"My God. Is she looking for death?"
"That's so dangerous!"
"Doesn't she want to live anymore?"
"She's the leader of the hidden clan. Wouldn't Madam Hayley's plans be forgone if she dies?"
While everyone was having their discussions, Rory roared, "What are you all looking at? Hurry up and drive down the mountain to check on her." Then, everyone immediately got inside the cars to go after Veronica.
In the meantime, she was maneuvering the wobbling car. The Jeep was so shaky that she clutched tightly onto the steering wheel, but no matter how hard she stepped on the brakes, the Jeep would not slow down.
As the slope was extremely steep, Veronica felt like the car would flip over any moment as she sat inside. Just as she was thinking about that, the seemingly flat surface had a hole, causing the Jeep to ramp into it without prior knowledge of its existence since the grass was covering it. The car swayed and went out of control before it rolled down the mountain.
Bang! Bang! Clang! Clang! Clang—
While the car was crashing down the mountain, Veronica hit her head inside the car and felt dizzy from the impact. It truly felt as though the whole world was spinning. Even after reaching the asphalt road below, the car did not stop. Instead, it charged over the fence and toward the road below.
Inside the car, she had completely lost control of the vehicle. In the last moments of her life, she gave up, thinking that it would be better this way because if she died, she would never become Crayson's puppet. Perhaps, her death could be exchanged for Matthew's life.
Since the two were busy talking to each other, they did not notice Skyler and walked past him. At that moment, he suddenly turned around and took out two guns from behind him with both hands. With two shots, he fired the tranquilizer guns and rendered the two unconscious.
The anesthetic inside the darts was super strong, so the two immediately fell to the ground after getting hit.
"These are indeed handy. Roni is such a smart woman." Initially, Skyler had only brought his gun, but Veronica said that if they wanted to sneak inside the research center, the sound of guns firing would attract attention, so she asked him to bring tranquilizer guns instead.
Recalling his memory of the research center's map, he quickly dragged the two inside the bathroom and took off their clothes. Following that, he changed into them and wore a hat before leaving.
He wanted to thank Tanya because she had set up an ambush outside the research center, so the gunfire had attracted the attention of many, causing fewer workers to stand guard inside the research center. At last, he arrived at the elevator's entrance and took it to the underground laboratory.
