I Can
Benard gripped the steering wheel tightly and floored the accelerator, hoping to dodge the attacks.
Unfortunately, the Mafia continued to follow them.
When their car reached the highway, a convoy suddenly appeared. It formed a line before their car and attempted to intercept them.
"They sent so many people to ambush us!"
Harrison anxiously dialed Charles's number to ask for backup.
"Mr. Lierger…" Benard broke out in cold sweat.
"Hit them!" Daemon decisively ordered.
Unexpectedly, Derila said the same thing at the same time.
"But if we hit them, we—"
"Get out of my way!"
Frowning, Daemon was about to climb into the driver's seat. Yet, someone else beat him to it.
"What are you doing?"
Since Benard did not react, Derila pushed him away and squeezed into the front seat.
Given her petite size, it was not difficult for her to take over the driver's seat. On the other hand, Benard was forced to press himself against Harrison's body.
"Move aside now. It isn't a game, " Harrison yelled at Derila.
"You don't know what you are dealing with!"
Daemon frowned and wanted to pull Derila away.
At that moment, the car sped up, and its front wheels lifted from the ground. With that, the vehicle balanced on its hind wheels as it raced forward.
"Ah!" Benard could not help but shriek.
Even Harrison widened his eyes as he watched the scene unfold in disbelief.
Daemon was slightly alarmed, and he looked at the lady in the driver's seat with an unfathomable expression.
Outside, the people in the convoy was at a loss.
They thought they could stop Daemon if they formed a line to block his car. Little did they expect that the vehicle would speed up and head for them like a wrecking ball.
Boom!
Before they knew it, the silver Maybach landed on the ground swiftly after breaking through the barrier and spun around, as though Daemon and the rest were declaring their victory to them.
With a smirk, Derila stuck out her thumb at their pursuers and turned it downwards before she sped off.
The convoy wanted to continue their chase. However, they had to turn their cars around first. By the time they did that, the Maybach was already out of their sight.
It was as though the Maybach traveled at the speed of light as it disappeared silently into the night.
Soon, they shook off their pursuers.
Minutes had passed, but Benard was still staring at Derila in shock.
Harrison was also in disbelief. "W-Who the heck are you?"
It was the same question on Daemon's mind too.
"I don't know either, " Derila casually answered. "If you know anything about my background, remember to tell me."
"Huh?" Benard gave her a puzzled look.
"I almost forgot you lost your memories."
After Harrison managed to regain his composure, he climbed into the backseat.
"I'm impressed by your driving skills, " Daemon finally spoke. He sounded calm and emotionless.
There was only a slight change in his gaze when he looked at Derila.
"It's all right." Then, Derila narrowed her eyes and glanced at the rearview mirror. "Ugh, they are back!"
Instantly, Harrison and Benard held up their guns and prepared to shoot.
At the same time, Derila stepped on the accelerator and prepared to shake them off when she noticed oil leaking from the hind wheels.
Their car probably got shot during the pursuit. Luckily, it was a good car, and it could still hold up temporarily. Given the urgency earlier, they did not notice it.
However, now that the oil tank was leaking, it was unlikely that they could travel for a long distance.
Derila made a quick decision and started to drive up the mountain.
"What are you trying to do?" Harrison questioned.
"There are only a few of us, and two of our wheels are down. Do you think we can get rid of them on the highway?"
"If we can't escape from them on the highway, how would we do that on a mountain?" Benard was more confused than ever.
"We can do it." Confidently, Derila continued to explain, "They have yet to complete the construction of the road on this mountain, and there are no lights here. If I turn off our headlights, they will find it hard to follow us."
"If you turn off the headlights, how will you drive?" Harrison cautiously pointed out.
"You can't do it, but I can."
