Chapter 647

Meanwhile, Joyce flashed into a private room from the corridor on the

third floor, then from the back door on the other side of the private

room, into another corridor. Finally, she went along the usual delivery

channel and got directly down to the backyard on the first floor.

She had previously studied the architectural drawings of the interior of

Riveria Haze carefully in order to set Charlotte up, which Karl had given

her. She did it just to have a quick retreat just in case, and she didn't

expect it to really come in handy.

Riveria Haze was so big inside that they would not be able to find her

for a while.

When she got to the backyard, she saw Karl's car parked right there.

She rushed over, opened the passenger door and got in quickly.

"Sorry, I'm late for a few minutes. What..."

Before Joyce could finish her words, Karl had already slammed down

the gas pedal, not even waiting for Joyce to fasten her seat belt.

With a swoosh he turned the car around sharply and drove out of

Riveria Haze.

His expression was extraordinarily grave, and his handsome face now

looked extremely serious. His long eyebrows was deeply furrowed. It

was obviously not something the word urgency could describe.

Joyce's body lurched straight forward because of inertia.

Karl extended his arm in time to block Joyce, "Sorry, we don’t have

much time. Hurry up and fasten your seat belt."

He said as he drove the car onto the expressway.

Joyce fastened her seat belt and felt Karl's extraordinarily depressed

mood, so she hurriedly expressed her concern, "What's wrong?"

"Joyce, something big has happened. Just now, the analysis center in

Khebury has been blown up. Fortunately, it's a weekend, otherwise I

don't dare to think how many lives would have been lost. The news

should have come out already. Read it for yourself!"

"What!" Joyce hurriedly opened her phone and clicked into a news app.

Sure enough, the headlines had been all about the explosion.

"Creekbay Forensic Center Exploded At Twelve With Unknown

Casualties.”

As a rule of thumb, the fewer words they used, the more serious the

situation must be.

"Damn, I underestimate him." Karl bit his lower lip, “I happened to have

some business to attend to today and sent Victor to pick up the results.

I didn't expect something like this."

"Victor?! And where is he?" Joyce was taken aback and turned her

head to stare straight at Karl. Her heartbeat raced as she suddenly

realized that the whole thing had risen to another level.

Karl sighed heavily, “We still don’t know whether he’s alive!"

Joyce was stunned and at this time he abruptly turned the wheel and

went to another off-ramp.

He continued, "We won't go the main roads this time so as not to reveal

our whereabouts. I am worried that Ricky might try to harm you.

Perhaps someone had already been waiting for you at Riveria Haze, or

perhaps someone would be sent to assassinate you. That's why I was

in such a hurry to pick you up after I learned about the explosion.”

"After all, you're in the light and they're in the dark." He accelerated

once again.

Joyce had some difficulty digesting what she heard.

"Are you saying that Ricky is behind this?!"

She could hardly believe that Ricky could be so ruthless. After all, he

was in the military, so how could he do something so reckless? He

must have known the consequences of the explosion. It was nothing

short of a terrorist attack.

"There is no one else but him." Karl affirmed, "He must have learned

about our purchase of the AWM gun through special channels. I just

didn't expect that he would dare to blow up the laboratory just in order

to destroy the evidence of his crime. The staff in the lab must have all

been killed, and the AWM must have been destroyed. We can't reach

Victor now, but I think...”
