The Billionaire's Kept Woman-Chapter 404 - Reunite
Karmina was watching everything from the cameras that were spread around the battlefield. The Charles Empire already bombed the gate. They were trying hard to block all of the missiles that would attack the castle of the city. And since they banned planes that would fly around the air territory of the country, they only assumed that the Charles Empire was the only one attacking their land.
She glanced at her husband, who had his arms crossed. Although he wanted to go there and fight, he must be with the Queen and protect her from possible threats. He needs to make sure that everything is perfect on their plan. There could be a problem or two but they have a lot of backup plans.
"Are you tired?" He suddenly asked when he noticed her glance.
"No," She pressed her lips and faced the monitor again. "How about our people?" She asked anxiously. "What else do we need to provide to them?"
"Nothing. They are safe." He smiled to assure her. "If you are tired we can take a break." He suggested.
"No," She insisted. "I can't rest until this is done." She mumbled. She watched as the agents flew after they were bombed. She winced and already thought about what they would be feeling, yet she didn't blink.
"Those are our people. We are done defending." She mumbled. Henry understood what she wanted. So, Henry pulled out his radio.
"Fire." He said. Just in a second, the Rossie Empire fired back.
Guinevere was only in the corner, watching how critical the work was. She thought of Ace. She can't call him or anything now. He's busy operating. He's the one who controlled the missiles and other targets. He was the one freezing the account of the Charles Empire and the Serpent temporarily while they held the heirs of the Serpent in one of the luxury hotels in the city.
She clenched the pendant of her necklace that Ace gave to her. She hopes that this war will be over.

On the battlefield, Harvey was underground in the main defense camp. Each of the boundaries is guarded. But he focused on the main thing which they already figured they would attack. He was commanding and killing at the same time using the upgraded electronic weapon. He felt no remorse as he killed each agent from the Serpent or the Charles Empire. The only thing in his mind is purely duty and responsibility.
He then focused on Johanna who just arrived and jumped off the window and ran straight to the field. Ian and Leon are behind her to protect her from threats.
"Cover Peregrine Falcon!" He commanded. They called Johanna the Peregrine Falcon. She ran like she was dashing and flying at the same time. She's swift and precise as well. While she's running, she also swiftly kills anyone who gets in her way, not waiting for them to hurt her. She sliced a few hands and arms cleanly and a few necks with her two Katanas.
Violet was focused on killing every agent on the heads and critical parts that are showing. But it was hard to kill agents who were in full armor. They were bulletproof like Victor. But Victor shone among all of the agents in full armor. He was bulky. She gasped and pressed her lips. She focused on the target. She shouldn't lose anything at all this time although her chest felt heavy.
It was blood. Clean cuts and bodies on the ground. Harvey was very much mesmerized by how Johanna or Hannah Grace killed anyone who got close to her with her Katanas. Even bullets can't hit her. Behind her are Leon and Ian, who were covering her back all this time. It was like the art of war. Johanna swung her sword with elegance, grace, and precision.
Suddenly, Victor jumped in front of Johanna to meet her. They all stopped but Harvey already predicted this.
"Be safe," Harvey whispered that was meant for Johanna. No matter what Johanna was, she's still his baby sister although not by blood.
Johanna pointed her sword upward in front of her nose. Like a salute in the game of fencing. She waited patiently for Victor's response.
Victor didn't follow her, instead, he attacked aggressively. She was too flexible that she bent backward while Leon and Ian jumped from different directions. She flipped as Victor pulled out his swords as they fought like in medieval times. Each of them didn't get any scratch and since Johanna was flexible and wearing something flexing, her advantage on getting close to him was great. Victor was being slowed by his armor but he's strong, really strong that he could smash Johanna.
Harvey, who was watching it all from the monitor, gaped at the beautiful flighting dance. He was distracted by the artistic fight between the siblings like they were just playing. It was too breathtaking. Violet who was on the top also felt the same as Harvey. They never saw Johanna and Victor fight before and this is one thing that they never see every day.
Hannah Grace and Victor clash in unison. Sword to sword, blade to blade, and clinging. The sound of the metals clashing was like music. From Johanna's sharp blades, Victo changed his weapons using his armors and guns. Although Johanna had a gun, she didn't use it on him.
Shortly, Johanna jumped back and stopped. Victor did the same. She slowly removed her mask and freed her hair. She smiled at Victor.
"Oniichan!" She called him. Victor's eyes dilated behind his mask. It quickly uncovered his face as he stared at her. He looked down at his hand that was lifting on its own. It was them, controlling him.
"No!" Leon exclaimed when Johanna was too focused on him. Leon pushed her and covered her, receiving the bullet. He winced, the pain in his chest too strong from the bullet.
"Retreat!" Harvey shouted on their earpiece.
Johanna looked at the missile as it was directed at them. Leon stood and pushed Johanna and Ian away who was about to cover him.
"Go!" Harvey exclaimed.
He watched Victor dodge as the person he knew flew in a different direction. It was the same for Johanna and Ian but the one who received more of it was Leon. It was meant for him.
Johanna was consistent when she saw that Ian was coming to Leon, she stood and ran to Victor. 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦
"Oniichan!" She shouted out of her lungs. Victor stopped and forced the suit not to attack. "Onni-Chan! Kiite, onegaishimasu!" She panted.
Victor gritted his teeth as he canceled all of it. His head was working now. It was his sister. He recognized the accent and that face. He recognized it all.
While Johanna and Victor are having their moment, Harvey had the robots put the armor on him. He jumped out and ran fast. The armor was robotic like Victor but it was lighter. It gave him enough speed to jump toward Ian and Leon. Leon isn't responding while Ian is trying hard to get closer to Leon. Ian got to Leon shortly and reached his face.
"Leon!" Ian shouted as he carefully pulled Leon up and Harvey scooped the injured body, secured it with the ropes, and ran fast back inside the camp.
Ian looked at Johanna who was chasing Victor. He doesn't want to leave his niece behind.
"Jo!" He called but Johanna sighed at him, leaving her Katana on the ground as she approached Victor and hugged him.
"Big Bro, it's Hannah." She whispered.
Victor's eyes dilated and stopped from any restraining. He didn't mind when Johanna was destroying his armor and pulled out the wires. He just embraced her, since it felt so right.
"I'm sorry that I didn't write again. You were in danger. We are both in danger."
"Hannah," Victor whispered. His voice was a little horse. "Baby girl."
She nodded her head as tears rolled down her eyes. She was busy removing a few things from him. Then, an upcoming missile was in their direction. Victor quickly jumped out and ran as he covered Johanna.
"That's right." She whispered. "You always protect me."
Victor glanced from right to left and he stood, pulling up Johanna.
"Leave." He said. "I don't want you to go there either."
"No." She exclaimed. "I will ruin them." She wiped her tears. "I will ruin them. I swear to you."
Victor has those hopeful eyes.
"Your family is waiting for you. Our family is waiting for us."
"I—I had made a lot of mistakes."
"It wasn't yours." She exhaled. "Please, come with us."
Victor groaned as he gently pushed Johanna. His head was in pain and so was his body. Johanna pulled out a small pen and injected it into Victor's neck as it sucked his blood. She looked in Violet's direction above as she clicked the button and tossed the pen to Violet. It would run two miles up and in one direction like a bullet.
Then, guns were pointed at Johanna's head.
"Hannah Grace," A man grinned at her.
Johanna turned to them with a glare.
"Come if you don't want your brother to get hurt."
"Stop it. I will come with you."
Victor gasped in the air after struggling from the pain. Johanna pressed her lips and reached out for her brother.
"I won't leave you."
