Chapter: 1278

The car jolted and swayed as the driver weaved to evade the black cars.

At noon, the sun blazed down, scorching the ground and sending heat waves shimmering through the air.

The head bodyguard sat in the passenger seat, while the rest of the team followed closely in the off-road vehicle behind.

"Here is Pair Peak Mountain. They are well-trained and armed with firearms."

As soon as Amy finished speaking, the sound of bullets striking the car's glass filled the air. Fortunately, the vehicle had been fortified with bulletproof glass.

Nora, her ears still ringing from the noise, asked, “What's happening? Are they coming for me? Who are these people?"

The head bodyguard, his face tense, replied, "We don't have all the details yet. Our priority is to keep you safe. There are numerous attackers, and we don't know how much ammo they have. You should stay inside the vehicle and remain calm."

The driver's hands gripped the wheel tightly as he navigated the treacherous terrain. “Pair Peak Mountain is extremely steep. If we take a hit and go over the edge, there's a high chance we won't survive."

That sounded familiar to Nora.

“Right, there are four black cars. We need to keep moving, no matter what."

The driver expertly maneuvered the car, weaving through the narrow paths while avoiding collisions with other cars. Every turn was crucial; one misstep could send them plummeting off the cliff.

The head bodyguard immediately reached out to Kason for support.

"Hang in there. I'll dispatch reinforcements right away."

Kason's mind raced as he swiftly took action. He reached out to the veterans in Silverdale and contacted local law enforcement, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.

If they were late, what happened a year ago might just happen again.

Kason also immediately informed Sean about the situation.

Sean, having just changed into more suitable attire, was caught off guard by the urgent news. Without hesitation, he reached out to the people from Sacredice for support.

Due to the sensitive nature of the operation and the challenges of crossing the border, fewer than ten operatives from Sacredice were able to arrive quickly. They couldn't appear in public and had to remain discreet.

Phillip coordinated transportation for them, making sure that they could move without attracting unnecessary attention.

With the arrival of two green jeeps, the black cars that had attempted to force Nora's vehicle off the edge started to lose their focus.

The head bodyguard, taken aback, observed the arrival of the green jeeps. “Looks like reinforcements have arrived sooner than expected."

He thought the green jeeps were sent by Kason.

Bang!

As another bullet struck the window, Nora and Amy braced themselves.
