Jared discovered the ce had yet to be touched by the crossfire but was heavily guarded. He then


    noticed Lawrence''s figure standing at the entrance of the house.


    Without a second thought, he was certain Nicole was inside.


    Just as he was about to proceed, Patricia''s voice came from behind. "Mr.


    Johnston."

    Jared nced at Patricia, his eyes narrowing slightly as he said, "Draw their attention."


    Believing the chance of a sessful distraction was higher with assistance, he wanted to exploit it.


    "Understood," Patricia responded, signaling to her squad members. She then led a group to charge


    from the left, while another group attacked from the right.


    The scene quickly descended into chaos. Patricia took advantage of the turmoil tounch herself at


    Lawrence with a flying kick.


    She understood Jared''s strategy: only by pinning down Lawrence and his men could Jared have the


    opportunity to enter the house and rescue Nicole.


    Jared watched everything unfold calmly, waiting for the perfect moment.


    Momentster, his pupils contracted sharply as he dodged an ambush, then kicked the attacker to the


    ground.


    Ignoring the groaning figure, Jared sprinted past the crowd and seized the moment to reach the front of


    the house. Together with Patricia, they pressed Lawrence from both sides, forcing him into a retreat.


    Grabbing the chance, Jared kicked the door open with a loud crash.


    The noise of breaking porcin came from inside, making Jared suddenly worried.


    Inside, he saw Nicole had taken care of a guard and was safe.


    Feeling a wave of relief, Jared quickly went over to Nicole and said, "We need to leave now." "Okay,"


    Nicole replied, and they hurried out together.


    Outside, the battle was still raging, but it was clear Lawrence''s side was losing strength.


    "We''re struggling to keep up. What should we do?" Ian, looking worried, came to ask Lawrence.


    Watching Jared and Nicole escape, Lawrence clenched his jaw andmanded, "Pull back." "Got it."


    Ian then yelled, "Everyone, retreat!"


    With that order, Ian and Lawrence were the first to leave, with the rest of their team following closely.


    Patricia, lowering her weapon, turned to Nicole and asked, "Ms. Riddle, are you okay?" "I''m fine,"


    Nicole responded, a bit surprised to see Patricia there, but knew now wasn''t the time for questions.


    Looking serious, Nicole then told Jared, "There''s a bigger problem we need to deal with." "What''s going


    on?" Jared asked, sensing the urgency in Nicole''s voice.


    "Lawrence has been secretly working on weapons, like advancedbat robots simr to ''Brave,''"


    Nicole shared. This was a twist they hadn''t nned for.


    "But how did he get ''Brave''s'' data?" Patricia was shocked.


    Nicole exined, "After we saved the ''Brave'' robots and were heading home, something happened.


    Maybe that''s when he got the data." Only Lawrence would know the full story.


    "Looks like we have a tough challenge ahead," Patricia realized, going pale. Facing robots was a whole


    different challenge.
