Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire novel Chapter 341

Chapter 341

Gerald remained skeptical. “What makes you think it’s really a trap? Are you sure of this?”

The man sounded a little impatient. “You can have the lead vehicle drive over again if you don’t believe me.”

Gerald did just that and commanded the car in front to push on toward their original destination, and a few seconds passed before an earth-shattering explosion was heard and the lead vehicle was ripped up in two amidst a ferocious blaze.

As the flames spread, the sections of the road behind, too, erupted in a series of detonations.

The thunderous aftermath left Gerald a little aghast. He felt the entire ground tremor and no matter how hardy their car was, he could still sense the potency of the aftershocks that ensued.

It took Gerald a while to recover himself, and he drew a cross upon his chest. “Lord have mercy…”

They had narrowly escaped an ominous fate!

Across the way, Vinson narrowed his eyes as he watched the lead vehicle blew to smithereens. “He’s onto us.”

Jordan was positively fuming and close to tearing his own hair out. “Did that fella have a mine detector with him? How did he manage to discover our setup and intentionally sacrifice a car just to prove a point to us?”

In the next second, Carter’s voice came through the receiver. “What now, Vin? Shall we pursue them?”

“No,” said Vinson as he watched the convoy fade into the distance. “We won’t be able to catch up.”

Since their enemies had already been alerted, there was no more advantage to be had, especially on the former’s turf.

Even if they were able to catch up, their odds of victory would have been diminished by half and it was, as such, not worth the risk.

Unlike his counterpart, he was not one who would readily gamble with the lives of his own people.

Just as Jordan was cussing away, a shuffle of footsteps came up rapidly from the direction of the stairs.

The duo reflexively turned, only to see the rotund sales manager huffing and puffing as he ran over.

“Oh no! Oh no! It’s terrible! A car out there has spontaneously combusted! Are you gentlemen all right?”
