Chapter 2992
A sharp shout interrupted their movements. "Who's there?"
"Take them all down!" Adolph shouted back, aware that time was even more of the essence now.
With discovery, stealth was unnecessary. The group leaped into action, engaging in a fierce melee. The sounds of the fight echoed inside the building.
"What's happening out there?" the leader of the captors asked, frowning.
"Somebody's here, not sure who. They're tough, definitely skilled," someone nervously reported. "Could we have been discovered?"
"How could anyone find this place!" the leader snapped, his face pale with anger.
Silence followed as they realized they had company.
Nicole exchanged a glance with Paige, understanding that Adolph and Zane must have arrived. Subtly nodding in agreement, they began secretly working on the ropes binding their hands. Soon enough, the knots were undone, and with a flick of her wrist, Nicole dropped the ropes.
Flexing their wrists, they launched an attack on the leader before their captors could react. Caught off guard, the leader stumbled back after a solid kick.
Facing the two women standing back-to-back in fighting stances, the leader looked utterly dismayed. "This is your trap!" he exclaimed, finally realizing the situation.
The two women, who seemed unacquainted and helpless before, now worked seamlessly together, demonstrating impressive skills. With attackers outside, he understood the entire setup.
Nicole's eyes, cool and detached, swept over the leader of their assailants. "Too bad you're learning this too late," she said with a hint of irony in her voice.
As her words fell, Nicole and Paige attacked the leader again. The strategy was clear: capture the leader, and the rest would be easy.
