Chapter 209

After parting ways with Callum, Elysia wandered the streets, lost in thought and deeply troubled.

The situation with Winona weighed heavily on her mind.

Winona hadn’t left the country, she might not even have left Jindale City, and now even her agent was unreachable.

These odd circumstances all pointed to one homifying conclusion: Winona was in trouble!

Images flashed through Elysia’s mind, unbidden and terrifying…..

Dark, filthy basements hidden away from the light of day.

Disfigured performers on the stage of a bustling cereus.

Cold merciless iron cages.

Bleached bones scattered across desolate wildemess.

Even girls being trafficked to the Myan District…

Each image sent shivers down Elysia’s spine. She was already faint hearted, getting scared for months on end by a single horror movie. Now, with these gruesome images flooding her mind, she was petrified.

She tried to reassure herself, “Winona’s fine, Winona’s fine, stay calml But no matter how much she tried to convince herself, the terrifying images kept surging forward…

“Screech-

“Honk! Honk! Honk!“:

A black sedan suddenly swerved towards the guardrail, cousing other vehicles to slam on their brakes in a panic!

People honked their homs in frustration, cursing, “Leam how to drive, psychol “If you wanna die, go do it somewhere elsel Domn, scared the hell outto me!”

Ignoring everything, the driver of the sedan, after failing to break through the guardrail on his first try, reversed and, with increased speed, crashed through it again!

Realizing the danger, bystanders yelled, “Lady, run! It’s dangerous!”

The roaring engine of the sedan and the shouts of the crowd snapped Elysia out of her daze.

Seeing the black sedan charging towards her, her eyes widened in terrori In her panic, she froze, unable to move.

Holding her breath, she watched the sedan approach, screaming in fright, “Aaah-

“Crash! Boom-”

A van suddenly appeared, slamming into the black sedan and leaving a huge dent in its side.

Realizing things weren’t going his way, the sedan’s driver tried to flee, turning the steering wheel frantically.

But the van didn’t give him a chance!

Backing up a few meters, it accelerated again, ramining into the sedan and sending it flying.

After tumbling through the air, the sedan crashed to the ground with a heavy thud The van didn’t stop there; it powered forward, pushing the sedan towards a tree until it was completely wrecked.

Passersby and drivers, forgetting to scream, stared in shock at the scene unfolding before them, as if they were watching a live–action Fast & Furious movie!

The driver of the sedan, his legs useless and covered in blood, lay unconscious in the wreck.

Tarquin glared at him before unbuckling his seat belt and calling Lowell, “Here, near the hospital on Minster Road Wake him up and get some answers before the cops show up!”

It was clear the driver was targeting Elysia, intending to kill her If Tarquin hadn’t received a call from Benjamin about Elijah waking up and decided to visit the hospital, Elysia might have ended up a casualty of the sedan’s rampage.

After giving his instructions, Tarquin hurried out of the van and ran towards Elysia.

Elysia stood frozen, pale as a ghost.

Tarquin approached. “Elysia!”

Elysia looked up, her face a picture of shock. She was already pale, but now she was even more so, Her lips trembled, unable to utter a sound.
