Chapter 1864: Uprooting the Weeds

"Vicki, are you okay?" Felix's voice was weak as he struggled to ask.

Vicki turned around from Felix's body and held onto his shoulders tightly. "I'm fine, what about you? Let me see the spot where the shoulder was stabbed."

Surrounded by smoke that was slow to dissipate, Vicki could barely make out Felix. She reached out and felt a sticky liquid on his shoulder. With her experience, she immediately knew he had lost a lot of blood. Though it didn't hit an artery, it definitely injured a vein.

"You have to stop the bleeding, otherwise excessive blood loss can be dangerous," Vicki said as she took off her jacket and then removed a thin layer of her shirt. With a tearing sound, she ripped it into strips of cloth.

"I'm fine. Finding Seren is more important," Felix sat up and embraced Vicki. "As long as you're okay, I was getting worried sick. I didn't expect you had already untied yourself."

Vicki retorted, "You think so little of me, don't trust my abilities? I gave you a signal, but you couldn't understand. Of course, I wasn't being controlled, otherwise my expression..."

She suddenly stopped talking, as if her expression hadn't changed much. No wonder Felix couldn't understand her meaning.

"Never mind. How could you be so foolish as to reveal the network key to him? Did you think that once he got the money, he would spare all of us?" Vicki complained.

"Of course, I knew that, so I didn't unlock it. On the contrary, I added another lock. Seren didn't notice it, he was too impatient, and that's why he wanted to kill me on the spot," Felix explained.

"You have a brain, I'll give you that," Vicki said while wrapping Felix's shoulder with the strips of cloth, layer after layer, tightly securing it, and finally tying a knot.

"Alright."

After doing this, the white smoke from the smoke bomb gradually dissipated, and the situation in the hall became visible.

People from both sides were engaged in a chaotic battle.

In the smoke, they had been tearing at each other, relying solely on their senses without knowing who the other side was. Occasionally, they made mistakes and accidentally injured their own people. Once the smoke cleared, they quickly separated and continued attacking each other.

Luther finally found Vicki and Felix, when suddenly someone launched an attack on him. He frowned, kicked out with force, and sent the assailant flying with a powerful kick. Then, someone else rushed towards him, but he casually waved his hand, pushing the other person away, and headed straight for Felix.

"Vicki, Felix, are you both okay? Felix, is your injury serious?" Luther asked anxiously.

At that moment, a black-clad person planned to attack Vicki. Sneaking up from behind, he held a short knife and aimed it at the back of Vicki's head.

Felix noticed it sharply and quickly got up, executing a beautiful spinning kick that sent the knife flying out of the black-clad person's hand. Meanwhile, another black-clad person who rushed forward was knocked down by Vicki with a few punches and couldn't get up again. Luther looked around in the midst of the chaos and asked, "Did any of you see Seren? I haven't seen him anywhere."

Vicki also glanced around in secret and coldly said, "Seren is extremely cunning. After planning for so many years, he won't give up easily. I don't know what tricks he still has up his sleeve. But for now, he must have retreated."

"Are you worried that he'll seek reinforcements? Judging from the situation here, it's clear that we have the upper hand, and all the hostages are safe. It won't be long before Mr. Ball and Mr. Warner's men take control of this place," Felix said. "What else can he do? If he wants to escape Khebury, I'll immediately order a lockdown on all the docks and airports, ensuring that not even a fly can get out."

"Based on what I know about how Seren operates, although I don't know who he might seek for reinforcements, I know he won't give up without a fight. Today, no matter what we have to do, we must uproot the weeds completely. Otherwise, we'll have endless troubles," Vicki's eyebrows were twisted almost into a knot.

After so many years, they had finally gotten another chance.

They couldn't let Seren escape no matter what.

"You guys stay here, I'll go outside and find him," Vicki said, turning to leave.

Felix quickly grabbed her, "My goodness, you're pregnant. Please don't push yourself anymore, okay? You scared me so much, my heart almost stopped. Let mego, I'll call Mr. Ball to come with me." "No, I have to personally catch him," Vicki insisted stubbornly.

Luther stopped Felix and said, "Are you crazy? Why bring up the issue of the child here? Be careful not to let anyone overhear."

Felix immediately fell silent. Yes, why was he so careless? Without thinking, he blurted out something that nobody knew about Vicki's pregnancy. If Seren found out, he would have another leverage to use against Vicki. He regretted it deeply now.

In the midst of their anxiety, nobody noticed a black-clad person aiming a gun at Felix's back.

With a loud bang, a bullet almost grazed their heads and lodged itself into a nearby pillar.

The sudden gunshot startled Felix, Vicki, and Luther, and they all looked in the direction of the sound. They saw the black-clad person who had fired the gun, blood pouring from their chest, eyes filled with fear and disbelief, before collapsing heavily to the ground, dropping the gun from their hand.

Vicki quickly approached and picked up the gun to defend herself.

She looked upward diagonally and knew that a sniper on the turret had saved them. She looked up and made an "OK" gesture.

"Is it Joyce? Only she has such excellent marksmanship," Vicki said.

Luther nodded hastily, "Yes."

Although they couldn't see the person on the turret clearly, Luther waved his hand in their direction.

Joyce saw their response and remained in position, still observing the situation from above, protecting them. At the same time, a smile appeared on her lips.

It seemed like their people had gained control of the situation.

Inside the hall, Mr. Ball rushed over to join them.

"Mr. Saunders, sister-in-law, Mr. Warner, the outside is under control, and it's almost the same inside. Unfortunately, we haven't found Seren. What should we do now?"

"He must be nearby. Let's split into pairs and search separately," Vicki urged. "We can't waste any more time. I have this uneasy feeling in my heart, as if something else is about to happen." "Alright, we'll go," Luther agreed. "Felix, you're injured. Go and get medical attention first, we'll take care of things here."

"No! I want to be with Vicki. She must not leave my sight," Felix held his shoulder and said, "I'll protect my own woman. A minor injury won't hinder me. If I can't even handle this, what am I?" "Fine, let's go together," Vicki said helplessly. Who was protecting whom?

She waved her hand, "Stop arguing and wasting time. I suspect Seren will head towards the mountains. He won't return to the previous warehouse."

"Okay, let's go," Felix nodded.
