Chapter 658 Step Aside
However, they barely needed to chase after the men before they found the men coming after them. Both parties immediately started throwing punches at each other without uttering a single word. Although there were a good number of people on the other team, Nicholas’ men still outnumbered the enemies, and they eventually overpowered them. Finally, he sent a flying kick toward the enemy in front of him with a glacial look on his face.
If the enemies continued to delay their invasion, They may transfer Cole and other important dignitaries to another place before Nicholas could get to them. “I need ten people with me. The rest of you can strategize ways to capture all these people!” Nicholas intended to bring his team into the cave, where he wanted to save Cole and other witnesses inside.
The men fought their way into the heart of the cave to find Cole and the witnesses locked up in metal cages. “You guys can deal with the men. I’ll save them.” Nicholas hurried toward Cole immediately after giving his orders. Cole’s tense expression seemed to relax a little when he saw Nicholas and the rest of them. “Be careful, Nicholas,” he said.
“Are you injured, Cole?” Nicholas checked on Cole while fighting off the other people who were trying to stop him. He was inches away from the metal cave when a dark shadow attacked him from the side. Nicholas immediately sensed danger nearing him, and he instinctively took a step back to find a buff and strong figure standing in front of him. Nicholas narrowed his eyes as he felt his hairs stand on end. The man in front of him looked extremely powerful.
When Cole saw the man in front of Nicholas, his expression changed into one of fear. “Be careful of that guy. You can’t defeat him with just strength!” he shouted to Nicholas. The man attacked right after Cole finished his sentence, and the guy began to strike Nicholas again. Nicholas had no other way than to charge forward. As they engaged in combat, every hit they sent out seemed more powerful than the last. Although the man was skillful, Nicholas had the same level of skills as he did. In fact, Nicholas even had the upper hand toward the end of the fight.
This made the man more furious than ever. The man fought as if his life depended on it—he gave his everything to defeat Nicholas. The man’s reckless fighting left Nicholas rather helpless as he didn’t want to get himself injured, which would delay his plans to travel overseas. Yet, things didn’t always go as planned.
It wasn’t clear if Nicholas or the man was winning the fight when a loud swoosh came from behind Nicholas. Nicholas immediately sensed the danger coming from behind him, and he tried his best to dodge the attack, but he still injured his shoulder in the process. He stumbled for a moment, and the man started closing into him. A swift figure zoomed in from beside him when the figure saw that Nicholas was about to lose the fight. “Step aside, Nicholas.” Cole protected Nicholas from the other man’s attacks before he turned to start a fight with the man. It seemed like Cole hadn’t been injured before that—he had only been captured because he wanted to stay around to protect the witness. Cole had feigned weakness while waiting for the rest of the men to save him. Nevertheless, when he saw Nicholas getting injured, he decided that he could no longer stand aside. Since Nicholas was there, Cole believed that the rest of the team would show up soon.
He wasn’t wrong—Cole had only attacked the other man about 20 times when Tony and the others hurried over to gain control over the enemies in the cave. “Stop moving. Freeze!” Their team held their weapons out while shouting at the enemies. “Everyone put your hands behind your head and kneel by the corner. Keep your mouths shut!” Of course, the enemies didn’t want to do so, but they had no choice in the situation.
Right then, more noises came from outside the cave. Cole and Nicholas’ expressions stiffened as they were worried that the enemies had brought their men to back them up. “Go take a look at what’s going on outside, Tony,” Cole ordered.
“Yes, sir!” Tony obediently hurried out of the cave, but he had barely made his way out when he saw a bunch of uniformed police walking in. “We’ve received orders to come here and provide support. We’ve got the men outside under control.” The lead officer walked up to Cole while reporting their progress.
