Chapter 742
Eason leaned against the wall, unable to move after his leg was struck by a fallen object. He did not respond to Joel.
For some reason, he couldn't fully trust someone like how Zion could.
"Hudson! Fuck-" Panicked, Joel cursed before jumping down from above. He started
looking around for Eason anxiously.
"Hudson!" He seemed to have come alone.
Eason leaned against the wall, wincing in pain as he looked at Joel. "What are you doing here
Relieved, Joel asked, "Did you not hear me calling for you?"
His tone was disdainful as he walked over to check on Eason's injury. "You're not any younger, so why are you still out on missions?"
Eason's eyes reddened as he asked, "You're the one behind it, right?"
Stunned, Joel looked up at him. "Are you suspecting me?"
Eason said, "You asked me last night if I was going on a mission. I said I wasn't." Then, something happened to the team today.
"How ungrateful of you when I came all this way to rescue you." Joel felt somewhat annoyed, yet he knew this wasn't the time to be angry at him.
"My call couldn't get through to you, so I checked with Zion. He said that you were on a mission, and I came because I was worried," he said, carrying Eason on his back.
He continued, "I've already told Zion to send backup, and I've tied up those above already. Don't worry."
Eason looked at Joel. "Don't lie to me."
He was afraid that Joel might lie to him.
"I" Before Joel could continue his words, several mercenaries who were fully equipped jumped down from above. They were clearly from Genome Society.
Their leader coldly chuckled at Eason before indicating for his men to move forward.
Joel frowned and looked at them warily.
At that moment, they realized that Genome Society was here for Joel. It was too late when Eason came to his senses.
Joel couldn't take on so many trained mercenaries alone. He was pinned to the ground and injected with something before being forcibly taken away.
"Joel!" Eason struggled to stand up, but his leg must have been broken. He stumbled onto the ground.
He realized how foolish he was then.
Eason had believed in Sarah and started to doubt Joel and the Rebels. That was why he changed the original plan and participated in the mission.NôvelDrama.Org content.
Joel would surely come if he knew that Eason was in danger. He would come alone without implicating the Rebels, as Eason was with the police. And because he came alone, Genome Society would have no difficulties taking him away.
Joel was Simeon, who had reincarnated. He was just as important as Stephanie to them.
Besides, Genome Society knew that the leader of the Rebels was Carol. With him in their hands, they could exchange hostages with Carol. They wanted Steven.
Zion barged in with backup, but Joel had already been taken away.
Eason slapped himself. He leaned against the wall without a care for his injured leg.
Zion hurried forward. "Hang in there, Eason. I'll bring you to the hospital." "You were right," Eason said hoarsely. "I should've trusted him."
He should've unconditionally trusted his loved one, just like how Zion trusted Rachel.
It was just like what Zion had said he was no longer when the fear of losing someone surpassed his other deepest fears.
