Chapter 797 A Successful Rescue Mission
Suddenly, he felt that everything went black in front of him, then fell down directly.
Along with him, Emmeline fell to the ground as well.
After all, she was still seriously injured. After falling to the ground, she stumbled and rolled down the steps.
At that moment, Emmeline only protected her head, but her body was hitting on the stone steps heavily. She felt an excruciating pain to the point where she was about to collapse.
However, in the face of the enemy, even if it hurt, she did not dare to linger for a moment. Suppressing the pain, she immediately got up and ran in another direction.
Little did she know that even though they were in the middle of a fight, they were still looking at her from the corner of their eyes.
Seeing that she was about to make a run, two of them kicked away the people in front of them and chased after her in spite of everything.
At that moment, Emmeline had completely exhausted her energy.
No matter how good her combat skills were, after the car crash and falling into the river, she was already in a trance at that moment.
While experiencing the pain in her chest and stomach, she knew that she might have suffered internal injuries. Hence, her resistance was solely based on her willpower.
But how long could she hold on? She was not sure.
The two people behind her were getting closer.
It was as if they would go out of their way in order to catch her.
As Emmeline trembled, she secretly pulled out her dagger that had been hidden at her waist. Fortunately, in order to save time, those people did not have the time to search her body after rescuing her.
Therefore, her belongings were still there.
When she touched the dagger, she felt relieved.
Feeling the strong gust of wind behind her, she didn't think twice as she turned around and waved her dagger at the two men.
However, at this moment, something happened.
Someone was faster than her. Rushing out and sliding in from the side, the person was able to block the two people.
The man had his back turned to her, and his attack was so fast that everything became a blur. In just two moves, he managed to take down two of them, kicking them one after another as their body rolled down the steep stairs.
Seeing that, Emmeline was slightly stunned.
The next second, when she saw the person turning around to grab her, her heart tightened. On reflex, she waved her dagger and slashed the person in front of her. No matter what, she couldn't let herself fall into the hands of the enemy even if she had to die.
However, the man's movement was very agile and quick. Before she could react, her wrist was already held tightly by him.
Shocked, she knew that because of her injury, her reaction was not as fast as before.
Therefore, the only thing she could do was to raise her legs and kick the opponent.
But the opponent was able to catch her. The sun was blazing fiercely in the afternoon, and everything before her eyes was in a blur. She felt dizzy and weak, barely supporting herself with her willpower.
While she couldn't even see the man's appearance clearly, she was only resisting him like a robot. After just a few moves, her entire body was controlled by him.
Then, she instinctively slammed her head into his. At that moment, she suddenly heard a deep and familiar voice.
"Enough! Emmeline, it's me."
Suddenly, Emmeline was stunned.
At that moment, her body froze.
Looking up in a daze, she saw the tall and indifferent man in front of her. The sun shone through the gap between the leaves and blinded her eyes, but at that moment, she could clearly see the chiseled jawline and the facial features of the man in front of her.
"Jara?"
Why was he here?
But she was unable to finish the rest of her words.
Suddenly, her vision went black. She couldn't hold on any longer as she fainted.
Subsequently, Jara took Emmeline back to the castle.
And along with her, were the criminals who kidnapped her.
There were a total of six people, and two of them died on the spot. Under Jara's order, the rest were all captured alive and were now locked up in the castle with guards guarding them. That way, he would be able to interrogate them when he was free.
Meanwhile, Emmeline was awakened by the pain.
In pain, she felt as if she had been run over by a few trucks at the same time; as if her bones had been ripped off and reassembled.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the clean and white ceiling.
Above her head was a delicate chandelier gently swaying before her eyes. It looked a little familiar but also a little foreign.
This was...
The memory before fainting came flooding into her mind. She slightly tilted her head, and as expected, she saw a familiar figure standing beside her.
At this point, it was already noon the next day.
She had been in a coma for a whole day. After the doctor's examination, she found that in addition to the head injury, several ribs were also injured, and there were ligament injuries on her feet, other than that, she was fine.
The injury wasn't too serious, but it wasn't light either.
One slight move and she felt a sharp pain in her body, and she couldn't help but let out a cry.
Upon hearing that, Jara turned around.
At that moment, the sun was shining bright outside. Even though the curtains were open, the thin white sheer curtain was closed.
Therefore, when the sunlight shone through the white sheer curtain into the room, it looked warm and gentle. And as the light cast on Jara, his cold temperament softened a little.
Then, he came over and stood at the bedside, looking at her, and said, "Are you okay."
In reponse, Emmeline nodded.
When she saw him again now, she had mixed feelings.
No matter what, she never thought that after everything she been through, she would end up by his side again.
Meanwhile, Jara was probably thinking the same thing as the corner of his lips curled up into a cold sneer, and said, "Do you know who are those people who kidnapped you?"
When she heard that, she was a little confused.
Following that, she shook her head.
Then, Jara tossed a stack of documents in front of her.
"I came up with it after the interrogation last night. Take a look at it yourself."
Seeing the stack of documents, Emmeline was stunned.
Automatically, she raised her hand to pick up the files.
There were a lot of bruises on her arms, which were caused by lying on the head of the car in order to control the car.
At the moment, both her arms and palms were wrapped in thick bandages, which made them look like a bear's paws. It was actually quite funny to look at.
In this manner, it was naturally very difficult to flip open the thin sheet of paper.
Therefore, although she managed to bring the files over, she failed to flip the pages no matter how hard she tried.
Seeing that, Jara probably didn't expect her to act like this either. Stunned, he walked over thinking it was quite funny. Then, he proceeded to place the files directly in front of her and flip it open.
Seeing that, Emmeline was a little embarrassed.
However, at this time, it was obviously not the time to save face, so she began reading at the page that he had opened.
While she read, Jara paid attention to her gaze the entire time. He waited for her to finish reading the first page before helping her to turn to another page.
With his help, Emmeline was able to finish reading everything.
After that, she was left with a heavy heart.
She would never have imagined that those people whom she regarded as siblings would not let go of her even after they betrayed her and defected to the Icarus Association.
Even after four years, they still wanted her dead.
Why?
Emmeline was a little confused.
Logically speaking, they were only using her to provoke the dispute between Salvation Club and Lost Vanguard, and they had long been bought by the Icarus Association. When everything was settled, they could retire.
