The Author's POV

[Squadron 5 is currently headed to the target's location. They will arrive at the destination shortly.]

Edward glanced at the notification that appeared on his watch before turning his attention to the person operating the vehicle.

"Head toward the same location as Squadron 5." He paused and added. "Pick up the pace, please."

As a result of his words, the car picked up speed. Almost immediately after that, Edward heard a voice coming from beside him.

"What's the rush?"

It belonged to none other than Jerome, who at that very moment was occupying the seat next to him.

"Let the children take care of the problem. They ought to be able to handle the situation with that young man between the two of them. It'll be a good experience for the two of them."

"It's still best if we hurry up."

As he spoke, Edward's pupils contracted slightly. He was not a fool. He was able to figure out what Jerome was planning to do, and it didn't sit well with him in the least bit.

Not that he was worried about Amanda falling for someone like him. Only someone who could match his looks and strength could hope of courting her.

"You might never know what can happen. With the two of us there, I can rest assured about their safety."

"Heh."

Jerome smirked.

"With my son and the elders, there's no problem even if the—"

Ding—!

A sudden notification appeared on both of their watches at the same time, which caused his sentence to be cut off abruptly.

The two frowned immediately and gazed toward their watches. There was a video in it, and they both watched it.

Staring at the video, their eyes widened as the color left their faces and they began to bleach. Right away, Jerome got to his feet and started hounding the driver.

"Hurry the fuck up! Speed up the vehicle! Now! Hurry up!"

"But—"

"Don't care about breaking any laws; just hurry up!"

"Y…yes, sir!"

The driver stepped on the gas, and the car began traveling through the neighborhood at a frighteningly rapid rate. In the meantime, while Jerome was yelling out orders, Edward was twiddling his fingers nervously while staring at the notification that appeared on his watch.

He was reading the message that was attached to the video.
