Chapter 266

Christopher tapped on the “answer call” button. Just as he placed his phone near his ear, he heard Layla’s scratchy voice choking out, “Christopher, something happened to Ken.”

The moment Layla got off the phone; she received a call all the way from Nardor. The caller explained to her that Kendrick was involved in a car accident. The car that he was riding in had fallen into a river valley, but it was unknown if Kendrick was dead or alive. However, the rescuers in Nardor were able to retrieve the bodies of those who were in the same car as Kendrick from the valley.

Even if the rescuers hadn’t found Kendrick, the other three people who were in the car with him were unable to escape from death. Also, they died in a very gruesome manner, which meant Kendrick had an extremely low chance of surviving the crash.

When Layla first found out about the news, she instinctively refused to believe it. After taking a few minutes to process the news, she inquired about the situation in Nardor carefully. It was said that a person in charge from Nardor was supposed to inspect the base together with the people that Kendrick brought with him.

There were two cars in total. The person in charge from Nardor occupied the car that led the way. However, Kendrick’s car was unable to catch up with the first car for some reason. The person in charge from Nardor originally thought that Kendrick’s car got delayed due to some unfinished business. After waiting for a while, the person in charge had yet to see Kendrick’s car arriving at the site. At the same time, no one was able to get in contact with him.

Hence, the occupants of the first car decided to go through the same route to search for Kendrick’s car. They discovered a set of tire tracks near the cliff belonging to a jagged and bumpy section of the road.

The tire tracks were fresh, and they matched the tires belonging to Kendrick’s car.

The person in charge of Nardor knew that something must have gone wrong, so he contacted the police and the rescuers immediately. Soon, they were able to locate the wreckage of a car as well as the body of a local driver at the bottom of the valley.

Some of the driver’s limbs were torn away from his body. His head was so disfigured that it couldn’t – be pieced back together.

The search and rescue lasted for another couple of hours. They managed to locate the bodies belonging to Kendrick’s assistant and Dylan, who had flown to Nardor with the group. Their bodies were as battered and disfigured as the driver that was found in the wreckage.
