Sophie recomposed herself and heightened her concentration when she heard the intense fighting sounds coming from outside. I just need a while longer. Arius should be able to hold on until then, right?
Arius, who hadn't had enough rest recently, was in trouble because a few more terrorists had arrived.
“F*ck!” Arius cursed. Why do I need to deal with this bullsh*t in Anglandur? Still, I must guard the entrance of the laboratory no matter what. Since I've already promised Sophie that I would guard the entrance, I can't break my promise.
However, he was already heavily injured, and he ended up crashing to the ground upon receiving a kick from a terrorist.
Arius intended to rise to his feet once again because he wasn't giving up.
He struggled with all his might, but he couldn't get back up on his feet.
A terrorist then went over to him and stepped on his body.
“D*mn it!” Arius' face was contorted with pain. I'm the best surgeon in the world, so I need my hands! If they injure my hands, I'll never get to operate again!
Right when Arius was about to retract his hand, the terrorist instantly stomped on it. Arius was in so much pain that his face was turning pale.
At this very moment, Tristan finally found them. When he saw what those terrorists were doing to Arius, he took aim and shot them down with a bullet each.
Prior to that, Arius really thought that was the end for him.
Hence, he was relieved when he saw the terrorists getting shot down one by one.
Arius then forced himself to sit up, and that was when he saw Tristan.
“You're finally here!” Arius knew Tristan would surely appear to save Sophie.
Tristan approached Arius and pulled the corpse on top of Arius' body aside. “Are you all right? Where is Sophie? Where is she?” Tristan got worried because he didn't see Sophie around.
“She's inside. She said she could definitely beat the virus this time around, so she told me to guard the entrance for half an hour.” Arius glanced at his watch. It's almost time.
“She should be out soon,” Arius added.
True enough, the entrance to the laboratory opened automatically, and Sophie was seen walking out.
When she saw Tristan there, she went to hug him. “Why are you here?”
“I got worried about you after I found out what happened here. Are you all right?” Tristan asked.
“I'm fine. All right. Let's get out of here. It's not safe anymore.” Since the terrorists had already targeted the place, the building could be destroyed at any moment.” They had to get out of there as soon as possible.
“Okay.” Tristan gave Sophie a gun while he was still holding the submachine gun he came in with.
“Are you all right, Arius?” Only then did Sophie bother to ask about Arius.
“What the f*ck? You're rather ungrateful, aren't you? You forgot about me the moment you saw Mr. Tristan! Didn't I guard the entrance for you? Can't you see I got heavily beaten up?” Arius grumbled. My handsome face is ruined! I can't even look at myself in the mirror now!
