Semua Bab Dead at Heart: Bab 791 - Bab 800

"Why?" Jayson asked.The guard replied, "I'm afraid I have to tell you that things over there are in complete chaos right now, with organized acts of terror. On top of that, it's a war zone."Jayson's eyes narrowed instantly, his brow furrowing. "Is it very bad?""Yes, Mr. Larkin. It's dangerous. I strongly advise against moving forward."The guard checked their position. "We're less than two miles away, and the area is being sealed off."At that moment, Jayson heard distant explosions that rattled his eardrums.Sealed off?That meant they could be trapped.His chest tightened and his expression darkened. "Hold on."He tried calling Ariel again, but there was still no answer.The unknown was too dangerous for him to take even a small risk.If Ariel was still there, she would be in serious danger and might even…Jayson pressed his lips together. Without wasting a second, he started contacting the embassy. He needed someone to intervene and ensure Ariel's safety.The embassy

The cars turned around and left.Ariel stared at the vehicle leading them. She had no idea where they were heading.But…She glanced at her colleague's not-so-smart phone and quickly sent real-time coordinates and route details to Jayson. For safety, she forwarded the details to Janice as well.Once they got back into an area with a signal, the messages would be sent automatically.…Janice had been in the first group evacuated. The chaos had left her no chance to find Ariel. She was restless with worry.Ariel's phone was dead. When Janice asked the officials in charge, they all gave the same response. "I'm sorry. We're still trying to establish contact and verify the situation. You'll be notified immediately once there's news.""So you're saying Ari might still be there?" Her breathing grew heavy, and her eyes reddened with panic.Her calf wound, injured during the hurried escape, started bleeding again from her anxiety. But she ignored the pain and kept asking the same quest

Ariel could only play it by ear.Following the man leading the way, she was brought to a nearby building. They went upstairs, and she couldn't help but notice how luxurious the place was. It was a stark contrast to Bellador's usual style.The gap between the rich and the poor here was staggering.Once Ariel stepped inside, the door closed behind her with a heavy thud.She frowned and turned, but before she could think further, she heard footsteps ahead.She spun around sharply, only to meet a familiar pair of eyes.Ariel's brow furrowed. "It's you?"The tall man before her wore dark casual clothes. He still had that same energy and striking good looks, but Ariel couldn't shake the feeling that there was something different about him—something she couldn't quite put into words.Samson looked at her, then turned to pour a glass of water. "If it weren't for me, you probably would've had a rough time with that man today."Ariel immediately thought of the man from the Nielsen famil

Jayson had managed to reach Janice once. From bits and pieces, he learned that Ariel wasn't with her. Worse, no one from Ariel's convoy had made contact since the chaos began.That was a terrible sign that made Jayson uneasy.Ahead, flames tore through the horizon. His hired security team had already split up to search.Ariel had that distinct Solarean look, and with her beauty, she would definitely stand out in a crowd.Jayson's expression was grim. This area was supposed to be a designated safe zone, yet it had turned into a battlefield. No one could have predicted it.The ground was covered in gravel. He kept checking his phone as he walked.There were plenty of places in the world suffering from turmoil, but he had no mind for any of it right now. All he wanted was to find Ariel, fast.Her health was fragile. She couldn't stand too much strain. He couldn't bear the thought of her suffering, not even a little.Just then, a sudden shot came from behind, aimed straight at Jays

Jayson knew the pilot had understood him. Glancing in the rearview, he gave a calm command to the bodyguard in the driver's seat. "Ten o'clock. Step on it."The bodyguard didn't flinch. He slammed the accelerator, pushing the car forward with precision.From behind, Gustavo realized Jayson was still trying to escape. Leaning out of the sunroof with a megaphone in hand, he called out, "Sir, it seems like you know why I'm here. How about we stop and talk?"He was enjoying the chase. Nothing thrilled him more than seeing someone cornered, especially someone as famous as Jayson.His name carried weight even in Isbell. Among the younger generation, only Jayson could make it onto major news outlets and prestigious rankings.Gustavo knew that Jayson had no way out.The latter had been betrayed by someone close. Gustavo thought Jayson must be feeling desperate.To be honest, if it weren't for Jayson, Gustavo probably wouldn't have realized just how much trouble Nancy had caused. What re
