    Just when they had found a safe ce, Sophia Worthington went out to purchase medicine for treating gunshot wounds. Surprisingly, she was spotted by a man in the same pharmacy due to her purchase of a few specific drugs. Sophia was slightly panicking. Although these drugs might not bemonly used, she had bought them separately! They were just a portion of the many drugs she had bought and she doubted even a physician could rte them to gunshot wound treatment, right?


    However, the man affirmed it almost immediately. If she hadn’t run away quickly enough, she would probably have been caught by now. Initially, Sophia assumed he was a cop and nned to cooperate, but after a brief encounter, she quickly turned and ran without hesitation.<div>


    When she started running, the man chased her right away, and what chilled her was the fact that, despite her agility, the man proved to be no pushover. Hence, she could only keep running while calling Finn Lewis. Sophia didn’t run towards the city center since the man didn’t seem keen on cornering her. However, she was quite sure he must be a military man, and not just an ordinary one.


    Even though Sophia specialized in technology, she had undergonebat training in their line of work and her hands-on abilities were not weak. She believed she could take down a normal soldier, but she knew instantaneously during her sh with the man that she would be taken down in less than three minutes if she didn’t run away immediately.


    Had it not been for the toy gun she held, which scared off the man for a moment, Sophia felt she wouldn’t have had the chance to escape.


    On the other hand, Kevin Worthington was expressionless. They weren’t touting the Blood de Special Forces as the best in the country, but Kevin dared to say it was one of the few teams that had experienced many real battles, and even several overseas operations. Few such teams existed within the country.


    Kevin had actually gone to the pharmacy to buy some cold medicine for his family. However, he overheard the woman’s request to purchase certain items, which aroused his suspicion. The items she asked for seemed quite ordinary, but for someone like Kevin, who was trained in battlefield first aid and special gunshot wound treatment, thebination of these drugs was more than just a coincidence.


    A few of the drugs could serve regr purposes when used individually. However, ifbined, they could only mean one thing—gunshot wound treatment! And the particr methods implicated weren’t something that an average person would know. Even when underground societies had shootouts, they wouldn’t use these methods in handling gunshot wounds. These particr methods were generally employed as emergency measures for battlefield first-aid and special forces under exceptional circumstances.


    After all, regr pharmacies aren’t hospitals. It’s hard to treat gunshot wounds; modern firearms would damage internal tissues no matter where they hit, even the most harmless spots would at least cause a clear puncture wound. Such injuries can hardly be sustained bymon medicines.


    So, Kevin probed her immediately. However, this woman was also very cautious. But the thing with someone like Kevin is, the more seamless your responses are, therger the loophole you’re exposing. So here they are now—the woman’sbat skills were average, but after the brief encounter, Kevin knew that she’d been trained inbat and had quite a considerable amount of practical experience.


    However, she probably wasn’t in the military or a mercenary, as shecked an aura of ruthlessness in her moves, or rather, her attacking strategies were not like those of special forces or mercenaries. Special forces or mercenaries like Kevin were trained to kill, not to engage in a hand-to-hand fight. They’d use real des and guns and aim directly for the vital spots. Hence, Kevin had initially held back, but being a military man, he definitely wouldn’t let her run loose in society.


    No matter the cause, having a gunshot wound was out of the ordinary. Sophia’s stamina was not on par with Kevin’s; her training was hardlyparable to a special-force soldier’s in terms of stamina. Although this area was the disorderly suburb of Gold and Silver City, surrounded by numerous shanty towns, her agility was no match for Kevin’s.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    The only reason Sophia hadn’t been caught yet was due to Kevin merely driving her towards the suburban area rather than her being fast. This was to avoid her going on the rampage and hurting innocent civilians around, as this area was inhabited by many.<div>


    “Young Master, should we help her? We don’t have our own forces in Gold and Silver City. If we are to help her, it might cost us points, which I don’t think is worth it,” Olivia Thatcher voiced her concerns.


    “Save her,” Finn Lewis thought for a moment and then decisively said, “They should have Bryski Miller’s information. Even if they don’t, I doubt they would be targeted for no reason.”


    Although Finn didn’t ask Olivia to thoroughly investigate the reason why these people were being chased, it was highly unlikely it was due to other reasons. After all, they were just corporate spies and even if they did steal intelligence from somepanies in the country, thosepanies wouldn’t have armed security personnel. They couldn’t have possibly shed with the local police. If they had, Olivia could have easily found out.


    This meant that the people shing with them must definitely be some power or other shady forces. Both of these possibilities indicated valuable information in the hands of Sophia and her team.


    “How many points do we need?” Some information did not require asking Zero; Olivia had detailed lists of the points required.


    “Sending a T1000 should be enough, and we need to evacuate and transport her two injuredpanions. These are not difficult tasks. We probably need about 1000 points.” Olivia casually said. 1000 points were nothing to Finn at his current standing.


    “Alright, do it. As for when to dispatch, you decide,” Finn nodded.


    In the frame, Kevin Worthington was still chasing Sophia. They had almost reached the edge of the suburb of Gold and Silver City and beyond them was a barren, deste area. Seeing that there were almost no people around now, Kevin prepared to take action. He could tell that the woman running in front of him was nearly drained of strength.


    Running a few dozen meters more, Sophia tumbled into a park ahead. Kevin looked around and realized that this was the Singing Emerald Lake National Wend Park in the southeast part of Gold and Silver City. He contemted for a moment and followed suit, jumping in right after her. However, the moment he entered, he immediately froze, his hair standing on end.
