"Boss, we are currently facing trouble. There's someone who is here to take away madam." Denali replied anxiously.
Immediately after that, she immediately informed Jack about the location that they currently are in. She knew from the movements that the other party had made that the situation wasn't that simple to solve.
Since she wasn't sure about what was going on, she had to do all her best to protect Celine. At the same time, since the lady in front of her had mentioned about Jack, then it meant that all of this was related to Jack and perhaps he might have a solution to the problem that she was facing currently.
On the other hand, Samantha couldn't believe the current situation that she was in. She didn't feel the slightest pain at the moment. She was completely ignoring the effect that came after she had been kicked away.
At this moment, her thoughts were churning, trying to look for a very reasonable explanation as to why this situation had occurred.
But no matter how hard she used her brain, there was no any kind of reasonable explanation that came to her mind. In other words, Denali was something that she couldn't explain at all.
At this moment, she didn't even notice when Denali had made a phone call. If this was before, when she was back at the strongholds, she might have perhaps been sharper than this.
But at this moment, she had completely lowered her guard to the level that she would not have dared to do so back at the stronghold. There, a fight could erupt at any moment. As such, each and everyone present was always ready for war.
But after she stepped away from the strongholds and came over to Azima country, she had always taken this as a vacation. In here, she didn't believe that she would have to fight with her full strength.
The only person that she had to be wary of was Erick. But all the same, she didn't believe that Erick was going to fight her to the death. After all, that was something that was prohibited.
Although the fights between the two sides could occur, there had to be a good reason for that to occur. But currently, she didn't find any reason for that to happen.
Yet at this moment, when she had come over, she had thought that she had definitely won over Erick. But who would have thought that she was going to encounter Denali, who was going to be a hindrance to her?
Since Denali was able to easily blow her away, that meant that in order to get past Denali, she would have to use her full strength. And the moment that she does that, she will definitely attract the attention of Erick.
And if he realizes her plan, no, he should have already known that she was doing this. But if he knows that she had already found the target that he was looking for, then he was going to fight her, in order to get what he wanted.
On the other side, after the call ended, Denali looked at the flabbergasted Celine and said to her, "You will have to get out of here as soon as possible. This person is not easy to deal with."
From the strength that she had applied, in case she faced someone who was weak, she was sure that the other party was not only going to have a few broken bones, but they would already be grimacing in pain or maybe screaming.
But the lady in front of her, other than the surprise that was visible in her eyes, there wasn't even a trace of pain in her eyes as she sat on the floor, staring back at her blankly.
Although Celine wasn't willing to leave at this moment, she was logical enough to understand that in a fight that was at Denali's level, she was simply going to be useless.
So, she prepared herself to get out of here and get Jack here as soon as possible. Even though she knew that Denali was Jack's secretary, she also had already formed a bond with Denali and the two of them were good friends.
It was only when Celine was about to leave the area that Samantha reacted. She stood up to her feet as she dusted herself up. It was obvious that she wasn't hurt after that attack.
"I will not allow you to leave. You will have to come with me." Samantha stated simply as she looked at Celine.
Denali's brows furrowed deeply as she looked at the woman in front of her. At this moment, she didn't want to engage the lady in front of her in combat at all.
Her current plan was to ensure that the two of them waited for Jack to arrive. As long as he came over, she believed that even if the lady in front of her was much stronger than her, the combination of the two of them would be enough to deal with her.
She herself had already experienced Jack's terror. Even though she was currently stronger than Jack, when it came to skills that he possessed, she actually couldn't match him at all.
Just like how she was a step ahead of him in terms of strength, he was also in front of her in terms of combat techniques and experience.
"I don't know who you are, and I am not sure if we have ever offended you. But I hope that you mind your own business and don't dare to lay your hand on my boss's girlfriend." Denali stated coldly as she stared at Samantha.
Samantha looked at Denali with a smile on her face. "I don't know which stronghold you come from. But all the same, I didn't expect that a person of your caliber could actually come to this backward place. All the same, as long as you stand in my way, I will deal with you as well. After all, this is my business."
Denali's eyes got colder when she heard that. With the loyalty towards Jack that she possessed, there was no way that she was going to let something that he termed as precious to be taken away.
Celine on the other hand couldn't leave because the only path outside this place was where Samantha was standing. So, she could only stand where she was.
Denali noticed something strange. Although the lady in front of her was saying that she was going to take Celine away, she wasn't making a move at all.
It was as if she was afraid of something, and it definitely wasn't herself. She looked around suspiciously but she couldn't find anything.
"You know, I have a small business to take care of with that boyfriend of yours. In case he cooperates, everything can be completed as soon as possible, without involving fights. But of course, if he doesn't want to cooperate, then I will have to use the extreme methods." Samantha said.
"It doesn't matter what you say. But, as long as you dare to make a move on her, then I will fight you to the death." Denali stated resolutely. She was currently determined to fight the person in front of her even if it cost her life to ensure that Celine was safe.
Samantha on the other hand was greatly surprised. She had never thought that Denali was serious about protecting Celine. From the determination in her eyes, Samantha could tell that Denali wasn't joking around.
"We are both from strongholds. As such, we can be considered colleagues. So, why don't we make a trade? I will try to give you what that boss of yours offered you, and you will allow me to take her away. What do you think about my proposition?" Samantha asked.
"It doesn't matter what you say. I will not allow you to touch her." Denali shook her head as she responded. It doesn't matter what it was that the other party was offering, but her loyalty to Jack was unshakable.
As for the matter of her belonging to a certain stronghold, she didn't try correcting Samantha about that. After all, the more mysterious her identity was, perhaps the better it was for her.
Samantha frowned. She had never expected that Denali wasn't willing to compromise in any way. At this moment, a hint of killing intent began appearing in her eyes.
"If that is the case, then don't blame me about this." Samantha stated as she began taking off the overcoat that she was wearing. At this moment, she had already thrown away the thoughts that she was going to alarm Erick in case she utilized her full strength.
If she wasn't willing to alarm him, then there was no way that she was going to get her target. At most, even if Erick came over, she could at least talk to him so that he could give her something in return for the assistance that she would have provided him with.
Denali was careful, and ready to make a move the moment that the other party did. She was currently standing in front of Celine, ready to protect her from anything.
As the overcoat that was draping over her body was removed, what was hidden beneath it was revealed to the eyes of the duo.
They couldn't help but get stunned when they saw that beneath the long overcoat that Samantha was wearing, there was a Sci-fi like type of armor.
On the left side of her chest, there was a badge that contained eight stars. Although the two of them couldn't understand, they could immediately tell that the lady in front of them was even more mysterious than Yona.
The two of them of course knew about the incident where Jack had taken Nathan away and killed him. So, they already knew about the strongholds in advance.
"So, why don't we utilize our strength to see who has the right to acquire the girl behind you?" Samantha asked as she took a battle stance.
