Chapter 733


    Nicole’s eyes brightened.


    Right! The Michel Group has control over Africa’s minerals, ammunition, and runs thergest bio-


    pharmaceuticalpany in Africa! They might have discovered the cure for Virs-18!


    I just won the Academy Award for the Best Actressst year and have gained some fame internationally.


    They might help me!


    “You can leave. I won’t leave her here,” Nicole told her team after she had made up her mind.


    She then left with Sophia, ignoring her assistant and team’s anxious pleas.


    The helicopter they rented was still parked on the square, and she knew how to fly it. It’s around a


    thousand miles from here to the Michel Group. It won’t take long…


    Nicole helped Sophia onto the helicopter resolutely and helped fasten her seatbelt.


    Sophia’s eyes were half closed, and tears fell from the corner of her eyes.


    Nicole could hear her soft whispers between her lips. “Why bother…”She didn’t know Nicole, but she


    could figure out that they might have used to be best friends.


    Why bother saving me and sacrificing yourself when you have the chance to leave?


    Nicole didn’t answer her. People who were infected by Virs-18 would soon die in endless torture and


    pain, so time was precious. She had to make it to the Michel Group as soon as possible and find her the


    cure.


    The helicopter took off soon. Nicole saw the evacuating bus leaving the town toward the harbor, and the


    battleship would leave real soon. Meanwhile, she could only stay in the midst of this turmoil…


    But she didn’t regret it!


    Sophia had saved her once, and it was time to pay her back.


    She was the winner of the Best Actress of the Academy Award and had earned enough money. The


    orphanage and her sister’s life were guaranteed too. She had no regrets!


    The journey to the Michel Group was dangerous. The war-riddennd was full of danger, and there were


    shots fired everywhere. A helicopter passing by might get shot down anytime.


    Sophia was half awake on the way. Her throat and nose were burning so much that she couldn’t speak


    anymore. Her throat felt as if it was being cut when she tried to speak.


    Her wounds were ulcerating, while pus and blood were flowing out from her wound. Her body was


    swelling up, and her entire body would soon ulcerate until she became a lump of rotten meat. She would


    then die in great torture and pain.


    Her body had almost ulceratedpletely by the time they were near the Michel Group’s building. Flies


    were flying around her, and she was holding onto herst breath. It felt as if she would copse anytime.


    How can I die when someone sacrificed herself to save me?


    Nicole could see a huge castle when the helicopter was still flying in midair. The castle was tall with thick


    walls, and there was a small town surrounding it. It stood there like a mighty dragon that was lurking


    under the war in Africa. One could feel its majestic grandeur before walking in.


    It was the Michel Group’s branch in Africa.


    The Michel Group controlled almost half of the African economy. They had control over the minerals and


    ammunition, and they even ran the top bio-pharmaceuticalpany in the world.


    There was a fierce fight near Michel Castle. Forces in Africa were tempted to get the Virs-18 cure as they


    learned that the Michel Group might have developed one. Getting the cure meant holding power in their


    hands, and it meant having control over all African countries.


    All these overconfident powers were therefore trying to take over this major force lying in Africa.


    However, they forgot that the Michel Group was running the secondrgest ammunition dealership in the


    world.


    There had been multiple forces that came attacking, but they were all defeated.


    Nicole parked the helicopter nearby. They would probably be shot down before they reached the Michel


    Group if they just flew over without notice.


    She stopped the helicopter in an empty town, found a car, and carried Sophia in.


    It had just been a few hours, but Sophia’s appearance had changedpletely—her entire body was


    swollen, and the area of ulceration had increased twofold. She looked like a decaying corpse.


    Her temperature was shockingly low. Nicole carried her into the car and identally touched her open


    wounds. Her hands were covered in blood as she touched her; her fragile skin couldn’t handle any


    touches.


    Looking at the blood in her hands, Nicole burst out into tears out of despair.


    Time was ticking, and she had to find a cure as soon as possible.


    Sophia woke up in pain. She had herst bit of consciousness and felt as if she was burning; even her


    soul was in pain.


    “L-Leave m-me…” Sophia tried to speak, but her throat wouldn’t allow her to speak. She could feel the


    taste of iron in her mouth as she opened her mouth.


    The Cethosian battleship shouldn’t be far. Nicole figured she could probably make it to them with the


    helicopter if she left alone.


    “We’ll leave together!” Nicole wiped off her tears and looked for the car key.


    She thought she was at the edge of breaking down, but herst bit of determination was keeping her


    rational.


    Just then, Sophia, who was sitting on the passenger seat, took her amulet down from her neck forcefully.


    She then gave it to Nicole with her shaking hands.


    Nicole took over the amulet, which was covered with her body temperature, pus, and blood.


    The amulet was made up of obsidian stone and was carved into the shape of the God of Mercy. There


    were words carved on the back of it. Nicole recognized the amulet; Sophia always had it with her.


    She could feel the words carved at the back—Cooper Mitchell.


    Cooper Mitchell… It was the man who was in Nicole’s memory deep down. Although they had only met


    twice, she still couldn’t forget him even after over a decade.

    “Keep your own belongings,” Nicole started the car as she said.


    “No…” Sophia shook her head difficultly.


    She couldn’t say anything else after the ‘no’.


    She couldn’t remember who she was, and the amulet was the only thing left on her. She didn’t know who


    Cooper was and what rtionship they had. All these didn’t seem to matter before death…


    She had to give it to Nicole. Nicole must know where she was from, her family, and who Cooper Mitchell


    was.


    Her family and Cooper might learn her situation after seeing this amulet.


    She slowly closed her eyes as she felt as if she were in a sea of fire. Getting numb from the pain, she


    seemed to see that faceless man walking toward her from the fire.


    Who is he? Quinton?


    Nicole wiped off her tears, took Sophia’s amulet, and drove toward Michel Castle with the fastest speed.


    A fight just ended right outside of the castle. Another force just came and tried to take down Michel


    Castle, but they forgot that their ammunition was bought from the Michel Group.


    The result was a clear defeat.


    It was scorched earth everywhere outside the castle—burnt marks, bullet cases, and burnt corpses were


    scattered everywhere.
