Chapter 207: Like Old Times
Chin managed to get an inside information from her connection in the underworld that there would be a secret Underground Cage Fight Tournament soon, and her hunch told her that Leon was behind it. She had once seen him looking around for a possible location for what seemed to be an underground fight club.
The Military had been able to confirm the validity of the intel through the reports of the spies planted in the underworld by the Secret Intelligence Agency. The spies had reported about the invitation to the opening night of the said tournament, received by various underworld factions.
Keira increased her training hours to perfect everything that she had learned so far, so she wouldn’t be a burden to the team. She would only get around four to five hours of sleep, but the thought of seeing Zach soon was the only thing she needed to sustain her energy and keep on working hard.
In one week time, the special task force team which was assigned to locate and rescue Zach would be dispatched out of the country, in order to execute the plan they had formulated ever since they found a lead in their investigation. They were now only polishing the last steps needed for the execution of the plan.
They had been very careful in their preparation to avoid any suspicions from Mr. Big’s side, because one wrong move could jeopardize everything, and worse, it could put Zach’s life in danger, if he was indeed still alive and held hostage by Mr. Big.
After Keira’s morning training, she walked to the canteen to grab a quick lunch and was surprised to see some familiar faces walking towards her.
"What are you doing here, guys?" she said seeing May, Lana and Drey. Her whole face brightened.
"We’ve missed a lot because we were out of the country. Sorry, we haven’t been there for you and for coming to you so late, Keira..." Lana said as she hugged Keira. May also followed and hugged her.
Both Lana and May had been out of the country in the past few months so Drey was the only one from the group of friends who had been with Keira during those hard times.
