Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 853

Joseph narrowed his eyes. He swiftly turned the steering wheel and reversed his car.

When his pursuers were unable to catch up, they whistled sharply and numerous people emerged from all directions.

Their positions had been carefully planned out. Some of them stood in front of Joseph’s car while others stood behind it. The closest ones were about five meters away. They had darts in their hands, and their goal was to puncture the car tires, and then get rid of him.

Fortunately, the car that Joseph was driving today had been specially modified for durability. The first dart did not pierce through and was deflected. The second and the third darts had similar outcomes. However, as they switched to sharper and more lethal darts, Joseph's brow furrowed.

Pop! Fssh!

The sound of deflation echoed as a tire burst. The darts pierced through the tire, causing it to lose air completely.

Joseph tightened his grip on the steering wheel and quickly dialed Vince’s number.

"Joseph, I advise you to surrender now. We'll give you a swift end," the leader taunted, a cigarette dangling from his mouth in a boastful manner.

Apart from their elite members, Duskfall had also contracted foreign special forces Noah had provided. No matter how formidable Joseph was, it would be difficult for him to escape from so many people. They were determined to end him today.

Joseph scoffed coldly, "You think you can handle me?"

"Don't play tough." The leader saw Joseph reach for his phone and shrugged indifferently. "There's no signal here. You won’t be able to make any calls. Forget about calling for reinforcements and save your energy."

They had chosen this location and were naturally fully prepared. The signal here was practically nonexistent, so there was no hope of making a call. Joseph either had to reach Skyreach Memorial Park or turn back the way he came.

Judging by the situation, neither route seemed feasible.

"Is that so?" Joseph looked at them tauntingly and shook the satellite phone in his hand. "I'm sorry to disappoint you but I already got through."

Bam!

A tremendous impact echoed through the valley as both vehicles suffered varying degrees of damage. Thick black smoke billowed and steam hissed. Even the people in the SUV were cut and were wounded. If Joseph had been inside his car, he would have been severely injured.

Nonetheless, he was still in a dangerous situation.

The leader was not angry. Instead, he grinned and waved, leading the others as they approached Joseph. He sneered, "Still not going to surrender? You’ll meet a very unpleasant end shortly."

Joseph was well aware of his current situation. Without hesitation, he took off his suit jacket for better maneuver and assumed a defensive stance. Determination was written all over his face. He was not afraid of death, but he feared never seeing the woman he loved ever again. So no matter what, he had to hold out until Vince arrived.

After receiving the call, Vince appointed a trusted member of his team to accompany Lucas. He himself immediately led his men toward Skyreach. On the way, he called Joseph, but no one picked up.
