Jared''s brows furrowed slightly. They couldn''t wait any longer. "Let''s move, " he said, his voice full of


    determination.


    "Yes," everyone agreed, showing they were ready to do whatever it took to get Nicole back safely


    today.


    The team quickly split up and met again not far from the main entrance of the base.


    Jared watched the gate with a sharp look.


    "Mr. Johnston, we''re all set," Charlie said quietly.


    "Hmm,” was Jared''s reply.


    Charlie gave a sign to four team members, who started moving toward the base quietly.


    They knew there were hidden guards around the base, but the quietness made them suspicious.


    As they got closer to the gate, they suddenly heard something slicing through the air.


    "Move!" shouted someone.


    Without needing to see what it was, they knew it was dangerous.


    They quickly spread out, dodging to the ground, just in time to avoid several explosions.


    That was a narrow escape. If they hadn''t reacted so fast, they might have been seriously hurt. Their


    ears were ringing, but thankfully, they were all right.


    "They were indeed prepared," the team watching from a distance gritted their teeth.


    "Charlie, I''ll take some people and go over," Patricia said with a grim look in her eyes.


    "Stay here,” Charlie said after a nce at Patricia, then rushed forward with his team.


    He understood that a swift assault was necessary, otherwise, they’d deplete their forces at the gate.


    "Hey..." Doretta called out instinctively as she watched Charlie charge ahead, but there was nothing


    she could do but watch him go.

    Gritting her teeth, Doretta also led her team to provide support. It seemed there was no alternative but


    to breach the base as quickly as possible.


    Taking a deep breath, Patricia looked up at Jared and said, "Mr. Johnston, I''m going to help." She was


    here to assist, and she couldn''t just stand back and watch.


    Jared gave Patricia a nod before she joined the action. Then, he turned to Zane and said firmly, "Take


    down everyone."


    Jared then ran into the crowd by himself, a fierce figure pushing through.


    Anyone who crossed his path fell and couldn''t stand again.


    Zane knew Jared was focused on one thing: saving Nicole.


    With a determined look, Zane gave the order, "Move forward."


    Another team, arranged to attack from the side, started to push ahead to support the front line, leaving


    just a few behind to block any attempts to escape.


    The fight was fierce, but thanks to Charlie and Doretta’s careful nning, they quickly took control of


    the gate and got inside.


    Once inside, they split into three groups, each with their own targets.


    But Jared was only thinking about Nicole. His main aim was to get her out safely.


    He looked around the base, trying to guess where Nicole might be hidden, and decided to check a path


    that was strangely quiet and empty.


    This path took him through a bamboo grove and led him to a hidden house.
