Chapter 313 313. Change In Plans

Markus turned back towards Kizy, before bending down at her stomach level.

"Don't trouble your mom too much." He said in a gentle voice, with a smile pasted on his face.

Kizy literally had tears in her eyes with his single statement, but she took a deep breath, pushing down all her emotions.

"Take care." Markus said to Kizy before finally leaving the plane.

Thereafter he joined Andrew's group, taking the sea route along with Nicole and Victor while Kizy was supposed to continue with the airway for some more time before she would ultimately take the sea route as well.

"Any movements on the other side?" Markus asked as soon as he was on board with Andrew, Victor and Nicole.

"No. Seems like that psycho is too quiet from the shock of his grandpa's death" Nicole said.

"Naah. He is waiting. Waiting patiently at that." Victor said in a cold voice, knowing nothing good awaited them.

"Okay. Since we don't know much about that, let's prepare our entry plan first." Markus said before taking out a blank sheet.

He drew a rough map of The Imperial Nation he could remember, before starting again.

"There are a total of three gates to this place. He must have allotted his group of men there so we have to avoid this. Second is this tunnel route, but I guess my escape must have alerted him, hence he must have sealed this one as well." Markus said while marking various places he was talking about.

"We are heading in this direction, the one which points towards a small island before the Imperial nation. This would be a good hideout for us. The Imperial nation is approximately 7 miles from this island. We will have to get ready from here on. We can first analyze the Imperial Nation from here before heading there.

Since we don't know their stance, plus the professor being smart enough would have already planned various traps for us, it's better to take defensive positions and minimize our losses instead of going for blind attacks.

We will of course not lay low. Once we are out of the small island, we will directly fire three missiles in a row in front of us, clearing away at least 30 miles of distance in front of us.

After that, we will remain on high alert, taking a defensive stance, but I allow you two to attack whenever you deem necessary." Markus said and paused, waiting for reactions from Andrew and Victor.

"What about me?" Suddenly Nicole asked, feeling left out.

"You will be staying with me, attacking and defending first along my side." Markus replied.

"But brother-" Nicole was still complaining when Victor interrupted.

"Listen to him." He said in a stern voice, making Nicole shut her mouth unwillingly.

"Won't the professor put his men on that small island? I mean he can definitely do that to avoid his losses from us." Amdrew asked.

"No. As far as I can guess, he won't be touching that island." Markus said.

"Why though?" Victor asked.

"There is a backstory about that island and his mother. He deems that place to be too pure and never allows any of his men, not even himself to be anywhere near that island. In fact that island has been deserted for almost twenty years now. Professor won't disturb that place just to destroy us." Markus said.

"How do you know about that?" Nicole asked.

"I know a lot more. But maybe for some other time." Markus said, his mind at some other place.

Andrew signalled Markus something to which he simply shook his head, indicating a 'no'.

Victor and Nicole definitely saw this small interaction, but they were smart enough to not meddle in between.

All the members trusted each other to no end, and that was definitely the strongest point amongst them.

They were still discussing when there was a knock on their door.

"Come in." Markus said.

A man from their team entered, standing ramrod straight in front of Markus.

"Boss, we are three miles away from that small island. Do we stop here for sometime or directly head ahead?" He asked in a monotonous but respectful voice.

"We will be stopping here for two hundred seconds that is three minute and twenty seconds. This much time is enough to prepare our missile launchers while we take our positions and analyze the Imperial nation. Tell the captain to stop-" Markus was still speaking when there was a loud crash heard, shaking all the members.

Before any of them could react, there were four more crashes in succession, making all the members on high alert.

Markus, Amdrew, Victor and Nicole instantly stabilised themselves on the shaking boat from the after effects.

"Boss, the island has been destroyed! Five missiles were launched over it." A man entered the room and briefed them in an urgent voice.

"[email protected]#k!" Markus exclaimed.

"What do we do now?" Nicole asked in a panicked voice.

"Prepare the missile launchers!" Markus ordered the man who instantly ran back.

"Nicole, follow me. Andrew and Victor, take your respective positions." Markus said before running out of the room.

Nicole looked back at Victor one last time, their eyes meeting each other for a second as Victor nodded back and Nicole left immediately.

Markus went towards the control room, followed by Nicole. He directly went towards the centre, using the public address system.

"Everyone, this is Satan." Markus said and the ship was instantly pin drop silent except the sound of waves.

"Due to the sudden attack, there has been a change of plan. Team Alpha, Beta, Charlie and Delta, alert." Markus said and paused once again.

"Team Alpha, you will be in charge of the missiles. You will be shooting seven missiles in succession ahead of us.

Make sure you leave no place undestroyed." Markus said, his voice not hiding his murderous intent.
