She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew) novel Chapter 417

However, almost instantly, Jaden and Brandon felt the pain in their chests subsided. The liquid that stained their chests wasn't blood. They subsequently realized that Athena and Matthew were unharmed.

Jaden and Brandon were dumbfounded. They looked at Nicolette, who was smiling. Both of them were still a little confused.

"You two failed this test." Nicolette spun the pistol between her fingers and put it back at her waist. "This is a simulated gun. Instead of bullets, we fired micro-blood packs.

"I've slowed down the speed of drawing and firing my gun, but your reactions were too slow and you weren't vigilant enough. I can't let you enter Wyomarlo City."

Nicolette then looked at Athena and Matthew. "You two passed the test. Not only did you react very quickly, but you could also tell that I was holding a simulated gun. Your observations and reaction speed are up to par. You may join us."

"So, Mr. Graham and Miss Donovan will follow us in. Jaden and Brandon will stay outside. Any objections?"

Although Jaden and Donovan were prepared to die in the fight, the shot just now did make them break out in cold sweat. They didn't act tough and nodded in unison.

Nicolette said, "Check the equipment and get ready. We'll quietly move into Wyomarlo City from the grassy area in three minutes."

There were a total of six people under Athena and twelve under Nicolette. Each of them had a gun and a smoke grenade, which Athena brought.

Athena sent Harry and Hommy to monitor the path ahead. She checked their surveillance images in real time on her phone and picked a route that the terrorists weren't monitoring.

Soon, only Jaden, Brandon, and a few armed special forces were left outside on the grass. Brandon was a little discouraged. "The two of us are really useless..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jaden's phone rang. "It's Luna. I'll go somewhere and answer it." Jaden walked to a tree, which was about 70 feet away, and answered the call.

The military and Athena had confirmed that there were no suspicious people in the area, where Brandon and Jaden were. They were safe there.

Brandon put his hand in his pocket and felt that there was half a pack of cigarettes inside. He rarely smoked and only smoked when he was depressed or irritable.

He had set a rule for himself, which was that he could only take one a day. But when he touched the cigarette pack, he held back.

"Ring, Ring!" his phone rang. It was Lindsay.

"Brandon, I'm in the west of Wyomarlo City. I'm very close to you, but the military won't let me in. Can you come and meet me?"

At that particular moment, soldiers were patrolling the periphery of Wyomarlo City. No one was allowed to go close to the city.

Brandon said, "Stay right where you are and wait for me. I'll come look for you now."

Lindsay could locate Brandon because their company was in the artificial intelligence business. There were smart products on Brandon's vehicle and some tracking devices were incorporated in the product.

Similarly, Brandon could do what Lindsay did to track where she was.After walking for more than ten minutes, he saw Lindsay, who was stopped by the soldiers.

When Lindsay saw him, she ran over and hugged him tightly. Tears flowed down her face. "Brandon, why didn't you tell me about this? Do you know how frightened I was when I heard others talk about this?

"Also, have you thought about my feelings when you came all the way here to risk your life? Why didn't you answer the phone?"

Lindsay had many friends from overseas. When her friends told her about the incident, she immediately called Brandon, but she couldn't get through no matter how hard she tried. She was worried sick.

After she tracked where Brandon was, she asked her father for help and found a way to get a helicopter to Gringger City.
