“My God. Is she looking for death?”
“That’s so dangerous!” “Doesn’t she want to live anymore?” “She’s the leader of the hidden clan. Wouldn’t Madam Hayley’s plans be forgone if she dies?”
While everyone was having their discussions, Rory roared, “What are you all looking at? Hurry up and drive down the mountain to check on her.” Then, everyone immediately got inside the cars to go after Veronica.
In the meantime, she was maneuvering the wobbling car. The Jeep was so shaky that she clutched tightly onto the steering wheel, but no matter how hard she stepped on the brakes, the Jeep would not slow down.
As the slope was extremely steep, Veronica felt like the car would flip over any moment as she sat inside. Just as she was thinking about that, the seemingly flat surface had a hole, causing the Jeep to ramp into it without prior knowledge of its existence since the grass was covering it. The car swayed and went out of control before it rolled down the mountain. Bang! Bang! Clang! Clang! Clang-
While the car was crashing down the mountain, Veronica hit her head inside the car and felt dizzy from the impact. It truly felt as though the whole world was spinning. Even after reaching the asphalt road below, the car did not stop. Instead, it charged over the fence and toward the road below.
Inside the car, she had completely lost control of the vehicle. In the last moments of her life, she gave up, thinking that it would be better this. way because if she died, she would never become Crayson’s puppet. Perhaps, her death could be exchanged for Matthew’s life.
However, Veronica had the lucky stars on her side. Just as she thought about her death, the car stopped on the second-level asphalt road and luckily handed on its four wheels. Therefore, the car only shook fiercely before steadily landing on the ground.
The airbag was shot out, and though she suffered a few cuts on her cheeks and arms from the broken windows, she was relatively fine. She was dizzy from the tumbling and shaking, so it took her a while to regain her senses.
Using her dagger to cut a hole in the airbag, she then continued driving. Fortunately, only the windows on both sides of the car were broken, and the back roof had collapsed. There was also a hole on the right side of the windshield. and a few scratches on the left, but she could still drive it.
Veronica felt her whole body aching, but she was more worried about Matthew, so she started the engine and discovered that the car could still move after trying it out. After composing herself, she paid no heed to the injuries and pain in her body and drove straight forward. Matt, wait for me!
At the secret research center in the west zone, Skyler had separated from the others. They fell into Tanya’s ambush and suffered a heavy loss, but he managed to use his abilities to escape from the enemy and successfully entered the research center.
Inside, he met with two workers, who were wearing suits and name tags around their necks. He did not recognize the words on the nametag, but he could tell that those two had high positions.
Since the two were busy talking to each other, they did not notice Skyler and walked past him. At that moment, he suddenly turned around and took out two guns from behind him with both hands. With two shots, he fired the tranquilizer guns and rendered the two unconscious. The anesthetic inside the darts was super strong, so the two immediately fell to the ground after getting hit.
‘These are indeed handy. Roni is such a smart woman.” Initially, Skyler had only brought his gun, but Veronica said that if they wanted to sneak inside the research center, the sound of guns firing would attract attention, so she asked him to bring tranquilizer guns instead.
Recalling his memory of the research center’s map, he quickly dragged the two inside the bathroom and took off their clothes. Following that, he changed into them and wore a hat. before leaving.
He wanted to thank Tanya because she had set up an ambush outside the research center, so the gunfire had attracted the attention of many, causing fewer workers to stand guard inside the research center. At last, he arrived at the elevator’s entrance and took it to the underground laboratory.
