At first, Mira had prepared some ordinary potions, but now, she switched them all out for high-potency ones.
“Owen, do you see? There are two cars behind us.
When the time comes, remember not to hold back. Make every move a killing blow.”
“You’re quite ruthless.”
Owen glanced in the rearview mirror and frowned. “I’ve noticed you have a very keen sense for danger.”
How could she not be, when it had cost her her life in a past existence?
The patch of woods was fast approaching. As expected, one of the cars began to accelerate, passed them, and pulled in front.
Then, it suddenly braked without flashing its taillights.
If Owen hadn't been on high alert, they would have rear-ended it.
Immediately after, the car behind them also stopped.
Owen and Mira didn’t move forward. Instead, they sat in the car, waiting for the other side to make a move.
Soon, people got out of both cars. They swarmed around, about twelve or thirteen of them.
Through the car window, Mira saw them clearly. It was the same group of kidnappers from her past life.
She even saw the man who had delivered the final blow that ended her life.
Fate really did have a way of bringing enemies together. Mira even began to suspect that her rebirth was solely for the purpose of revenge.
“You stay in the car. Don’t get out.”
Owen reached for the door handle, preparing to go out and fight.
“No, I’m going with you.”
She had to get her revenge personally.
“They’re all experts.”
“Then I have to go out even more. With my current skills, I can at least dodge. I’ll use my potions directly.”
“Alright. Wait a few minutes after I get out, then act when you see an opening.”
“Okay.”
As soon as Owen stepped out, they immediately surrounded and attacked him.
“Following orders? If we were the ones who had failed, would you have spared us?”
Owen asked with a smile.
Mira casually tossed a handful of caustic powder over them.
“No!”
Within a minute, they had dissolved into nothing.
No? In her past life, Mira had begged them to spare her, crying for a long time, but not a single one of them had shown any mercy.
They were vicious criminals. Letting them live would only bring more harm to the world.
Next, the two of them checked the cars for any cameras or recording devices.
After inspecting the surroundings, she had to thank them for choosing a road with no security cameras. Only then did they get back on their way.
In reality, the entire confrontation, from stopping the car to finishing them off, took less than ten minutes.
As they continued driving, Owen asked Mira, “Those people weren’t from the Mercer family, were they?”
