Chapter 396
However, Zayn insisted, "The Jackal is coming for me. He will use even the slightest chance to kill me. He won’t give up and will definitely try to escape. He might even have a backup plan for himself."
"If he succeeds in escaping, he’ll become more wicked and cause more serious damage. There’s a probability that he will look for my family."
Nicolette was convinced. Zayn put on his military uniform and dragged his injured body to join the battle again.
"But you needn’t worry too much." Jaden comforted Brandon. "Zayn is wearing the gear Avery got for him. Harry and Hommy are also protecting him. I believe he’ll be fine." Brandon sighed. "I kept saying that I want to help Zayn, but I actually can’t do anything..."
Jaden patted his shoulder again. "We’re just ordinary people. You don’t have to think of yourself as God Almighty."
’Is Jaden really trying to make me feel better?’ Brandon thought Jaden wasn’t good at consoling people. He then looked at the time. It was almost three in the morning, and he felt that it was still a long way from dawn. The two brothers, feeling pretty dreary, didn’t talk for a period as they let the night breeze brush their faces. Not long after, the field in front of them suddenly started burning. They could tell that Jackal was behind this fire.
There were fire trucks on standby in their area, but it was midsummer in August. The fire would spread in an instant on such a large area of grassland. It wasn’t something that could be extinguished in a short time.
At the same time, everyone received an order from Nicolette. "Don’t waste time putting out the fire. Mobilize your men and find ways to move or remove combustible items near the area. Create a fireproof barrier to prevent the fire from spreading further." That was indeed the best solution at the moment. Moreover, the abandoned building wasn’t worth saving. Without another word, Jaden and Brandon stepped on the dry grass near them and threw the twigs and branches away from the fire.
The military didn’t lose order just because there was a fire. They quickly assigned a portion of their men to create a fireproof barrier. The rest of them patrolled, searched, and continued to save the hostages.
However, there were many spots on fire in Wyomarlo City, causing it to be chaotic.
