“Yes, sir.”

He smiled atand opened the door to an Audi A8, to my surprise.

A man of his status and power was driving a relatively commonplace luxury car like that? No wonder they said

the Kenways were enigmatic and hard to notice.

Throughout our journey, Soren’s car was always leading the way.

The Audi stayed about 160 feet ahead of us. Sometimes, it would disappear after turning a corner-and I'd feel a

pang of loss in my chest.

But then, as soon as our car turned, the Audi reappeared, coursing steadily ahead of us, leading the way.

eyes of the law. You're just the extra for now,” | taunted
