After a few seconds, the door opened. A young man in ck emerges from the car. He looked at the two with apathy. Seeing that came out from the car. The twins forget to breathe for a few seconds. They opened their mouths but words didn''te out. The wariness in their eyes disappeared, now, it turned to shock.


    "M—M—Manny" Jimena stuttered, her eyes widened.


    Emma smiled. "What happened? What makes you into such…" He pointed at all the various injuries on their bodies.


    Jimena and Arce looked at each other and shook their heads. Arce sighed and took a deep breath. "That is a long story. And partly our stupidity."


    Jimena gripped her brother''s arms with both arms and caressed them gently. "We can''t be med for what happened."


    Emma looked at the twins, not understanding what they were saying. ''Seriously, what are they saying..''


    >>The psychological effect of what they passed through may cause trauma… let them regain their bearings gradually. Just listen to them.


    ''By the roadside…?''


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    An ear-piercing sound echoed around them, jotting them awake from their reunion. Emma responded quickly, getting on his knee, withdrawing two pistols from his back. He looked in the direction where the sound came from. 4 ck jeeps were elerating toward with men pointing guns from the window. Seeing this, Emma realized how deadly the situation was. Turning his head, he saw the twins shivering. He sighed.


    "Get inside the car," Emma shouted, not waiting for them. He quickly dashed into the car.


    Hmm!


    Arce raised his brow. But he quickly understood what Emma meant. ''He''s not abandoning us. Thank God.'' He drew his sister''s hand toward the car. While the guns increased. After the twins entered the car. "At the highest speed," Emmamanded the car.


    ''Sorry sir, it''s against the protocol to ride at the highest speed.'' The mechanical voice answered.


    Furious. "Just drive!" Emma shouted. ''What type of stupid protocol. Do you want me to die'' Emma turned to the twins? "Be prepared to tell me what is going on when we escape this mess." He announced it seriously.


    Emma peed and saw the car speed. 60km/h ''What the fuck.''


    "Turn off the rear windshield privacy."


    ''Ok sir''


    The opaque rear ss turned transparent. Emma and the twins turned their heads. Instantly, their jaws dropped.


    ''Attack detected. Passenger, please put on your seat belt. Reporting the assault to the authorities.''


    ''Looking for a safe location.''


    "Just drive fast," Emma yelled.


    ''Due to an unknown attack on the passenger. The car speed will increase to 80km/hr


    >>Ha! Ha! Ha!. I like this AI. Ha! Ha! Ha! You''re in for it.


    ''In it for your head.''


    "Make way."


    At once, the twins shifted and Emma found his way to the front seat. Arce and Jimena looked at each other not understanding what Emma was doing. But what Emma was going to do. They hope he is sessful.


    "W—Will they catch us." Jimena looked at Arce''s eyes with worry.


    "That depends on Manny…" Arce sighed. "Let''s pray they won''t capture us. That will be the end of us. Besides, we have implicated Manny in our problem. I''ll never forgive myself if something were to happen to him. He''s a good man"


    Jimena nodded, looking at Emma with aplicated expression. ''I hope he can perform another miracle.''


    Emma didn''t hear what the twins were bbering. Though, if he heard. He won''t care. But he is a good man. That would make himugh. Emma quickly connects his phone to the car through the car dashboard.


    "Zeus, can you bypass the car security and take control of the car without being detected?"


    [[…Calcting…I can bypass the car security system in 30 seconds while I can maintain the car in 60 seconds before the car forcibly reboot itself.]]


    "Good! Begin."


    [[Pratingmencing…]]


    ''Unknown firmware in-car defense. Reporting to the authority. Initiating defense mode.''


    >>This car insisted that you must die. Why struggle? Let it do its work. Why trouble the car… Lily teased.


    Bang! Bang!


    The rear ss crashed into pieces. The eyes of the menacing attacker could be seen. They were only a few meters from reaching them. Emma didn''t bother with the attack. He fixed his eyes on his phone, watching the stream of code shing on his phone.


    [[Car security breached. In control of the car.]]


    …


    Hearing this, Emma breathes a sigh of relief. "Find us an escape route."


    [[Insufficient resources. Can''t perform operation.]]


    Fuck!


    "Get us out of here."


    [[On it.]]


    Instantly, the car picks up speed, surprising the attackers. They were dumbfounded. How could a regr driverless car speed up like that? Unless it is being modified. But to modify a driverless car requires a lot of resources and expertise. Besides, they have to keep it from the eyes of the security.


    The attackers couldn''t understand how the people inside achieved the speed. However, they never ceased their chase. They even increased it.


    "Don''t let them escape. Follow them!" A hoarse voice yelled.


    Meaning, the people inside the ck car had a diverse expression on their face. Emma worried about their escape while Arce and Jimena had their eyes widened.There is one word echoing in their minds. Freak!


    [[40 seconds left…]]


    [[39]]


    "Increased the car to the limit," Emmamanded. ''With this speed, we won''t be able to escape from these assholes.''


    [[Are you sure, sir.]]


    "Affirmative."


    [[Car speed going to 180km/h… Please, use your seat safety belt.]] Zeus advised.


    >>What a nice AI. So, cute. You better follow his advice…


    ''Of course, I will use my seat belt. I won''t risk my life if not because of the situation.''


    Noticing the car''s speed, the twins looked at Emma with fear. They wanted to shout don''t kill us. But they control themselves. Without telling, they gripped the handle of the door tightly.


    Are they going tomit suicide?


    The thought came to the minds of the attackers. They looked at the dashing car in a daze. The space between the cars began to expand. Though the attackers were still chasing the ck. Fear made them reluctant to increase their car speed to that level.


    [[15 seconds left]]


    [[Detecting many traffic congestions on the road]]


    [[With this speed, the probability of an ident is over 90%. Advice to reduce the speed.]]


    "Reduce speed," Emmamanded. He turned his head and looked at their attackers. Seeing how far they are. Emma breathed a sigh of relief. ''We should be able to escape now.''


    "Do you have your phone?" Emma asked the twins


    Twins shook their heads. "They cease our phones when they capture us. Sorry." Arce answered.


    Emma creased his brow. ''This is not good.''


    >>What are you going to do now… You can''t escape with that crazy speed again.


    "Zeus, find a location to park," Emmamanded. He looked at the twins. "We are moving."


    [[7 seconds left]]


    ``We will leave before the countdown reaches zero.'' Emma thought.


    Without further ado, when Zeus parked the car. They have already arrived at the entrance of the city. Emma and the twins get down from the car, moving with arge stride. Emma held his phone, speaking some indistinct word to his phone. Looking back, Emma saw their enemy closing with great speed.


    Emma looked at the nearby building. He thought for a second and entered the building. Watching Emma entering a building, Arce and Jimena did not dilly dally. They follow quickly.


    "Sir, how may I help you." A waiter approaches Emma.


    Emma smiled. He gestured to the waiter to move closer. Seeing this, the waiter furrowed and looked at Emma skeptically. In the end, he moved closer to Emma while the people on the floor looked at him confused. He ignored the stares of the people and whispered into the waiter''s ear.


    Meanwhile, Arce and Jimena tremble with the numerous gazes directed at them because of the injury on their body. With the smell of blood filling the room the people eating raised their brows in annoyance.


    "Fuck! Don''t you know where to treat yourself….? Does this ce look like a hospital!? Get the fuck out!" Someone among the eaters yelled.


    "Sorry, for the disturbance. I will deal with them." The waiter smiles amicably, gesturing to Emma and the twins to follow him.


    Quickly, Emma and the twins follow the waiter to the back of the building. 30 secondster, 3 people dressed in chef uniforms came from the back of the building, leaving. The three chefs talked andughed while working by the roadside.


    After a couple of seconds, 4 jeeps parked in front of the restaurant, having many hefty men rush out from the jeep and scrambling into the building. Nevertheless, the three chefs did not seem to care about it. The three of them entered a few secondster, leaving the vicinity.


    >>You are getting better… Seriously, I don''t expect you to solve everything easily.


    ''En, En. That''s how it''s done. You need to learn from me. Just ask, I won''t mind your unruly behavior and teach you.''


    >>…Speechless.


    ''Ha! Ha! I got you. You can''t talk. Respect this grandpa from today onward.''


    >>Tsk. Don''t let this little cat and mouse cloudy your reasoning.


    ''I know. This is just between us.''


    Lily didn''t know what to say. Emma is right. They banter a lot. So, it is a normal urrence between them. She had to ept that Emma''s growth was scary. Previously, she taught Emma but now… He''s turning into a monster.


    >>I look forward to your achievement.. Lily thought.
