” He already saw through the plan when he was asked to give the order - a death sentence - to the others.

”We've avoided enough cameras so far hence it would be a while before they catch up to us,” the betrayer pointed out as he stopped at a door.

”And then what...?”

”And then we pray this tunnel entrance hasn't collapsed. This was one of the oldest secret ways we used in our underground transportation of firearms, however, it was closed down when the others were constructed in later years,” He explained while hurriedly trying the lock that had rusted from neglect.

At once, Mikhail gasped in disbelief,

”So in a word, you brought me here when you weren't even sure of your escape route, ”

The arrogance! The betrayer felt like pumping his bullets into his body, however, he couldn't do that since that woman needed him.

”No,” he spoke through gritted teeth, ”In one word, the only reason I haven't blasted your head off is because of that woman. So don't think for one moment that you have any privilege here because honestly, your offer was bullshit,”

The threat in his tone was obvious and Mikhail knew better than to push his luck.

When the betrayer couldn't struggle with the lock anymore, he pulled his gun and fired twice at the lock and it finally opened. However, the gunshots gave out their location, and almost immediately, they could hear the sound of approaching footsteps.

”Let's go,” He was the first to go in, followed by Mikhail. However, Mikhail took only two steps when he noticed his guard wasn't following and he turned back to see his determined look.

”What are you doing?” He asked, even though he sensed what the man had in mind.

”I can't let them get to you. Someone has to stay behind and make sure you arrive safely,” He said with an understanding smile.

Mikhail was stunned, then his features hardened, ”I promise that you won't die in vain,” he was sincere this time.

Just as Sakuzi feared, once he was out of this place, he would regroup and come back at them stronger and better. It was a promise. Mikhail learned enough lessons today and would make sure not to make any mistakes.
