Chapter 606 - Compromised

It has already been 30 minutes, so far no one from her convoy has been hurt. J wonders if there were already casualties on their side. On impulse, she talked to Professor Iris.

"Professor Iris, what's the situation?" She asked making Jacob looked at her with a frown. She just shrugs her shoulders and raised an eyebrow at him.

Professor Iris was taken aback when she heard J. In fact since everyone could hear them, they were all taken aback.

"Uhm..." Professor Iris didn't know what she really wants to know so she started. "Your convoy remains intact and unscathed and is being well guarded, the snipers on your way are being taken cared of by the drones, the road you are about to take was already swept by our team, there were surprised attacks but the Twelve Army had dealt with them smoothly, there were anonymous group that was obviously sent by Alex Ogden that is blocking some attacks, the Bloodroot Clan is trying to mess up with our communication but Sam is already taking care of that."

"I am not talking about that," J said intimidatingly which made Professor Iris confused because she really doesn't have an idea what the heiress wanted to know.

"Ah..."

"Honey, you are interrupting them." Jacob butt in but he received a glare from them.

"Do we have any casualties?" J asked.

"Oh...uhm..." Professor Iris didn't expect the heiress to ask that question in the middle of the mission. She expected that question at the end of it.

"We have three men injured. But that was just minor injuries and is being taken cared of."

J sighed. "Okay."

"You are unbelievable." Jacob shook his head but J ignored him. Jacob knows what J is thinking. She is still worried that someone might die. He remembers that time when her patient died in the OR table, she cried the whole time and keeps on blaming herself even thou it is not really her fault.

Since then, he realized that J has the tendency to take responsibility in every life that she had touched and whatever happens to them, she would blame herself for not doing something or for doing something.

Sometimes she can be too insensitive and too sensitive.

"The police have already been alarmed." Someone in the control room said. Since there were gunshots from the drone and snipers, concerned citizens reported it to the police. President Martin ordered them that as much as possible no one will use a gun in the streets to avoid civilian casualties.

"Inform General Sato." Professor Iris was quick to make a decision.

Someone in the room immediately contacted Police Major General Sato.

After a while. "General Sato already reassured us that he will take care of his men."

"Good." Professor Iris replied then she started to speak to their communication device.

"Listen, everyone, the police have already been alerted but General Sato has taken cared of it. Don't be surprised to see police cars around you, they are from members of the Society and will only deal with the Bloodroot Clan."

Everyone heard her and someone from the Twelve Army even exclaimed. "Wow! It is so great to work with these people!"

....

In the Paz ancestral home, the man from the Bloodroot Clan is already fuming in anger.

"The police were already in the picture and is obviously targetting us! How is this possible?" He said in gritted teeth.

Senator Rizza is nonchalant. "Did you get near her already." She obviously doesn't care if the men from Bloodroot Clan will get caught by the police as long as she gets her hand on the heiress.

"How could we do it?! Someone is attacking us even before we could attack. Our snipers were made useless, Jacob's men seemed to be invincible. And the Robin Hood Society is messing up with our communication." The man sounds like they were treated unfairly.

Senator Rizza just looked at the enraged man in front of her indifferently. "I said...I don't care how you do it. Just get the heiress and bring her to me!" She almost shouted at the man.

"But the Bloodroot Clan might be compromised!" The man retorted back.

The Senator smiled with smugness. "Do you prefer it that I personally deliver you and the other leaders to the authority?"

The man was taken aback. He would rather it be their men to be compromised than the leaders and higher-ups. He realized that it is not wise to go against the words of this Senator. She is too cunning.

He took out his phone and made a call. "Bring out more men." He said to the other line. He would rather lose men that lose their whole clan. It is easy to recruit new members after all.
