    Twenty minutes earlier, Han had called her, asking if she wanted to apany him to Oldfort,


    stating that he was heading there immediately because Marcus had yet returned.


    “Please fasten your seatbelt first. He encountered a group of assassins in Oldfort. I’m going to check


    on him.”


    Millie’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this rming news.


    “Then drive as fast as you can. I’m ready.”


    Han maneuvered his jeep like a leopard, swiftly navigating the nighttime roads.


    After a while, something urred to Millie.


    “Won’t I just be a burden to him?”


    Given herck ofbat skills and physical strength, Millie couldn’t help but fret about the possibility of


    bing a liability to Marcus.


    “It’s alright. We’ll take good care of you,” Han assured her, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.


    Even though Han had reassured her, Millie couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that something was


    amiss.

    Nheless, her paramount concern was to reunite with Marcus.


    And that was even if it meant enduring any hardships or bullets with him.


    Back at the forest, after a fierce battle, half of Ryan’s men had been lost, prompting him to order a


    temporary break.


    By the dim light of the room’s fire, Marcus took off his coat and asked Trenton to rebandage his injured


    arm.


    Observing Marcus’s arm continuing to bleed, Shera, concerned about his profusely bleeding arm,


    eximed, “This is serious. You need to see a doctor right away. If it continues like this, it could be


    fatal.”


    Trenton, tearing a piece of cloth from his coat, spared Shera a nce and used it to bind Marcus’s


    wound.


    “If we can find a doctor, we will. But right now, we’re trapped. They have us surrounded.”


    With the number of enemies outside, their only option was to take shelter in the room.


    Shera understood the dire situation and fell silent.


    Marcus examined his gun, discovering only two bullets left in the magazine.


    He frowned with concern. Trenton checked his gun, finding just one bullet remaining.


    Retrieving his phone, Marcus noticed that it had limited battery life. He gazed at a picture of Millie on


    the screen, which sent his emotions swirling.


    He knew the odds were stacked against them.
