I Hate You, Devil!

301  Final Arc Part XVIX

Earlier…

A soft crackle of static sounded from the mini walkie-talkie in Davi's lab coat pocket, pulling her out of the deep contemplation on her newly discovered development thanks to her latest toy.

"Dr. Davi, the intruders have left the sanatorium and crossed the connecting bridge. They're headed right for you." Team leader Alpha's voice came over the walkie.

"Noted. Proceed as planned, Kir." Davi acknowledged and one corner of her lips curled up.

"Do you need me to serve as backup, doctor?"

Davi thought for a moment. "Okay. But just you alone. These men are highly trained and are very sensitive to their surroundings. Too many people would only tip them off. Only step in when necessary."

"Yes, doctor!" And the communication ended, leaving a short crackle of static before silence reigned again.

"I saw Juu and Kyuu…" Three then smiled in a sinister manner, keeping his eyes fully trained on Dr. Davi. He was ready to attack the moment she showed any openings.

"Huh…?!" Davi started after hearing that. Her whole frame tensed up as she remembered that both Juu and Kyuu were still in treatment and could only be let out in another 6 weeks. What had Three done?! Rick had not mentioned anything to her earlier.

Davi lost her composure as worry for her patients took over her military training, just for a second. However, that was all it took.

Three lunged at her, as his fist was poised to deliver a hit that would definitely knock her out in one punch. Davi had fought well during her time in the military, but that was against normal humans. Thus, she found herself unable to defend against Three's attack. The next moment, Davi felt as though a huge boulder had slammed into her, throwing her to the ground.

"Ugh!!" She groaned at the sharp pain shooting up her hip. Opening her eyes, she saw that Three was lying on her, his full weight pressing down and making it hard for her to move.

"Dr. Davi!! Are you alright?" a worried voice called out and the weight suddenly lifted from her. Davi saw that Kir had lifted an unconscious Three off her. Breathing out a sigh of relief, Davi slowly sat up and moved gingerly, testing if anything was broken. Thankfully, other than a sprained hip from the heavy fall, everything else seemed to be working fine.

"Thank you for the timely intervention."

Kir only nodded. "Turns out that your development for this special tranquilizer for the superhumans was necessary after all."

And that reminded Davi of why it was needed. Three had distracted her with disturbing news. "What happened to the treatment tanks? Did something happen to Juu and Kyuu?" Davi wanted to rush over, but almost fell after taking a step. Her hip was still causing pain.

"Don't worry. It's under control. I had your lead assistant and the team go over to fix the damage done to the tubes of the treatment tanks. They had also hooked up the backup computer to regulate the controls of the treatment fluids as the intruders had destroyed the main one." Kir calmly narrated this to Davi while kneeling beside Three to restrain him. "Also, Mr. Chen had been informed of the situation. He is almost here."

Releasing a relieved sigh, Davi slowly lowered herself on the chair behind her. Thank God for her capable husband and skillful team!

Tires screeched as Yu Chen stepped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel hard to the right.

…

A few minutes before…

"Chen, you remember everything that happened… before?" Xiaolei's question cut through the tense atmosphere in the car. Looking at her husband, she noticed how his jaws worked and his knuckles whitened around the steering wheel.

"Yeah…" he answered after a few seconds of pause. "But we'll not let it go bad this time." Yu Chen then quickly turned, and determination flashed in his eyes as he took a second to look deep into Xiaolei's eyes before returning his attention back to the road.

"Mmm. We won't." Xiaolei agreed in a soft but steely voice.

Yu Chen knew from memory that Zaki had fought with One in their mansion. And in their past life, Zaki was badly wounded from their fight. Therefore, when he saw a figure walking out of his home, he had immediately floored the pedal, wanting nothing more than to flatten this person – One. Preferably he would like it if One just died upon impact.

"Xiaolei! Brace yourself!!" Yu Chen shouted and at the same time, he spun the wheel hard to the right, sending their car throttling a sharp left and directly into a limping and shocked One. In the next second, they clearly felt a solid impact of a human body against the body of their car before slamming into the wall of their house at a 45-degree angle. That was the only reason why One was still in one piece and not a meat paste as what Yu Chen had wished.

Coming to his senses, Yu Chen shook his head, trying to clear the buzz that was going on in his ears. Thankfully their car was fully equipped with top of the state safety measures. Upon collision, the airbags were deployed and neither he nor Xiaolei were injured. Xiaolei was still in a daze from the impact with no apparent injuries. After checking that she was fine, he ran out of the car and into the house to look for Zaki.

…

At the same time, choppers were landing at the open space beside the sanatorium. Sei pushed open the door and jumped off the chopper the moment it landed, followed by his team of elite men. They rushed directly to where Davi and Kir were.

"Davi! Are you okay?" Sei rushed straight to his wife who was looking a little pale and sitting on a chair. A few steps away, there was a man flat on his face while Kir was standing beside him. Sei only took a glance to assess the situation before turning his attention back to his wife.

"I'm fine, Sei. Just a mild hip sprain. We've got both Three and Seven." Davi hurried to reassure her husband. She knew he must have almost gone crazy with worry for him to rush over this quickly. She had thought he might have taken slightly longer to arrive. With her reassurance, Sei breathed out in relief. "What about the kids?"

"Not to worry. I've had Colonel Anderson and Kaide on station there with her team with the kids." Sei reassured her, knowing that the kids' safety was her concern. "Still, we better get you to the hospital since you're hurt." Sei could not help but crouch before her, touching her pale looking cheeks. Davi only laughed at that.

"I'm a doctor myself, darling. I have all that is needed here to treat myself. Don't you know that this place is better than other hospitals anywhere else?" She caressed his hair and leaned forward to land a gentle kiss on his lips.

"…Fine. But you'll have to let Dr. Yang help you with it." His tone was firm, not allowing any discussion. Davi nodded obediently as she would indeed need help. Who better than her lead assistant to help treat her?

Kir approached them and saluted Sei. "Sir, Madam, reporting. Three seemed to have lost all vital signs."

"Huh?! How did that happen? Why so sudden?" Davi questioned, surprised but not too affected by it. Sei did not even respond other than to turn and acknowledge Rick's report with a nod.

"I'm not sure, doctor. I have just checked on Seven, but he is fine. Only unconscious."

Davi looked contemplatively at Three from where she sat. However, none of them were sad about it as they knew if it was not Three who was the casualty, it would be Davi herself. There was no need to pity the enemy. "I'll check on him later."
