Chapter 187 - 187. Where Is She?
Chapter 187 - 187. Where Is She?
But Aaron was not in the state to reply, he had already lost a lot of blood from his leg and abdominal wound, especially when he was carrying Kizy.
He felt completely weak, his energy drained, while another dagger had pierced him from the back.
"How dare you betray the professor?" A man said, punching Aaron directly in the face, making his nose bleed.
"Where is she?" Another man asked, the three of them surrounding Aaron from all sides.
But Aaron didn't reply to them at all.
The men were already impatient enough, plus with the sudden obstruction in their almost succeeding mission, how could they tolerate Aaron's silence.
Thus one of them kicked Aaron harshly, making him fall head on on the ground.
"He asked you something. Where is she?" He said angrily, pressing his foot over Aaron's earlier bloody wound.
Aaron shouted even more from pain, but didn't utter a single word.
The men, angry from Aaron's behaviour started beating him with even more force, kicking and punching him, hitting him over his already wounded places, making Aaron shriek and groan from pain, but he never opened his mouth even once to disclose Kizy's information.
"You won't understand it the easier way right? Fine. Let's make him experience hell now." A man said, taking out the dagger he had pierced Aaron with, and piercing it back in the same place, a little lower than its original stab.
Aaron shrieked loudly like an animal, but the man didn't stop. He removed the dagger once again, only to stab it back in Aaron's back.
The man was about to remove the blade for the third time, when suddenly a bullet shot right through his head, passing from one side to the other, exploding his head with the impact with the man dying on the spot.
The two men were immediately on high alert, looking back and forth, searching for some signs of the attacker but they couldn't.
Meanwhile Kizy, who had shot the man, hid back, trying to remain as silent as she could.
She had heard the men when they were torturing Aaron.
She could make out a blurry figure stabbing Aaron again and again from the place she was hiding.
Using her blurred vision along with heightened sense of hearing, and left hand instead of right one, Kizy accurately shot him in the head, killing him with one single shot.
But she knew that both he and Aaron were not in their best states, and will have to wait till someone arrives. Therefore she instantly hid behind the rocks again once she was done shooting.
She had initially thought that Aaron had left to find someone for help and thus kept her hidden. But she now understood that he was trying to mislead those men, by staying at some nearby place in a different direction.
"Stay alert." Both the men said to each other, while giving a meaningful look while looking everywhere.
But even after staying there for five minutes like that, there was no movement from the other side.
Meanwhile Aaron would occasionally look in all directions, fleetingly glancing towards the direction he had left Kizy to check whether she was completely hidden or not.
But he was truly amazed and thankful to Kizy for the one shot. Though he knew that he would die sooner or later, Kizy saving him even in such a state was truly an exceptional feeling for him.
He was thinking of some way to twist this plan, when one of the men signalled the other.
The second man quietly came towards Aaron, before stabbing him again, making Aaron suddenly scream loudly.
Kizy, who had thought that the men would do something different, was shocked to realise that they were once again hitting Aaron.
But she also knew that this might be a trap to make her reveal herself and her hidden position.
She was cursing her bad luck for losing her eyesight at such bad timing. She was still contemplating over what she should do when she heard Aaron's shriek when he was stabbed once again.
Finally, she could no longer tolerate and came out of the rocks with much difficulty, shooting towards the blurry figures. But she only managed to shoot in the abdomen, which was useless as the man was wearing a bulletproof vest.
"Don't shoot. Professor wants her alive and unharmed!" The man immediately warned the second one who had pointed his gun at Kizy.
"Go back Kizy! Run away!!" Aaron shouted from the ground, feeling sad as Kizy had to leave the safe place for him because he wasn't able to protect her till the end.
"You both, go away from him, or I'll kill you both." Kizy said, pointing the gun towards one man, his figure appearing nothing more than a blurred black moving thing.
The man walked 3-4 steps back, looking at each other.
Their leader had betrayed them, while others were already dead.
On top of this, the professor never let his men live, if they had run away or came back bringing news of failures to him.
Therefore both the men gave each other a look, nodding at the same time, before running towards the nearby trees, hoping that at least one out of them would succeed in bringing Kizy back to Imperial Nation.
But this thing exactly worked, as Kizy couldn't properly make out their figures now, especially when they were hiding behind trees and running speedily.
Aaron immediately understood what these men were trying to do.
"Kizy!! Turn back and run away!!" He shouted.
Kizy, who could only see Aaron's body on the ground, was confused about what to do.
Neither could she save Aaron, nor could she kill the two people blindly. With no option left, she thought it was better to stay here and try shooting those men, instead of running blankly without any direction to go and getting caught because of running slowly.
She kept standing on her position, gun loaded and pointed straight to kill whoever entered this area.
"BANG!!"
