Chapter 913 Escape The White Rose

Chapter 913 Escape The White Rose

After climbing over the large wall, just as Kanu had described, they were now in a forest of some sort. The trees weren’t tightly knitted together so there was plenty of space for them to run, and that’s exactly what Gary did, still carrying Ice on his back.

All of them ran, and Gary looked back, trying to use his ears to see if they were all right.

“You already said that you would come back to help them, so don’t worry too much,” Blackjack said, seeing the young boy was concerned, or young man now. “From the looks of things, that captain had some sort of plan. So they will be able to handle themselves.”

Up ahead, Gary could see the road that led to the forest, a rather large truck was parked up, partly on the road but mostly in the forest, and an old man was seen with a cigarette in hand. As soon as he saw those running toward him, he threw the cigarette on the floor and stomped on it.

“Are you the guys Kanu said were coming? Where is he?” The man shouted.

The man wasn’t anyone Gary recognized. He thought it might have been someone he knew since Kanu had stated someone had asked him to help break out of the place, but the person in front of him wasn’t giving him any clues.

“We are; Kanu isn’t here,” Gary said. “He told us to go on without him for now.”

Gary took Ice off his back, who seemed to be recovering well now that he wasn’t being electrified by the wall. Rather than getting in the back seats of the truck due to his large size, he got in the back.

Opening the door, Gary was expecting Blackjack to get in, but he hadn’t moved, and instead just shook his head when he looked at him.

“This is where we part ways,” Blackjack said. “My job was done, our deal is done, we’ve broken out of this place, so there’s no need for me to come with you anymore.” Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com

Blackjack was ready to turn around, until he heard Gary call out for him.

“Thank you,” Gary said. “Thank you for getting me out of there and now doing more.”

“Hey, you being alive will benefit me a lot, especially if I’m owed a favor from you. The others aren’t going to believe what happened to me, I’m not even sure they care since I was stuck in that place for so long,” Blackjack commented.

These allies of Blackjack’s certainly interested Gary quite a bit, but in order not to create a rift between the two of them, he had decided it was best he kept his mouth shut for the time being.

It wasn’t the main issue at hand.

“Alright, we're almost out of this city, I’m surprised that there’s no one chasing us with helicopters,” the driver said. “I was getting ready to have my mind set like I was in some action movie. I guess whatever Kanu had planned it worked out in the end.”

The man smiled.

Gary also wondered how this older man knew Kanu. He didn’t seem to be an Altered or a member of the White Rose either. Just as Gary was about to open his mouth, they had passed a sign and in an instant, a ding was heard in his head.
