Sophia glanced briefly at the woman before saying coldly, “Take her with us.”

Her subordinates reacted instantly and said, “Understood.”

Their movements were precise and swift, a direct result of countless hours of training. This was second nature to them.

But just as Sophia and her team piled into their cars, a harsh beam of light sliced through the darkness, coming from ahead.

Sophia’s brow furrowed in frustration, and her voice was sharp as she commanded, “Move!”

In an instant, several cars reversed and sharply veered off, their engines roaring as they shot forward like arrows released from a bow.

Katelyn and Vincent arrived just in time to see a convoy of over a dozen cars preparing to leave. Katelyn’s eyes widened in realization. “It’s them! They’re trying to escape!”

The computer feed had been cut off abruptly, but that wasn’t a problem. They had already picked up Sophia’s trail. Now, all that was left was to close the gap.

The winding mountain road demanded skilled driving to maintain speed, but Vincent didn’t care about any of this. He immediately floored the accelerator, his gaze cold and fixed on the cars in front of them.

Katelyn set the computer aside and swiftly pulled a pistol from the compartment, ready for whatever came next. She had been in Vincent’s car before and was well aware of where he kept his weapons.

Vincent warned gently, “Be careful.”

Katelyn replied with a brief nod. “Got it.”

Rolling down the window, she leaned forward, scanning the vehicles ahead. The gap between the front car and theirs remained wide. Her pistol simply didn’t have the range to reach it. Despite Vincent’s high-speed driving, it wasn’t enough to close the distance. What she needed was a more powerful weapon.

Vincent, sensing Katelyn’s frustration, gestured toward the back seat. “There are AK rifles under there.”

Although the AK was a weapon meant for short to medium range and had noticeable recoil, its range far outstripped that of her M9 pistol.

Katelyn, despite her slender frame, had no hesitation in reaching for the weapon. With a swift motion, she unbuckled her seatbelt and slid into the back seat. Her movements were smooth, almost effortless. Lifting the cushion from the seat, Katelyn revealed a hidden storage compartment packed with several AK rifles. She pulled out a few, arranging them carefully on the seat. In no time, she loaded each firearm with precision. Once everything was prepared, her focus returned to the car ahead.

Bang! As soon as her finger pressed the trigger, a bullet tore through the air, puncturing the tire of the car in front. The vehicle swerved uncontrollably. It was already hurtling at incredible speeds, and in an instant, the car careened off the cliff, its fate sealed.

A fleeting glance at the chaos unfolding behind her twisted Sophia’s expression into a mask of frustration. Despite being drenched in ice water just moments ago, she was now slick with sweat, her clothes clinging to her.

Sweat dripping from her brow, she snapped at the person in the back seat, “Give me a gun!”

Grabbing the weapon, she pointed it straight at Katelyn’s position, her finger twitching on the trigger. There were too many cars behind her. If she shot, she wouldn’t hit Katelyn, but her own team’s vehicles would be in danger. Sophia’s face darkened, and a fierce scowl appeared.

“Damn it!” Her face tightened with rage.

Katelyn stayed calm, her focus sharp as she targeted the next vehicle. She hit her target with unerring accuracy.
