The woman driving their car covered her eyes briefly as a car came speeding their way.
“Look out!” Vinson yelled while holding Arielle tightly.
Hearing that, the woman spun the wheel, but it was no use. The car had lost control. Even so, she remained calm.
“The car’s gone out of control. We have to get out!”
With that, the three of them unbuckled their seatbelts, opened the car doors, and hopped out of the vehicle, landing harshly on the ground.
Vinson had shielded Arielle with his arms the whole time, even as his back collided against the floor.
With a grunt, he helped Arielle up, and a loud explosion sounded nearby as the two rose to their feet. They turned toward the direction of the noise, only to see that the car headed their way before had now crashed into theirs.
“We have to get out of here now,” Vinson remarked frostily, gazing at the fire.
There was no way this was purely an accident.
Suddenly, the man tackled Arielle to the ground, and a bullet flew above their heads after the sound of a gunshot.
“I’m their target. I’ve been exposed!” Arielle cried.
The queen mother must be behind this. She’s the only one who’d try to kill me now. I didn’t think she’d see through my disguise, though.
By the time she whipped out a gun from her pocket, Vinson had already aimed his at their assailant and pulled the trigger.
He and Arielle both used silencers, and with one shot, their enemy fell to the ground with a thud.
“Are you okay?” Vinson asked in concern, remembering the way he had just pushed Arielle to the ground.
