“Come on, let’s go over there and take a look!”

Upon hearing the gunshot coming from outside, the three of them paled. In the next second, they opened the car door and leaped out of the vehicle.

Winnie was worried that something might have happened to her grandmother, so she was the fastest of the trio.

Xavier subconsciously tried to run after her, but ever since Yulissa had injected large amounts of venom into him, he was no longer as physically fit as before. In fact, he was even a little slower than Winnie and Josiah at the start.

What he was most anxious about at that moment was Winnie’s rashness—that she would be met with danger if she was first to reach the spot.

Nevertheless, Winnie was much calmer than he thought she would be. Furthermore, police officers were up ahead, so she soon came to a halt.

While Xavier continued running after them, Josiah stopped.

Noticing that Xavier was slower than them, Josiah could not help but turn around and ask in concern, “Are you okay? How do you feel?”

Xavier nodded. “I’m fine.”

Despite his words, he was panting a little.

If he had no venom in him, he would have no problem running another thousand meters.

When Winnie heard Xavier and Josiah talking, she whipped her head around.

However, she did not notice anything amiss with Xavier. She only said in distress, “Please help me ask what’s going on there. The officer that was in your car earlier is just right there.”
