Shane Lawrence helped out nearby, and even Professor Lawrence was lending a hand.
By now, Stella Sterling had learned from Shane Lawrence what had happened.
Instigated by the fake Professor Lawrence, that group had finally started fighting amongst themselves again.
Shane Lawrence and his team had received their orders and withdrawn from that battlefield. They had intended to find Stella Sterling, but after receiving her signal, they decided to return the way they came.
However, they ran into another group along the way. Those people were quite strong, and they were also outnumbered.
They didn't want to get tangled up with them and just wanted to shake them off, but the group pursued them relentlessly.
Several of them were injured, and they couldn't escape their pursuers.
Then, another man in their team, in his thirties, sacrificed himself to cover their retreat.
