“Where exactly are you going?” 

Thave a car endorsement event in Valegrad,” I replied, mentioning the city that was as beautiful as it was trodded 

His expression darkened immediately. 

Valegrad? That place has been a hotbed for trouble recently, Bandits, unrest… it’s not safe. You can’t go there?” 

I sighed, already anticipating his reaction. 

“The contract’s already signed, Leo. I can’t back out just because it’s risky. I’ll be fine.” 

Leo was quiet for a moment before picking up his phone. 

“BETA, I need a few warriors deployed immediately. I want them to escort Elizabeth during her trip,” he ordered curtly. 

Though I appreciated his thoughtfulness, I could see how reluctant he was to let me go. 

His hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as we approached the airport, his jaw clenched with unspoken worry. 

Still, he said nothing as he parked the car. Instead, his eyes spoke volumes, a mixture of concern and determination as I unbuckled my seatbelt. 

As we arrived at the terminal, I saw the warriors Leo had summoned already waiting for me. 

They 

They stood tall in their combat gear, their stance rigid, ready for duty. 

However, I didn’t miss the disdain in their eyes, hidden beneath the surface. 

“Luna,” one of them greeted me with a curt nod, his voice cold and formal. 

The other didn’t even bother to meet my gaze. 

I asked them about the security arrangements for the trip, but their responses were indifferent, as if this task was beneath them. 

I could sense their contempt, as if they believed guarding me wasn’t worth their time. 

Ignoring their attitudes, I boarded the plane and settled into my seat. 

The flight to Valegrad was uneventful, but once we landed, I received word that the event had been delayed by a few hours. 

Deciding to make use of the time, I turned to the warriors. 

“Well head to the bank first.” 

The two warriors exchanged annoyed glances, but nodded. 

“Of course, Luna,” one of them said with a thinly veiled impatience. 

We piled into the car, the driver weaving through the busy streets of Valegrad.

After a quick stop at the bank to exchange currency, something began to feel off. 

I glanced into the rearview mirror and frowned. 

That car’s been following us since we left the bank,” I muttered. 

The warriors exchanged looks, one of them scoffing. 

“You’re being paranoid. There’s no threat. We’re here, aren’t we?” 

But the other warrior wasn’t as dismissive. 

He leaned forward, his eyes narrowing at the sight of the old, battered jeep tailing us. 

she’s right. Something’s off. We need to lose them.” 

Before I could process his words, the jeep behind us suddenly sped up, swerving in front of us and forcing our driver to slam on the brakes. 

The car jerked violently, my face slamming into the seat in front of me as panic surged through my veins. 

Two figures jumped out of the jeep, both armed and moving with a dangerous precision. 

My heart raced as they approached, their rifles gleaming in the midday sun. 

One of them smashed the passenger–side window with the butt of his rifle, the glass shattering with a deafening crash. 

“Out! Unless you want to try the special silver bullets in my barrel.” the first man barked, his voice harsh and full of malice. “Give us the money, now? 

I froze, my heart pounding in my ears as they ripped the car door open, yanking my bag from my lap. 

The second man, taller and more menacing, pointed his gun at me, his eyes cold and threatening. 

“Everything!” he snarled. 

Fear clenched my throat, but I fought to keep my composure despite of being robbed like this for the first time. 

My hand instinctively hovered over my belongings, knowing there was no reasoning with men like this. 

In the eyes of these robbers, it was clear that due to the remote location, robbing outsiders like us would have no real consequences. 

To them, we were the perfect targets. Easy prey. 

The warriors sitting In the front, one in the driver’s seat and the other in the passenger seat, subtly tried to reach for their weapons beneath their seats without making any sudden moves. 

But the robbers, alert to any shift, noticed. 

Instantly, cold gun barrels were pressed against their heads.
