Chapter 720:
Once she slid into the back seat, the driver took a quick look at her in the mirror and spoke with caution. “We have three cars on our tail p>
Those vehicles had not escaped Elliana’s attention. She answered with an even voice, “Don’t panic. Keep driving forward. They’ll definitely close in on us at the mountain road and force us off the cliff to stage an accident. Get ready for it p>
With a mischievous grin, the driver replied, “Feels like ages since I had this much of a thrill. I’m pumped. What do you say we give them a taste of their own medicine and send their cars off the cliff before they get us p>
Elliana kept her tone steady. “Stick to the plan. They want this to look like a minor accident so nobody will pay much attention. That works for me. If too many cars crash, it’ll end up all over the news, and that’s going to ruin our escape p>
“Got it.” The driver shrugged, clearly wishing things were different. “Not every day you get to go head-to-head with the Campbell family, and now we have to play it safe. That’s no fun p>
Elliana laughed quietly, realizing how Adah’s influence had rubbed off on her team. Every one of them seemed to chase after danger these days.
Both sides had their own agenda on that mountain road and collectively held off any move until they reached the start of the pass.
Halfway up the winding road, the cars behind them suddenly picked up speed, racing at Elliana’s taxi like wild horses breaking free.
From the rearview mirror, the driver watched the gap close, his excitement clear. “Elliana, they’re coming after us. You’d better hang on. Let’s see if they can keep up with me p>
“Did you forget what I said?” Elliana retorted sharply. “This is not your chance to show off behind the wheel. To everyone else, you are just another taxi driver on the road. Even with your experience, compared to the Campbell family’s hired killers, you are nothing more than an amateur. Do you get it p>
Right as the driver prepared to stomp on the accelerator, he hesitated at Elliana’s warning and let up on the pedal. “Tell me what the plan is p>
Elliana’s eyes flicked to the rearview mirror, catching sight of all three cars drawing nearer. It only took her a second to figure out what they were about to do. “They want to trap us from every direction and push us right off the edge. Let them try,” she said, her voice steady and composed.
The driver had no choice except to do as he was told. “Understood,” he replied.

Barely a moment later, the first car surged ahead, whipping past their taxi before slamming on its brakes. The taxi was forced to veer out of the lane to avoid hitting it.
That was when the second car charged up from behind, closing in so fast that the taxi had to swerve again, this time edging dangerously close to the cliff. Elliana noticed the third car sticking close behind and instructed the driver, “Take the lower road p>
With a quick twist of the wheel, the taxi went plunging over the side.
Accidents were common on this road, and nobody had ever survived a fall from here.
Believing the job was done, the three trailing cars took off, speeding away without looking back and soon disappeared into the darkness.
They had no idea that the taxi’s passengers were not helpless at all, but trained operatives from the notorious Thorn Rose organization in Delta, who had been ready for this moment.
While the taxi dropped through the air, Elliana and the driver pushed open their doors at just the right moment, slipping out with perfect timing. They wore harnesses around their waists, hooking themselves safely to the rocky face.
