Ambush

Midnight, on the wide expressway, two expensive and high-performance Destroyers were driving one after the other. After bypassing the upper hub, they entered the Cross-Sea Expressway, and Yi Lin Manor seemed to be within sight.

Wei Wei was still sulking, but Ronan felt something was wrong.

This sense of crisis had started the moment he entered the banquet.

It was as if someone was watching him from the shadows.

This was a transcendent instinct, possibly related to his prison life – in Crescent Prison, without the help of this danger warning instinct, Ronan would have died ten thousand times over.

This time, the sense of crisis was unprecedentedly strong.

He suddenly looked up, and in an instant, the streetlights on both sides of the Cross-Sea Expressway went out!

The driver slowed down. Although the Destroyer's headlights could illuminate a long distance, without high-intensity lighting, moving forward at the current high speed was undoubtedly courting death.

Then they saw a small flame light up on the distant hillside!

The driver, who was said to be from the military, reacted without hesitation. He roared, "It's an ambush!"

As he spoke, he yanked the steering wheel, forcing the Destroyer to crash into the left guardrail!

Boom!

The Destroyer's bumper shattered the guardrail and stumbled into a muddy field.

While the people in the car were still in shock, a fiery dragon brushed past them.

Bang!

A huge explosion sounded. The driver's keen sense of smell saved Wei Wei and Ronan's lives, but the second Destroyer was not so lucky.

Four bodyguards, said to be skilled, were hit head-on by the fiery dragon, and the entire car was blown to pieces!

Smoke and fire rose, looking exceptionally dazzling in the pitch-black Cross-Sea Expressway.

Wei Wei trembled, "W-what's going on?"

Because of the seatbelts, the two young master and young lady from Yi Lin Manor in the back seat were not seriously injured. Wei Wei only had a slight scrape on her forehead, while Ronan had assumed a strange posture the moment of the crash, dissolving the huge impact force into nothingness.

It was just that in this moment of panic, no one noticed Ronan's abnormality.

The driver gritted his teeth, "Anti-armor equipment, at least a third-generation Red Copper Dragon Grenade!"

With that, he frantically pressed a button on the car: "Calling Yi Lin Manor, this is rx03, the young lady has encountered an ambush, location is the Cross-Sea Expressway, the enemy has heavy weapons..."

Bang!

Before he could finish speaking, a high-explosive armor-piercing round penetrated the windshield, hitting the driver directly between the eyebrows.

His neck slumped, and his body went limp.

Wei Wei screamed!

Ronan, however, instantly unbuckled his seatbelt and leaped from the back seat to the front!

Wei Wei cried out, "What are you doing?"

Ronan pulled the driver's body to the passenger seat and then sat down himself.

"I don't like waiting to die," he said quickly.

Wei Wei anxiously asked, "Can you drive?"

Ronan started the rx Destroyer while muttering:

"I can even fly a spaceship!"

Unfortunately, Wei Wei didn't hear his muttering, because from the small woods not far away, a fierce off-road vehicle with powerful horsepower charged out!

Four rows of searchlights locked onto the rx Destroyer. Ronan could vaguely see a masked man lying on the roof of the car, holding a sniper rifle in his hand.

It was this deadly weapon that had taken the driver's life.

Ignoring Wei Wei's screams, Ronan made a decisive move and suddenly pushed the Destroyer's horsepower to the maximum!

Driven by high-quality Primal Stone, the Destroyer was like a beast unleashed from its cage, leaping out of the mud in an instant!

A large amount of sparks were generated from the friction between the tires and the rocks, but Ronan couldn't care less at this moment.

He didn't turn around and drive onto the Cross-Sea Expressway, even though that road seemed to be the fastest way back to Yi Lin Manor.

But he hadn't forgotten how the second Destroyer was destroyed.

God knows if the guy at the end of the road with the single-man rocket launcher was still waiting for him.

The only escape route was in this mountain!

The driver of the off-road vehicle obviously didn't expect that the Destroyer could still move after the driver's death, and the driver's decisiveness far exceeded that of ordinary people. In just two breaths, the Destroyer fiercely charged into the dense forest.

"Chase!"

Although the intercepted information from the encrypted channel proved that Yi Lin Manor had received the distress signal sent by the driver before his death, and with Earl Will's means, rescue forces should arrive soon, the leader of the assassination team still made a decisive decision without hesitation.

The killer on the roof of the off-road vehicle suddenly put away his weapon, got into the car, and said calmly, "Next shot, I'll take out the young man driving."

Boom boom boom!

In the drowsy midnight, two luxury cars engaged in a chase through the muddy and intricate woodland!

The night was pitch black, but the Destroyer had turned off its bright headlights.

Ronan felt his blood begin to boil.

He narrowed his eyes, looking at the woods ahead. The Destroyer, in a stumbling yet incredibly determined manner, weaved around the gnarled trees, steadily driving into the depths of the jungle.

Wei Wei's heart pounded. She sat in the back, unable to see anything because Ronan had extinguished all sources of light. She was smart and naturally understood Ronan's intention. Without light, even if the car behind had radar or other detection equipment, locking onto this car would be somewhat more troublesome.

At least they wouldn't be taken out by their snipers with a single shot.

But what she was curious about was how Ronan ensured the Destroyer wouldn't hit a tree.

He wasn't driving fast, but in this pitch-black night where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, how was he able to see the direction?

Suddenly, this annoying bumpkin was shrouded in a mysterious halo in Wei Wei's eyes.

Could it be that this man was truly the secret weapon her father had prepared to deal with the Li Family?

But judging from his actions since entering the manor, he really seemed like an ordinary young man who had grown up completely in the countryside!

Just as Wei Wei was contemplating these questions with a complicated mind, Ronan suddenly slammed on the brakes.

"Ouch!"

The young lady in the back seat was thrown forward by inertia. Fortunately, the seatbelt held her back, but she still almost hit the driver's corpse!

Wei Wei's face turned pale with fright and fear. "What on earth are you doing?"

Ronan looked back and calmly assessed, "No road ahead."

Ahead was a valley, not very deep, about a hundred meters down to the bottom.

Driving the Destroyer into it would undoubtedly be a dead end.

"Then what do we do?" This wasn't the first time Wei Wei had encountered an assassination attempt, but it was the first time she had encountered such a serious situation.

Everyone was dead, leaving only herself and this young man she had just met a few days ago.

Nominally, she should call him cousin; but everyone said he was her fiancé.

The pressure from the mysterious assassins, the eerie atmosphere in this extreme environment, all made her feel a little breathless.

In the darkness, she felt a sense of helplessness.

However, at this moment, a hand gently held hers:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Ronan's tone was as calm as ever.

Wei Wei felt her cheeks burning.

How could he be so frivolous? Even with the current special circumstances, he shouldn't just grab her little hand without permission.

The girl's mind was in a mess. For a moment, she actually forgot about the pursuers behind them.

She only remembered secretly resenting Ronan's rudeness, but what made her even more uneasy was that Ronan's voice had actually calmed her down from her state of panic.

His voice seemed to have a kind of magic that could put people at ease.

She had a thousand words in her heart, but in the end, they only turned into a soft, naive murmur:

"Okay."

Ronan had no idea what this young lady was thinking.

He had to soothe Wei Wei's emotions now because he needed her help!

"Not much magic left... Last time, to avoid the tiger's detection, Noah sealed almost all of my witchcraft."

"Although Danger Perception and Night Vision are solidified spells, they still consume energy. When the pursuers catch up later, it will probably be difficult to fight them."

Ronan was also a little anxious.

Today's ambushers were definitely not ordinary people; they would probably find this place very soon!

He alone might not be their match!

Because he had no weapons.

If he had even the most outdated mech, he would be confident in taking out the killers behind them, but unfortunately, he didn't. In the current situation, he could probably only hide until the rescue from Yi Lin Manor arrived.

Thinking of this, he could only grit his teeth and say:

"What's the extraction code for this car?"

"Huh?" Wei Wei was very strange as to why Ronan would ask such a question.

"Quickly, we don't have much time."

"We have to abandon this car and hide it because they will track us by the radiation trace of the Primal Stone – if they are equipped with enough radiation detectors. I need you to provide the extraction code for this Destroyer to remove the Primal Stone from the car."

Ronan's speaking speed was fast, and there was a hint of anxiety in his voice.

Wei Wei stammered, "The code... the code is my birthday..."

Ronan almost broke down!

What on earth was in this woman's head?!

Who cared about her birthday?!

He needed the password!

Fortunately, Wei Wei seemed to realize her mistake. How could Ronan possibly know her birthday?

"1030."

Beep beep beep!

Along with the mechanical sound of the password being entered, a green crystal slowly rose from the power cabin. From its color, about one-third of the Primal Power within had been extracted.

This was a top-grade Primal Stone. The Earl's family truly deserved to be the number one mining group in the Emerald Star Region. A similar Primal Stone was enough to equip a mech, but here it was being used to equip a private car.

However, for Ronan, the higher the grade of the Primal Stone, the better!

He started the Destroyer again and drove into the dense forest nearby, stopping in a place with thick bushes.

Then he grabbed the Primal Stone and quickly said to Wei Wei, "Get out of the car!"

His voice was beyond question!

The two got out of the car in a hurry. Ronan pointed to the other side of the dense forest:

"You hide over there!"

Wei Wei was stunned!

Ronan shook the Primal Stone in his hand and explained, "They will follow me."

"The reinforcements from the manor will arrive in three minutes at most. You'll be safe then."

Wei Wei's heart was in turmoil. She didn't want to walk alone in the dark, and even less did she want Ronan to sacrifice himself for her.

At this moment, she suddenly felt how ridiculous her previous unreasonable behavior had been.

Since Ronan had entered Yi Lin Manor, he hadn't done anything to offend her.

It was all outside rumors.

Other people's opinions, her best friend's teasing, made her angry and embarrassed.

In her heart, she had already decided that Ronan was a scoundrel, a bumpkin, a toad who wanted to eat swan meat.

But it was such a man who, at the critical moment, was preparing to sacrifice himself!

She was so moved she almost cried.

Ronan didn't have so many emotions. He just said coldly:

"I won't die. Don't overthink it either. Hurry up and find a place to hide over there."

With that, he didn't even bother with Wei Wei, and directly took the Primal Stone and ran towards the depths of the valley.

Not far away, the rumbling sound of motors arrived instantly.

Wei Wei didn't have time to think and could only follow the direction Ronan pointed, hiding deep into the dense forest.
