EPISODE 120
Front part of the ship was still half sinking, just the way their hopes were. No word was spoken but suddenly all of their eyes were moist, knowing they had committed a grave mistake, which maybe was uncompensable.
“We should first move to the shore and quickly shift Miss Nicole and Master Joel to a safer place. After that we can immediately come back and search for Master Victor.” One of the men said, knowing he couldn’t just give up this easily.
“We will have to inform Boss Markus first. Seven ships are heading our way. We can definitely not act according to our will.” The captain said, thinking rationally.
Yes, even the captain felt that he should return by now and search for Victor, but he had no way out. Looking at those enemy ships closing in, informing Markus about their current status was the best thing to do.
And all of them nodded in unison, knowing they needed to inform Markus about Victor’s situation and then act accordingly, even when somewhere deep down they felt that this was wrong.
*MARKUS’s TEAM*
“Boss, we have an update from Master Victor’s team.” One of the men informed Markus, who was about to ask for Victor’s situation.
“What is it?” Markus asked, wanting to know if all of them were safe.
“Boss, Miss Nicole and Master Joel have been safely shifted to the shore along with rest of the team…” the man was still speaking when Markus instantly caught up on the main point.
“What about Victor?” Markus asked almost instantly, not knowing why they would omit Victor’s name while updating him.
“Master Victor is nowhere to be seen. The lifeboat had less capacity and Master Victor asked the rest of them to leave, saying he would join them from behind. But as soon as they were down in the lifeboat, a safe distance away from the ship, waiting for Victor to come out, the ship exploded and sank. Currently we have no news on Master Victor.” The man informed, while Markus stopped talking, nobody knew what was going inside his mind.
With another pause, the man continued.
“Boss, Master Victor’s team is waiting for your orders to act accordingly. Should they stay at the shore for defence or move inside?” The man asked, knowing how important it was to convey every single word from the other side.
“Ask them to move inside. They alone won’t be enough to battle the person who is arriving.” Markus said, knowing that without Victor’s support, the team wasn’t in any condition to face their enemy, that too without knowing their men and weapon count.
“Yes boss.” The man replied curtly before conveying the same to the team on shore.
“What should we do about Victor?” Andrew asked in a low voice, immediately after the man left.
“I guess we need a change of plans.” Markus said, his voice hiding no intentions of killing everyone without failure now.
“What do you mean?” Andrew asked with a raised eyebrow.
“From what I can deduce, we are already halfway through the palace, which means done with at least 40-50% of their defence. Professor is simply luring us all inside his den and then calling for allies to close all the doors and attack us from behind as well. Which means we would be trapped from both sides. Why walk right into his trap then?” Markus said, as if signalling towards something.
“You want to leave this now? Are you sure?” Andrew asked, not quite understanding Markus’s sudden plan change.
“Look, we will start moving backwards, towards the shore. Anyways the team there is at their weakest now. We will leave this place and go help them. Instead of walking into that psycho’s trap, let’s lure him out in the open and fight. Who knows what kind of poisons await us if we were to go inside.
Instead let’s take him to his weaker side, out in the open. What do you think?” Markus asked, finally explaining everything that was on his mind.
“I get this. But what if his men attack us from behind while we are moving out?” Andrew asked instantly.
“We won’t be leaving our backs open for attack like last time. Let’s not repeat the same mistake again.” Markus said, his voice a little cold after thinking about those seven ships that would have attacked their sole ship.
“Fine. We can follow this. Ask your teams to move out first as that would give you all a breather. Our team will be the last one to move while keeping a watch on our backs.” Andrew suggested, knowing that Markus and his teams had taken severe blows as compared to them.
Markus nodded, approving of Andrews statement. Some of his men were severely injured and needed a little rest. Simply moving out without much of an attack would give them enough time to stand back strong, which was much needed at the moment.
With that, the teams, opposite to Professor’s expectations, reversed their route.
*JASON’s TEAM*
Jason’s team was taking a small breather before moving ahead, when they were suddenly informed about Victor’s disappearance.
“Jason, look, the second brother is missing. We don’t have any exact information on him. And no news is always good news. Second brother isn’t stupid enough to leave this battle and sacrifice his life unnecessarily by remaining on that ship. We just don’t know where he is. So till then, let’s consider that he is somewhere safe. As you said, we can not risk wasting time.” This time Rose was quick to speak up, knowing Jason shouldn’t be affected by all this news as it would only land their lives in danger and nothing else.
Jason listened to Rose before nodding, understanding what Rose was implanting.
“Enough of a breather. Time to barge in and attack.” Jason said in a low voice, filled with nothing but a single motto of ending this for once and all.
But before they could take another step, they had news from Markus’s side.
Jason’s team was informed about Markus’s sudden plan change. Jason knew that Markus did this on purpose to let him know what he was upto so that he could make necessary changes to his own plans.
Jason and the members exchanged glances, all of them reconsidering their plans.
“I think this would be the best time to rescue second sister. If triggered, that psycho would definitely leave his place and go behind Markus and his teams to fight.” Harry said excitedly.
“Yes but if that psycho was to go berserk he might go and stay with second sister. Reversing our entire plans.” Rose said, reminding once again that the Professor wasn’t the one to go by book rules.
You could never predict what was on his mind.
“Let’s take cover and stay here for 1-2 minutes. Professor would surely take some action within this time frame. If there is some movement on this side, we are to leave this place as fast as possible and join hands with Markus. We then can first fight the boundaries and enter together again if that is what the situation asks for. After all, staying here in that situation would simply mean giving up on our own lives.” Jason said and paused, waiting for his members reaction to which he received approval.
“Secondly if we are lucky enough, that is, if the professor goes for Markus and not Diamond, we can barge inside with our teams, taking them by surprise and utilising that to rescue her. So let’s stay low for a minute. We would surely get signals about our next stance.” Jason said, planning calmly knowing that Markus’s sudden actions would definitely receive some sort of movement from the Professor’s side.
*KIZY*
All this time, Kizy was racking her brains to come with some sort of plan but no plan she formed was good enough to execute. Each of them involved some or the other actions, risky for her and the baby. Hence at the end she had to give up on all those plans.
Just as she was thinking some more, she felt nauseous again, vomiting her guts which were already emptied by now.
Sia, standing on the sidelines, was a little worried about the situation. Kizy was already a little pale by now with beads of perspiration covering her forehead.
If Kizy was to continue her stubborn attitude and not eat anything, she was sure to go weak and dehydrate herself. Plus with Kizy’s refusal for treatment it would be difficult to keep her on IV for hydration as Kizy in no way would allow them to insert the Intracath or any other instrument needed for the same.
Kizy drank only a sip of water to rinse her mouth, but never drank it.
“Miss Hazel, you should be taking some liquid diet in the least to keep your baby healthy. At this rate you are only going to dehydrate yourself which won’t be good for the baby.” Sia said as calmly as she could.
“I don’t trust anything that comes from that psycho. I can not risk mine or my baby’s life because of his stupidity.” Kizy purposefully said in all arrogance, knowing how loyal Sia was to the Professor.
Sia took a deep breath to calm herself down as Kizy’s statement were angering her to no end.
“Miss Hazel, I have already told you that the Professor would never even dream of hurting you. For your sake, I can have a sip or bite of anything you want to have.” Sia said, trying hard not to scold Kizy for her rude statements against the Professor.
“You all are similar to that maniac. He has made all of you immune to his deadly poisons and drugs. But that’s not the same for me. Me nor my baby are guinea pigs like you all. I don’t trust anyone out of you!” Kizy said, intensifying her tone, knowing she now had an opportunity at her hands.
“You! What do you mean? Professor has never cared about anyone as much as he does for you. How dare you accuse him for something he would never dare to do!” Sia said, finally losing her calm.
“Yeah. That’s the reason he has held me captive. Sure he CARES for me a lot!” Kizy said in a mocking tone, smirking at the end, driving Sia mad to no end.
“You!!” Sia said while coming next to Kizy, about to take some actions when the captain stopped her in time.
“Miss Sia, you have been sent here only to monitor her health. Don’t take actions that are beyond your rights!” The captain scolded, irritated by Sia’s continuous outrageous behaviour.
Yes, all of them were loyal to the Professor, but he could see that what Sia had for the professor was insane.
“How dare you nobody remind me of my rights! You all are nothing but Sh|ts who are being raised because of the Professor’s generosity!” Sia spouted, completely out of her mind by now.
Captain finally lost it and came next to Sia, which was very near to Kizy, slapping Sia hard.
“Don’t cross your boundaries.” The captain said through clenched teeth, holding himself back.
“You-” Before Sia could take some action, something unexpected happened.
Kizy quickly took out the poison blades that the captain was carrying, her actions taking everyone by surprise.
But what happened next shocked them all to the core because they knew that if the Professor was to know what was happening here, he would in no way spare even a single person present at the scene.
“Miss Hazel, drop that blade. It is not some ordinary blade. It’s a poisonous blade. Not something you can simply play with. Give it back.” The captain said in as calm and consoling of a voice as possible, knowing he lost it the moment he fell for Kizy’s trap and lowered his guards around her while paying attention to that stupid Sia.
All the guards were terrified to the core, and why won’t they be?
Because instead of snatching the poisonous blade and attacking either the captain or Sia, Kizy had directed the blade towards herself.
Yes Kizy was smart enough to know that attacking or even injuring any men from the Professor’s side would do no good as they were never short on men ready for dying.
But what she knew the best was the Professor won’t let even a single person out of them breathe if Miss Hazel was to get even a single minor scratch.
Hence Kizy sudden stunt of scaring all those men by placing it exactly on her neck was successful beyond her imagination.
“Dare anyone take even a single step near me. You both go back 10 steps.” Kizy said coolly while looking at Sia and the Captain.
