Chapter 942
Once James answered, Stan told him everything and said, "We're heading there right now, but it might be
dangerous, so bring more people if you can. I'm giving you the location now-hurry!"
"Got it," James replied.
Once he hung up, Stan started to search the web for details about that location, but it turned out to be an isolated
location without anyone around.
"Could Mr. Jefferson be captured by bandits?" he mused.
Zachary rolled his eyes. "What year is it? Also, Dunesia is a safe country. There won't be any bandits."
"Why don't you take a look?" Stan scoffed. "Mr. Jefferson was calling from up in the mountains, and the phone
wasn't his either. Who do you think those people would be? Savages?’
Zachary ignored him, realizing just then why Isaac kept James around while leaving Stan in Franconia for some
time.
The man's head was empty!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStan had no idea what Zachary was thinking, and he actually clapped Zachary on the shoulder, saying, "Why are
you being quiet?"
Zachary kept his eyes fixed ahead. "I have nothing to tell you."
"Aren't you curious?" Stan asked.
"Not really," Zachary replied.
They would find out everything once they rescued Isaac. What good was speculation?
Stan pouted. "You're no fun. I'm just trying to kill time. The mood is somber if we don't talk, y'know?"
As he spoke, he glanced behind at Irene, who had worry written all over her face as she stared out the window, her
knuckles clenching and her palms sweating!
Stan sighed and urged Zachary, "Drive fast now."
"I am," Zachary replied, shooting him a look-he was driving a car, not a plane! They were certainly not flying!
Stan huffed. "What, do you think you're the only one in a hurry?"
"Stop being annoying," Zachary growled.
Stan shot back, "Look who's talking."
Through it all, their car was streaking along the flat road at top speed, and it felt slow no matter how Zachary
floored the pedal.
Everyone inside could not wait to reach Isaac right then!
However, they soon ran out of gas and had to make a stop to refuel before returning on Isaac's trail.
It was Zachary's turn to snap at Stan just then. "You said it's close! We're nowhere near even after we used up a full
tank!"
"It's the car!" Stan retorted coolly. "It's a gas guzzler-it really isn't that far away!"
Zachary asked, ’Then why would you pick this car?"
"Because it's fast," Stan answered.
Zachary rolled his eyes and actually cursed, "Sh*t!"
Stan was speechless. "Watch your language."
Zachary did not respond and simply jammed his foot on the gas pedal, pushing the car to 110 miles per hour!
Stan actually felt his own body lurch backward from the violent inertia!
Glancing at the speedometer, he told Zachary, "See? That's why this car drinks so much fuel. It doesn't feel that
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfast even at that speed, see?"
"Shut up," Zachary growled. "Don't bother me while I'm driving."
Stan quickly turned silent, since it was really dangerous given how fast Zachary was driving.
And he needed to be completely focused!
Fortunately, the area was isolated and there were not many cars around.
Both sides of the road were mountainous, and it was over two hours when they arrived at their destination.
However, there were no roads around, but it would also take too much time to drive.
Zachary and Stan discussed it for a while before deciding to drive.
The jeep they were driving was durable enough anyway!
Still, it was a hard trek, and since Zachary had been driving for a while, Stan took the wheel to let him have a break.
Nonetheless, they were all feeling thrilled as they continued toward the destination, when...
Bang!
Bang!
The sudden crack of gunshots resounded!
There was no telling if it was the mountains' echo or if it was actually close, but it sounded like the latter!
