Chapter 1457
“Okay, I''ll call you when I have the time." Martin hung up.
In the room, Nicole looked at the set of doors, suddenly wishing that Jared would regain
consciousness, so that she would have more time.
Outside, the Braves and the troops were still trying their best to fend off the offensive mounted by the
Raven. Nicole was not in the mood to stay in the room for the entire day, so she got up and walked out
of the room, before heading to the central control room.
"Why is it that there a bunch of people engaging those around them. What''s the situation?" Carl
murmured in puzzlement while looking at the monitor.
"What''s wrong?" Nicole walked over and asked.
"Take a look outside,” Carl said, imploring Nicole to look at the monitor.
Nicole proceeded to keep her eyes on the monitor, which then showed her the very scene that Carl had
witnessed earlier. Nicole recognized those who were locked in battle with the Raven immediately.
"I didn’t expect them toe here,’ Nicole whispered.
"Nicole, who are those people you''re talking about?” Carl asked upon hearing what she had said.
"Oh, nothing. I’m talking about the people from the Raven. Have you met them outside before?” Nicole
asked, concealing the truth from him.
Carl looked at Nicole in disbelief, after which he continued to pay attention to the battle outside. It was
clear that the situation outside had gotten messy. The men who were not part of the Raven had
gradually be caught in the siege mounted by the Raven, and in the midst of the battle, they were
caught in the crossfire.
A wicked smile appeared on Nicole''s mouth as she watched them being killed one by one. ''Those
people who had followed me before should be gone by now. Man, I wasn''t expecting the Raven to do
me such a huge favor.”
Indeed, the Raven had regarded the group out there as the members of the base, mistaking them as
the base''s reconnaissance team, and had thus immediately surrounded and attacked them.
It was at this moment that a voice red out of Carl''s walkie-talkie. "C, we have reached the other side
of the river. We need someone to get us."

"Okay, I''ll send someone to meet you on the other side of the river right away," Carl ordered.
"Nicole, since you''re here. I''ll go out to meet them." Carl said as he looked at her, after which he turned
around and left.
About half an hourter, Carl returned to the base with the members of the elite team. Nicole went out
to greet them, assuming that they had sessfullypleted the task.
She took a look at them, and that was when her eyes widened in shock.
"Why are you all injured?" She walked over and asked.
"Initially, we had lured the guards outside themand post. Yolli then went in to deal with the ones
inside. A group of people suddenly came out of nowhere and attacked me. We were fortunate that we
were able to fight our way out, or else, we would''ve been beaten to a pulp," Jason reported to Nicole.
Nicole looked at Carl as she listened to what Jason had to say, after which she ordered, "Bring them in
and get their injuries treated first.”
After they had left, Nicole continued, "It seems that when I went there to scout them, they had noticed
me and taken some precautions."
"This time we have gotten ourselves some casualties. If we want to get rid of Cara, we have to think in
terms of the long run.”
Nicole and Carl conversed as they walked along, side by side.
"I didn’t expect Cara to be so cunning. It seems that we had underestimated him,” Carl said as his eyes
narrowed.
“Perhaps we did... I''m beginning to think that Cara is an interesting figure, after all. I must meet him in
person when I get a chance,’ Nicole said in a low voice.
Outside the base, the Raven began to gradually retreat as they had received orders from their higher
ups. Then, the base of production slowly reverted to its previous state of calm, with the sun setting in
the background...
