Over a dozen people were already seated within.

Bettie led the way and chose a row of unoccupied seats, settling down in the innermost seat. Sabrina took a seat beside her on the outer side, with an aisle separating her from Aylin.

Observing the vehicle, Bettie remarked to Sabrina, "This bus is surprisingly classy, with air conditioning and all. I've seen folks in much humbler minibuses, munching on biscuits as they go."

“That surely means we're paying extra, doesn't it?" Sabrina asked.

From the moment she left the hotel, Sabrina couldn't shake the eerie sensation of being watched, but a glance around revealed nothing out of the ordinary.

A passenger in front chimed in, having overheard their conversation.

"Actually, we're not. I paid the same when I was here last time."

If the bus had been running for a while, it would probably be packed with passengers, and they might struggle to find available seats.

Meanwhile, regular tour groups would slash their prices to entice potential customers.

The passenger in front nodded and chimed in, "I heard it's the first day."

Hearing this exchange, the guide stepped in to clarify, "You know, our team has been around for ages, but we just got a new vehicle sponsored by a new boss. You're among our first guests since the upgrade."

Raising an eyebrow, Sabrina absorbed the information but remained silent.

Bettie chuckled and said, "Wow, aren't we lucky?"

The guide concurred with a smile, her gaze flickering towards Sabrina.

The bus then departed to pick up more tourists.

Meanwhile, Tyrone sat in a black car trailing the bus, eyes fixated on his laptop screen.

It had live footage from the bus.

Damon, the driver, grumbled, “After all this effort, you still haven't shown your face. What's the point?"

"I don't want to ruin her happiness," Tyrone responded, his gaze never leaving Sabrina‘'s image on the screen,
