Sophie shot Arius a dirty look.
“Stop your nonsense! You would have ended up in the beasts' stomach long ago if it weren't for Tristan and me.”
How dare he says I'm fierce?
“Well, let's just ignore him. Let it be if he wants to stay behind. We don't have to be here with him.”
Following the fight with the beasts, he was sweaty and felt uncomfortable since he had mild germaphobia.
His only wish was to leave this place as soon as possible.
After everything they went through, Arius knew he had to leave with them despite having no strength.
He didn't want to die yet as he hadn't enjoyed life enough.
None of them said anything on their way down.
Not long after they left, the terrorists caught up. Just then, the beast that knocked into the tree had awakened.
When it saw people approaching, it leaped and wanted to attack.
The people from the terrorist organization shot the beast immediately, causing it to no longer be able to stand up.
“Quick! It seems like they haven't gone far. We can catch up with them,” the person leading the terrorists said.
“Got it! Let's move!”
A whole group of several dozen of people promptly followed after the man.
The trio knew the terrorists were approaching them as soon as the gunshot sounded.
“No! They are catching up to us!” With the terrorists chasing after them, it depleted their energy.
Arius asked, “What should we do now?”
They didn't have enough gun power to face off with them.
“Hurry up! Move!”
Now, the only choice left was to avoid the terrorists. Despite being the impressive fighters they are, he and Sophie could not guarantee to win the battle if it wasn't a close combat but an open-fire battle.
“I agree. Let's move! Arius, you should walk in front.” This time, Sophie allowed Arius to walk before them as she didn't want him to be injured.
“Sophie, you—”
Arius felt pathetic as he needed protection from a girl.
“Be careful, okay? Don't get hurt. The other party has many people, and things might get out of hand.”
Arius bobbed his head in response.
“Don't worry too much about me! You two should take care of yourselves.” Arius didn't want to become a burden to them.
Then, the three of them quickened their steps.
Just then, a helicopter appeared and approached them. This time, it was Nicholas' helicopter.
After finding out Sophie was here, he immediately brought some people with him to rescue her. No matter what it took, he was set on making sure Sophie was safe and sound.
However, they were in mid-air in a primitive forest. It was not an easy task to locate Sophie.
Butterfly was in the helicopter too.
She had been trying her best to locate Sophie but to no avail.
Nicholas looked at Butterfly skeptically.
“Are you sure you can do it? Didn't you say you could find Sophie? What's going on now?”
In response, Butterfly glanced at him and replied, “Please keep quiet, Nicholas. Do you think I'm not worried? Sophie is my best friend!”
