The Three Little Guardian Angels
Chapter 744

Chapter 434 Catching Up

Although the object wasn't completely revealed, the driver could immediately recognize what it was. It was a gun!

These human traffickers actually had a gun!

The driver started trembling and stared at them with a pale face. Although he wanted to say something, his lips kept shaking. It was as if someone choked him because, at that moment, he couldn't make a sound.

"Come on, Dan. Stop wasting your time on him. He's scared out of his wits, so let's stop wasting time," Stan reminded them.

Right then, Dan nodded. "Fine. Let's go."

After that, he turned around and brought Sonia to reunite with Declan.

Upon seeing that they left, the driver finally sighed in relief and slumped to the ground. He patted his chest and felt grateful that he managed to make it out alive.

On the other hand, Declan waved his hand when he saw those Dan and Stan return with Sonia. "Let's go."

Then, all of them climbed over the guardrail and started heading up the mountain via a small trail.

A few moments after they left, Toby appeared next to the car they had abandoned. Staring at the empty van, he felt his heart drop.

Where are they? Why is nobody here? The van that didn't have a number plate is definitely this van, but no one is inside anymore.

Toby's face turned cold as he clenched his fists. After rushing over at full speed, he thought that he could finally see Sonia, but all that was left was just an empty car. Bang!

Toby couldn't suppress his anger any longer and slammed his fist on the van.

As he was being too forceful, he left a little dent on the car door of the van.

Immediately, the van's alarm started ringing, causing all the drivers stuck at the traffic jam to look out from their windows to see what was happening.

Right then, a fearful look flashed past the eyes of the driver behind the van. When he realized the van's alarm was blaring, he appeared rather conflicted.

Still, his kindness won over his hesitation in the end as he waved at Toby. "Hey, man!"

Toby turned around. "Are you calling for me?"

The driver nodded. "Are you here to rescue someone?"

Upon hearing that, Toby immediately came to a realization that the driver might know something, so he quickly walked over to the driver's car. "How do you know that I'm here to rescue someone?" "Well, you look really agitated and anxious, so I figure that you're here to rescue the girl that was taken by those human traffickers."

At this moment, Toby was sure that the girl that the driver referred to was Sonia.

Clenching his fists, he quickly asked, "That's right. She's my wife, and I'm here to rescue her. Do you know where they brought her?"

The car is here, but they're no longer present. I swear that prick, Declan, ditched the car because he's scared that we'll catch up! After all, no one can tell when the traffic will go back to normal.

"I don't know where they took her, but I saw them going in that direction." The driver pointed at the guardrail that Declan and the others climbed over.

Turning around, Toby had his eyes narrowed when he saw the mountain trail behind the guardrail.

That trail definitely leads them to the mountain. Looks like they took the mountain trail.

"Alright. Thank you for your help. I'll be sure to repay you for this." After saying that, Toby glanced at the driver's car plate number and noted it down before taking his phone out. While he jumped over the guardrail, he started making a call as he ran.

The call was connected in no time, and Carl's voice rang out. "I know what you want to say. I'm already trying to strengthen the phone number's line, but the signal in the woods is extremely weak and might ge cut off easily. Once I'm done, I'll send you Declan's location."

Carl knew that Declan and the others ditched the van and went into the mountain. After all, he overheard their conversation through Declan's man's phone.

Hearing Carl, Toby finally stopped worrying and hung up because he could already guess that Carl was a hacker and was the person who had always been helping Sonia. He's probably Fox Eyes. Gripping his phone in his hand, he quickly started sprinting toward the mountain.

After running for a while, Toby felt his phone vibrating for a moment. Immediately, he stopped and checked his phone to see a map sent by Carl.

Upon opening the map, Toby noticed a green dot and a red dot marked on the mark. He knew that the green dot was himself, so the red dot was definitely Declan and the others.

"Two miles..." Toby saw that he was only two miles away from the red dot and pursed his lips. Once again, he continued sprinting forward.

It's possible if it's just two miles. I can catch up with them.

At the same time, Carl and the others had reached the foot of the mountain and were starting to hike the mountain. Meanwhile, two miles away, Declan wiped the sweat off his face before he looked forward and huffed for air. "How much longer before we reach the top?"

"Probably half an hour more," Johnny replied.

"Water." Declan reached out while Johnny unzipped his backpack and took a water bottle for him. "Here, Young Master Declan."

Snatching over the water bottle, Declan twisted the cap open before taking a few gulps of water to ward off feelings of fatigue after hiking the mountain. Then, he narrowed his eyes and instructed, "Inform those at Misty Mountain to send a helicopter over to fetch us at the top of the mountain."

Initially, they had planned to take the mountain trail to Misty Mountain. However, they received a call later on informing them that the helicopter that was sent out to deal with other matters was returning to Misty Mountain.

Hence, the helicopter could pick them up to go back to Misty Mountain, and that was why they were headed toward the top of the mountain instead of the other way round.

"Alright, I'll contact them right away." Johnny nodded before he took his phone out and started calling.

Naturally, Carl heard what happened and quickly inform Toby. A calculative glint flashed past Toby's eyes when he heard of the helicopter.

Haha! Did someone say helicopters?

Since Declan can arrange for a helicopter to go to the top of the mountain, I can arrange for helicopters to stop them there as well. They will be arriving at the top of the mountain within half an hour, and that's enough time for my helicopter to come from Seafield.

At the thought of that, Toby contacted Tom and instructed him to arrange for the helicopter before he continued hiking.

To shorten the distance between himself and Declan, Toby took another shorter route by climbing mountain boulders instead of running after the route the Declan and the others took.

Thus, he ended up looking like a mess. His hair was scruffy, and his tailor-made suit was scratched in many places and dirtied by soil and algae.

Besides that, there were slight scratches on his face. It seemed like he had faced some troubles when he was climbing the boulders and even fell.

Nevertheless, the results were great as he managed to get to the top of the mountain a few minutes later than Declan.

Right then, Toby took his phone out and saw that Declan and the others were at the other side that wasn't really far from him, so he quickly took off toward them.

After running for a few minutes, he saw Declan and the others, along with a person that was heavily guarded by two buff men. From the person's height, Toby could immediately recognize that it was Sonia. "Sonia!" he shouted.

Was that... Toby?

Sonia, who couldn't see anything under the jacket, was taken aback before she was filled with joy.

Toby really came!

However, his voice had another kind of effect on Declan and his man, confusing them as they were about to speak. Then, they all turned around to see Toby, whose clothes were tattered and looked, with looks of horror.
