Chapter 2886

She looked ahead, her eyes piercing the darkness. Judging from the elevation she was at, she figured that the cliff

might not be too far from where she stood.

Midway, Nicole stopped and pondered if there was still a way ahead. She was wondering why Damien and the rest

of his entourage had chosen to hole themselves up in a place that was so isolated and claustrophobic.

All of a sudden, she heard some rustling noises emanating from the thick, lush vegetation before her. Startled, she

darted off the trail she was on and hid herself behind the thicket to her right, and there, she carefully observed the

movements of the silhouettes ahead.

"Let's stay here for a few days. We can leave once things have simmered down," a man said with a hint of caution

in his voice.

"Why don't we just leave now?" another voice asked.

Upon hearing the second voice, Nicole's eyes widened.

'Isn't that Damien? Patricia was following him, but why isn't she here?' Nicole wondered.

As their footfalls grew louder, Nicole crouched over and looked through the gaps in the thicket, trying not to place

herself in their direct line of sight.

As expected, two figures emerged from the grove up ahead, of whom one was Damien. They were strolling along

the pathway as they conversed, shooting bullets of glances behind their shoulders every now again to ensure that

they were not being followed.

"Do you think we've really shaken that woman off?" Damien asked, sounding a little worried.

"Vaio is keeping an eye on her. She won't have her way with us," the other man assured.

However, Damien still seemed uneasy as he remarked," She's quite formidable, you know."

"You have nothing to worry about, because Vaio is more than capable of taking care of her," the man asserted.

"Let's go. With Vaio distracting her, we can take this opportunity to get into hiding."

"Okay." Damien agreed, and followed the other man around a corner.

Then, they disappeared from sight.

What they failed to realize was that someone had managed to track them here; after Nicole had gotten a bead in

the direction which they had taken, she went after them, moving in a half-crouch with her back lowered so as to

muffle her footfalls.

Based on what she had gathered from their conversation, it was evident that this individual by the name of "Vaio"

was not someone she should trifle with. In all likelihood, he was skilled in combat, stealth, and mind games.

With that in mind, Nicole quickened her pace until she could hear a commotion up ahead. Judging by the sound of

grunts and yells, Nicole figured that they came from Patricia and Vaio, who must be locked in combat.

The voices drew closer and louder until they sounded as if they were right next to Nicole, and that was when she

caught sight of two figures grappling and wrestling. With her heart pounding, Nicole squinted her eyes and quickly

advanced to get a good look of the situation.

As it turned out, Patricia was still capable of going toe-to- toe with Vaio, though it was challenging for her to gain the

upper hand. Just as Nicole was about to step in to help, she caught a glimpse of Vaio producing a slender hilt of

some sort from the holster at his back.

"Shit!" Nicole grabbed a tree branch and hurled it at Vaio, knowing she would be unable to get to them in time.

"Ah!" The tree branch struck Vaio's arm, causing him to yelp in pain, and the baton-like weapon he was holding fell

to the ground with a loud clunk.

A needle-like appendage with rows of feathers lining it ejected from the tip of the baton, making it clear to Nicole

that it was a concealed tranquilizer baton.

Vaio then stumbled back and clutched his arm in pain.
