Dead at Heart (Ariel and Jayson) novel Chapter 793

Ariel stayed calm, her eyes fixed on the sports car.

She was almost certain now that they were being intercepted.

"This is bad," her local colleague said, frowning. "I recognize the guy standing in front. He's a well-known street boss around here, backed by an Isbell family."

Ariel frowned. Their numbers were significant, and their intentions were unclear.

And would someone driving such an expensive car do this for money? Probably not.

"We're armed, right?" Ariel checked the car doors. They were all locked.

Her gut told her these people might be even more dangerous than the gunfire behind them.

"We do have guns, but if we go head-to-head with them, I don't think…"

Ariel understood immediately that escaping was not going to be easy.

Just then, someone got out of the sports car.

He was a man in his 30s, with the typical features of a Veylander, yet still fairly handsome. His attire was strikingly luxurious, setting him apart from everyone else.

Ariel's colleague's eyes went wide at once. "He's from the Nielsen family."

Ariel looked ever in confusion. "The Nielsen family?"

She knew nothing about the foreign scene.

"It's a mafia family in Isbell. They have a wide reach and a brutal way of operating."

Her colleague broke into a cold sweat. "What is a Nielsen doing here?"

Things were clearly about to get a lot messier.

Ariel gripped her phone tighter, her anxiety rising. She wanted to get out of this signal-less area and contact Jayson, but the situation right now…

"Please wait, Ms. Walker. We'll try to negotiate first," her colleague said.

Ariel nodded. "Be careful."

Ariel didn't know exactly what they were talking about. All she could see was that the man from the Nielsen family kept a dark, grim expression.
