Taming A Billionaire

Chapter 739 - Seven Hundred And Thirty-nine: She Was Here

The third point of view:

He must have been crazy to think that he could go up against the Falcon Gang, Mikhail thought. The whole place was swimming with their members, well, it was their base anyway.

The member of the Falcon that had turned on his members was the one who led the way while Mikhail was in the center with his remaining bodyguard behind him and watching his back. It was an intense shootout however Mikhail was skillful in the first place else he wouldn't have killed his former boss and taken over the Blood Cobra.

"This is not the way to the entrance," Mikhail noticed after a while of running and shading from bullets, "You said my men would make a way,"

"I said your men would be a sacrificial lamb," The betrayer pointed out, "You don't really think that Sakuzi would let you pass through his front door alive?" he sneered at him.

"Then, my men...." It dawned on Mikhail.

"They are a distraction," his guard was the one who figured it out, "They are the only reason this place is not overflowing with his men," He already saw through the plan when he was asked to give the order - a death sentence - to the others.

"We've avoided enough cameras so far hence it would be a while before they catch up to us," the betrayer pointed out as he stopped at a door.

"And then what...?"

"And then we pray this tunnel entrance hasn't collapsed. This was one of the oldest secret ways we used in our underground transportation of firearms, however, it was closed down when the others were constructed in later years," He explained while hurriedly trying the lock that had rusted from neglect.

At once, Mikhail gasped in disbelief,

"So in a word, you brought me here when you weren't even sure of your escape route, "

The arrogance! The betrayer felt like pumping his bullets into his body, however, he couldn't do that since that woman needed him.

"No," he spoke through gritted teeth, "In one word, the only reason I haven't blasted your head off is because of that woman. So don't think for one moment that you have any privilege here because honestly, your offer was bullshit,"

The threat in his tone was obvious and Mikhail knew better than to push his luck.

When the betrayer couldn't struggle with the lock anymore, he pulled his gun and fired twice at the lock and it finally opened. However, the gunshots gave out their location, and almost immediately, they could hear the sound of approaching footsteps.

"Let's go," He was the first to go in, followed by Mikhail. However, Mikhail took only two steps when he noticed his guard wasn't following and he turned back to see his determined look.

"What are you doing?" He asked, even though he sensed what the man had in mind.

"I can't let them get to you. Someone has to stay behind and make sure you arrive safely," He said with an understanding smile.

Mikhail was stunned, then his features hardened, "I promise that you won't die in vain," he was sincere this time.

Just as Sakuzi feared, once he was out of this place, he would regroup and come back at them stronger and better. It was a promise. Mikhail learned enough lessons today and would make sure not to make any mistakes.

"Now go!"

Mikhail nodded and without hesitating, turned and took to his heels. He didn't look back, not even when he heard the gunshots and the moan of pain that undoubtedly belonged to his guard. It was a sacrifice he chose to pay and he can't die here else it would all be a waste.

The tunnel was badly illuminated, the bulbs were flickering on and off while most of them were damaged from lack of care, however, it was enough to illuminate their path. He caught up to the betrayer who seemed to know his way around and they both galloped on knowing that their enemies were not too far away from them.

Thankfully the entrance did not collapse as they feared, however, it was narrow and enough for just one person to pass at a time, carefully. The Falcon gang must have intentionally closed it off after they stopped the transportation - no wonder rumors of the tunnel collapsing surfaced.

Even with that, the both of them had to battle through a cotton of cobwebs that limited their sight. They came out looking uncool, draped with dust and gray cobwebs.

"Disgusting!" Mikhail muttered as he worked on getting rid of the dirt on him.

"We don't have time for this, we should go," The betrayer started down the vast hilly forest area saying, "Our ride should be here already,"

They both hurried off knowing that their liberty was around the corner. All that was needed was just a few more steps and the sweet air of freedom would be all they would breathe in.

"She's here," The betrayer pointed out and Mikhail could now see the car located on the rocky clear road since the headlights were on.

As they were just about to step out of the forest, call it instinct or something but the hairs on his back stood on edge and he knew that danger was around the corner. Being the selfish man he was, Mikhail quickly grabbed the betrayer by the collar and pulled him behind him only for two bullets to pierce through the man who groaned and fell.

Mikhail's eyes widened, that could have been him. He turned back at once and his eyes connected with that woman.

Nemesis.

She was here.

Whoever was in the car sensed the danger and at once roared the engine to life.

"Damn it," Mikhail cursed, he couldn't hide here forever. Sakuzi's men were regrouping and would block every necessary escape route from here very soon and whoever was in the car must have known it because she was reversing.

No, he can't stay here.

Mikhail came out of the tree he had used to defend himself after using the betrayer as a shield. He and Nemesis must have been in sync because she shot at him the same time she shot at him.

They both fell.
