Xander grabbed his phone immediately, his sharp eyes never leaving the cars surrounding them.
"Teddy," he said the second the call connected.
"Boss!" Teddy’s tense voice came from the other side along with the faint sound of engines roaring in the background. "We saw the hit. We’re already behind you."
Xander glanced through the rearview mirror again. The black SUV was still tailing them closely while another sedan attempted to move alongside Ivy’s car.
"How many?" Xander asked calmly.
"Three vehicles," Teddy answered instantly. "Percy already locked onto the SUV. Nico and Benny are moving to cut them off."
Another screech echoed behind them.
Ivy tightened her jaw and swerved around a truck before muttering, "Your life is seriously insane."
Despite the situation, Xander almost smiled.
"Take the left ahead," he instructed instead.
Ivy immediately turned the wheel, speeding into a narrower road.
Behind them, headlights flashed aggressively as the SUV followed without hesitation.
"Teddy," Xander continued, his voice turning colder, "don’t engage near us."
"Understood."
"We’ll distract them first."
The call ended quickly.
Ivy shot him a quick glance before focusing back on the road. "Distract them? That sounds very concerning."
"You drive well under pressure," Xander replied.
"That’s not an answer."
"You’ll survive without one."
Ivy scoffed despite the tension.
Another car suddenly appeared from the opposite lane, attempting to corner them.
"Seriously?!" Ivy cursed loudly before slamming the brakes just enough to avoid crashing.
The tires screeched sharply against the road.
"Steady," Xander said calmly, one hand gripping the side handle while watching the approaching car carefully. "Don’t panic."
"I’m not panicking," Ivy snapped. "I’m trying not to die."
The corner of Xander’s lips twitched faintly at her response.
Even now, she still argued with him.
"Good," he murmured. "Now accelerate."
Ivy stepped harder on the gas pedal.
The engine roared as the car shot forward again.
Behind them, the black SUV tried to close the distance, but suddenly another pair of headlights appeared from the adjacent road.
A familiar black vehicle slid between them aggressively.
"Teddy," Xander muttered.
The SUV behind them was forced to slow down instantly.
Inside Teddy’s car, Benny leaned out slightly with an excited grin.
"Got you now, idiots."
"Sit down before you get shot," Percy warned lazily from the backseat while reloading his gun.
Meanwhile, Nico skillfully maneuvered their second car beside the attackers, blocking their path long enough for Ivy to gain distance.
"What are they doing?" Ivy asked breathlessly after noticing the chaos behind them.
"Buying us time," Xander answered.
For the first time since the chase started, Ivy realized how coordinated his people were.
No panic.
No confusion.
Everyone moved like they had done this countless times before.
"You deal with this often?" she asked quietly.
Xander’s expression darkened slightly.
"Often enough."
The answer made Ivy’s grip tighten on the steering wheel.
The mansion gates were still several minutes away.
"Take the highway exit ahead," Xander instructed.
Ivy nodded immediately.
