Chapter 327
Sebastian shook his head, indicating that they were not.
Linda’s face turned crestfallen upon hearing that.
The members of the Dragon Team were still not there. Could something have happened?
There were a lot of deafening sounds around the town when Linda entered with Haylan just now. She knew those were the muffled sounds of combats between the Dragon Team and other experts.
The other party had come prepared. It was very likely that they had set up an ambush for the Dragon Team!
The Dragon Team could not have foreseen this trap!
There was a probability that the members of the Dragon Team perished.
After all, those were brutish criminals and could do anything.
Killing was a piece of cake for those people.
“Leader, go and rescue the other hostages first. I’ll be fine, Linda assured Sebastian.
Sebastian glanced at Linda, then at the haversack in her hands, before turning to leave.
“By the way, leader. By any chance, did you come across a very handsome man who was topless and with wounds all over his body on your way in? Grace asked.
“No.” Sebastian shook his head.
“Really”
“Our troops only saw the criminals and the school teachers and students when we marched in. Other than Officer Korran, we didn’t see anyone else”
When Linda and Grace heard that, they looked at each other. They could see the disbelief in each other’s eyes.
Haylan had walked into the white smoke again just now Logically speaking, he should have encountered Sebastian and the police.
However, none of them saw Haylan. How did Haylan leave then
Sebastian did not probe further He speedily brought his men to the other classrooms to save the other people.
Linda endured the pain from her wound and stood up, trembling
Grace quickly supported her and said, “Officer Korran, your leg is hurt badly. Can’t you just lie on the ground and wait for help?”
As she said that, Grace used her free hand to secure the coat that she had draped over Linda’s legs to make sure that they
were secure
“This is not the time to be resting. We must hand this thing over to the Dragon Team as soon as possible.” Linda gritted her
teeth.
She clenched the haversack with both hands, her eyes fervent
The Dragon Team was in the forest outside the town. She had to reach them.
“Officer Korran, we’re right here.”
A gentle voice called her name at this moment.
It was that young man wearing a traditional suit. Linda had seen him in the forest previously. He was now standing at the door to the classroom and smiling at her.
He was a dashing and charming man, with a smile as bright as sunlight. He appeared amiable and gave off friendly vibes. Standing behind him was a peerless beauty with a bow and arrow on her back. There was also a young man with a crew cut and earnest-looking eyes. This young man had a long saber on his back.
There were wounds and blood on all three of them.
However, their clothes were a more horrid sight. They were practically drenched in blood.
Obviously, those were the enemy’s blood!
Although the three of them looked young, they possessed a sharp glint in their eyes. They emanated an ominous aura around them that no one dared to disregard.
“Who are you?” Grace asked cautiously as she shifted and stood in front of Linda
“They are experts from the Dragon Team. They are the guardian deities of Longhard Kingdom and our most lethal
weapons
Linda heaved a sigh of relief at their presence and immediately passed them the blood-stained haversack she was holding In a respectful tone, she said. Tve retrieved the stolen treasure. Please take a look”
“Thank you”
The young man in the traditional suit walked over and took the haversack from Linda. After opening the haversack and confirming its contents, he took a medicine bottle from his pocket and handed it to Linda. “Officer Korran, you’ve worked hard.
“These are remedy pill especially made by our Dragon Team. They are very effective for healing external injuries.”
As he spoke, he passed the haversack to the young man with the long saber.
The young man with the long saber took the haversack and slung it on his back.
Linda looked at the young man with the saber with ardent respect.
Was he the incredible expert in the forest who split the plane in half in just one move?
Linda turned her gaze to the beautiful woman with the bow and arrow on her back, and her eyes burnt with even more admiration.
Her sharp arrows traveled at lightning speed. Their range was further than machine guns, and their attacks inflicted more damage than sniper rifles. They could pierce through steel-reinforced armed helicopters. She was the legendary, unrivaled
shooter
They were unbelievably strong.
They were her idols!
The young man in the traditional suit stared at Linda with bright eyes and said, “Officer Korran, did you snatch this haversack back?”
Linda was about to reply truthfully that it was Haylan when she remembered their agreement. In the end, she replied with a slight frown, “That’s right. I did!”
The expression of the young man changed when he heard this, but he did not pursue the matter. Smiling, he commented, “Officer Korran, you have done a great job this time. As a reward, we will specially recruit you to be a member of our Dragon Team
However, Linda was impassive and only replied sternly, “Thank you. I admire the Dragon Team very much. I even dreamed about joining the Dragon Team.
“Nonetheless, I will only join the Dragon Team with my own efforts and not rely on your special recruitment.”
Joining the Dragon Team was her dream, but she wanted to rely on her own efforts to achieve her goal and not on others.
If she entered the Dragon Team by claiming another person’s credits, she would never be genuinely proud of herself.
Moreover, the main contributor to this task was Haylan. She was already guilty of going against her conscience and claiming the credit that belonged to Haylan. How could she still agree to such a request?
She was still someone with ethics and integrity!
“Officer Korran, you have commendable integrity. I’m impressed!”
The young man in the traditional suit took a good, long look at Linda upon hearing her reply. After giving his thanks again, they turned and left.
The three of them came and went like the wind. They soon vanished within the school.
Linda stared at their departing silhouettes with longing in her eyes. The anxiety in her body loosened a little, and she sat hard on the floor. She took a long breath in
A sense of foreboding overcame Linda just now when Sebastian glimpsed at the haversack. Her heart was in her throat.
At last, the haversack was finally in the hands of the Dragon Team. Linda could finally be at ease.
Now that the dust had settled, Linda could no longer hold out. After lying on the ground, she fainted on the spot.
Grace was thrown into a state of alarm. She screamed, “Is anyone around? Help!”
Outside the school, the young man in the traditional suit, the ageless beauty, and the man with the saber got into a luxury
car.
They put their weapons in the car’s boat.
The man with the saber wrapped his arms around the haversack and looked toward the young man in the traditional suit who was in the driver’s seat. “Leader, that Linda is obviously lying. She is incapable of retrieving these two treasures on her
