Hannah kept her focus on driving and responded, “Hopefully, they’re after me, not you.

That might give you a chance to escape tonight.

Atticus gulped, feeling overwhelmed, as he noticed multiple cars trailing them.

“It looks like several cars are following us.

I’m in real trouble!”

“Once I stop the car, you need to dash for the hotel,” Hannah instructed.

“The hotel has top-notch security.

They won’t be able to follow you inside.

Reassured slightly, Atticus nodded, then a concern struck him.

“And what about you, Miss Moore? What will you do?”

Hannah remained composed and said, “You still have time to worry about me? Focus on saving yourself first.

The lights of the hotel ahead flickered, casting brief flashes of hope in the enveloping darkness.

“When I count to one, you need to exit the car immediately,” she instructed as she decelerated.

“Three… Two… “

Atticus, caught off guard, panicked, “The car- it hasn’t stopped yet!”

“One!” Hannah announced.

At her signal, Atticus flung open the door and bolted out before the car had fully halted.

He summoned every ounce of strength he never knew he had and sprinted towards the hotel, not daring to glance back.

Simultaneously, Hannah brought the car to a stop and stepped out.

As soon as she did, two cars that had been following them also came to a halt, and seven or eight individuals clad in black attire, complete with hats and masks, emerged.

They showed no interest in pursuing Atticus inside the hotel.

Their focus was on Hannah.

Leaning casually against her car, Hannah challenged them without a hint of fear.

“Are you sure you want to do this right here?”

She gestured towards the hotel.

“There are surveillance cameras all around.

Ignoring her, the group advanced towards her.

However, before they could get close, they were suddenly encircled by a group of bodyguards.

With a nonchalant blink, Hannah remarked, “Sorry, I forgot to mention that I brought quite a few people with me.

There were significantly more supporters on Hannah’s side than on the opposing side.

As they began to close in on her, a sharp whistle cut through the air.

The encroaching crowd, evidently well-trained, dispersed instantly into the surrounding darkness without a second glance at their parked cars.

“Got them!”

The bodyguards efficiently apprehended two of the aggressors.
