Gunfire drew immediate attention, and heavily armed guards swarmed their position.
"Theresa, get everyone out of here! The main gate is just ahead!" Elena shouted over the deafening noise.
"But what about you?"
"Don't worry about me! Go!"
Elena provided covering fire, holding the reinforcements at bay. Her hands never stopped moving, her weapon blazing as she fought off the relentless waves of syndicate thugs. Just as the sheer numbers began to overwhelm her, Logan Hughes burst onto the scene.
"Boss, I've got your six!" Logan yelled, raising his own submachine gun and joining the fray.
Together, the two of them moved with lethal synchronization, mowing down a massive swath of enemies.
Suddenly, the heavy iron gates at the entrance groaned open.
The deafening rumble of engines echoed through the compound as a fresh convoy poured in, sealing the exit completely.
They were trapped! There was no way out!
"Boss, their backup is here!" Logan warned.
Staring at the entrance, they realized the situation had just escalated from bad to catastrophic. Armored military vehicles had rolled into the compound! It seemed the syndicate had called in the local warlords for support.
Aside from Elena and Logan, the terrified captives who had been trying to flee were now corralled in the center of the courtyard.
A voice boomed from a megaphone mounted on the lead armored vehicle. "Nobody move! Anyone takes a step, we'll blow you to pieces!"
The crowd froze in sheer terror. Facing down military-grade armor was something out of their worst nightmares.
This wasn't a skirmish anymore; it was a warzone.
"I heard the warlords basically own this part of Myantara. Guess the rumors are true," Logan muttered under his breath.
Elena offered him a cold, arrogant smirk. "You don't need to know who I am. I'm just here for my friend."
Woods had never encountered someone like her. To single-handedly tear through a heavily fortified syndicate meant she was no ordinary woman, and he didn't want to provoke a war with someone who clearly had dangerous backing.
"Which one is your friend?" he demanded.
"Her!" Elena pointed to Theresa.
Woods narrowed his eyes at the trembling heiress. She was just another woman; he would have let her go days ago if he had known she'd bring this much trouble.
"Listen here, little girl. I'll do you a favor," Woods negotiated. "Take your friend and leave. I won't pursue this any further, provided you walk out of my compound right now."
For Elena's crew, it was the best-case scenario.
But as she glanced back at the hundreds of captives behind her—people who had been trafficked and dragged to this hell—she hesitated.
