Chapter 1098
Disregarding his own dizziness, he charged at the attackers and knocked two of them down.
Driven by fury and paying no heed to techniques, Tom fought with a relentless intensity, keeping the assailants at bay. Meanwhile, Ariana, clutching her wounded arm, managed to rise to her feet.
Tom’s wild and uncontrolled assault momentarily left the attackers powerless. They had planned to wait for his energy to wane, but the sudden wail of police sirens from outside caught them off guard.
“The cops are on their way!” someone yelled, and the group of thugs cursed in frustration. They had chosen this remote location as a safe hideout, far from any service area. They didn’t expect the police to arrive so quickly.
Fearing capture, they exchanged anxious glances, swiftly dispersed, and fled the scene.
As their attackers fled, Ariana and Tom finally breathed a sigh of relief. Exhausted, they both sank to the floor, leaning against each other for support.
Just then, footsteps approached from outside. Ariana raised her head and saw a tall figure outlined against the backlight. ninjanovel.com
It was Mitchel.
Mitchel arrived at the scene in a hurry, immediately spotting Ariana.
Concerned, he rushed over to check on both of them.
Upon seeing blood flowing from Ariana’s arm, his usually calm demeanor became clouded with emotion. While he was typically reserved, the tension in his forehead suggested the agitation he felt inside.
Without uttering a word, Mitchel carefully lifted Ariana, who was bleeding heavily from her arm. Ariana was startled and protested, “Wait, it’s just my arm that’s hurt. My legs are okay. | can walk.”
Mitchel cast a brief look at her and then eased his hold, allowing her to stand.
The moment Ariana set foot on the floor, she made an effort to rise, but her legs faltered, compelling her to kneel. Her physical strength had dwindled due to the long ordeal and lack of food.
Despite repeated attempts, she couldn’t manage to stand.
She felt embarrassed, managing only a faint smile as she gazed at Mitchel.
“| suppose | was mistaken.”
Mitchel let out a sigh and bent down to lift her again. “You guys managed to locate this place?” Ariana inquired with curiosity.
Earlier, she had questioned the burly man, and he had informed her that this spot was very remote and out of the range of any communication services. He had said that even the police would have had a hard time finding it. But, they had arrived so quickly.
Mitchel responded, “An hour ago, an anonymous person sent the location to Sonia’s phone. That was how we located this place.”
“An anonymous person?” Ariana was somewhat taken aback, wondering who had the ability to pinpoint such a secluded area.
For a brief moment, Holden crossed her mind. But why would he be assisting her?
