"It's too late now. I'm completely exposed. They've even deployed helicopters. If I come to you now, it'll only put you at risk," Macy said.
"Captain Osborne, you're saying that as if we're strangers. You successfully assassinated the King of Filren. You're our hero. No matter what, we'll get you back to Diatoran safely," Coco insisted.
"You've been undercover in Filren for a long time. If you're exposed because of me, it'll be a huge loss. It's better for you to continue your mission and contribute to Diatoran," Macy reasoned.
"But you're in danger now. If we don't help you, you'll be arrested," Coco urgently replied.
"Even if I meet up with you, you won't be able to save me. I think it's best for me to face this alone. At least that way, I won't compromise your identities," Macy insisted.
"Captain Osborne, time is running out. Stop hesitating and come over. We'll fight side-by-side."
At that moment, a helicopter hovered above Macy's Lamborghini.
However, the soldiers on the helicopter didn't dare to open fire recklessly. There were many pedestrians on the ground, and firing would risk hitting their own men.
They were now responsible for reporting Macy's position to the ground forces for pursuit.
"Thank you, but I can't endanger you," Macy said before switching off the communication device.
She drove on. Though she was fully aware of her predicament, she didn't want to drag others down with her.
Even if a few more secret agents were involved, it wouldn't change the current situation. Macy had already resolved to face her fate.
"Captain Osborne! Captain Osborne! Please respond!" Coco kept calling Macy, but there was no response.
The streets were filled with vehicles blocking Macy's path.
In a fit of anger, she stepped on the gas and rammed into the armored vehicles blocking her way. She'd rather die in battle than be captured.
Seeing Macy's vehicle approaching at high speed, the Filren soldiers were all terrified.
"Open fire! Shoot out her tires!" an officer shouted.
Numerous soldiers aimed at the Lamborghini's tires and began firing.
With that, a rapid succession of gunfire echoed.
Bullets rained down like hail. Even the Lamborghini couldn't withstand the onslaught of bullets. The tires of the Lamborghini were instantly blown out.
Unable to control the vehicle anymore, Macy could only let it plow forward.
Just then, she quickly unbuckled her seatbelt. As she opened the car door, she jumped out of the vehicle.
But the car was moving too fast. After Macy jumped out, she rolled on the ground several times before finally coming to a stop.
The Lamborghini collided heavily with the Filren soldiers in the armored vehicle, triggering an explosion.
After all, the Lamborghini's fuel tank had been shot, and there were many explosives in the car.
The Filren soldiers were blown into the air. Limbs and body parts were scattered everywhere.
…
Since Coco couldn't contact Macy, she had to call Caspian via satellite phone. Though her superior was Laina, Laina was also on the run, so Caspian was her last resort.
The satellite phone connected quickly.
"Lord Caspian, this is Coco Zeek. I'm undercover in Filren," Coco said directly.
"Coco, what's the situation over there? Did you meet Macy?" Caspian asked eagerly.
