After that weird, tense breakfast at Margaret's inn, the four of them hit the road again. Dave was driving, Jimmy was riding shotgun, and Milla and Serena were in the back seat. The car was silent, just the hum of the engine and a faint breeze from the slightly open window. That silence broke when Serena, who'd been restless, couldn't hold back her complaints anymore."Dave," Serena snapped, sounding really annoyed. "You've got some nerve, seriously. I mean, why did we even eat that breakfast? We could've all gotten poisoned! Especially after that 'herbal' drink this morning, and Margaret's stories about 'disappearing' guests. You're really risking things unnecessarily." Serena fired off her complaint. She was here for information, not to die for nothing.In a tense situation like this, Dave's nonchalance about the danger really pissed her off. Serena felt like her life was on the line. Like bringing them along was a bad call.Dave didn't turn around. He stayed focused on the road ah

Dave didn't answer the question directly. He just offered a small smile. Dave gently patted Andy's shoulder. "I'm Dave."Andy still stared at Dave in utter disbelief. Dave's sudden healing act was just too bizarre. Completely beyond what he could comprehend. He’d never seen anything like it in his entire life.Andy bolted. This guy was dangerous. He wanted nothing more to do with him. Andy tried to make a break for it. He spun around, took off running, as fast as his legs could carry him, without a single glance back.But no matter where Andy ran, Dave was always there, cutting him off. When Andy darted down a narrow alley, Dave was already waiting at the other end.When Andy tried to scale a wall, Dave was already perched on top of it, blocking his way. Dave was always one step ahead, always appearing right in front of him, silently, like a ghost.Andy started to truly panic. A raw, visceral fear clawed at him. This was crazy. This guy was crazy. "Go! Get lost! Stop following me!" An

Serena followed Dave. She knew this was crazy, but she couldn't let Dave go alone. She was worried. Whether it was a journalist's concern about losing an important source, or perhaps another bond beginning to form, she couldn't say.Carefully, Serena slipped out of her room. Milla and Jimmy were already sound asleep. She grabbed her jacket, tied her hair back, and sneaked out of the inn. Outside, the darkness of Red Village was incredibly thick. There were no streetlights, just towering silhouettes of trees.She tried to track Dave. It wasn't easy. Dave moved like a shadow. Serena relied only on intuition and the general direction Dave had gone. She moved along the quiet village roads, past tightly shut houses.However, she got caught by the night. The deeper she went into the forest on the edge of the village, the denser the darkness became. Thick trees swallowed the moonlight, and the path she was following became increasingly unclear. She was lost.Serena pulled out her phone. She

Andy followed Dave. They returned to Margaret's inn. The atmosphere there was still quiet. Serena and Jimmy were waiting in the lobby, their faces anxious.When Serena saw Andy walking behind Dave, her eyes widened in shock. She knew who Andy was. John Clark's son."Dave! What the hell is this?!" Serena yelled, her voice filled with fury. "Why are you bringing that murderer here?!" Serena pointed at Andy. "He's John Clark's son! He's involved! He helped his father! They're all involved in human trafficking!"Andy looked down, not daring to meet Serena's gaze. Dave sighed. He knew this was coming. "Calm down, Serena. He's not a murderer. He's a victim.""A victim? Are you insane?" Serena scoffed. "How can you believe him after everything we've seen?""I've made sure," Dave said, his tone firm. "He's not involved. He knew about his father's crimes, but he didn't participate." Dave then briefly explained what he had found. About Andy being unaware, and how he was a witness to all his fat

Matteo rushed into the armored car, stomping his feet. His personal vehicle was designed to withstand even the most deadly explosions and bullets.The engine rumbled softly. Matteo was confident; he could escape. His base might be compromised, but he had plenty of other hideouts, and most importantly, he had his valuable assets. He would survive.His personal driver, Ivan, drove skillfully. The armored car sped out of the underground base onto a private road. He looked back, a satisfied smile spreading across his lips. Dave might be strong, but he was no match for Matteo's flawless organization.However, his smile vanished in a flash.Ivan suddenly groaned. "Boss!" his voice cut through the tension-filled air. "Someone jumped onto our car! He's on the roof!"Matteo was shocked. How could this be? He peered into one of the internal monitoring screens connected to external cameras. His eyes instantly widened. There, on top of the car, was a silhouette. Dave. Impossible! This car was spe
