The police shielded Lucinda and Nathan. Ellsworth hurried over to assess their condition.
Holding the unconscious Lucinda tightly, Nathan kept his gaze low and spoke with a stern demeanor. Theres a hidden shooter out there.
Focus on me as the reference point; theres a small sniper rifle about five hundred meters away in the eight oclock direction.
Investigate if the shooter is still around.

Understood, Ellsworth responded promptly.
He wasted no time and instructed a team of police officers to apprehend the sniper based on Nathans provided location.
Nathans eyes blazed with anger as he examined Lucindas injured arm.
He clenched his teeth and told Ellsworth, We were in your Aldoria territory, and we went through a blatant car crash and group attack.
You better investigate this thoroughly and give me some answers, or I wont just let it slide.
Ellsworth gave a grave nod. Rest assured, Ill get to the bottom of this, no matter what.
The fact that Nathan, the head of Cadiereds National Security Bureau, was ambushed while on work travel in Aldoria with his wife was serious. Ellsworth knew that mishandling this could jeopardize international relations.

In a short while, the ambulance showed up at the location.
Mr. Payne, please get Mrs. Payne into the vehicle and assess her injuries. Ill handle taking these attackers to the police station.
Once Mrs. Payne is on the mend, we can convene to hear their questioning, Ellsworth stated.
Nathan acknowledged with a nod and strode to the ambulance, Lucinda in his embrace.
The medical team quickly approached to examine Lucindas injury.
The gunshot wound was severe, and the bullet remained lodged in Lucindas arm. The pain was so intense that it caused Lucinda to break into a sweat even though she was unconscious.
Nathan cradled Lucinda in his embrace and refused to let her go. As he gazed at her pained expression, he trembled with guilt and anger.
To extract the bullet, the medical team needed tweezers and anesthesia, which they promptly brought to the scene.
Nathan extended his bloodied hand and said, Allow me to handle it.
Nathans body shook with tension. Keen to spare Lucinda further agony, he carefully pierced her skin and gently injected the anesthesia.
With steady hands, Nathan himself extracted the bullet.
For Nathan, a man born in the army and seasoned in combat, this task was a walk in the park. He displayed even more expertise than the medical staff present.
Once the gunshot wound was dressed, the doctor approached to examine the back of Lucindas head, where she had been struck with a stick.
