During this week, Jack had finally decided to allow Denali to go back to her home, and pay a visit to her family. After all, she had been away from home for a very long time, and she missed her family for a while now.
It was just that, Denali's personality didn't allow her to do anything that would make Jack encounter trouble. Since you knew that she was currently an important link for Jack, she didn't want to go back before she completed her duties.
But, Jack had forced the situation. And just to make sure that Denali went back home, Celine decided to accompany her back home.
The two ladies had already gotten along during the past few months, and could be considered best friends. In fact, Denali had already entered the circle that Wendy and Angy were in.
Since they had already agreed that they were going to attend the banquet that was going to be held the following day, Jack had been expecting that Celine and Denali were going to be back on this day.
And, since it was still morning, he had been expecting to go and pick them up from the airport in the afternoon as that was the time of the plane that they had booked was supposed to arrive.
But now, Jack was actually receiving information that there was someone who had already taken away Celine. This was something completely unbelievable to him, because he didn't believe that even with the presence of both Samantha and Denali, she was actually taken away.
But, from the way Denali sounded, it was obvious that she had also been injured. But, that was something that Jack could not understand at all. After all, with the strength that the two of them possessed, he didn't believe that if they worked together, there was anyone who was of a level much lower than his that was capable of dealing with them.
Just thinking of the fact that there was actually someone who had taken away Celine, anger immediately blazed within Jack's eyes. At the same time, the murderous intent that was being emitted from his body had reached a frightening level.
And had it been that Jack had actually slaughtered a large group of living beings, perhaps even the killing intent would have solidified at that moment. After all, even though he had not killed many people, but, the amount of killing intent that was being emitted by him was enough to make an ordinary weak-minded person to suffocate.
"Where are you right now?" Jack asked solemnly. Even though it was true that he was angry, he didn't want to do anything irrational. Even if he wanted to save Celine, he had to actually know about the location that she was in currently.
"We are… currently in the southern… province. During the time… that we were being… followed, all communication… lines had been… cut off, and we… could not contact you." Denali replied.
"We have… already been… trying to…to run away… from them for 2 days now, but… but no matter how much we tried…, they always kept… getting us. And today, they… came over, with… even more people. And, they… were stronger than… those that… we had faced before."
"They possessed… incredible equipment, like…like the ones… that Samantha… possessed. But even though… the two of us… tried to… deal with them, we were… no match for… the whole group."
"In the… end, the…the group… was able to deal… with us. After that, they… took Celine…away, and… informed me… that if I wanted… to get her, I… I had to go over. I'm currently… heading there, but… I am not sure… if I will be capable… of rescuing her."
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm "It was also… just after they had left… that the communication… signals finally… returned. That is the… reason as to why… I called you to… inform you as… soon as possible."
Jack took a deep breath after hearing all of this. At the same time, he was trying to contain the anger that was blazing within his heart.
"Do you know the identity of the culprit?" Jack asked. There was still something that Jack could not understand. That was the fact that they had been targeted, yet, he didn't think that they had done anything that would attract the attention of people from the stronghold, other than Erick and Samantha.
But since Samantha was currently working for him, it was obvious that she was not going to do something that could harm Celine.
The only explanation could perhaps be that, the people of the organization that she belonged in had decided to come and look for her after she had stayed away for a very long time.
"It was the… Shadow organization. This is the… organization that… that trained me… all this while, before… I… I came to… work for you." Denali replied.
"Shadow organization?!" Jack was surprised as this was the first time that he had heard the name of the organization. Additionally, he had never expected that what the system had 'made up' was actually true.
During the time that Jack was deciding on the skills that Denali was going to possess, the memory that was integrated into her mind was that, she was trained in a secret organization.
And now, that 'secret organization' had suddenly come to look for him. There was no need to think much about it, to know that the actual target was actually him.
If it was true that this group of people wanted to get Denali, then they would have taken her away, rather than taking Celine with them. Additionally, it was only after they had taken Celine away that the network finally came back to life.
That implied that they were expecting that Denali was going to call him. And since that was the case, Jack's eyes narrowed as he began thinking about what he could have done to earn the ire of the shadow organization.
Other than Denali, there was actually no relationship between the two of them. But still, since they had decided to take Celine, and they had even injured both Denali and Samantha, then they would have to pay the price for doing that.
"Have you taken the body strengthening solution?" Jack asked. After all, he was wondering why it was that Denali was currently injured, yet she could have simply utilized the body strengthening solution to get back to her peak.
"We don't… have any body… strengthening solution… that is left. We used… them all during… the past 2 days." Denali replied hoarsely. At the same time, her voice had already begun fading, a clear indication that the injuries that she had suffered were quite fatal.
Jack frowned once again. He begun wondering just how much they had pursued Denali. After all, each and every one of them carried at least five bottles of body strengthening solution. But, all of them had been used up already.
That implied that the number of times that they had been injured fatally was not small. Otherwise, that number of body strengthening solution was enough to last them for a good while.
"What skill do you perhaps think that you will need to possess in order to deal with the current situation that you are in?" Jack asked.
"Huh?" Denali was surprised by the question. After all, she had been expecting that Jack was actually going to berate her for putting Celine in danger. But surprisingly, he was abnormally calm.
At the same time, she was also surprised by the question that he had asked. Wasn't he supposed to ask about the location of the Shadow organization? But, why was it that he was just asking about the skill that she needed at that moment?
Still, she began thinking about it. And after a while, she finally came to a realization. "Currently, the… the skill that... I need the most… is how to deal… with the injuries using… herbs. We are currently… in a forest, and there… is no way that we… can get the… modern equipment." Denali replied after a moment of thought.
"Okay then. Wait for a moment." Jack replied. And in the next moment, he focused on the system.
'Angel, Denali still possesses a single skill slot that she was supposed to use to get her fifth skill. I want to use it now.' Jack said in his mind. (For those that have forgotten about this, you can refer to chapter 89 personal assistant.)
[What skill will you like her to possess?] Angel questioned back.
'Is it possible for her to be able to possess a skill that can deal with both herbal and modern medicine, added to the medical skills of dealing with both medicines?' Jack asked.
[Absolutely. Due to the fact that this chance had been staying here for several months now, it has improved, and it can grant her the abilities that you have mentioned. In fact, it will be a level higher than that.]
'Okay. Do it then.' Jack nodded and agreed.
[Immediately….Done!]
…
Several kilometers away from the central province, inside a deep forest, Denali had already been struggling to move. Samantha was also following behind her, as she was also intent on rescuing Celine.
After all, according to the contract that she had signed, she was supposed to protect Celine. And in case there was any harm that was dealt to her before she died, then, Samantha was going to be punished.
And since she had not been punished by the contract, Samantha was sure that currently, Celine was not harmed, at least yet. Since she didn't want to die, Samantha had to ensure that she rescued Celine, even if she knew that she did not possess capabilities currently.
The two of them had been limping for a while now, and Denali was communicating with Jack. And just thinking about how frightening Jack's expression was, during the time that he was angry, Samantha felt her body tremble.
After all, she was the one who had been given the task of protecting Celine. But, she had failed. Had it not been for the fact that she didn't possess the armor and the weapons that she previously had, perhaps her performance this time would have been higher.
But, her armor had been ruined by Jack, and even the laser weapons had not yet been returned to her. She had no choice but to use her fists to fight.
At this moment, Denali who was leading the way suddenly stopped. In the next moment, she fell onto the ground, and began convulsing.
"Denali!" Samantha shouted in surprise, as she hurriedly limped towards her.
