Chapter 1846: The Battle of the Heron and the

Clam, the Fisherman Profits

The unidentified black-clad individuals began to surround Vicki and

Felix, their numbers overwhelming and making it difficult for them to

defend themselves. Initially, they fought side by side, but later, they

became increasingly overwhelmed.

Felix and Vicki were separated, and seeing more people attacking

Vicki, Felix grew anxious and wanted to end the fight quickly. However,

the more he rushed, the more vulnerable he became, and he suddenly

took several punches to the abdomen. The pain caused him to double

over, but even so, he managed to fend off several individuals

attempting to attack Vicki. After all, Vicki was pregnant.

Finally shaking off the few people in front of him, Felix grabbed Cloud

from behind and angrily questioned, “Are these reinforcements you

called for? If you truly love Vicki, how could you let her get hurt? Your

love only revolves around power and yourself!"

"Nonsense!" Cloud kicked away the person attacking him in front,

"These people aren't mine!"

Although Felix had suspected it, hearing Cloud admit it firsthand still

shocked him.

If they weren't Cloud's people, then whose could they be? It was highly

unlikely that they were sent by Joyce and Luther; otherwise, they

wouldn't be attacking him. Christian wouldn't send people to attack

Vicki. Athena's people wouldn't attack Cloud. It was too strange. He

couldn't figure out who this third-party force could be. Their intervention

in this chaotic situation seemed to indicate that their target was Vicki.

Damn it! He had something else to worry about. The effect of the anti-

electromagnetic pulse metal rod was limited and couldn't last forever.

Soon, Vicki's hands and feet would be restrained. What should they do

then?

Felix grabbed Cloud by his collar and landed a punch on his face, "You

bastard, unlock her electronic restraints quickly!"

Cloud was nearly stunned by Felix's punch. Regaining his senses, he

forcefully pushed Felix away, defending himself against the attacks of

the unfamiliar assailants. Meanwhile, he hurried towards Vicki.

Just as Vicki was fending off an attack, she saw a black-clad individual

about to kick her in the abdomen. Felix rushed forward and stood in

front of her.

With a muffled groan, Felix took the full force of the kick, feeling the

pain as if his internal organs had shifted out of place. But he was

relieved that Vicki remained unharmed.

At that moment, Cloud rushed over and grabbed Vicki's wrist, but she

instinctively tried to break free.

"Don’t move!" Cloud shouted, swiftly removing an electronic lock from

one of Vicki's wrists.

Vicki hesitated for a moment before understanding Cloud's intention.

She fought and retreated until she reached a corner, while Felix

continued to defend in front.

Cloud quickly removed the remaining electronic locks from Vicki's body.

However, at that moment, a black-clad person launched a surprise

attack from behind Cloud. Caught off guard, Cloud was kicked to the

ground, tumbling a few times before managing to struggle to his feet.

Vicki and Felix were once again separated.

With his vision blocked and unable to see Vicki, Felix grew increasingly

frantic and began to lose his footing. Suddenly, someone struck

forcefully at the back of his neck. Felix felt darkness envelop him,

knowing that he was about to lose consciousness. He was filled with

worry and had no idea how Vicki was faring. Who were these people?

In his final moments with his eyes closed, Felix saw someone wielding

a knife aimed at his chest.

The gleaming silver blade pierced his eyes, revealing that their target

was not only Vicki but also his life!

He knew he had to avoid it, but his brain could no longer command his

body, and he could only watch helplessly as the blade approached him.

Finally, he closed his eyes weakly, not worried about himself but only

concerned about Vicki. As long as she was safe, everything would be

fine.

Just as the dagger was about to pierce Felix's chest, Mr. Ball suddenly

appeared and kicked the person holding the knife from behind, while

Nishant rushed forward, blocking Felix's body.

"Protect Mr. Saunders!" Mr. Ball shouted, "Get him out of here first!"

Nishant quickly supported the unconscious Felix and headed towards

the secret passage. Their people had already entered, defending,

protecting, and retreating simultaneously.

With Felix propped on Nishant's shoulder, after stumbling a few steps,

he suddenly regained consciousness, opening his eyes with sheer

determination.

He grabbed Nishant tightly, "Don't worry about me, save Vicki."

Nishant refused, “I'm sorry, Mr. Saunders, but my primary task is to

ensure your safety."

“You bastard!" Felix pushed Nishant away and stumbled back.

Nishant hurriedly approached Felix to support him and shielded him

from sudden attacks.

Mr. Ball saw the situation and shouted, “I haven't seen Vicki; she's not

here.”

Felix felt a cold sweat run down his back, and his head began to spin

on the verge of fainting.

His voice trembled, "It's impossible... I saw her earlier..."

He forcefully opened his eyes and scanned the surroundings, but Vicki

was nowhere to be seen.

Not only that, but even Cloud was searching for Vicki, his anger

uncontrollable as he fought against Mr. Ball.

"Where did you take her? Hand her over. Don't think you can take her

away."

Mr. Ball took a punch and retaliated with another, "You better hand her

over!"

After a few exchanges, they realized something.

They were all searching for Vicki, but she was nowhere to be found.

Clearly, Vicki had been kidnapped by a third party amid the chaos.

The heron and the clam were fighting, and the fisherman was profiting.

It was evident that the opposing side had come prepared and had been

secretly observing both sides all along. Otherwise, they wouldn't have

been able to seize the opportunity so accurately.

The most crucial point was that they had no idea who the opposing side

was. And they had no idea where to start looking.

Realizing the dire situation, Felix's vision went dark, and he finally

couldn't hold on any longer, losing consciousness.

Mr. Ball signaled Nishant with his eyes. Given the circumstances, they

had no choice but to prioritize Mr. Saunders’ safety.

The fight continued as their people gradually retreated. The members

of the third party and Cloud's people were still entangled, but it was

evident that many of them were also withdrawing, having likely

achieved their objective.

Although Mr. Ball felt unwilling, he had no other choice but to bring the

unconscious Felix back to their stronghold as quickly as possible.

Nishant, alone, searched every corner of the stronghold but couldn't

find any trace of Vicki. Helpless, he grabbed one member of the third

party and tied them up, taking them along to be questioned later.

Meanwhile, Cloud, after repelling the third-party forces, searched

everywhere for Vicki but found no signs of her.

It was only when he discovered one of Vicki's earrings in a hidden

passage connected to the underground defense network that he

realized Vicki had been abducted by someone and taken through the

underground network to an unknown location.

If it wasn't Felix, then who could it be?

Who was targeting her?

Cloud suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and his back turned cold.

When they were younger, Vicki had been kidnapped by Seren, and that

ominous premonition struck him again. He worried that this time, Vicki

was truly in danger!
