The night was as dark as ink.
The road was full of traffic.
There was a car, weaving through the traffic at breakneck speed.
Jack gripped tightly the steering wheel with both hands, his face was stained with blood. Made him look extraordinary hideous at that moment.
On the passenger seat, there was a long sword, but the blades were all curled and chipped.
His right foot was already full on the throttle.
He had just finished the fight as fast as he could and was hurrying back home at breakneck speed.
Not caring of anything, even his own life.
Every now and then a sharp pain could be felt from his heart. The pain was like needles and knife stabbing on it, and it hurt so much that Jack even became short of breath.
He opened his mouth and kept taking deep breaths, hoping to suppress the pain.
But deep breaths made his neck thick and veins were protruding.
And the heartache still didn’t stop at all.
“Amber… Amber…”
In severe pain, Jack murmured as he took deep breaths.
His eyes fixed dead on the road. Even though his heart was crushed into a ball, he couldn’t care more than to compress it even once.
Something had happened back home.
Amber was in danger.
He had to get back as fast as he could.
His wife… his child… was everything to him!
Suddenly, his phone rang.
Jack endured the extreme pain of his heart and hurriedly picked up the phone.
The mysterious man’s hoarse voice rang out unexpectedly.
“Amber has been drugged and kidnapped. Come quickly to South of the city!”
Rumble!
The cold and emotionless voice was like a bolt from the blue exploded in Jack’s ears.
At that very moment.
Jack’s both eyes reddened as if he was a raging beast.
His whole body trembled, gritting his teeth. His throat let out a hoarse, beast-like growl, “You, how can you be so useless?”
The mysterious man was supposed to protect them in the dark.
But last time, when Amber was kidnapped by George, it was Yael who sacrificed his own life to save her.
And this time, it was surprising that the same thing happened again even with previous experience.
What was the point of so-called protection…?
Snap!
The mysterious man didn’t explain and simply hung up the phone.
Jack threw his phone onto the passenger seat furiously.
With that, he clutched the steering wheel with both hands and jerked it hard to change course. The car drifted and immediately drove to the Southern of the city.
The sudden change of direction.
Catching the surrounding cars off guard. As three cars that were moving crashed into each other.
Jack didn’t care about it at all.
His hands were locked on the steering wheel, the veins on the back of his hands protruding.
At that moment.
Jack’s red eyes were overflowing with killing intent as if there was a sea of blood churning in his red eyes.
And his face, his neck, even more veins stood out. As if small snakes were climbing on him.
The horror!
The thirst for blood!
The outrage!
That fuelled Jack that made him into a totally different person. The unstoppable madness could be felt from him.
The car he drove, was like a beast, engine roaring as it sped along.
…
Screech!
A Maserati stopped in a deserted area.
It was pitch black all around.
Even the moon and the stars were obscured by the dark clouds.
Only the headlights of the Maserati shone brightly.
The surrounding area had been deserted and overgrown with weeds. No one knew how long it had been abandoned.
Click!
Katherine opened the door, her face was cold as ice, but her eyes were filled with insanity.
She ignored Amber who had fainted earlier.
Instead, she went around to the trunk and took out the foldable shovel she had put it in when Jenny hadn’t paid attention to.
Crackle… crackle…
The shovel made quick work of chiselled down the somewhat hard surface.
