Chapter 2256
Night of Destiny
Willow sat in the car and absentmindedly opened a link sent by her archaeology teacher. To her great
surprise, they had finally found the remains of an ancient civilization they had been searching for.
âWilly, we will organize a secret archaeological expedition when youâre back.â
She replied, âOkay, Mr. Swayze. I canât wait already!â âThereâs no need to rush since Iâm still making
preparations. Youâll be able to catch up when youâre back.â
âOkay!â She happily sent a smiling face emoji and looked out of the window, enjoying the beauty of the
scenery.
Just then, a car suddenly accelerated from behind and rammed into her vehicle. âAh!â she screamed in
fright as the intense impact made her heart race. âMr. Mooney, whatâs happening?â
âMiss, Presgrave, hold on tight. Unidentified vehicles are approaching us.â Dario Mooney immediately
stabilized the car and radioed the other two cars in their earpieces. âQuickly stop them. Donât let them
get close to my car. Iâll escort Miss to safety first.â
âYou go ahead. Weâll hold them off.â One of the bodyguardâs cars behind them swiftly swerved and
intercepted the black car that had just rammed into them. The bodyguards approached to inspect it but
found it empty. The car turned out to be automated.
His countenance changed, and he immediately alerted the other members through the earpiece. âBe
careful. The vehicle that rammed into me was an automated one. They surely have other tricks up their
sleeves. Protect Miss Presgrave at all costs.â
Simultaneously, he did not notice the accelerating truck next to him. Jasper glanced at the opened car
door and also saw the automated vehicle. In contrast, he was not surprised at all because these people
were a group of highly intelligent criminals with advanced technology. They would do anything to
achieve their goals, explaining why he stayed behind to protect Willow.
As her bodyguards were unaware of the capabilities of these opponents, they were bound to make
some mistakes even if they were formidable. Once they made a mistake, she would be in grave
danger, even risking her life.
Willowâs heart was pounding even though she had encountered such situations before. Whoâs chasing
me? Did I offend someone? âDonât be afraid, Miss. Thereâs a police station up ahead. Iâll drive the car in
and request protection from the cops.â
âOkay, Mr. Mooney. Just focus on driving. Iâm not scared.â She steadied herself but held onto. her
seatbelt tightly, gripping the handle.
A black SUV was escorting a black sedan at high speed on the road. However, the SUV behind them
was suddenly hit by the oncoming truck just as they arrived at an intersection before it flipped over.
Willow heard the commotion behind her and cried in pain, âJaydenâ¦â
âMiss, hold on tight, Dario spoke in a deep voice. He had to get her to the police station as soon as
possible. Understanding that the opponents they encountered this time were not ordinary people, he
knew he had to escort her away safely.
As they approached the police station, Dario was about to drive toward it when four or five black SUVS
emerged and blocked their way. These vehicles caused a series of accidents, but it was clear that no
one was inside when they looked in from the windows. They were automated vehicles that had their
systems hacked.
At that point, those vehicles were stationed in their way, completely blocking the road.
Dario quickly realized the situation and shifted. into reverse, backing the car up as he had noticed an
alternative road earlier. However, a small truck drove up alongside them, and the window rolled down,
revealing the figure of Jasper. He sternly exclaimed, âHand her over to me.â
Jasper!â Willow was shocked to see him. Why is he here? Dario paid no attention to him because he
could not trust anyone with Willow at such a critical point. However, Jasperâs truck swerved, forcing
Darioâs car to a stop. He pushed open the door and said, âTheyâre after Willow because of me. Hand
her over to me for her safety.â
âNo, sheâs our honorable lady. I must ensure her safety,â Dario declared.
