Chapter 279 Greatest Hero in the Alliance
Katarina and her team rushed through the maze of halls that made up the backstage area of the venue where the promotional concert had been held.
Considering how many people had been packed into the place, its backstage area was equally as large.
Only a small portion of the area had been designated for the after-concert events, and the rest was nearly devoid of any personnel.
Having been running for nearly twenty minutes at this point, Katarina and her team had made it quite far from where the other competitors were waiting, and where they had originally retrieved Nianni.
Had they followed the original plan and headed down the quickest escape route, they already would have boarded a craft that would have taken them out of the Dramid System.
However, just in case, Katarina had prepared a few contingency plans.
When it became clear that Kaliya had failed to secure the primary escape route, she had made the decision to abandon him and head towards a different hangar where another ship was waiting for her and her crew.
Unfortunately, what should have been merely a fifteen-minute jaunt had been extended by a few scuffles with security personnel.
With communications having been disabled in the area, it was only natural that the people in charge of protecting Nianni and the backstage quests noticed something was amiss.
Had things gone to plan, Katarina and her team would have already left the venue before anyone noticed that Nianni had been abducted.
Now though, the remaining guards that had not been directly by Nianni’s side had scrambled to find her. Some managing to come across Katarina’s group and getting themselves killed for the effort.
Still, this had slowed them down significantly. Adding quite a bit more tension as this mission became a race against time.
