Willow sat in the car and absentmindedly opened a link sent by her archaeology teacher. To her great surprise, they had finally found the remains of an ancient civilization they had been searching for.
“Willy, we will organize a secret archaeological expedition when you’re back.”
She replied, “Okay, Mr. Swayze. I can’t wait already!” “There’s no need to rush since I’m still making preparations. You’ll be able to catch up when you’re back.”
“Okay!” She happily sent a smiling face emoji and looked out of the window, enjoying the beauty of the scenery.
Just then, a car suddenly accelerated from behind and rammed into her vehicle. “Ah!” she screamed in fright as the intense impact made her heart race. “Mr. Mooney, what’s happening?”
“Miss, Presgrave, hold on tight. Unidentified vehicles are approaching us.” Dario Mooney immediately stabilized the car and radioed the other two cars in their earpieces. “Quickly stop them. Don’t let them get close to my car. I’ll escort Miss to safety first.”
“You go ahead. We’ll hold them off.” One of the bodyguard’s cars behind them swiftly swerved and intercepted the black car that had just rammed into them. The bodyguards approached to inspect it but found it empty. The car turned out to be automated.
His countenance changed, and he immediately alerted the other members through the earpiece. “Be careful. The vehicle that rammed into me was an automated one. They surely have other tricks up their sleeves. Protect Miss Presgrave at all costs.”
Simultaneously, he did not notice the accelerating truck next to him. Jasper glanced at the opened car door and also saw the automated vehicle. In contrast, he was not surprised at all because these people were a group of highly intelligent criminals with advanced technology. They would do anything to achieve their goals, explaining why he stayed behind to protect Willow.
As her bodyguards were unaware of the capabilities of these opponents, they were bound to make some mistakes even if they were formidable. Once they made a mistake, she would be in grave danger, even risking her life.
Willow’s heart was pounding even though she had encountered such situations before. Who’s chasing me? Did I offend someone? “Don’t be afraid, Miss. There’s a police station up ahead. I’ll drive the car in and request protection from the cops.”
“Okay, Mr. Mooney. Just focus on driving. I’m not scared.” She steadied herself but held onto. her seatbelt tightly, gripping the handle.
A black SUV was escorting a black sedan at high speed on the road. However, the SUV behind them was suddenly hit by the oncoming truck just as they arrived at an intersection before it flipped over. Willow heard the commotion behind her and cried in pain, “Jayden…”
“Miss, hold on tight, Dario spoke in a deep voice. He had to get her to the police station as soon as possible. Understanding that the opponents they encountered this time were not ordinary people, he knew he had to escort her away safely.
As they approached the police station, Dario was about to drive toward it when four or five black SUVS emerged and blocked their way. These vehicles caused a series of accidents, but it was clear that no one was inside when they looked in from the windows. They were automated vehicles that had their systems hacked.
At that point, those vehicles were stationed in their way, completely blocking the road.
Dario quickly realized the situation and shifted. into reverse, backing the car up as he had noticed an alternative road earlier. However, a small truck drove up alongside them, and the window rolled down, revealing the figure of Jasper. He sternly exclaimed, “Hand her over to me.”
Jasper!” Willow was shocked to see him. Why is he here? Dario paid no attention to him because he could not trust anyone with Willow at such a critical point. However, Jasper’s truck swerved, forcing Dario’s car to a stop. He pushed open the door and said, “They’re after Willow because of me. Hand her over to me for her safety.”
“No, she’s our honorable lady. I must ensure her safety,” Dario declared.
