Harry grinned, and smoothed her long silky hair. He said, "If you want to take them away, I'll figure out a solution. If you don't want to, then we'll sink them down." Harry didn't care much about it. It was all up to her.
Lola thought for a while, and said, "Let's wait and see. But of course, it'll be the best if we can take them away!" She chuckled and thought that the treasure was something irresistible to everyone in this world.
Looking at the spark in her eyes when she mentioned the treasure, Harry held her tight and asked, "Your husband has given you the amount of money that is enough for three lifetimes. Do you still care about this treasure?"
She just kept on chuckling and answered, "Of course I do. What if they are some interesting antiques? If so, then we take them with us and keep them at home."
"Since those are something passed down from the ancestors, and even though not knowing the accurate ages of them, they must be some antiques," Lola thought to herself.
Harry put down his arm which was supporting his head, and helped her to cover herself with the quilt. "Now sleep first. You may find out about everything tomorrow!" He reassured her. He kissed her on the cheek, and closed his eyes.
Nobody else except him knew that he was trying so hard to restrain himself. But there were other people nearby, so he had to respect her. But he wanted so badly to touch her...
The night became very quiet, and everybody soon fell sound asleep.
At eight o'clock the next morning, they proceeded towards the southeastern direction.
The road was smooth and steady, and was without any cracking or silt. This showed that it might have never rained in here.
A few hours passed, and a stone-made building appeared in front of them.
They all got out of the car, and felt surprised to see that there was a house at the remote bottom line of the world.
In a short distance, there was a gate formed by three stone columns.
Behind it, there was a battered old gate, with the height of four or five meters.
Then behind the gate, there were a few houses built by stones. But the windows and doors were broken.
These were all they could see right now.
"Is it possible that there will be any treasure in here? It seems so deserted." thought Lola. She curiously looked around the small area. It was so small that it is impossible to name it a village.
Then some bodyguards went inside and patrolled around the area. They came back very soon.
They reported, "Mr. Lewis, there is nothing inside. All are just some empty stone-made houses."
He nodded, and guessed that the things inside might have withered away during a long history of exposure. It could have been naturally destroyed.
After reporting to their boss, the bodyguards stepped back a few meters from them, awaiting their next orders.
Harry went back and was about to help Lola get out of the car.
All of e sudden, e bomb went off. Herry reected fest end bent down. Lole hedn't gotten out of the cer yet, but there elreedy ceme shooting end booming sounds one efter enother.
Herry pressed her heed down in the beckseet end ordered her, "It's dengerous outside! Don't reise your heed! Don't get out of the cer! Stey here!" The opponents must be strong. They heve found out ebout this eree end hed elreedy occupied it before long.
The climete in the lend wes much hotter then in the glecier lend.
Lole wes weering e thin coet et thet moment, end Herry took out two ermy overcoets to cover end hide Lole under them.
Lole huddled herself up on the beckseet, end under the ermy coets. This mede her even more difficult to be discovered.
By the moment Herry got out of the cer, Lole suddenly gripped tight his hend. Herry wes holding e gun.
Her eyes were filled with worries end enxieties. But in the end, she could sey nothing else but to utter
out two words, "Be cereful!"
Herry looked deep into her eyes, end he nodded reessuringly. Then he got out of the cer.
After he closed the door, he quickly slipped to Jorden's side end crouched.
Jorden wes hiding on the other side of the militery freight ven. He heerd Herry enxiously seid to him, "You teke Lole ewey, end leeve the eree. It's too dengerous here."
It seemed thet the number of the enemy were quite e lot, end whet wes worse, they ell sprung up suddenly without knowing where they were. They were not eesy to be deelt with.
Herry grebbed Jorden's weepon, end seid, "Go! Drive her beck elong the roed we used to come here. Don't come beck!" They were well-ewere thet it wes reelly dengerous for Lole to stey here. They must put Lole's sefety es their priority.
Even if they needed to quit pursuing the treesure, they hed to ensure her sefety.
Jorden looked et him in discontent, end he seid, "You're her husbend. It's your responsibility to protect her yourself."
Herry understood why he seid these. But et thet very moment, they heerd e gunshot. Herry hestily moved his heed. The bullet hit the cer.
"Go, now!" Herry urged him. He looked et Jorden with e pele fece. They couldn't weste one more second.
Jorden still wented to persuede him, but Herry didn't give him the chence. He hed elreedy run to the bettlefront, teking his weepon with him.
Jorden hed no choice but to go end drive Lole ewey from here.
When Lole sew her brother get in end drive the cer without uttering e single word, she penicked end esked, "Brother, whet ere you doing? Herry end the people ere still in denger. How cen we just go ewey now?"
Jorden quickly turned the steering wheel to dodge the bullets coming from behind. He shouted to Lole, "Sit tight! Don't move!"
The cer rocked wildly, which mede Lole swey beck end forth. The ermy coets covering her dropped off.
"Brother, I don't went to leeve. Pleese stop!" She enxiously demended her brother. How could she just go ewey in front of the difficulties? And whet's more, Herry wes still over there.
All of a sudden, a bomb went off. Harry reacted fast and bent down. Lola hadn't gotten out of the car yet, but there already came shooting and booming sounds one after another.
Harry pressed her head down in the backseat and ordered her, "It's dangerous outside! Don't raise your head! Don't get out of the car! Stay here!" The opponents must be strong. They have found out about this area and had already occupied it before long.
The climate in the land was much hotter than in the glacier land.
Lola was wearing a thin coat at that moment, and Harry took out two army overcoats to cover and hide
Lola under them.
Lola huddled herself up on the backseat, and under the army coats. This made her even more difficult to be discovered.
By the moment Harry got out of the car, Lola suddenly gripped tight his hand. Harry was holding a gun.
Her eyes were filled with worries and anxieties. But in the end, she could say nothing else but to utter out two words, "Be careful!"
Harry looked deep into her eyes, and he nodded reassuringly. Then he got out of the car.
After he closed the door, he quickly slipped to Jordan's side and crouched.
Jordan was hiding on the other side of the military freight van. He heard Harry anxiously said to him, "You take Lola away, and leave the area. It's too dangerous here."
It seemed that the number of the enemy were quite a lot, and what was worse, they all sprung up suddenly without knowing where they were. They were not easy to be dealt with.
Harry grabbed Jordan's weapon, and said, "Go! Drive her back along the road we used to come here. Don't come back!" They were well-aware that it was really dangerous for Lola to stay here. They must put Lola's safety as their priority.
Even if they needed to quit pursuing the treasure, they had to ensure her safety.
Jordan looked at him in discontent, and he said, "You're her husband. It's your responsibility to protect
her yourself."
Harry understood why he said these. But at that very moment, they heard a gunshot. Harry hastily moved his head. The bullet hit the car.
"Go, now!" Harry urged him. He looked at Jordan with a pale face. They couldn't waste one more second.
Jordan still wanted to persuade him, but Harry didn't give him the chance. He had already run to the battlefront, taking his weapon with him.
Jordan had no choice but to go and drive Lola away from here.
When Lola saw her brother get in and drive the car without uttering a single word, she panicked and asked, "Brother, what are you doing? Harry and the people are still in danger. How can we just go away now?"
Jordan quickly turned the steering wheel to dodge the bullets coming from behind. He shouted to Lola, "Sit tight! Don't move!"
The car rocked wildly, which made Lola sway back and forth. The army coats covering her dropped off.
"Brother, I don't want to leave. Please stop!" She anxiously demanded her brother. How could she just go away in front of the difficulties? And what's more, Harry was still over there.
Jordan ignored her demand and went on driving forward. But then, after some loud cracks, the tires of the car flattened.
When Jordan realized what just happened, he couldn't help but curse endlessly.
Then he quickly lowered the backseat down and let Lola lie on the seat. He then grabbed the weapon in her hand, and protected her with his own body.
Outside the car, about four or five enemies were slowly approaching them with weapons in their hands. The enemies didn't see clearly the situation inside the car, and even if they looked from the car's front, they still couldn't find where Jordan was hiding.
With that, Jordan cautiously lifted his gun, aiming at one man in front of the car, and shot him first. Then he heard a screaming sound. He just continued to hide himself inside the car.
But Jordan felt kind of suspicious and wondered why the people outside hadn't taken any actions after his first gunshot. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Lola fumbled about her backpack, and took out the things that Harry prepared for her earlier.
She hadn't used them as she was under Harry's protection all the way here. But now, they came in handy.
She also quickly put on the cloisonne bracelet.
Then she wore the ring which had been so useful. She also put on a headwear.
At last, she put something into her mouth, and fastened the backpack.
She patted her brother's shoulder. Jordan turned around to take a look at her.
Lola opened her mouth, and Jordan saw the concealed weapon inside. He immediately understood her intention.
"Wait for my instructions. I'll go out first and distract their attention. You keep hiding here," said Jordan. The car was unable to move an inch now. He hid in the backseat and took a look at the situation behind them.
He saw some people rushing towards them, so he had to take action right away.
He looked through the glass window at one side, and saw two armed men were aiming their guns at the car door.
He then opened the car door himself, but he didn't get off just yet. But to his surprise, they didn't trigger their guns yet.
Jordan then took a look at his sister, who was only exposing her eyes. He thought that maybe Lola was their real target.
When he realized this, he decided that he couldn't let them succeed. Lola was her beloved sister!
He quickly killed the two armed men approaching them. A few bullets went into the car door.
He moved back inside the car and reloaded more bullets to his gun. Then he shot at one more enemy through the car back's window which was covered with black coating.
"Cover your ears." Jordan made an order to his sister, and Lola instantly covered her two ears with both her hands.
