Keep in touch. If you need anything, I'll fully cooperate."
There were far too many ears around for Mira to elaborate further.
Once the chaos subsided, Sarah and George stood frozen in shock. "Mom, Dad, let's keep shopping."
"B-but... since it's so dangerous here, maybe we should just go home."
Sarah patted her chest, the residual panic leaving her trembling.
Mira was a veteran of countless battles from her past life, making incidents like this barely a blip on her radar. Ryan was young and adaptable, but her adoptive parents were entirely unused to such darkness.
"It's fine. Look at everyone else, they aren't scared. We have nothing to worry about."
Though still terrified, George gritted his teeth and stood firm for his family.
"Dad is right. There are so many people here, and cameras are everywhere. Even scammers have to resort to tricks to lure us into quiet spots. They wouldn't dare grab someone in plain sight."
Mira reassured them gently.
"Okay, okay, I'll be more careful. I won't let strangers get near me."
Sarah replied, forcing a brave face.
Mira had previously urged them to adapt to city life, and Sarah refused to hold her daughter back.
However, this encounter turned Sarah into a bundle of nerves; she flinched and grew highly suspicious anytime someone accidentally brushed past her.
Setting that aside, the moment they returned home, Mira dialed the memorized numbers for Silas and Jax.
They hadn't been hired directly; their organization took the job, and they were dispatched. They had no idea who the true mastermind was.
Mira thoroughly outlined her suspicions to the police, pointing the finger at Shane and Mara. Knowing Adrian's character, he would never waste time on anything that didn't directly benefit him.
With nothing left for her to do, Mira left the investigation in the hands of the authorities.
When Ethan found out, he asked Mira, "Should you contact Hank? He works for a global conglomerate; he knows far more about the syndicate than we do."
"Forget it. Hank is a massive figure compared to us right now. I don't want to beg anyone for favors.
By the way, Ethan, I've got ahold of Silas and Jax. If you're short on personnel, you can take your driver back."
Mira's current driver and security detail had been provided by Ethan.
