Realizing the tide was turning against them, the tall and slender man popped open the trunk and distributed steel knives to his lackeys.

Anxiety gripped Camila, but there was little she could do to help.

She wished fervently for Alick and the cops to arrive on time.

The brawl took on a dangerous turn.

Spectators kept a safe distance, watching the chaos unfold.

No one dared to intervene.

As the driver grappled with the foes in front, the opportunistic tall man brandished a steel knife from behind, poised to strike the driver.

"Look out!"

Camila screamed.

Despite kicking away the front assailants and attempting to turn around, the driver couldn't evade in time. The man landed a blow, cutting his shoulder.

Blood spurted out in an instant.

The brawl had escalated to a brutal level.

The opposing crowd was sizable, but the driver held his ground.

The man found it challenging to overcome the driver and suggested, “Let's leave."

Their objective was to apprehend Camila, not engage in a confrontation. Spending too much time in this location would make it difficult for them to evade capture once others arrived to assist the driver. Taking advantage of the driver's injury, they could now make a quick escape.

"Quick, get into the car."

They beat a hasty retreat to the car.

Alick hadn't shown up.

What was Camila to do?

With Annis still pregnant, the thought of any harm befalling her left Camila too embarrassed to meet Alick's gaze.
