Vanya was instantly petrified, unable to believe her eyes.
'Gabriel is with Joseph? This isn't good.'
Despite the chance to deal with Gabriel, Vanya knew she could not afford to confront Joseph at this moment. S had warned her that Joseph had initiated an investigation into their activities, making it a difficult time for any direct confrontation.
Gritting her teeth, she ordered, "Retreat!"
Without delay, the subordinate stepped on it, the vehicle barely holding together after the collision. Inside, Vanya felt the lingering effects of the impact. Her head throbbed, and she was overcome by dizziness and nausea.
Unable to contain her frustration, she growled, "Stop these damn modifications!"
Their van had already been professionally modified for comfort and space, even though its outward appearance looked ordinary and aged. Yet, this fool had gone and modified it further, wasting all the good setups.
Gabriel watched the departing van and commented, "They just left like that? I hate to admit it, but their van is surprisingly fast."
"We merely encountered each other by chance," Joseph said, his voice deep and his face stern. "Besides, it wouldn't be wise to get out of the car."
That masked woman was no easy opponent. If she was carrying a dagger or knife on her, acting impulsively would prove perilous. Moreover, they had already demonstrated their strength, making it clear that underestimating them was unwise, and for the time being, it should suffice.
Joseph decided to bide his time, accumulating enough power before finally settling the score with them.
Gabriel understood the underlying meaning of Joseph's words. "You're absolutely right. I got a glimpse of that masked woman's face. Tsk, her looks truly match her merciless nature. She's a real femme fatale."
Last month, Gabriel had lost a lucrative deal to Briarlake from Cloude and vented his frustrations to Joseph. Sensing something amiss, Joseph dug deeper and discovered that Briarlake was being manipulated by Duskfall.
Gabriel had planned to confront the CEO of Briarlake today, but fortunately, Joseph had stopped him before that. Otherwise, who knows what insane things those people might have done?
