Chapter 472


    Before Anna could even speak, she saw a motorcycle racing towards them from behind, the rider


    wielding a baseball bat. As it closed in, the bat smashed against the rear car window with a vicious


    swing.


    Anna shielded herself with her arm and yelled, "Hit the gas, now!"


    Keh snapped to attention and floored the elerator, speeding forward.


    The car was a top-of-the-line sports model, yet to their astonishment, the motorcycle clung to their tail,


    relentlessly hammering at the window.


    Although Aaron had learned a bit of self-defense from Mark, he was no match for actualbat. He

    could only huddle behind his school bag, yelling at Keh, "Can''t you go any faster?!"


    "This is as fast as she goes, dammit!" Keh was more terrified of the ss shards flying towards


    them than anything else; they could ruin his good looks!


    Anna tried to open the door to fight back, but it was so badly bent it would not budge.


    With a powerful kick, she shattered the car door window, steadied herself by grabbing the grab handle,


    and leaned out. Her lithe body delivered a kick that sent the pursuing motorcyclist tumbling into the


    roadside greenery, bike and all.


    Keh was dumbstruck for a moment. "You could''ve just told me to retract the roof; this is a


    convertible!"


    Anna''s lips twitched with irritation, unable toprehend how their team leader could have such an


    idiotic brother.


    Aaron cursed and said, "Well, aren''t you going to open it now?"


    "Forget it," Anna said, leaning forward to push Keh''s head to the side while she grabbed the


    steering wheel. "Just drive!"


    Keh, reacting instinctively, mmed on the gas, and Anna executed a smooth right-hand drift.


    They had just rounded the corner when they heard the sound of another motorcycle crashing at the


    bend they''d left, with someone on the ground.


    "Damn, how many more are there?" Keh had not even seen the other motorcycle in pursuit.


    Anna, too annoyed to reply, turned to Aaron. "Send Ms. Vivienne our location!"


    Aaron quickly took out his phone and called Vivienne, informing her of their situation and location.


    The line was as chaotic as their own surroundings. "Handle it yourselves. Meet at the foot of Heaven''s


    Gate Mountain in 6 miles!" Vivienne hung up without another word.


    Heaven''s Gate Mountain was andmark in Rivenwood, situated well beyond the city''s outer ring.


    And that was precisely where she was headed now.


    "Vivienne, take a left and pick me up," Percivalmanded as he opened her car door and nimbly


    hopped out.


    Knowing exactly what to do, Vivienne spun the steering wheel sharply to the left, skidding the car


    around to stop right beside Percival.


    By then, Percival had already kicked two pursuers off their motorcycles and climbed into the car.


    There was a brief silence. Gripping the handle tightly, Percival’s face was dark with anger.


    No gun. It was a terrible feeling.


    He had been suspended from duty, his gun and badge confiscated. Faced with this sudden attack,


    there was no time to notify the Vanguard Agency.


    He finally got a moment to call Thomas, instructing him to rendezvous at Heaven''s Gate Mountain


    without bringing any team members.


    Vivienne nced at the wreckage of several motorcycles behind them.


    Just ten minutes earlier, on their way to meet Anna, several motorcycles had suddenly appeared, riders


    brandishing bats and charging at them.


    This had been a premeditated ambush, not a tail. Otherwise, neither she nor Percival would have


    missed it.


    The real question was how these ambushers knew where to find them, especially when she had only


    learned of the location herself at thest minute.


    Vivienne''s piercing gaze shed with icy determination.


    There was a traitor within the Nine Mystics Society!


    Only a handful of people knew her real-time whereabouts: Anna, Matthew, and the man she had


    summoned near.


    After theirst botched operation at Easke Bay, she had suspected a leak.


    At first, she thought it might be someone from the Vanguard Agency, but now it seemed like the Nine


    Mystics Society had its own share of trouble.


    The Nine Mystics Society was her creation; she had never anticipated betrayal!


    She had trusted every member of the Nine Mystics Society implicitly. Who could it be?


    Matthew''s call came in just then, and the sound of an explosion was audible on the other end.


    "Vivienne, we''ve been ambushed. Several are hurt. How''s your situation?"


    "Take care of yourself."


    "Alright. I''ve sent Master Miller to your location. I''ll handle this mess and head over."


    After hanging up, Vivienne tossed her phone to Percival. "Matthew''s in trouble, too."


    Percival opened the phone and located Quincy''s secure contact details.


    Quincy responded quickly. [No idea. I was following the real-time location, too.]


    Percival was certain there were no trackers on him or Vivienne, and their phones were not bugged.


    That meant the leak had to be with Anna''s group.


    He immediately messaged Anna, [Turn off allmunication devices!]


    He followed up with a string of codes, intelligible only to Anna.


    Upon receiving the message, Anna instructed Aaron and Keh to shut off their phones and then


    pulled up a location on the car''s navigation system. "Head here."


    Keh was bewildered, utterly confused by what was happening.


    "I thought we were headed to Heaven''s Gate Mountain!"


    Aaron and Anna snapped in unison, "Just go where you''re told!"


    Rubbing his head in confusion, Keh stopped asking questions.


    For the rest of the journey, Anna fended off their pursuers, but the road eventually cleared.


    She slumped into the back seat, breathing raggedly in the cramped space.


    It was only then that Keh found the chance to ask, "Who are these people after? Us or you?"


    "I haven''t got a clue," she admitted.


    Keh nced in the rear-view mirror, and his heart skipped a beat, nearly causing him to swerve off


    the road! New chаpter av?ble on Drаmanоvels.cом


    Aaron, gripping the handle, asked, "Are you sure you''ve got this?"


    Keh refocused on the road, "Sure, I''ve got this. Totally got this!"


    The ''totally got this'' Keh finally managed to steer their car to the designated rendezvous point half


    an hourter.


    Back at Heaven''s Gate Mountain, the aroma of a barbecue street fair wafted through the air.


    Vivienne and Percival had arrived twenty-five minutes earlier and were already indulging in their fair


    share of grilled delights.


    Anna''s face was a mask of exasperation upon witnessing the scene.


    She had imagined that Vivienne and Percival would at least be catching their breath, if not as


    disheveled as she was.


    Instead, the pair seemed utterly unaffected by the day''s events, happily snacking away!
