Chapter 393
Isabella was doomed to be obliterated by the car explosion.
Suddenly, the honk of a car coming from behind echoed in the night. Leopold glanced at the rearview mirror, only to see a sleek,
aubergine-colored BMW hot on his
trail.
The driver of the pursuing vehicle was none other than Thalassa!
Leopold’s heart, cold and numb as stone, suddenly pounded in his chest. Panic and fear gripped him.
Thalassa had really come!
No, he couldn’t involve her. If his car exploded, the shockwave would engulf her, flipping her car. She would be in mortal danger.
Even if he was going to hell, he couldn’t bear the thought of Thalassa getting hurt.
With a burning determination in his eyes, Leopold floored the accelerator, desperate to shake Thalassa off.
Thalassa had thought that her honking would make Leopold pull over.
But instead, he sped up even more.
Her heart, already in her throat, clenched even tighter. Anxiety and fear consumed her.
She stopped honking, instead following Leopold’s example and speeding up. Soon, her car was side by side with Leopold’s
metallic Porsche, which was now engulfed in flames, creating a fiery serpent slithering down the highway.
Thalassa rolled down her window and screamed, “Leopold, stop the car! If you don’t stop now, it’ll be too late!”
But Leopold seemed not to hear her, continuing to speed ahead.
“Thalassa, save me. I don’t want to die! Leopold’s gone mad. He’s mad!” Isabella wailed from the passenger seat, her voice filled
with terror.
Shaking with fear, Thalassa maneuvered her car in front of Leopold’s and yanked the steering wheel, effectively blocking his
path.
Leopold’s car was moving too fast to stop. Seeing Thalassa’s car in front of him, he knew it was too late to brake.
“No!” he screamed, his voice filled with despair.
With wide and terrified eyes, he jerked the wheel, causing his car to spin and slide violently forward.
After a few terrifying spins, the front of his car slammed into Thalassa’s vehicle.
The force of the collision made Thalassa’s body sway, and her forehead crashed into the steering wheel, causing blood to seep
out.
Her head spun, pain shooting through it and stars appearing in her vision.
She tried to unbuckle her seatbelt and get out of the car, but her head felt heavy, as if it weighed a thousand pounds. Despite her
best efforts, she couldn’t lift it.
Finally, her vision darkened, and she blacked out.
After braking abruptly and spinning several times, Leopold managed to avoid crashing into Thalassa’s car.
Once his car stopped, he looked frantically at Thalassa, only to find her unconscious.
The flames on his car were spreading, the heat scorching his body. His clothes were drenched in sweat and his skin was singed.
The car was about to explode.
Leopold’s heart raced, panic seeping into his every pore. He unbuckled his seatbelt as fast as he could, jumped out of the car,
and opened the door to Thalassa’s car. He unbuckled her seatbelt and pulled her out.
Holding her tightly, he dragged her out of the flaming wreckage.
In his haste and fear, he found his strength waning. As he tried to carry Thalassa away, she slipped from his grasp.
The fire on his car was growing bigger, small explosions signaling the impending big explosion.
Desperate, Leopold bit his lip, gathering all his strength to overcome his weakness. He lifted Thalassa and ran as fast as he
could towards the open space nearby.
“Boom! Bang!” The car exploded into a ball of fire, the shockwave shaking the world.
