Nicole’s eyes brightened.
Right! The Michel Group has control over Africa’s minerals, ammunition, and runs the largest bio-pharmaceutical company in Africa! They might have discovered the cure for Virs-18!
I just won the Academy Award for the Best Actress last year and have gained some fame internationally. They might help me!
“You can leave. I won’t leave her here,” Nicole told her team after she had made up her mind.
The helicopter they rented was still parked on the square, and she knew how to fly it. It’s around a thousand miles from here to the Michel Group. It won’t take long…
Nicole helped Sophia onto the helicopter resolutely and helped fasten her seatbelt.
Sophia’s eyes were half closed, and tears fell from the corner of her eyes.
Nicole could hear her soft whispers between her lips. “Why bother…”She didn’t know Nicole, but she could figure out that they might have used to be best friends.
Why bother saving me and sacrificing yourself when you have the chance to leave?
Nicole didn’t answer her. People who were infected by Virs-18 would soon die in endless torture and pain, so time was precious. She had to make it to the Michel Group as soon as possible and find her the cure.
The helicopter took off soon. Nicole saw the evacuating bus leaving the town toward the harbor, and the battleship would leave real soon. Meanwhile, she could only stay in the midst of this turmoil…
But she didn’t regret it!
Sophia had saved her once, and it was time to pay her back.
She was the winner of the Best Actress of the Academy Award and had earned enough money. The orphanage and her sister’s life were guaranteed too. She had no regrets!
The journey to the Michel Group was dangerous. The war-ridden land was full of danger, and there were shots fired everywhere. A helicopter passing by might get shot down anytime.
Sophia was half awake on the way. Her throat and nose were burning so much that she couldn’t speak anymore. Her throat felt as if it was being cut when she tried to speak.
Her wounds were ulcerating, while pus and blood were flowing out from her wound. Her body was swelling up, and her entire body would soon ulcerate until she became a lump of rotten meat. She would then die in great torture and pain.
Her body had almost ulcerated completely by the time they were near the Michel Group’s building. Flies were flying around her, and she was holding onto her last breath. It felt as if she would collapse anytime.
How can I die when someone sacrificed herself to save me?
Nicole could see a huge castle when the helicopter was still flying in midair. The castle was tall with thick walls, and there was a small town surrounding it. It stood there like a mighty dragon that was lurking under the war in Africa. One could feel its majestic grandeur before walking in.
It was the Michel Group’s branch in Africa.
The Michel Group controlled almost half of the African economy. They had control over the minerals and ammunition, and they even ran the top bio-pharmaceutical company in the world.
There was a fierce fight near Michel Castle. Forces in Africa were tempted to get the Virs-18 cure as they learned that the Michel Group might have developed one. Getting the cure meant holding power in their hands, and it meant having control over all African countries.
All these overconfident powers were therefore trying to take over this major force lying in Africa. However, they forgot that the Michel Group was running the second largest ammunition dealership in the world.
There had been multiple forces that came attacking, but they were all defeated.
Nicole parked the helicopter nearby. They would probably be shot down before they reached the Michel Group if they just flew over without notice.
