Chapter 824


    Chapter 824 Danger Looms


    Arius had always believed in Sophie, so he nodded in response.


    “All right, I got it. Then I will be standing guard outside here. Be careful.” The situation out there was


    really chaotic.


    He was worried that someone might dash in. That was why he stood guard outside.


    In the meantime, it was also just as chaotic outside Nichs'' mansion. Butterfly took a look and


    realized that was her best chance to get away.


    Since no one had time for her, Butterfly sneaked out of the mansion and hoped no one would notice.


    Butterfly was very happy when she reached the main door without anyone noticing her! In the end,


    Nichs appeared and blocked her way.


    “Ms. Sekelsky, where do you think you are going? Given the messy situation out there, where can you


    go to?”


    She could only stay safe by staying there.


    Nichs'' mansion was the safest ce. No one dared to charge in.


    Butterfly smiled as she nced at Nichs.


    “No, I wasn''t going anywhere. I was too cooped up in the house, so I decided to take a walk and get


    some fresh air,” said Butterfly calmly.


    “Ha! I can''t believe you are still in the mood for that, Ms. Sekelsky.” Isn''t she aware of the danger that


    looms outside?


    There were riots going on everywhere in Anndur. Even the president could not subdue the ongoing


    turmoil.


    There were bloodshed and crimes happening everywhere.


    Nichs grabbed hold of Butterfly''s cor and dragged her back to the mansion.


    “Nichs, what are you doing? Sophie is still at the International Medical Association with all these


    going on! How can I leave her there all by herself? I have to go there and protect her.”


    She saw on the news that the crowd was attacking the International Medical Association too. Sophie


    was capable, but at a time like that, she would be more focused on her research. Someone needed to


    be there by her side.


    “You are so good to Sophie.”


    “Of course. Sophie is my best friend. Of course, I''m nice to her!”


    What a joke! Both women had gone through life-and-death situations together in the past. That was


    why they were so close.


    Just then, they heard the sounds of a helicopter and saw one flying above them.


    Nichs knew something was amiss.


    True enough, the moment the helicopter flew lower, someone started shooting at them.


    “Holy crap! These people are so daring that they dare to attack me in my own house.” Nichs was


    enraged.


    Nevertheless, in the most dangerous moment, he still pulled Butterfly into his arms and shielded her


    from the bullets.


    Butterfly knew that things were about to get worse.


    However, she genuinely did not expect Nichs to shield her from the attack.


    “Nichs, are you all right?”


    Just then, Richard rushed out with the others, and they began to fire at the helicopter.


    It was only then that the helicopter flew away.


    Richard ran over to Nichs. Upon seeing his pale face, Richard knew that Nichs had been injured.


    “Boss, where are you hurt? I''ll get the doctor right away.” Richard immediately ordered his subordinates


    to call for a doctor.


    Nichs pressed his hand on his wound.


    “I''m fine, Ms. Sekelsky. You better go in! You have seen with your own eyes how bad the situation is in


    Anndur. It''s too dangerous for you to go anywhere!”


    Nichs got hurt because of her, and she felt bad if she left now.


    Instead, Butterfly carried him into the house by herself.


    Nichs had been shot. If it were not for Nichs, she would have been the one who got shot.


    “Nichs, you—”


    Butterfly knew that he was not in any danger, but she was still worried about him. After all, he got hurt


    because of her.


    “Richard, get two men to stay with Ms. Sekelsky to protect her.” At a time like that, Nichs was still


    worried about Butterfly.


    She was a friend of Sophie''s. Since she was Sophie''s friend, he could not sit back and watch her get


    hurt.


    “Understood, Boss. Don''t worry!” Richard looked at Butterfly and was speechless.


    Doesn''t she know about the situation out there? I can''t believe she was running all over the ce. If


    she hadn''t done that, Boss wouldn''t have gotten injured.


    Why are women so troublesome?


    It''s fine that they can''t be of any help in times of trouble. Yet, they manage to cause trouble for others.


    Butterfly could not bother to argue with Richard even though she knew what he was getting at. Earlier


    on, she did want to leave.


    “You guys leave! I need some alone time!” In actual fact, Nichs was nning to go and look for


    Sophie.

    The International Medical Association was a target, and not every one of the rioters was from


    Anndur. At a chaotic time like that, there would be people who were there to make trouble.


    After all, not every country hoped that Anndur would get over the current dangerous situation.


    The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He got up from the couch and prepared


    to walk out when Richard saw and stopped him.


    “Boss, you are hurt. It''s too dangerous for you to go out there. If there''s anything, I can do it for you.”


    During a time like that, it would be better for Nichs to rest there.


    “I''m fine. Don''t worry about me.”


    Butterfly was also outside. When she saw him walking out, she stopped him too.


    “Nichs, it''s best that you stay right here. You said so yourself. It''s dangerous out there.”


    Nichs narrowed his eyes.


    “What are all of you trying to do? Are you trying to order me around? Since when do I need your


    approval to go out?”


    Butterfly grabbed his hand and stopped him from walking outside.


    “Nichs, don''t go outside.”


    He broke free of her grip.


    “Butterfly, I treat you well because you are a friend of Sophie''s. Please don''t have any other ideas. I


    won''t fall for you.” Nichs was very direct.


    Butterfly was so angry that she burst outughing.


    “What are you talking about? Do you think I like you? You must be dreaming! I just don''t want you to


    lose your life after you saved mine! That''s all!”


    Like him? I''m not blind yet.


    “That''s good, then. Let me tell you something. I know I''m very good-looking, but please don''t fall for


    me. Nothing wille out of it!”


    It is a very painful thing to love someone who will never love you back. He did not want her to suffer the


    same fate too.


    Nichs insisted on going out.


    Richard had no choice but to order more men to go with them. Safety was more important at a time like


    that.


    “Since all of you are going, I want to go too.” Butterfly knew that no one in the world could stop


    Nichs.


    He gave her a stare.


    “Why are youing with us? Don''t you know how dangerous it is out there?”


    “I know! But Sophie is there. No matter what, I have to be there.” Given their prior rtionship, there


    was no way she would stay in Nichs'' mansion.


    Nichs was envious of Sophie.


    “Butterfly, I won''t bully you anymore in the future. You are such a good friend of Sophie''s.” Sophie was


    very lucky to have such a good friend like her.
