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

”Now go!”

Mikhail nodded and without hesitating, turned and took to his heels. He didn't look back, not even when he heard the gunshots and the moan of pain that undoubtedly belonged to his guard. It was a sacrifice he chose to pay and he can't die here else it would all be a waste.

The tunnel was badly illuminated, the bulbs were flickering on and off while most of them were damaged from lack of care, however, it was enough to illuminate their path. He caught up to the betrayer who seemed to know his way around and they both galloped on knowing that their enemies were not too far away from them.

Thankfully the entrance did not collapse as they feared, however, it was narrow and enough for just one person to pass at a time, carefully. The Falcon gang must have intentionally closed it off after they stopped the transportation - no wonder rumors of the tunnel collapsing surfaced.

Even with that, the both of them had to battle through a cotton of cobwebs that limited their sight. They came out looking uncool, draped with dust and gray cobwebs.

”Disgusting!” Mikhail muttered as he worked on getting rid of the dirt on him.

”We don't have time for this, we should go,” The betrayer started down the vast hilly forest area saying, ”Our ride should be here already,”

They both hurried off knowing that their liberty was around the corner. All that was needed was just a few more steps and the sweet air of freedom would be all they would breathe in.

”She's here,” The betrayer pointed out and Mikhail could now see the car located on the rocky clear road since the headlights were on.

As they were just about to step out of the forest, call it instinct or something but the hairs on his back stood on edge and he knew that danger was around the corner. Being the selfish man he was, Mikhail quickly grabbed the betrayer by the collar and pulled him behind him only for two bullets to pierce through the man who groaned and fell.

Mikhail's eyes widened, that could have been him. He turned back at once and his eyes connected with that woman.

Nemesis.

She was here.

Whoever was in the car sensed the danger and at once roared the engine to life.

”Damn it,” Mikhail cursed, he couldn't hide here forever. Sakuzi's men were regrouping and would block every necessary escape route from here very soon and whoever was in the car must have known it because she was reversing.

No, he can't stay here.

Mikhail came out of the tree he had used to defend himself after using the betrayer as a shield. He and Nemesis must have been in sync because she shot at him the same time she shot at him.

They both fell.
