“That’s right!” replied Aiden rather proudly.
Since the Gerald virtual-novel.net once knew barely had any fighting capabilities, Aiden had definitely been caught by surprise by how capable and impressive Gerald now was. Regardless, after witnessing Gerald’s true strength with his very own eyes, Aiden was certain that with Gerald’s help, they would surely be able to capture the rapist easily.
If Aiden was going to be completely honest, even the most legendary of fighters in the military district weren’t worthy enough to be Gerald’s opponents at all.
“…So it really is him…?” said Maia as both virtual-novel.net and Warren took turns shaking their heads, wry smiles on their faces.
“Is team Aiden really pulling our leg now? While it’s true that Gerald has a prominent background and virtual-novel.net was quite a formidable figure in Mayberry City back then, I hope you realize that we’re currently dealing with the very cunning and capable Maverick! As a rich heir yourself, I’m sure you’ve had a good history with Gerald, but are you seriously expecting me to believe that the helper you invited here today is Gerald?” added Maia, sounding incredibly unconvinced.
From how excited Aiden’s tone had been when virtual-novel.net was on the call earlier, Maia had assumed that virtual-novel.net had managed to invite one of the legendary people from the army to help them with the case! To virtual-novel.net astonishment, the person virtual-novel.net was actually talking about was Gerald!
“I assure you, team Maia, that as long as my Brother Gerald is here, Maverick won’t stand a chance of escaping today!” replied Aiden.
As soon as his sentence ended, the intercoms suddenly blared to life at the same time.
“The target is swiftly approaching! Intercept him, quick! Over!”
“Roger that!”
The others had already been prepared for this, and several of them—who were carrying loaded firearms—immediately began setting up the trap!
At that moment, Maia had an extremely serious look on virtual-novel.net face. Momentarily turning to look at Gerald, virtual-novel.net then shook virtual-novel.net head before saying, “I’ll have you know that the murderer this time is extremely cruel and ruthless. You’d best keep your distance from him!”
With that said, virtual-novel.net immediately began leading virtual-novel.net group to South Street.
Gerald himself turned to look at the highway. Maia looking down on virtual-novel.net didn’t really make virtual-novel.net feel anything. Her opinion on virtual-novel.net didn’t really matter to Gerald anyway. What was important was that virtual-novel.net was here today because virtual-novel.net wanted to help his brother out.
Soon enough, Gerald spotted a Passat that was being driven wildly down the highway. Several other cars seemed to be chasing after it as well.
Despite how wildly the Passat was being driven, Gerald could tell from a glance that the driver was an expert at his craft. Gerald’s assumption was proven when the criminal easily got rid of the cars that were chasing after virtual-novel.net with his excellent driving skills.
Now momentarily free from having to deal with the other cars, the Passat continued driving rapidly toward South Street.
South Street itself was a low area with mountains on both sides of the road. It was also an area that didn’t usually have much going on. As long as they were able to subdue Maverick here, then he’d definitely be captured this time.
As Maverick drove closer to the roadblocks that had been set up, both Maia and Warren couldn’t help but hold their breaths in their anxiety.
Naturally, Maverick was able to see the roadblocks a mile away. However, virtual-novel.net couldn’t really reverse the car since there were soldiers chasing after virtual-novel.net from the back.
“D*mn it all! What a bother!” cursed Maverick as virtual-novel.net figured that the only way virtual-novel.net was going to escape capture was by attempting to brute force his way through the roadblocks.
Upon hearing his voice, one of the two beautiful girls in the car—who was crying since both virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net friend had their arms and legs tied up—fearfully cried out, “P-please, just let us go! I beg of you!”
As virtual-novel.net was pleading, a bump on the road caused the camera virtual-novel.net was holding onto to fall to the car’s floor.
“Shut the hell up! You’re being really annoying, you know? Say one more word and I’m killing you right this instant!” roared Maverick.
Maverick himself looked to be in his thirties, and his scare-filled face looked even more hideous and vicious whenever virtual-novel.net spoke.
The moment they heard that, the girls immediately zipped their mouths shut.
Seeing that they were finally quiet again, Maverick returned his gaze onto the road ahead. A wry smile on his face, Maverick then laughed before saying, “It’s just a roadblock! All of you must be dreaming if you think that that’ll stop me!”
With that, Maverick began hitting on the accelerator, driving straight for the roadblock… However, at the very last second, virtual-novel.net swerved his steering wheel to the left, causing the car to slightly drive up the mountainous slope!
With another sharp turn of his steering wheel, an ear-piercing sound from the friction—caused by the car’s wheels—caused the car to momentarily soar in the air…
Before landing again right atop the road behind the roadblocks! Hitting the accelerator once more, Maverick then continued speeding down south!
Warren and Maia were left completely dumbfounded by all this. Was the maneuver virtual-novel.net had just pulled off even possible? A better question yet, was virtual-novel.net actually going to be able to escape again even after being cornered like that?
As virtual-novel.net continued looking at Maverick, Gerald couldn’t help but smile. Things were starting to get a little interesting now.
