Nicole's heart skipped a beat, and her hand involuntarily grabbed Samuel's arm.
Samuel's expression was also somewhat grave.
They were exposed.
At this time, they had done all the things they needed to do. They absolutely couldn't die here. Even if
there was a one in ten thousand chance, he couldn't let Nicole get hurt.
Thinking of this, Samuel whispered, "I'll hold them back later. You follow that guard out first."
"I won't!"
Nicole hurriedly shook her head, feeling very uneasy in her heart.
Samuel patted her hand and smiled, "Don't you have faith in me?"
"I'm afraid I don't have faith in myself. Samuel, no matter what, I want to be with you."
Nicole had always firmly believed in her persistence.
Samuel felt warm in his heart as he whispered, "But we haven't finished our work yet. Jayden and Leo
haven't broken off yet, and we haven't completed our mission yet. Nicole, believe me. Your safety is the
motivation for me to live."
"No, I don't want to leave you behind."
Nicole shook her head, and her eyes were already filled with tears.
"Be good. You're the owner of Night Elf Empire. You know what's best, don't you?"
Nicole naturally knew, but she just couldn't bear to leave him behind.
She was reluctant to part with Samuel.
The war was so cruel that she didn't want to leave Samuel for a moment. What if they don't see each
other again after leaving this time?
Samuel seemed to know what Nicole was thinking and he whispered, "Don't worry. As long as I'm still
alive, I will fight to come back to you and the children."
"Promise me that you will come back to see me alive."
"I promise."
Samuel grabbed the back of Nicole's head and kissed her deeply.
He didn't like to leave her either.
Unfortunately, it was his responsibility. He was a soldier.
Samuel felt too much reluctance in his heart, but at this moment, he was even more afraid that
something would happen to Nicole.
Before coming to Country F, he had given an account of all the properties under his name. If anything
happened to him, Nicole would be the leader of the Green family.
He knew that he might be a little selfish. All the properties and three children were too much for a
woman. He always wanted Nicole to be happy and live without any pressure. He hoped that she could
do whatever she wanted, but sometimes, not everything could go as his wish.
With the help of the Don family and the Shaw family, even if something really happened to him, Nicole
would still be fine.
Whenever Samuel went out on a mission, he knew that it was dangerous. He might not be able to
return alive, let alone fight abroad. However, he could not tell Nicole these words. He was afraid of
seeing her cry.
Actually, Nicole was not naturally tough, and she was forced to be tough. She was a girl who cried a lot.
Samuel felt ached for her. He really wished that this moment would stop, so that he could look at her
more and comfort her more, but everything was just an imagination.
Seeing that something was amiss with Samuel, the enemy immediately took out a gun in alert.
"Who is it? Stand over there. We need to check."
Samuel let go of Nicole. Salty tears were in his mouth. Looking at Nicole's worried eyes, he smiled
gently.
"Be good."
"Samuel, I believe you, so I will listen to you and leave first. But if you can't fulfill your promise, I will
hate you! I will never forgive you for the rest of my life!"
Nicole said in a hoarse voice.
"Alright."
Samuel smiled, but his heart ached.
What he feared the most in his life was Nicole's hatred, but what could he do?
No operation was guaranteed to be safe. Someone had to pull back late. He was willing to pull back
later than Nicole to protect her.
"Let's go!"
Samuel pushed Nicole away. At the same time, he suddenly turned around and took out his pistol to
shoot at the patrol.
"King has ordered us to kill anyone who looks suspicious we encounter!"
The captain of the patrol hurriedly shouted.
A fierce battle broke out.
Nicole glanced at Samuel and deeply engraved this moment in her mind. Then she was pulled away by
the guard.
She didn't turn back, and she couldn't turn back because she was afraid that seeing Samuel would
make her reluctant to leave.
Her lips were still warm, and she could still remember his kiss just now, but they had to part ways.
She hated parting!
It was really annoying, especially pairing with Samuel!
Nicole's heartfelt extremely ached, and her eyes were even more uncomfortable. She did not know
how she ran out, nor did she know where she was going to be taken. All she thought about was
Samuel.
The guard brought Nicole to a safe place.
This was a downtown house, and ordinary people lived around. There was a commercial street beside
it. It looked very bustling. No one expected Nicole to hide here.
However, to Nicole, nothing was important. She was extremely anxious, and she kept looking outside.
The decoration style here was very good. She didn't know whose house it was, but at this moment, she
knew that she was safe.
The sound of a car engine came from outside the door, and Nicole rushed out crazily.
"Samuel, you're back?"
She ran out with a pleasantly surprised expression but seeing the person who got out of the car, she
was stunned.
It was Steven.
Nicole never expected that Steven would be involved.
"Mr. Bradford? Is this your house?"
Nicole's mind was racing.
"Yes."
Steven did not deny it.
He came here alone and did not bring Ashley.
Nicole and Steven weren't very familiar. Although she knew that he was Samuel's friend and one of the
four young masters in the Seapolis City, she didn't know what to say or ask at this moment.
Steven whispered, "Go in first. Although this place is all mine, you are an obvious target. I'm afraid that
someone will see you."
"Alright."
Nicole nodded and looked outside with disappointment. Then, she followed Steven inside.
"Those palace guards are also yours, aren't they?"
Right now, Nicole's mind was racing rapidly, so she understood the situation.
"Yes."
Steven nodded.
"My identity is a bit special, and I know a lot of powerful people these years, so it is harder for others to
enter Country F. For me, there is no need because those guards are nationals of country F. Naturally,
they don't need any visas. I won't tell you why they would work for me. I came here to take you away.
Samuel sent me a message before entering the palace, asking me to take you away from Country F
and send you back to Seapolis City. "
Actually, Samuel's words weren't like that. He said that if anything happened to him, Steven must bring
Nicole back to Seapolis City.
This was Samuel's instructions.
Now that Steven had come, it meant that something had happened to Samuel.
However, Steven couldn't tell Nicole about this right now, and he dared not to do so.
Steven knew about the relationship between Samuel and Nicole. He couldn't interfere in the military
affairs, but he could still protect Nicole. This was a tacit understanding between friends.
Nicole was not stupid.
There was no news from Samuel, but Steven suddenly appeared here to take her away. What did this
mean?
Nicole's heart suddenly ached.
"Something happened to him, didn't it?"
Nicole stared fixedly at Steven.
Steven said calmly, "I don't know. The news I received was that Samuel asked me to bring you home.
As for the rest, I don't know. You know that Samuel's identity is special, and there is always a high level
of confidentiality agreement in the matters of the military compound. Although you have been with
Samuel for a long time, you should not be involved in a confidential military operation. "Therefore, even
if Samuel lets me take you back, it doesn't mean something happened to him. There will likely be a
new military operation. If you stay, you will become a burden to Samuel."
Steven was very talented in comforting people.
Nicole did not know if she should believe Steven's words, but his words seemed to make sense.
Without Samuel, she couldn't be at ease.
"Can I contact him?"
"I'm afraid not. They are not allowed to communicate with the outside world before the military
operation begins. You probably don't know about this. Although I'm not a soldier, this isn't the first time
I've worked with the military. I understand their disciplines. Since Samuel can send me a message
asking me to bring you back, then he should be fine now."
Steven's expression was indifferent, without any anxiety or panic.
Nicole looked at him for a while before she whispered, "What else did he say to me?"
"He had said everything he wanted to say to you long ago, right? I've got nothing."
The more indifferent Steven was, the uneasier Nicole felt.
Was it a sudden and classified military operation?
Why did they keep it from her?
Santino was dead, Zayn was "dead", and Major was also dead. Right now, only Jayden and Leo were
left. According to their original operation, the two brothers were supposed to kill each other. This should
be done by the Sawyer family, or even if there was something else that needed to be done, it would not
be a big military operation.
Moreover, there was no army that Samuel could mobilize here. The Sawyers were still under Leo's
surveillance, so they dared not to do anything. Phoenix could not come out, so what was the military
operation?
It was just an excuse to lie to her.
Nicole was very clear in her heart that something must have happened to Samuel.
Because something had happened to him, he called Steven to take her away.
This was Samuel's style.
Nicole's heart was so uncomfortable, but her expression was calm. She stood up and whispered, "I
see. Let's go."
Steven heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Nicole was like this. The task that Samuel gave him
this time was too difficult. He didn't know what Nicole would do when she found out the truth later.
Thinking of this, Steven nodded and stood up. He took the lead and walked out. At the same time,
Nicole instantly stabbed a needle into Steven's neck. She said apologetically, "Sorry, this is just
ordinary diazepam. You will wake up in half an hour. But I can't go. Samuel promised me that he would
come back to see me alive. I will never leave until I see him! "
