427: Life or death hangs in the balance, but reinforcements arrive.

"Have you finished what you needed to do?" Pandora couldn't help but ask as she watched Jiang Chuan come up beside her.

"Yes. When will the support from headquarters arrive?" Jiang Chuan nodded, glanced at Pandora, and asked directly.

"In three hours at most. I have already contacted our personnel in Clockwork Country, and they will dispatch medical staff to help treat us." Pandora heard Jiang Chuan's words and said this without hesitation.

"You contacted people from Clockwork Country?" Hearing Pandora's words, Jiang Chuan looked at her in surprise and asked with a serious tone.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Pandora looked at Jiang Chuan confusedly, asking why.

"Nothing." Hearing Pandora's words, Jiang Chuan's expression quickly returned to normal, and he didn't say anything further.

Just ten minutes later, a team of medical personnel quickly rushed toward the direction of the villa where Jiang Chuan and Pandora were located. However, the villa was now completely destroyed, and Jiang Chuan and Pandora were currently sitting outside, looking rather desolate.

"They're here." Jiang Chuan and Pandora saw the medical personnel arrive. Jiang Chuan didn't stand up; instead, Pandora smiled and waved, urging the medical staff to approach them quickly.

"Be careful!" Jiang Chuan kept a constant watch on the medical personnel. When he saw them put their hands into their clothes, Jiang Chuan shouted a warning, then quickly embraced Pandora beside him and dropped down, dodging the bullets fired by the other party. He then rolled continuously with Pandora until they reached cover, where he finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Damn it! They dare to deceive me."

"When support arrives, I must go and wipe them out." Pandora's expression was extremely grim; if Jiang Chuan hadn't saved her, she would already be dead.

"You stay here." Jiang Chuan told Pandora, then quickly left the spot. Immediately after, when gunshots rang out, all the arriving medical personnel fell down.

Pandora looked at the fallen medical personnel and didn't say anything further. Jiang Chuan also remained silent. He walked up to the medical staff, saw the supplies they brought, and immediately began treating his injuries without hesitation.

Pandora also knew how to treat injuries; after all, she frequently went on missions, so she naturally mastered this skill.

"How did you know these people would come here to kill us?" Pandora looked at Jiang Chuan beside her and asked, full of suspicion.

"I didn't know. I just don't trust anyone on a mission, that's all." Jiang Chuan heard Pandora's words and then spoke this coldly.

Fortunately, he maintained a suspicious attitude toward the arriving medical personnel; otherwise, Pandora would have died right there.

Pandora fell silent upon hearing Jiang Chuan's reply and didn't say anything more.

Jiang Chuan suspected the arriving personnel, naturally, because of Clockwork Country's own actions. After all, without Clockwork Country's help this time, the Heavenly Lord Society would not have suffered such heavy losses.

Furthermore, and most importantly, Jiang Chuan had learned from Stephen and the others that the personnel in Clockwork Country who supported Pandora had all betrayed them and had now become lackeys of the US.

The personnel Pandora contacted were naturally those she thought she could trust, but she didn't know that the other party had already defected. That was why Jiang Chuan remained vigilant and ultimately escaped this disaster.

Jiang Chuan certainly didn't know that these few medical personnel had carried monitoring equipment with them when they arrived, and thus they naturally saw that Jiang Chuan and Pandora were still alive.

"Send people over to eliminate both of them." The Clockwork Country Official Authorities issued the order without hesitation. As long as these two people died here, Clockwork Country would receive strong support from the US, allowing Clockwork Country to develop rapidly.

"Received." After receiving this order, the perimeter guards approached the location of Jiang Chuan and Pandora rapidly and without hesitation.

Da da da.

The perimeter guards were assassins trained by Clockwork Country. When they arrived and saw Jiang Chuan and Pandora, they pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Take cover!" Jiang Chuan shouted a warning, then started dodging immediately. Although his speed was extremely fast, bullets still struck his arm and leg, causing him injuries.

Pandora's injuries were even more severe. Although not fatal, they greatly reduced her strength.

"Damn them! I must kill them." Pandora's face was extremely grim. At this moment, she naturally realized that those people had betrayed them.

"Stop talking. We must find a way to survive." Hearing Pandora's words, Jiang Chuan had already guessed everything. If Pandora hadn't contacted the personnel in Clockwork Country, the other side might not have sent people over at this time. But since Pandora contacted them, the other side would naturally look for a way to eliminate the two of them.

Jiang Chuan and Pandora understood their current predicament. If they wanted to survive, they could only kill all these assassins from Clockwork Country.

Jiang Chuan and Pandora naturally did not want to die here, so both of them unleashed their full strength. Facing the assassins, they resisted fiercely, but their injuries were constantly worsening.

Although Jiang Chuan and Pandora were very powerful, facing the encirclement of hundreds of assassins, they were powerless. Moreover, the injuries on both of them became increasingly serious, making it impossible to continue resisting.

"I'm the one who harmed you this time. I am very sorry." Pandora looked at Jiang Chuan beside her and said apologetically. She knew that she was responsible for what happened today.

Da da da.

Jiang Chuan didn't speak but pondered how to survive. He didn't want to simply accept his fate. Just as Jiang Chuan was thinking, he suddenly heard dense gunshots.

"Support has arrived." Jiang Chuan quickly looked over and saw the arrival of fully armed Heavenly Lord Society personnel. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Chuan and Pandora had desperately held out for two hours just to survive. They originally thought support would need another hour, but unexpectedly, it arrived early.

"It looks like we survived." Jiang Chuan told Pandora beside him, then picked up his weapon and joined the Heavenly Lord Society support personnel to thoroughly eliminate all the assassins.

"Azure Dragon Heavenly Lord, are you alright?" Energy Bar and his companions quickly came up to Jiang Chuan and asked respectfully.
