Chapter 944 Skyler Gets Ambushed
"My God. Is she looking for death?"
"That's so dangerous!"
"Doesn't she want to live anymore?"
"She's the leader of the hidden clan. Wouldn't Madam Hayley's plans be forgone if she dies?"
While everyone was having their discussions, Rory roared, "What are you all looking at? Hurry up and
drive down the mountain to check on her." Then, everyone immediately got inside the cars to go after
Veronica.
In the meantime, she was maneuvering the wobbling car. The Jeep was so shaky that she clutched
tightly onto the steering wheel, but no matter how hard she stepped on the brakes, the Jeep would not
slow down.
As the slope was extremely steep, Veronica felt like the car would flip over any moment as she sat
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtinside. Just as she was thinking about that, the seemingly flat surface had a hole, causing the Jeep to
ramp into it without prior knowledge of its existence since the grass was covering it. The car swayed
and went out of control before it rolled down the mountain.
Bang! Bang! Clang! Clang! Clang—
While the car was crashing down the mountain, Veronica hit her head inside the car and felt dizzy from
the impact. It truly felt as though the whole world was spinning. Even after reaching the asphalt road
below, the car did not stop. Instead, it charged over the fence and toward the road below.
Inside the car, she had completely lost control of the vehicle. In the last moments of her life, she gave
up, thinking that it would be better this way because if she died, she would never become Crayson's
puppet. Perhaps, her death could be exchanged for Matthew's life.
However, Veronica had the lucky stars on her side. Just as she thought about her death, the car
stopped on the second-level asphalt road and luckily handed on its four wheels. Therefore, the car only
shook fiercely before steadily landing on the ground.
The airbag was shot out, and though she suffered a few cuts on her cheeks and arms from the broken
windows, she was relatively fine. She was dizzy from the tumbling and shaking, so it took her a while to
regain her senses.
Using her dagger to cut a hole in the airbag, she then continued driving. Fortunately, only the windows
on both sides of the car were broken, and the back roof had collapsed. There was also a hole on the
right side of the windshield and a few scratches on the left, but she could still drive it.
Veronica felt her whole body aching, but she was more worried about Matthew, so she started the
engine and discovered that the car could still move after trying it out. After composing herself, she paid
no heed to the injuries and pain in her body and drove straight forward. Matt, wait for me!
At the secret research center in the west zone, Skyler had separated from the others. They fell into
Tanya's ambush and suffered a heavy loss, but he managed to use his abilities to escape from the
enemy and successfully entered the research center.
Inside, he met with two workers, who were wearing suits and name tags around their necks. He did not
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmrecognize the words on the nametag, but he could tell that those two had high positions.
Since the two were busy talking to each other, they did not notice Skyler and walked past him. At that
moment, he suddenly turned around and took out two guns from behind him with both hands. With two
shots, he fired the tranquilizer guns and rendered the two unconscious.
The anesthetic inside the darts was super strong, so the two immediately fell to the ground after getting
hit.
"These are indeed handy. Roni is such a smart woman." Initially, Skyler had only brought his gun, but
Veronica said that if they wanted to sneak inside the research center, the sound of guns firing would
attract attention, so she asked him to bring tranquilizer guns instead.
Recalling his memory of the research center's map, he quickly dragged the two inside the bathroom
and took off their clothes. Following that, he changed into them and wore a hat before leaving.
He wanted to thank Tanya because she had set up an ambush outside the research center, so the
gunfire had attracted the attention of many, causing fewer workers to stand guard inside the research
center. At last, he arrived at the elevator's entrance and took it to the underground laboratory.
