They could die, but Charlotte couldn’t.
N Organization needed her to hold the fort. The research institute was waiting for her to bring in the money. She didn’t have a choice.
“Charlotte…”
“That’s enough.” Her eyes lowered, face hidden behind her mask and cap, but her voice was ice cold. “If I could run, do you really think I’d still be sitting here?”
If escaping was possible, she would have been gone already.
Adonis didn’t know what to say. Honestly, with Charlotte’s skills, she could have gotten out of here alone. She was staying for him and Jackson.
The car sped forward, just a hundred meters from the cliff’s edge. Mist swirled in the valley below. Charlotte gripped the steering wheel so tightly her fingers turned pale.
Dying wasn’t an option. But fighting to survive? That was on the table.
She sat in silence for a few seconds, then crossed her hands on the wheel and slowly pressed her foot to the accelerator.
Reaper Division didn’t see it coming. One second the SUV was driving straight, the next it spun around and aimed right for the luxury sports car behind them.
Was Charlotte really—
Adonis’s eyes went wide. As it hit him, a wave of awe for Charlotte rushed in. Their SUV was leaking fuel. If the two cars collided, they’d explode for sure. If God wanted to live, he’d have to move out of the way.
Behind that expensive car was a winding mountain road. If they could just make it onto that stretch, they’d have a shot at getting away.
Charlotte was fearless. She was playing chicken with God himself. But both of them were reckless. Adonis couldn’t guess who would back down first.
“Anthony, look out!” Hans shouted, panic in his eyes as the SUV came barreling toward them. His heart thudded in his chest.
Were they really trying to take Anthony down with them because they couldn’t escape?
Anthony didn’t say a word. As the SUV got close, he raised his gun and took aim at the driver.
This was his first time seeing the face of the mysterious person who had beaten him three times.
