Lily Shaw's grip on the steering wheel faltered for a moment. Quickly sensing something amiss with herself, she bit her lip hard, drawing metallic-tasting blood.
But that sharp pain cleared her somewhat muddled mind instantly. Crystal clear, she realized: she absolutely could not panic. She had to seize the opportunity to take him down after that car's first attack!
Aiden Grant was hiding in a crevice at that moment. Whether it was lady luck or not, dragging his injured body through the smoke from the explosion, he had managed to find an unbelievably fortunate crevice just big enough for one person to hide, about three or four meters above the shrubbery.
Driven by a strong desire for survival, Aiden pushed his limits and climbed into the crevice at top speed.
And that sole remaining enemy, blocked by the unique terrain and smoke, and further distracted by Lily Shaw, hadn't seen Aiden climb into the crevice.
