Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Ruby's studio was not in a remote area. There were hotels, restaurants, and supermarkets around. Many people were passing by this area during the day, but it was still a little far from the city center.

There were not many pedestrians on the road at this time. The restaurants were open, and there were not many people in the stores. The nightlife of Athana had yet to begin.

There was no obstruction on the way to the studio from the branch road. After driving for more than ten minutes, they did not see a single car. They quickly arrived at their destination.

When the car arrived in the area and had yet to stop at the entrance of the studio, Jasper quickly turned off the engine.

There were a few people gathered at the entrance of the studio. From the back, it looked like everyone's back was stiff.

"Jasper..." Before Olivia could finish her sentence, Jasper had already gotten out of the car, he was not even bothered to close the door.

Olivia hurriedly unbuckled her seatbelt and followed after him.

Before he got close, he heard a rough voice. Jasper frowned and had a bad feeling.

"You'd better not have any schemes. If you can go back to the restaurant and finish the meal, I'll return the phone to you after this is over." The person did not sound like he was not from Athana based on his accent. It sounded a bit strange.

Jasper stopped in his tracks and quickly checked his surroundings.

There was a van with no license plate parked at the entrance of the studio. Olivia did not know what was going on. Before Jasper could stop her, she had already rushed to the entrance of the studio.

Seeing that things seemed fishy, Olivia was about to call her father and the police. However, before she could unlock her phone, a dart pierced through her phone. She subconsciously let go of her phone and it fell to the ground. The screen was shattered as the phone hit the ground. If she was a second late, her hand would have been crippled.

Realizing that she was being impulsive, Olivia chose to not act up for the moment. Her eyes were filled with coldness as she stood still and waited for Jasper's command.

Liam was already injured. The four tires of Ruby's car were punctured. She hid behind her brother. Liam guarded her tightly. He spread his arms apart. His arms were still bleeding. He did not want the six people who covered their faces to lay their hands on her sister.

There were a lot of phones on the ground. Thirty minutes ago, six masked people suddenly appeared in this area. They broke into every store with guns and searched for mobile phones. They even warned everyone that if they dared to leave the shop, they would not leave this place alive.

No one knew if they were holding real guns or not. However, the knives in their hands were surely real, and the darts on their boots were real. They trembled as they willingly handed over their phones.
