Chapter 1789

Nicole glanced at him, and in an icy tone, she replied, "Nothing. This is beyond description."

After she had spoken, Nicole calmed down a little and placed her handgun away. "As our enemies have gotten what they wanted, the people downstairs should have retreated already. Let's go there."

"Alright." Jared nodded.

Then, the both of them strutted off and left the place leisurely.

Seeing this, Kelly could not help shooting Ike and Terry glances. "Moments ago, Nicole was in a rush to retrieve the data. What did Mr. Jared say to the two of them for them to be this calm and composed?"

"I'm not sure either..." Terry replied, not listening to anything at all as he was still in shock.

As for Ike, he was deep in his thoughts. 'Jared...what did he mean?'

At that moment, Nicole and Jared had entered the exclusive elevator, where he said, "Do you think there's something odd?"

Nicole looked at him. "There definitely is something fishy. Ike actually predicted the enemy's movements."

Without rebuking any of Nicole's claims, he replied, "I've been tracking down the Braves' location and I've finally determined their final route. However, after they had reached an open space, the signals were all cut off. I am guessing that there is an underground base there. It's just that my men...they can't enter."

Nicole nodded. "So, that was why you were not in a hurry? You wanted to use that enemy to enter the base?"

As of a few minutes ago, Nicole had already understood that, and that was why she played along with Jared.

"You're smart, and that's one of the reasons why you're my partner." Jared pursed his lips. "Let me handle this person first. I'll make sure to find them for you."

Nicole smiled, feeling a lot more relaxed now. "Alright, I believe in you."

Soon, the both of them reached the ground floor, and sure enough, the cacophony was gone.

Nicole heaved a sigh of relief. "It seems that they only dared to steal things in our country. They don't have the balls to kill people in broad daylight."

Jared looked at Nicole. "Or perhaps, your support arrived a little too quickly."

It was only then that Nicole looked out of the entrance. The Interpol had already sent a unit over.

Nicole immediately walked out, and once Rowan noticed her, he approached her. "Are you fine?"

Now that Nicole had become the successor of the Fire Crest, it was no longer a secret anymore. Everyone knew that she was the key person being protected by the organization.

Nicole nodded in response. "I'm fine. These people are just here to rob us of a few things."

"What did they get? The organization's top secrets?" Rowan asked with a stern expression on his face.

Nicole shook her head. "Although those are not the organization's secrets, they are important data."

Rowan frowned. "Then, what should we do? Should we work to retrieve it?"

Nicole darted her eyes at Jared. "Leave it to me. Our organization should not reappear again."

The last thing Nicole wanted was to alert the enemy and tip them off.

Terry sighed. "I got it."

At that moment, Max walked up to Jared's side.

Noticing that Max's arm was wounded, Nicole frowned. "Did you get hurt?"

Max replied, "I was worried they would hurt you or Mr. Jared when they broke into the office. So, we tried our best to stop them. Some of the men had suffered from minor injuries as well."

Nicole could not help but feel touched. The men were not allowed to bring weapons, and yet, they had fended off those armed men for so long. Max's capabilities were truly out of this world.

"Thank you, Max. Quickly send all the men to the hospital." Nicole looked at Max affectionately.

Jared then added, "Go ahead. The company will cover all the expenses. And one more thing, please compensate them and their families well."

"Noted." Max nodded.

With the help of the bodyguards, Max made his way to the ambulance which had just arrived.

Nicole looked at Max and commented, "Max is really loyal to you."

"Of course," Jared replied. "This is exactly what I like about him."

Nicole looked at the chaotic mess in front of her and sighed. "It's really frustrating to see a joyous press conference turn into this."

Initially, she thought that she could glamorously attract a large amount of people for partnership opportunities. Yet, it had all ended in a mess.

Jared, on the other hand, laughed. "Sometimes, misfortunes can be actual blessings. With this, more people will know that our products are so good that even international criminal organizations are eyeing on it. We will surely gain more partnership opportunities."

"Really?" Nicole raised her eyebrows, feeling that Jared was too optimistic about the situation.

"Of course." Jared turned to Nicole. "Anyway, let's go. I'll have to arrange for some of my men to manage some important matters."

Nicole knew what Jared was talking about, and deep down, she was feeling excited.

She wanted to find the Braves as soon as possible again. Otherwise, she would not be at peace, so long as they were in the hands of the wicked men.

Nicole went on to assign Terry to take care of the situation. Then, she got into the car with Jared and left the place.

Before Jared went to his office, he sent Nicole back to the Riddle family manor.

At that point, the Riddle family was already in a mess because Samuel and Spencer had followed Nicole to the press conference. However, they had not managed to get in. While they were waiting outside, they came across the assault and were quickly frightened off.

"Mom, Nicole is still inside. What should we do?"

"Yes, Mom. There were a lot of people attacking the Johnston Group. Let's think of a solution!"

It was hard enough for them to escape and return home, and they had no clue as to what had happened after they had left.

When Gloria heard about this, she almost fainted out of shock. "Daniel, what should we do? Please think of a way..."

At that moment, Daniel was also flustered. Throughout his life, he had never witnessed a gunfight. The last time Nicole took out a handgun, he was already terrified, and this time around, Nicole was actually met with armed people...

"Let's lodge a police report first. Then, gather all our guards. We'll try and save Nicole!"

They thought that, perhaps after they had reached the scene, they could help Nicole out as well.

"Alright, I'll call them immediately," Sean said with a stern look on his face, ready for a fight.

Steve added, "I want to follow!"

"Me too." Stanley was persistent.

Samuel and Spencer were still in shock, but when they saw their elder brothers getting into the action, they gritted their teeth, "We'll come along and protect Nicole!"

When Nicole heard her bunch of brothers wanting to save her in spite of the fact that she was totally unharmed, she began to think they were being ridiculous, though she was touched as well. "It's okay. I'm fine."

Hearing Nicole's voice, everyone turned their head around.

"Nicole!"

"You're back!"

"Nicole!" As soon as Gloria saw Nicole, she immediately rushed over to check on her. "Did you get hurt?"

Seeing her own mother's caring gaze, Nicole comforted her, "I'm fine. We quickly hid and the police managed to arrive on time. Thanks to that, our enemies had retreated."

"Retreated?" Daniel asked. "They did not manage to catch any of them?"

Nicole issued a quiet sigh. 'How are your run off the mill policemen supposed to capture those from The Raven?'

"They seemed to be prepared for this, so we could not catch them," she said.

Registering the exhaustion in Nicole's face, Sean made Nicole sit down and poured her a glass of water. "Who are those people? Why did they attack the Johnston Group?"

Without hiding anything, Nicole said. "Today's press conference is for the manned flying car. Perhaps, someone has been eyeing on this technology."

"What?"
