"Boss..." She looked at Arthur with a helpless expression.
With a wry smile, she said, "I can definitely crack the lock on these flash drives, but I need time and can only work when we get back. I need powerful computers."
"I see!" Arthur had expected that because there was no way something owned by the Army's Deputy Chief of Staff could be easily broken into.
He signaled Rose to put the flashdiscs away first.
His gaze then moved to the interior of the forest.
Of course, he didn't think he would stop there. He still needed to see where Grayson was going.
However, before that, he needed to get to those Evolvers first.
Some of them apparently recognized Jade, they looked at her in disbelief.
"Jade, how dare you betray the military and now join a group of terrorists," said a woman around Jade's age. She also had frizzy hair, similar to Jade's hair.
However, she did not have a beautiful face and sexy body like Jade.
The latter did not respond to the Evolver's words, she even stared in another direction.
Arthur who approached them clapped his hands, signaling them to be quiet.
"Do you know, death is only a step away from you, if you don't want to die, be nice," he said.
However, one of them, a bald man replied in a sneering tone. "If you want to kill me, just kill me, I was ready to die before I was born."
"That's right, we are the greatest army, not having the slightest fear of death," another added.
Hearing that, Arthur just laughed softly.
"Sure, if that's what you want," he replied.
Before they could be stunned, he sent a fireball into each of their faces.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
All the fireballs exploded simultaneously and instantly crushed the heads of all the Evolvers.
Rose and the others initially thought Arthur was just joking, so they were stunned by his sudden action. Even Isabel who was sitting on the tree opened her lips.
This was a massacre, she didn't expect Arthur to do such a cruel thing.
Although she had just killed someone, it was because she was driven by something that made her unable to stop.
Actually, the reason Arthur killed them was simply because he didn't want to bother carrying and taking care of them, after all, now they were in the middle of the forest.
If they were in the city, he probably would have done something else or made a little effort to recruit them to his side so that he had more troops in the military.
"Ahhh..."
Naturally, their deaths caused fear to those researchers, especially the rather young beauty, she was instantly covered in sweat.
Trembling, she said, "h-how could you be so cruel?"
Her eyes glazed over as she looked at Arthur. She really had been crying.
Arthur looked at her and laughed again. "I guess you've seen death many times, why are you sad now? Oh, no, you're not sad, you're just scared."
He stepped towards the woman and then knelt in front of her.
His words had made her freeze and seeing him in front of her made her even more frightened.
"You? What do you want to do?" She hurriedly tried to back away, but unfortunately it didn't work because her hands and feet were being bound.
"Alice huh..." Arthur saw her name written on her shirt.
He then observed her face, which could be said to be above average beauty.
She was probably fresh out of university, in her early 20s with a medium height and quite lanky.
She had bluish-green eyes, long bright blonde hair, and a slightly cubby, round-shaped face.
Perhaps the words cute and sweet are more suitable to describe her.
It shouldn't be difficult at all if she wants to be famous for her figure.
"You'd better not do anything to her, she's a member of the royal family," said the middle-aged man beside the woman.
"Member of the royal family?" Arthur was a little surprised when he heard that.
"And what kingdom is that?" Arthur asked, looking back and forth between Alice and the middle-aged man.
Little did he know that Isabel who was up in the tree narrowed her eyes when she heard Alice's identity.
She looked up at her with eyes that became sharp again.
Whoosh!
Suddenly she jumped up and landed beside Arthur.
"What are your mom and dad's names?" She asked Alice.
Arthur couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that, he looked at his aunt with blinking eyes and thought of strange speculations.
'Don't tell me she has a connection to a certain royal family?'
Hearing Isabel's question, Alice couldn't help but look at her with eyes wondering who she was.
"Who are you?" she asked her. She really had no idea who Isabel was.
The only thing she knew was that she had killed Grayson who was related to her.
"Just answer my question," Isabel replied with cold eyes.
For a moment, a lightning glow emanated from her body, which instantly intimidated Alice.
"My father is Kevin and my mother is Melissa," she answered hastily.
"I see..." Isabel's eyes finally calmed down after hearing Alice's answer.
She looked at the young woman with complicated eyes.
Then, she said to Arthur, "don't do anything to her, just hide her later."
Arthur looked at his aunt and then nodded.
"Please don't kill them." Alice suddenly spoke while looking at the other researchers.
Although she was scared, she wasn't stupid. She knew there was a certain connection between Isabel and her. Since it was like that, she naturally took advantage of that to save her friends.
"Before that, I want you to first tell me which royal family you are from," Arthur replied.
This didn't mean he was going to investigate his aunt's past, but he at least wanted to know the place first.
Isabel glanced at him as he asked the question, but she didn't say anything.
"Monaco," Alice replied.
"Monaco?" Arthur was stunned to hear that because the kingdom was the smallest territory in Europe even though it was very famous and probably one of the most prosperous.
For the royal family, he knew almost nothing.
