"Watch out!"
Samuel suddenly covered Nicole's head. A series of red lights shot at them.
"They knew?"
"Let's go!"
Samuel grabbed Nicole's hand and rolled to the ground. But they seemed to be being watched, and the
light tracked them wherever they ran.
Nicole was wondering what was going on.
"Infrared ray?"
"Right."
Samuel wanted to explain to Nicole, but now she had understood.
"My bad. Leo watched every palace with this infrared monitor. That's why when I went to Zayn's palace,
Leo showed up. Remember? You and I just arrived at Phoenix's palace, and Leo was there. He had
found us a step earlier."
Samuel felt some fear.
"Then Yanice..."
Nicole's expression changed.
"With Fill there, Yanice will leave safely. Even if Leo finds something, he won't find that person."
Samuel didn't dare to say Davon's name, but Nicole understood.
He was afraid there was a listening system.
"What should we do now?"
Nicole and Samuel kept running and hiding, but they were unable to escape. Although they could avoid
the attack, the feeling of being chased was terrible. Moreover, the noise here would attract the attention
of the guards. They might be caught on the spot.
Samuel was a little anxious.
He glanced at the secret room and whispered, "Perhaps the only safe place now is that room."
"But how do we get in? We don't know how long it takes for infrared rays to scan the palaces."
Nicole was upset.
It was her fault.
If she had told Samuel about this earlier, it might not have happened.
But Samuel did not blame her. He whispered, "Let's go there first. It's not infrared rays. But maybe this
light can help us open the room."
Nicole understood.
This was Santino's palace. And he wouldn't rely on Leo's infrared to open his secret room. Maybe there
was an infrared scanner here.
Nicole then focused and watched the light that struck them. She discovered that it was coming from a
thing similar to a camera.
In other words, that was their key to opening the room.
Nicole was distracted and then shot by the light.
"God... "
Nicole groaned because of the pain. Her arm went numb. It was like an electric shock.
"Nicole!"
Samuel's face immediately turned pale.
"Don't mind me. Hurry up and go on. Perhaps you are correct. These lights may really open the door!"
Nicole didn't have time to care about her wound. She pulled Samuel's hand and ran towards the secret
room.
Both of them were nimble. So as long as they didn't get distracted, they could not be hurt.
When they arrived at the door of the secret room, the lights also followed them. The light made the
door sound an alarm.
"Please enter the password or the fingerprint."
The secret room made a sound.
Samuel and Nicole were stunned.
Holy shit!
Why would Santino use technology?
Fingerprint?
Nicole wanted to curse.
Samuel quickly opened the virtual computer and deciphered the password.
This was quite easy for Samuel. Not long after, the door opened.
"Let's go!"
Samuel grabbed Nicole's arm and pulled her into the room. The door immediately closed. At the same
time, someone suddenly opened Santino's bedroom and a group of guards walked in.
"I heard something. Search! Kill anyone you don't know!"
The captain frowned and narrowed his eyes. He saw a drop of blood on the floor.
Someone was here!
However, this place was heavily guarded. How did anyone get in?
And where did that person hide?
He looked at Santino's secret room. Other than Santino himself, no one could open this room. It was
almost impossible for others to get in if they didn't know the password.
The captain then stopped suspected anyone in the secret room.
"Search carefully. Don't let go of any clues. If Mr. Santino blames us for losing something, we're
screwed!"
The captain was cautious.
Nicole and Samuel felt a little afraid when they heard this.
They were almost caught.
"Let me check your arm."
Samuel was concerned about Nicole.
Nicole finally felt the pain.
She looked at her arm. A small patch of skin had turned dark red. She felt like it was burnt.
"This is a light bomb. Its high temperature can melt steel. You were hit by this. But luckily it only grazed
you. Or you'll lose your arm."
Samuel did have some research on these weapons. His gaze was colder.
"Although Country F is not big, its military equipment and security system are quite advanced. I finally
understand why Leo and Jayden want to own mines."
"For the military."
Nicole was not stupid. She quickly understood.
Whether it was the development of weapons or the maintenance of the army, money was needed. As
for the most advanced weapons, money cost like paper.
Country F was small. Even if it was wealthy, it would not be enough to support a large military force.
And it probably had a large army because Leo and Jayden wanted mines.
"But this is a small country. They can't train soldiers in secret."
Nicole was confused about this.
However, Samuel whispered, "Everyone can be a soldier."
Nicole was stunned.
Everyone?
If everyone in this country could be regarded as soldiers, then its power would be terrifying.
It meant that men, women, and children were all soldiers. How powerful would they be?
Nicole didn't dare to imagine.
"What exactly is this Leo trying to do? Destroy the entire world? Horrible ambition!"
"People's desires are infinite. Leo and Jayden may want to stand at the top of the world and control us
all. It was not that bad for a good person standing in that position. But if these two brothers get their
way, the world may be in for a rough ride. Forget about them now. You need to be treated, but there are
no medicines or tools here. Nicole..."
Samuel felt hurt.
Nicole understood what Samuel meant. She smiled and said, "I'm your woman. Are you afraid that I
won't be able to endure the pain? I've experienced worse. I can bear anything."
Samuel felt the word "worse" had stabbed him. He knew it was because of him.
"I'm sorry."
Samuel was apologizing for her previous life. He hated himself for not suffering for Nicole. This would
be something he would never be able to let go of.
"I'm not saying this to make you feel guilty. I have medicinal alcohol and a dagger in my bag. What you
can do now is to cut out the dead muscle and let the new flesh grow. Although this light boom only
grazed me, it will cause inflammation and fever. I might become a burden to you. And judging from the
situation just now, we might have been exposed. There's not much time, so Samuel, don't think too
much. Do what you have to do. I believe you! "
Nicole's burning gaze stared straight at Samuel. She was so brave. She totally trusted Samuel.
Samuel felt hurt that he could hardly breathe.
He had been in the war and had encountered this before, so he knew what to do. If the person in front
of him was a soldier, he would not hesitate to do it. However, Nicole was his wife!
Nicole held his hand. Samuel's hand trembled. She smiled gently and said, "Samuel, you are saving
me. You know this is the best and the fastest way, right? I can hold on."
"Grab my arm. If it hurts, you can bite me."
Samuel knew he had to do this and had to do this now. Nicole could not wait.
Samuel struggled. After a few seconds, he decided to do it.
He loved Nicole, so he hoped that Nicole would be fine. But since something had happened, he
needed to keep Nicole safe in the shortest possible time.
Nicole nodded.
Samuel did not dare to look into her eyes. He was afraid he couldn't continue.
That was his weakness.
Samuel mocked himself, but he acted quickly and accurately.
He knew that the more he hesitated, the more pain Nicole would suffer.
The knife dipped in alcohol and touched her arm. Nicole's body trembled from pain. Cold sweat oozed
out from her head, but she could not shout or cry. She was afraid that it would distract Samuel.
She knew that Samuel must be in pain. She bit her lower lip so hard that she didn't notice the blood
coming out.
Samuel's operation was skilled. He was not good at curing people, but he was good at this.
When Nicole felt that she was about to lose her consciousness, Samuel had bandaged up her wound.
But Nicole then fainted. Until that moment, she was still sitting straight. The blood from the corner of
her lips stung Samuel's eyes.
