Chapter 1789
Nicole glanced at him, and in an icy tone, she replied, "Nothing. This is beyond description."
After she had spoken, Nicole calmed down a little and placed her handgun away. "As our enemies have gotten what they wanted, the people downstairs should have retreated already. Let's go there."
"Alright." Jared nodded.
Then, the both of them strutted off and left the place leisurely.
Seeing this, Kelly could not help shooting Ike and Terry glances. "Moments ago, Nicole was in a rush to retrieve the data. What did Mr. Jared say to the two of them for them to be this calm and composed?"
"I'm not sure either..." Terry replied, not listening to anything at all as he was still in shock.
As for Ike, he was deep in his thoughts. 'Jared...what did he mean?'
At that moment, Nicole and Jared had entered the exclusive elevator, where he said, "Do you think there's something odd?"
Nicole looked at him. "There definitely is something fishy. Ike actually predicted the enemy's movements."
Without rebuking any of Nicole's claims, he replied, "I've been tracking down the Braves' location and I've finally determined their final route. However, after they had reached an open space, the signals were all cut off. I am guessing that there is an underground base there. It's just that my men...they can't enter."
Nicole nodded. "So, that was why you were not in a hurry? You wanted to use that enemy to enter the base?"
As of a few minutes ago, Nicole had already understood that, and that was why she played along with Jared.
"You're smart, and that's one of the reasons why you're my partner." Jared pursed his lips. "Let me handle this person first. I'll make sure to find them for you."
Nicole smiled, feeling a lot more relaxed now. "Alright, I believe in you."
Soon, the both of them reached the ground floor, and sure enough, the cacophony was gone.
Nicole heaved a sigh of relief. "It seems that they only dared to steal things in our country. They don't have the balls to kill people in broad daylight."
Jared looked at Nicole. "Or perhaps, your support arrived a little too quickly, n
It was only then that Nicole looked out of the entrance. The Interpol had already sent a unit over.
Nicole immediately walked out, and once Rowan noticed her, he approached her. "Are you fine?"
Now that Nicole had become the successor of the Fire Crest, it was no longer a secret anymore. Everyone knew that she was the key person being protected by the organization.
Nicole nodded in response. "I'm fine. These people are just here to rob us of a few things."
"What did they get? The organization's top secrets?" Rowan asked with a stern expression on his face.
Nicole shook her head. "Although those are not the organization's secrets, they are important data."
Rowan frowned. "Then, what should we do? Should we work to retrieve it?" Nicole darted her eyes at Jared. "Leave it to me. Our organization should not reappear again."
The last thing Nicole wanted was to alert the enemy and tip them off.
Terry sighed. "I got it."
At that moment, Max walked up to Jared's side.
Noticing that Max's arm was wounded, Nicole frowned. "Did you get hurt?"
Max replied, "I was worried they would hurt you or Mr. Jared when they broke into the office. So, we tried our best to stop them. Some of the men had suffered from minor injuries as well."
Nicole could not help but feel touched. The men were not allowed to bring weapons, and yet, they had fended off those armed men for so long. Max's capabilities were truly out of this world.
"Thank you, Max. Quickly send all the men to the hospital." Nicole looked at Max affectionately.
Jared then added, "Go ahead. The company will cover all the expenses. And one more thing, please compensate them and their families well."
"Noted." Max nodded.
