Chapter 1232 Departure in the Dead of Night
"What should we do next?" I anxiously grabbed him. "If Navi goes back, won't he be in even more danger?"
"Don't worry, we have the next step of the plan. Once we find him, we'll rescue him! Then we'll collaborate from inside and out," Atlas said.
"But what if... we can't find him?" I gulped nervously.
Atlas pondered for a moment. "It seems we'll have to head to the base too."
He turned to Cane and said, "Get ready to leave!"
Cane immediately turned and left. Atlas asked me to call Anya.
I hurriedly went to Anya's room, but she was already asleep.
I woke her, "Anya, wake up. We're leaving!"
Anya woke up, staring at me blankly. Her little look was adorable.
I said softly, "We're leaving for the base!"
She looked at me with some confusion. She quickly got up and followed me out of the room after putting on her clothes.
Atlas handed Anya a set of clothes and shoes to change into outside the room.
Atlas took me back to the room and took out a set of dark combat uniforms for me to change into. He told me not to bring anything else as we would return here.
He also put the dress I wore tonight in a pocket.
Then he took me and Anya out of the villa and got into the car.
Cane took the wheel and sped off, making our way toward the suburbs. Soon, we were far away from the city. The road conditions were quite dark, with poor road construction and dense forests on both sides.
I looked back and saw another car closely following us.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Atlas turned back and said to us, "You two should get some sleep! I'll call you if there's anything."
I couldn't see anything outside because the car was moving fast, and the dark forests were receding behind us. Resting instead of enduring this would be better, as it was hard to predict what would happen next.
I pulled Anya and said to her, "Let's sleep!"
Anya signaled for me to lie down, and I shook my head. Arnold was right; no matter what, she was still a child. How could I let a child take care of me?
She became anxious. "Madam, I've already slept. It's okay! You sleep!"
With that, she pulled me to lie down. I was a bit tired. I gave up resisting and unwillingly lay down because I hadn't slept properly the past few days. As the car swayed slightly, I quickly fell asleep.
I had no idea how long I had been asleep when suddenly, the brakes came on hard, startling me. I suddenly sat up and gawked around.
I was uneasy as I heard yelling around. I saw Cane calmly opening the car door and getting out.
It was very dark outside, but the people intercepting us held flashlights or similar lighting tools, constantly shining them into the car.
Just then, the vehicle behind us
snapped on its headlights, sending a
bright light beam in our direction. At that moment, I had a clear view of the surroundings outside the vehicle.

A group of locals intercepted our vehicle at night. It was obvious that they weren't good people.
Atlas was still sitting in the car, looking somewhat grim.
I heard Cane Speaking fluent Cirencester's language to them, but those people continued to shout. Some of them even knocked on the car windows, indicating that they wanted the people in the car to get out. Content belongs to

I looked back at the car behind us, which was also surrounded, and the people inside were holding weapons.
Atlas turned to me, saying, "Stay seated, and don't move! Stay inside!"
Then he opened the car door and got out.
I became very anxious as I watched Atlas who had exited the car. He uttered a loud word, and those people quickly stopped talking and turned to stare at Atlas. Content

The people in the car behind us also got out. They shoved those people, rushing to Atlas's side to protect him.
Atlas said something in Cirencester's language, his voice not loud but highly prating.
Anya gripped me firmly while gazing at Atlas. She understood what they were saying, but she couldn't translate it for me at the moment. Suddenly, I saw a gun pointed at Atlas's head...
