| heard a loud crash behind us, followed by two explosions.
Despite the impact, the car continued to move forward steadily. Dylan slapped the steering wheel and breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did | open my eyes. The crossroad we had just narrowly crossed was now engulfed in flames, with the sound of exploding
cars becoming more distant by the moment.
| could feel Atlas's arm tightly around mine, which was relaxed slightly. He nervously asked, "Chloe, are you okay?"
"I'm not—"
Before | could finish my sentence, there was a sharp, cracking sound. My body immediately lurched to the left with a tremendous
bang.
Atlas blocked my body with a powerful arm, wrapped another hand around my waist, and his head slammed against the car
window.
| felt his hand loosen slightly for a little second. However, as soon as he realized it, he pulledback into his embrace.
| clung tightly to his body, shivering from dread.
"Atlas... are you okay?" | asked quickly.
"I'm fine! It's nothing to worry about!" Luckily, the car window was sturdy and probably made of bulletproof glass. Otherwise, he
would have been in danger with that impact.

Otherwise, it would have taken less tto get there.
However, | discovered at this exact moment that, although we thought we had shaken off the tail, more cars were coming after us.
Several more cars appeared, relentlessly pursuing us.

"Don't be afraid; support will be here soon!" Atlas comforted me, then said to Dylan, "Hold on, head toward Fifth Avenue! There will
be support there!"
"Got it!" Dylan responded loudly.

| thought that maybe Grandpa was right—his place was the safest.
He wouldn't target his grandson and great-grandson, would he? But could it be that he was warning his grandson?
No, that couldn't be!
Helplessly shaking my head, | whispered in Atlas's ear, "Atlas, does Grandpa know that Celine wants to take action?"
"It's not Celine!" Atlas said it firmly.
Bang!
| screamed, feeling a faint sense of falling in my stomach.
"...Atlas!"
"Don't be afraid; hold ontotightly!" Atlas shouted.
At that moment, | heard a voice from his Bluetooth in his ear.
