?Chapter 1317:


    T and J steadied Ka by the arms, their faces mirroring the shock, as they gazed at the demolished vi not far off. Could Sean and their fellows have survived such a st?


    Sean released Norah from his embrace, sat up, and blew his whistle. The sharp sound echoed, and figures in ck robes from Sacredice began appearing around them.


    Kelvin, dressed in ck with his silver hair dusted in ash, descended from a tree. “Luckily, the boss gave us the heads-up, and we just barely avoided disaster.”


    He had nned to pursue the enemy into the mountains but decided against it when he heard the whistle. Fortunately, his quick decision-making averted what could have been a fatal dy.


    Kelvin did a quick headcount of the Sacredice members and reported, “Mr. Scott, we’re all ounted for, no casualties.”


    This was the strength of Sacredice!


    Despite the perilous circumstances, they managed to retreat without a single injury or loss.


    Ka, a bit unsteady, made her way to them and clung to Sean. “Sean, where’s your father? Did he get out okay?” She couldn’t believe Matteo hadn’t rushed to rescue her, and she refused to ept that he wouldn’t.


    Sean’s gaze sharpened. “Kelvin, where’s my father?”

    Kelvin chuckled. “Your father? Last I saw, he was heading towards the mountain behind the vi. That st we heard before the main explosion might have been his doing.”


    Matteo, the former head of Sacredice, was no stranger to danger. Kelvin had intended to back him up but had retreated at the sound of the evacuation signal.


    Norah assisted Ka to stand, noticing a cut on her heel.


    “Ka, you’ve cut your foot on a stone.”


    Ka gave a tearful smile as she processed the pain and relief. “I’m fine. Sean, please go find your father. I’m really worried about him.”


    “Norah, look after my mother for me. I’m going to help my father,” Sean said.


    Norah nodded. “Go ahead, I’ve got this.”


    The team swiftly made their way across the remains of the vi, heading toward the helipad behind it, while Norah helped Ka, watching them as they moved away. “Matteo is both courageous and smart. He’ll be fine. Try not to worry too much, Ka,” Norah reassured.


    They slowly walked towards the jeep. J paused to make a phone call.


    Norah attended to Ka’s foot injury and advised, “There aren’t any shoes for you in the car. It’s best you stay inside to avoid further injury.”
