Chapter 1425

I have my reasons. Just keep that in mind.”

“Okay.”

Martin was sitting in the ward when they pushed the door open. He had not left the room even once ever since Nicole had gone out.

“You’re back.’1 Martin stood up and looked at them.

“Yeah,” Nicole uttered.

“How did it go?” Martin looked at Nicole with a brow raised.

“Things weren’t bad at all,” she replied, not needing to worry about being ambushed anymore.

“That’s great,” Martin said.

Suddenly, Martin’s phone rang, and he took a glance at it.

“Nicole, somebody from the factory just called. I’ll make my way there now, since you guys are back.”

Martin looked at Nicole and said.

“Sure,” she replied. “Thanks for your help. See you.”

“No worries,” Martin replied. “See you around, Harvey.”

“Okay, drive safe,” Harvey said.

Harvey went up to Jared’s bed and looked at him.

Then, he walked over to Nicole and asked, “Should we get something to eat?”

“I’m good. I wish to stay here,” Nicole declined, as she thought that there had to be at least one person in the ward.

“Come on. I know you’re worried about Jared being alone here, but Luke has been taken care of.

Besides, there are so many bodyguards outside. Jared will be fine,” Harvey told Nicole.

“Even though Luke isn’t a threat anymore, I just don’t feel safe leaving Jared alone here. You should just go out and eat on your own.” Nicole hospital.

“Hold on, Nicole. We’re almost at the hospital,” Jared tried to comfort Nicole as he drove.

“Not the hospital. Look for Martin. He’s the best doctor around,” Nicole reminded him as she lay in the back.

Jared immediately turned the car around and drove to the Beacon factory.

Anxious, he gave Martin a call. “Martin, Nicole’s hurt. Where are you now?” “Nicole’s hurt?!”

‘I’m at home. You can come over now,” Martin told him. During the previous renovation, he had built a professional medical room in his house to be used in unique situations.

“Okay, well come over right now.”

Martin went to get the equipment ready as soon as he put down the phone.

Jared sped all the way there, running several traffic lights. In less than ten minutes, he had arrived at Martin’s place.

Jared carried Nicole inside. “Martin?”

Hearing Jared’s voice, Martin immediately got out to meet them.

“Put her on the bed,” he instructed.

Jared put Nicole on the sick bed and looked at her with an anxious look on his face.

“Go out and take a breather. I’ll check Nicole’s injuries.” Martin looked at Jared.

“I’ll stay here. Work on her now. I won’t disturb you.” Jared had no intention of leaving Nicole alone. He wanted to stay by her side.

looked at Harvey and returned to the bed to get some rest.

Harvey figured that it would not be appropriate for him to persuade her any further as she had already gotten into bed. In addition, he would be the one to blame, should anything terrible happen to Jared if Nicole left.

“Okay, I’ll go alone then. Let me know what you’d like to eat, and I’ll bring them back here,” Harvey offered as he looked at her.

“It’s fine. I don’t have an appetite.” Nicole took her laptop out and began typing away.

“Okay. I’ll get going now.” Harvey quietly left after seeing how Nicole was giving him the cold shoulder.

“Sure,” Nicole said, staring at her laptop screen without even lifting her head.

Harvey left the hospital. As soon as he figured that there was little point in eating alone, he returned to the office, instead of going to a restaurant.

Back in the base of operations, Carl was on the phone with Olaf. “Is the equipment ready?”

“It will be soon. Five units of Braves are yet to be armed.” Olaf responded.

“Good. Give me access to the Braves after they’re ready. I must start planning on the defense,” Carl said to Olaf.

‘They’re owned by the company. I’ve got to ask for my superior’s permission before doing so,” Olaf explained to Carl.

“Okay. Get it done as soon as possible. I fear that The Raven will launch another assault soon,” Carl said, telling Olaf about his worries.

“Sure. I’ll get it done right now.” Olaf hung up and dialed his superior’s number.

“Yes, I understand. Rest assured; I’ll be sure to cooperate with Carl,” Olaf said, addressing the person on the phone in the most courteous way he thought possible.

“Get the Braves ready as soon as possible. I need return to the central control room now. Keep me updated,” Olaf ordered his subordinates, after which he left.

Carl was still waiting for Olafs reply in the master control room, when all of a sudden, The Raven mounted another offensive again.

Carl immediately issued combat orders to every squad present there.” Send the Braves to the front and let them cover US. I need you to work together with the Braves and shoot at the enemies from the back. That way, we can defend against the enemies in the most effective way possible.”

“Sir, we don’t have access to the Braves yet, so our men are stuck out there. What should we do?” one of the group leaders reported to Carl.
