Chapter 830
The terrorists arrived and ended their conversation by starting an intense gunfight in the forest.
Tristan and Sophie were naturally compatible and worked in sync.
If they had enough bullets, there was no way the terrorists could defeat them.
However, to their dismay, they ran out of ammunition.
“You said they wanted to hold me captive, right?” Sophie asked Tristan, who was behind her.
“Mhm.”
At that point, only one bullet was left in Tristan’s machine gun. They were done if the terrorists launched another round of attacks.
“Then I’ll go. I’m curious why they want to catch me.”
Hearing that, Tristan quickly held her hand to stop her.
“No, I’ll never let them take you in this situation. Hold on a little longer. We only need to hold out until someone comes for us.”
Tristan…”
Sophie was all too clear that he was exhausted to the core at that point and wanted him to rest.
“I’ll be fine. You have to trust me, all right?”
“Yeah, I know.”
Not giving them time to consider, the terrorists abruptly launched another round of attacks.
The last bullet was used up, and their enemy would not give them a chance to fight hand-to-hand.
With no choice, Sophie and Tristan put their hands up in the air and walked out of their cover.
One of the terrorists’ anger sparked when he saw the two who killed his comrades and wanted revenge.
However, Tristan gave him a hard kick before he could approach Sophie.
“Stay away from her!”
“You… You’re quite tough, aren’t you? Very well! Let me teach you a lesson, you Chanaean man!”
The person who spoke was a man with blond hair and blue eyes. Moving his wrist, he had always thought Chanaeans to be weak.
Sophie stopped Tristan to prevent escalating the situation.
They were surrounded by terrorists loaded with guns. A moment of rash action could cost them their lives.
Tristan gave her a reassuring look. Since the other party wanted to fight hand-to-hand, he would not give up this opportunity.
This was their opportunity. If they could snatch their opponent’s machine gun, these people would not be able to live to see tomorrow.
As expected, Tristan effortlessly knocked down the man.
“That’s enough. We’re here today only for one objective. That is to bring these two back with us.”
Dissatisfied with his own performance, the man who got beaten to the ground was reluctant to accept the reality.
Just then, Tristan saw Nicholas approaching with a group and thought it was the perfect chance.
He snatched the submachine gun of the man on his left and began to fire at the terrorists.
Sophie, too, seized the opportunity and grabbed a submachine gun. Her marksmanship was on par with Tristan’s, launching fast and accurate movements.
Nicholas came over with his group and surrounded the terrorists. After seeing Sophie and Tristan in the crowd, he turned to say to his subordinates, “Don’t hurt the girl, or I’ll make you pay with your life.”
He had left everything behind and rushed here to save Sophie. As for Tristan, it wouldn’t be bad for him to die here.
Butterfly came with the group as well. After hearing what Tristan said, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
“Nicholas, if anything happens to Tristan, Sophie will not let you off. If I were you, I’ll have a fair competition with Tristan and not play dirty tricks.”
Nicholas was rendered speechless by her words.
Sophie would never give me a chance. How can there be any fair play? Besides, he’s not a good person. Why should I have a fair competition with him?
Butterfly closely monitored Nicholas’ actions. She knew he hated Tristan and wanted to make sure he didn’t make a silly mistake at this point.
After all, he saved my life. Despite being a nut job, he’s not an evil person.
Soon, all the terrorists were wiped out by them. In the end, Nicholas suppressed his urge to play dirty.
Sophie and Tristan stood back to back without giving them any chance to counterattack.
As soon as Butterfly saw all the terrorists were taken out, she immediately ran toward Sophie and wrapped her arms around the latter.
“Sophie, are you all right? How are you feeling?”
In response, Sophie patted Butterfly on the shoulder and replied, “I’m fine. Let’s go!”
They needed to leave promptly to avoid being followed by another group of terrorists as they were drained of all energy.
At that moment, Arius came out from his hiding place. Butterfly’s lips twitched when she saw him.
“Why are you here? I thought you were dead! How can you hide in such a dangerous situation?”
Arius remained silent as he wasn’t in the mood to say anything. With no strength left, he leaned against Butterfly.
“What are you doing? I’m telling you, Arius! I have no feelings for you, you—”
Hearing that, Arius rolled his eyes at her.
“Don’t worry! I have no feelings for you too. I’m exhausted, starving, and need some support.”
Seeing how pale he looked, Butterfly had no choice but to help him to the helicopter.
Arius got into the helicopter first, followed by Butterfly, Sophie, and finally, Nicholas.
After getting into the helicopter, Nicholas told the pilot. “Let’s go! He’s not coming with us.”
Knowing Tristan’s personality, Nicholas said that on purpose to anger him, wishing he wouldn’t board the helicopter.
“That’s enough, Nicholas! We’re getting chased down now,” Butterfly chimed in. We’re here to rescue them, so why is he doing this when we’ve found them?
Sophie shot Nicholas a glare.
“If that’s the case, I’ll stay behind too.” Sophie wasn’t one to beg. Since Nicholas didn’t allow Tristan to come with them, Sophie wanted to get down.
“I—”
Nicholas felt utterly depressed. The feeling of being unable to go against anything a girl said was terrible.
“All right. Hop in!”
“No, thank you,” Tristan said smugly.
Everyone looked at him in disbelief.
“Unless you beg me!” Tristan spat coldly.
“F*ck you!”
Nicholas was truly enraged. This man is pushing his luck! I’m here for Sophie. How dare he act all prideful?
“Get in, Tristan! We need to leave now!” They still had many things to deal with and couldn’t bear to waste another second here. Moreover, he had run out of stamina and needed some rest urgently.
Under Sophie’s gaze, Tristan hopped into the helicopter without saying another word.
Meanwhile, Nicholas glared at Tristan, wishing he could kill the latter.
