Chapter 424 Jonathan Was Captured
"Sir, I just want to come up the mountain to gather a medicinal herb to save a life, and I have no other purpose. This herb is right here. Can I leave after I find it? I won't disturb you," Victoria said.
"No, leave now!" Jonathan's tone was firm.
"Sir, saving a life is a good deed. I'll leave as soon as I gather the herb. Besides, you're in the dark, and I wouldn't dare do anything, right?" Victoria continued.
"If you're not at ease, you can have someone watch me. I promise to leave as soon as I gather the herb. I won't disturb your business, nor will I tell anyone you're here," she added.
Jonathan and his team didn't expect her to be so talkative. She stood there alone, saying a lot without stopping.
Her stance was that she wouldn't give up until she achieved her goal.
"Mr. Morris, if she doesn't leave soon, she will really affect us."
Jonathan narrowed his eyes slightly. "Continue hiding yourselves. I'll go out," he said.
Victoria stood there, her ears twitched slightly, and with her head slightly lowered, a strange smile flashed in her eyes.
When she saw Jonathan in camouflage appear behind her, she was indeed a bit surprised.
When she saw Jonathan in full camouflage appear behind her, she was indeed a bit surprised. The insignia on their shoulders didn't look like those of mercenaries.And why did that insignia look so familiar? She felt like she had seen that pattern somewhere before or heard someone mention it.
"You've got ten minutes. Get out of here by then," Jonathan said firmly, not wasting a single word.
Victoria replied, "Okay, thank you, sir."
After speaking, she pretended to search around for the so-called "life-saving herb."
As she searched, she seemed to step on something and suddenly fell forward into a pile of tall grass, letting out a cry.
Jonathan watched her fall not far in front of him.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to go over and take a look.
The teammates in the dark also became more alert.
For them, being on high alert was a normal thing.
When Victoria fell, no one noticed the cunning look in her eyes.
Jonathan came to her and saw her lying on the ground with her eyes closed, motionless.
He frowned slightly. Had she fainted?
He put away his gun, squatted down slightly, and reached out to pat her shoulder. "Wake up. You..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Victoria, who he thought had fainted, suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed his wrist with a reverse grip.
He didn't know what she pressed on his hand, but his right hand instantly lost strength, causing intense pain, and his whole body seemed to be paralyzed for a moment.
Jonathan didn't see her movements clearly, but he was already pinned to the ground by her.
And she was very strong. He, a 6-foot-2-inch tall man who trained regularly, was pinned to the ground by a woman and couldn't move.
Victoria twisted his arm behind his back and somehow took his gun from his waist, pressing the muzzle against his waist.
The people in the dark couldn't see what happened after Jonathan squatted down, as the grass pile blocked their view.
"Don't move!" Victoria's cold and stern voice came from behind him.
This voice was completely different from the soft voice earlier.
At this moment, Jonathan knew he had been tricked.
He had never failed before, and now he failed against a seemingly weak woman. It was extremely embarrassing to say the least.
At first, he thought she looked sweet and innocent, and there was no way she could be a liar. But who knew?
Victoria found a rope on him and tied his hands behind his back.
"I mean no harm to you. I'm in a hurry to leave. Once I leave, I'll let you go." Her cold voice sounded again.
Jonathan moved his hands tied behind his back and found that the more he moved, the tighter it got.
She glanced at him and sincerely reminded him, "I advise you not to move. This kind of knot can't be untied without a second person helping, and the more you move, the tighter it gets."
Hearing her words, Jonathan's face under the camouflage paint became increasingly grim.
"Alright, get up." Victoria clapped her hands and pulled him up from the ground.
The people in the dark saw them stand up together and then saw Jonathan's hands tied behind his back.
What was going on?
Then they heard Victoria say, "He is temporarily my captive."
Her tone sounded very arrogant.
"I know you must have snipers here." Victoria said calmly and unhurriedly, "But I don't know if your bullets are faster or mine."
She held a gun pointed at Jonathan's heart.
The sniper who was about to move didn't dare to move.
Victoria added, "I'm just passing through, and I'm in a hurry. Let me leave, and I'll naturally let him go once I'm safe. And you can't follow! I won't harm him."
Who would have thought they would fail against a woman?
For the members of Shadow Reapers Two, this was a disgrace.
But they had a principle, never abandon any teammate, and the one tied up was their captain.
So, they had no choice but to let her go.
Victoria successfully escaped.
As soon as Victoria left with Jonathan as a hostage, the team in the dark immediately reported the situation to their superiors.
"What did you say? Jonathan was captured?" Gideon exclaimed in disbelief.
