Falcon followed his accomplice's gaze as he spoke. The moment he saw Bonnie, he sprang up from the ground.
“B-Boss!”
Bonnie showed a fake smile. “Don't call me boss. We're not that close.”
She then slowly approached Falcon with her hands in her pockets. “Falcon, hand over the chip, and I'll spare your life.”
Falcon took a step back and touched his chest out of instinct. It was clear that he had hidden the chip there. Bonnie moved to attack before he could respond.
Falcon reacted quickly to defend himself, but Bonnie's relentless assault left him unable to retaliate, and he was soon overwhelmed.
Seizing the opportunity, Collin dashed forward and delivered a kick to Falcon's abdomen.
The force of the kick was immense, causing Falcon to spit out blood and nearly collapse. Collin approached him with an icy expression.
“Falcon! You treasonous dog! Hand over the chip now!”
Falcon clutched his chest and managed a defiant smile. “Why should I give up something I earned?”
Collin's face grew even colder upon hearing this. “If you hadn't exploited our trust to sneak into the lab, do you think you would have had a chance to take the chip? Hand it over now, and we might consider leniency.”
