once. “Ms. Garland, someone is blocking the road ahead. All of you get down. The rest of you prepare yourselves.”“Understood!” Mason’s subordinates replied simultaneously.Winnie had opened her eyes the moment Mason hit the brakes. She craned her neck a little to peek ahead. When she did that, the car blocking the road in front of them suddenly honked.The next moment, a man wearing a face mask and baseball cap poked his head out of the car window.Winnie narrowed her eyes and swiftly recognized that person.“Don’t worry. He’s one of us,” she announced to everyone inside the car, then whispered something next to Xavier’s ear.Xavier knitted his brows after listening to her, but he still opened the car door for her chivalrously.Seeing that Winnie and Xavier were about to get out of the car together, Jacinta quickly grabbed Winnie’s arm and uttered anxiously, “Where are you going, Winnie?”Winnie hurriedly consoled her, “I’m going down to take a look. It’ll be fine. That person is one of us. I’ll be right back. There won’t be any danger.”“Okay.” Only then did Jacinta let go of Winnie’s arm. “Be careful, then.”Winnie nodded. “I will.”With that, she hopped out of the car with Xavier trailing closely behind her.However, instead of moving forward, he stood beside the car and waited for her while helping her keep an eye on the surroundings.Winnie strode toward the car in front of her.Before she even reached the vehicle, the door to the passenger seat was pushed open by someone inside the car, hinting at her to be their guest.Quickly, she got into the car.“Captain Bennett, what are you doing here at this hour? Isn’t it risky for you to do this?” Winnie asked Christopher, who was sitting in the driver’s seat.Even though he was wearing a face mask at that moment, she could still sense the faint hint of a smile dancing in his eyes.“It is a little inconvenient for me. That’s why I’m dressed like this. Although Zyon was not a significant figure, Harold will not let you all off the hook so easily after you killed so many of their members. I’m here to escort you all. All of you must leave Lightspring at once.”“Yes, you’re absolutely right. We should indeed leave this place after pulling off the rescue mission, but Rachel is very sick. We need to send her to a hospital now. Otherwise, I’m not sure how long she can survive.”“All right,” Christopher assented. “I’ll bring you all to the hospital now. You two follow my car while those mercenaries you hired should go on their separate way so as to not attract attention with our large numbers. I received news about Zyon’s fate earlier. Thank you for helping me to eliminate this huge trouble. Otherwise, the years of hard work by the organization would have gone down the drain.”“I’m glad that your effort is not wasted.” At the mention of Zyon, Winnie recalled Jacinta’s frightened appearance earlier. She frowned slightly and changed the topic of their conversation. “I’ll go and call them over. You should move your car. You’ve really scared us just now.”Christopher chuckled. “Do you get scared so easily? I doubt that.”Winnie grinned at him in silence and got out of the car.Rachel was swiftly transferred to Christopher’s car. After Winnie informed Mason of a few important matters, she got into Christopher’s car too.Christopher drove the car at high speed the entire way. Before long, they arrived in a different city, and the vehicle eventually stopped in front of a hospital.The hospital seemed to be relatively huge, but the larger the hospital they visited, the more worried Winnie felt. “Isn’t this hospital too conspicuous? Will Harold’s men track us down here?” Christopher replied confidently, “They won’t. This is General Kane’s territory. This place is different from the shambolic Lightspring. Harold wouldn’t dare to pursue you all the way here.”“Okay. I can rest assured if you say that,” Winnie said while supporting Rachel. “You should hurry up and leave. We can handle the rest.”Christopher grunted. Then he pondered briefly before saying to Xavier, “Keep her safe.”Xavier was momentarily stunned. With a frown, he said, “I know that without needing you to remind me.”That should have marked the end of the conversation, but Jacinta suddenly leaned forward and suggested,
