In the dim corridor of the clinic, Jim was like an enraged beast, venting his anger on the fallen hooligans. Each kick seemed to carry endless resentment and strength, as if trying to shatter all injustice and frustration. His eyes flashed with a dangerous light, and each movement landed heavily on the helpless hooligans, emitting a dull sound.
Meanwhile, Emily maintained a hint of composure amidst the chaos. She bent down, dragging the hooligans' bodies one by one, pulling them outside the clinic to make the entrance appear less horrifying. Her movements were skilled and efficient, as if she was accustomed to such scenes, but her eyes revealed a hint of weariness and reluctance.
On the other side of the corridor, Sarah was busy with her armguard, her fingertips sliding rapidly over it, as if contacting someone or some organization. Her expression was focused and serious, indicating that she was dealing with something very important. Perhaps she was seeking support or reporting on the recent battle situation. Her actions seemed urgent, as if time was particularly precious to her.
Emily stood in the dim corridor of the clinic, bloodstains still on her arm. She gazed firmly at Jim, realizing that he wasn't dealing with the bodies like she was, but was venting his anger on the fallen hooligans. Watching Jim seemingly seeking solace through his kicks, Emily furrowed her brow and walked towards him, speaking with resignation and anger, "Hey! Stop getting angry! Help me move them already!"
Jim heard Emily's reprimand, turned around, and the anger in his eyes seemed to have subsided slightly, but his mouth still couldn't help twitching a few times, showing his dissatisfaction with the sudden labor task. He muttered under his breath, apparently complaining about something, but ultimately unwillingly dragged two bodies slowly towards the clinic. As he passed by Emily, he even deliberately made a grimace. When Jim tried to provoke Emily, her anger almost reached its boiling point. She stood in the dim clinic corridor, her tired and blood-stained hands clenched into fists. In this high-pressure environment, Jim's provocation pushed her anger to the boiling point. However, she knew that erupting at this moment would not be of substantial help, so she took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and stared sharply at Jim.
Emily looked at Sarah and said, "Have you contacted the cleaners?" Sarah nodded gently, indicating that she had confirmed contact with the cleaning team. "They are on their way, and it's five thousand alliance coins per head." Her voice carried a hint of fatigue, clearly indicating that the chaos had brought them considerable pressure.
Later, Sarah's gaze fell on the inhuman body of boss Baobao, and her brow furrowed slightly, revealing a hint of complex emotion. "The original bounty was higher, but... it may take some time to receive the money," she said with a slightly heavy tone. "The cleaners have to extract their biometric chips from the body to confirm if it's boss Baobao himself."
These words made the atmosphere even heavier. Although the cleaning team's methods were effective, their cruel practices were chilling. Emily, upon hearing this, also showed a hint of displeasure on her face, but she knew that in their line of work, some things were unavoidable. The most important thing now was to restore the place as soon as possible and ensure that it wouldn't attract unnecessary attention.
"Then we'll just have to wait and hope that all of this can end soon," Emily said finally, her voice tinged with a hint of helplessness and anticipation. Sarah nodded, and the two of them waited quietly for the arrival of the cleaning crew, silently praying that this sudden disaster would pass as quickly as possible.
After temporarily removing the bodies from the hallway of the clinic, the three of them sat exhaustedly in the chaotic chairs, trying to find a moment of rest amidst the turmoil. Jim chose to sit outside the clinic door, smoking alone, as if trying to dispel the unease and fatigue in his heart with the smoke. The scene inside the clinic was unbearable, with blood splattered everywhere, indicating the intense conflict that had just occurred. It was clear that they were not equipped to handle the cleanup of such a scene and could only hope for the professional services of the cleaning crew to restore order here.
Just as they were trying to take a break from the recent chaos, Sarah's arm communicator suddenly made a beeping sound, indicating an incoming call from Alex. At this moment, Alex's call undoubtedly brought a hint of tension to them, and they wondered what instructions the Valkyrie captain might have at this time. Sarah took a deep breath, preparing to answer the call, while also speculating in her mind what evaluation Alex might have of their recent actions.
Alex's face appeared through the projection of Sarah's arm communicator, with a slight frown on his forehead, showing clear doubt and concern as he asked, "What's the situation? You've been gone for so long without returning or reporting back to me. What happened?" His voice carried a hint of displeasure, evidently not satisfied with the progress of this mission.
Sarah took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound calm and organized. She detailed everything that had just happened to Alex - from the gang attack on Douglas's clinic to Leo getting seriously injured again in order to protect everyone. She didn't hide any details, including boss Baobao's extortion and the final intense battle.
Listening to Sarah's report, Alex's expression gradually became serious, as if he was weighing the severity of this incident and its potential impact. After hearing the whole process, he nodded, indicating his understanding of the situation. "I understand. You did well, and being able to retreat safely is the best outcome. Now the most important thing is to ensure Leo's safety and recovery." Alex's voice was firm, showing his concern for the team members and the seriousness of the current situation.
