Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 344

Normand twisted the throttle hard, and the motorcycle roared to life, surging forward as he tore down the outer ring road.

Liam wasn't about to be left behind. His Maybach shot after them, matching the bike's speed with ease. He kept right on their tail, knuckles white on the steering wheel, his face set in a cold, determined mask.

The Maybach closed the gap quickly, its headlights blazing so bright they seemed to swallow Normand and Mandy whole.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" he roared, fists clenched, posture ready for a fight.
