Chapter 70: Dealing with the Drone
Scarlet understood that she would have to change the plan that she was having. With the enemy in pursue, it was definitely impossible for her to complete what she had been planning to do.
So, she turned to Jaden and said, "If possible, we should drive towards our residence. It should be impossible for them to continue pursuing us as long as we get there."
Jaden nodded his head. He had already been planning to do that. But of course, he would have to get rid of the drones first. Otherwise, if the drones kept on following them, they would be easily informing the enemy of where they currently were, and the enemy could make countermeasures.
In just a matter of about 4 minutes, they finally arrived in the area where the tunnel was. Of course, since the tunnel was here, it was going to be quite difficult for the drone to easily locate them.
That was what Jaden was targeting. As long as the drone found it difficult to locate them, that was the chance that he was going to use in order to deal with them. So, as he continued to drive, he made sure to pay attention to the drone that had already entered into the tunnel.
It seemed that the other drone had already gone ahead, to the other side of the tunnel to intercept them. Of course, Jaden was not planning to go out of the tunnel this time.
So, the moment that he managed to get into the tunnel, the speed at which the Ferrari was moving at suddenly increased. Then, as he continued to drive, he looked at Scarlet and asked, "Do you have anything that we can use to take down a drone?"
"Huh?" Scarlet was immediately confused after hearing that question. Then, she suddenly thought of something, and looked through the rear view mirror. It was then that she noticed that there was something small in the air flying behind them.
She could not help but be surprised. She had not noticed that there was a drone that was coming after them all this while. To think that Jaden had already noticed this…
Still, she was able to react. She bent down a little, and managed to put her hand below the seat that she was currently seated on. Then, after rummaging for a while, she took out a steel bar.
Jaden could not help but raise his brows a little when he saw the steel bar. He could immediately tell that this was definitely a weapon that was used for attacking, and was not for dealing with any emergency related to the car.
When she realized the look on Jaden's face, Scarlet snorted and said, "Of course I have a weapon. In case there is danger, I can protect myself with this."
Scarlet said those words, she looked like she was about to swing the steel bar around. Luckily, she did not do that. Instead, she calmed down, and asked to Jaden, "What should I do with this?"
She was completely clueless on what she was supposed to do in order to deal with the drone. It was not impossible for her to take down the drone, but from the distance that the drone was, and the fact that the vehicle was currently moving, it was extremely difficult.
Even though it was difficult, that did not imply that it was impossible. Still, they did not have anything else within the vehicle that could be used to attack. So, they only possessed a single chance.
"Just hold on a bit. When a chance arrives, I will immediately inform you. The thing that you are supposed to do is to open the door, then get half of your body out of the car, and throw the steel bar at the drone. Make sure that you don't miss." Jaden instructed.
If it was just an ordinary person, Jaden would have definitely not told them to do that. But it was completely different for Scarlet. She was quite strong. So, it was definitely not impossible for her to be able to do what he had instructed.
But of course, it was an impossibility for her to be able to do that with the current speed that the vehicle was moving in. Still, it was not as if Jaden was planning to make her do that while the vehicle was moving at such a speed.
Otherwise, forget about Jayden protecting her from the enemy that was currently pursuing them, he would not be able to protect her from getting injured or even dying the moment that she fell out of the car.
"Are you serious?" Scarlet asked dumbfoundedly. She could not believe what she had just heard. Was this guy trying to make sure that she died?
She could remember that there was a point in time that she was trying to make sure that she did not have a bodyguard. But was that enough to make Jaden want her dead?
When Jaden turned his gaze to look at Scarlet from the road, he realized that she was looking at him with a dumbfounded gaze.
"What is it? You cannot do that?" Jaden asked with raised brows. He did not believe that Scarlet could not do that. He had already seen her abilities, and what he had just told her to do was not an impossibility for her.
When she saw how Jaden was looking at her, Scarlet's ego suddenly erupted. How could she tell Jaden that she could not do that? She had to prove herself anyway. So, she snorted and did not say anything. Still, she held the door handle, indicating that she was ready to open the door the moment that Jaden told her to do that.
"Just be ready. Still, you will have to be prepared for sudden movements of the car. Otherwise, it will definitely affect you on how you are going to get half of your body out of the car." Jaden stated as he continued driving.
Immediately after he said those words, he stepped onto the brakes sharply. This caught Scarlet off-guard. Thankfully, she had already secured a seatbelt around her moments ago, when she realized how crazy Jaden's driving was.
…
"They have already entered the tunnel. They should be coming out in the next 1 or 2 minutes. That should be the time for you to intercept. Make sure that they don't manage to leave. Otherwise, if they get past you, it is going to be impossible for us to be able to get them anymore." The leader of the group that was currently pursuing Jaden and Scarlet instructed through the walkie-talkie.
As he said those words, he was staring at the tablet in his hand. On it, he could see the image of the Ferrari that was currently speeding within the tunnel. It was a good thing that the lighting within the tunnel was quite good.
Otherwise, it would have been difficult for the drone to be able to maneuver in the dark. Of course, the one that was controlling the drone was not currently inside the vehicle that the leader was in.
Instead, he was currently inside another vehicle. Still, that vehicle was also chasing after Jaden. At the end of the day, they had to make sure that the range of the drone did not get out of the area where they could not control it.
As he watched the video being displayed on the tablet, he could not help but suddenly get an ominous feeling the moment that he suddenly saw the tires of the Ferrari screeching.
Then in the next moment, the Ferrari maneuvered once again, the same movement that it had made during the time that it was on the highway. It managed to turn and face the wall of the tunnel, as if it was intending to rush through the wall.
But in the next second, the door of the Ferrari suddenly opened. A human figure suddenly appeared, and a steel bar could be seen approaching the screen in front of him. At that moment, he immediately realized that the drone was being attacked.
At that moment, he immediately wanted to control the drone so that it could dodge the attack. The problem was that he was not the one that was controlling the drone. So, he Immediately shouted in the walkie-talkie, "Get the drone to move away!"
Bang!
But as expected, he was late. He managed to hear the sound of an explosion, before the screen that he was viewing suddenly went black. It was clear that the drone had already been taken down.
"F*ck!" The leader of the group immediately cursed. Then, with anger clear in his voice, he shouted, "Drive as fast as possible so that we can get to that tunnel! They are definitely planning to make a U-turn!"
"Roger that." The driver of the vehicle responded. Then in the next moment, he increased the speed at which the car was moving. Of course, it was quite difficult for him to be able to maneuver with the car moving at such a speed.
Still, they were capable of swerving through, with the other vehicles that possessed their companions following behind.
…
On the other hand, the moment that Scarlet managed to deal with the drone, Jaden waited until Scarlet managed to get back into the vehicle before he finally stopped. Of course, he had already moved to the side of the road, to avoid any accidents from happening.
Then, without hesitation, he immediately made a turn, and began moving in the opposite direction of the traffic. Due to that, several drivers immediately cursed at him as they tried to evade the Ferrari.
