The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 761

After leaving the villa, Aria hailed a taxi.

The taxi driver was a burly man in his 30s. He eyed Aria up and down as soon as she got into the car.

It wasn't common for a seductive lady to get into his car at this hour, heading to a remote place like Lunar Lake.

The driver smirked, showing a subtle hint of malice in his expression. He wondered why Aria was going to the lake.

Seeing Aria's attractiveness, he couldn't resist his desires. He planned to drop her off and assault her then.

Aria had only heard of Lunar Lake but had never been there. As a member of Task Force Rose, she wasn't worried about any potential mishaps.

Initially, the driver followed the navigation, but as they neared the lake, he suddenly veered off course.

"Why are we deviating from the route?" Aria asked cautiously.

"I know a shortcut. It'll save you some money this way," the driver replied.

Aria nodded without saying much. After all, she wasn't worried that the driver would harm her. She would surely teach him a lesson if he dared to make any inappropriate advances.

The driver was very familiar with the area. He knew there was a meadow near Lunar Lake, where there weren't many people, so he planned to take Aria there and force himself on her.

As they continued their journey, Aria noticed the route becoming increasingly isolated, with even the streetlights disappearing.

"Is this the way to Lunar Lake?" Aria asked.

"Yes, this is the shortcut," the driver replied.

Hearing that, Aria didn't say much. After all, she wasn't familiar with this place.

The driver, seeing her lack of suspicion, felt triumphant. He stopped the car in a deserted area, then leered at Aria with ill intentions.

"Why did you stop? This place doesn't seem like Lunar Lake," Aria asked.

"Darling, why are you going to Lunar Lake at this hour? Why don't we do something exciting together instead?" The driver smirked.

At once, Aria understood what was happening.

This driver had probably done similar things before. However, since he met her today, he was about to regret it.

"What kind of exciting thing do you want to do?" Aria asked coldly.

"Don't play dumb. Some intimate time together, of course. My car has enough space for us to have fun." The driver grinned wickedly.

"If you don't want to get beaten up, you'd better start driving me to Lunar Lake. Otherwise, I'll make sure you regret it." Feeling anxious to reach her destination, Aria didn't want to waste any more time.

"Don't try to scare me, darling. Trust me. I'll be gentle." The driver dismissed Aria's warnings, thinking she was bluffing.

"It seems like you have a death wish," Aria retorted sharply.

"Come on, darling!" the driver exclaimed excitedly. He thought he had hit the jackpot with such a stunning woman for the first time in his taxi driver career.

Aria had considered getting out of the car but realized the door was locked.

"Want to leave? That's not happening. Come on. Satisfy me." The driver suddenly pulled out a dagger and pointed it at Aria.

Aria was about to teach him a lesson when her phone rang unexpectedly.

"Wait. I need to take this call," Aria said.

"I can let you take the call, but if you tell anyone about this, don't blame me for being ruthless," the driver warned.

Aria didn't reply and answered the call instead.

He believed Aria had been putting on an act earlier to try to intimidate him.

"Oh? Then, I'll give you a chance. If you can't kill me in one stab, you'll meet a gruesome end," Aria said.

The driver boiled with rage at her words. He raised the dagger in his hand and lunged at Aria.

But Aria was prepared. She grabbed the driver's wrist and exerted force. Now, the dagger in the driver's hand was pointing at himself.

Before the driver could comprehend what was happening, his throat had been slit.

Blood gushed from his neck, and he didn't even have time to realize what had happened.

Aria didn't hesitate to deal with such a driver. If she didn't take action, many other women might fall victim to him. She considered herself to be eliminating a threat to society.

After that, Aria tossed the driver's body out and drove the taxi herself, heading toward Lunar Lake.

…

Meanwhile, Tom had already arrived near Lunar Lake.

Lunar Lake was situated atop a steep cliff. There was no one around, only a large stone with the words "Lunar Lake" inscribed on it.

Tom felt that something was off about the atmosphere here. But for the sake of saving Miranda, he couldn't afford to overthink it.

Soon, Tom arrived at the lake.

Though the lake had dried up long ago, the area was still somewhat misty under the moonlight.

Upon seeing a cave next to the lake, Tom ventured inside.
