Chapter 188 - Owen's Special Skill

Because the man was wearing a mask, Cathy didn't know what Daniel's expression was like right now. But her heart was filled with a warm feeling as Zero patted the top of her head affectionately.

"I will definitely return safely. You don't have to worry." then Daniel shifted his gaze to Owen, who had been waiting for their arrival ever since. "I will entrust my daughter to you, Owen. Don't make another mistake if you don't want to get punished by me."

Owen widened his eyes to hear the order but said yes nonetheless. After making sure the two girls were inside and sitting comfortably in the back seat, Owen started the car and promptly drove it out of Aiden's headquarters area.

While driving, Owen was still pondering what he had just heard. He was still shocked and had not recovered from his confusion. He wasn't surprised by the tone of command or threat coming out of Zero II's mouth. He was more surprised by Zero's sentence, which indirectly told him Cathy was the man's daughter.

The second miss is the daughter of Zero II? Does that mean Zero is Catherine's father? But which father? Daniel West, whose whereabouts are currently unknown, or Marcel Alvianc, who has still secluded himself on his private island with no one could reach him out?

Owen could dispatch Marcel because that man would not be chosen to be Alpha or Zero. Almost everyone already knew that Marcel was Chloeny's husband as well as Catherine's father, the second miss Paxton.

The absolute requirement for getting the Alpha and Zero position is that no one should know their faces or their close relationship with the first or second lady.

That means leaving Daniel Paxton. Was the man in the black mask Daniel Paxton?

Wasn't Daniel mentally ill and then disappeared without a trace? All this time, the man was just pretending to be crazy and working with the hospital to fool Cathy and the others? The man even behaved as if looking for Daniel's whereabouts which made everyone would never think that Zero was Daniel himself.

Well, that makes sense considering no one was allowed to know the true identity of the face behind the mask. Once someone finds out, his position must be replaced by someone else.

Unluckily, now Owen knows Zero II's identity, which means that the position of Zero must be inherited to someone else. Does Zero II already have a candidate to replace him?

Owen pondered who will replace the man. Would it be someone who still has blood ties with the Paxton family, or will Zero II choose someone else?

Owen didn't have time to think about this when he realized there were more than five cars following him. He rapidly accelerated his vehicle and made a sharp turn while activating the car's program system.

Cathy was flabbergasted at the speed of the car they were riding in suddenly getting faster. She noticed the car's atmosphere became tense as if they were about to fight on the battlefield.

Realizing something was wrong, Cathy felt apprehensive and restless as she hugged Kitty's body tightly. Their bodies bounced back and forth each time Owen drifted to overtake a much slower car.

Cathy felt Owen drive crazy as if trying to run away from something.

"Owen, are we being chased?" guessed Cathy with incredible anxiety.

They had just managed to get out of the enemy base a while ago. Cathy doesn't want to go back there, not with her friend's life at stake.

"Don't worry, miss. I may not be a good fighter, but driving is an ability I'm proud of."

What Owen said was true. It was different when Cathy ran away with Vincent that night. Cleverly, Owen tricked the chase cars one by one to make the chase cars hit an obstacle hard. Gradually the number of pursuer cars decreased.

Next, they entered a long tunnel with no gap for sunlight to enter. The tunnel only had a lot of lamps on each side every five meters. Very few cars that used the tunnel made it easy for Owen to increase his car's speed.

Owen typed something on his car program a second later, the lights in the tunnel went out in unison. Suddenly Cathy couldn't see anything, not even the street in front of her. Everything turned entirely dark except for the screen on the program in the car.

Cathy worried that the car's speed didn't slow down while Owen already turned off the headlights. The pursuers couldn't see Cathy's car as if it was mingling with darkness. Moreover, the car they were riding in was a black sedan car that made it utterly invisible once all the lights were turned off.

"Owen, can you still see the road?" Cathy was relieved that her pursuers would not be able to see their cars. But she was still worried that they would have an accident.

It is better for them to be captured by the enemy than to die in a car accident. What's more, Owen didn't slow down at all, making her heart beat faster as if she was on an adrenaline-driven play ride.

"No. I'm just relying on this GPS," he answered casually, pointing at his monitor screen, making Cathy's face pale.

After a few minutes through the dark tunnel, Cathy felt her body slam to the right, which meant they were turning sharply to the left.

Next, their car stopped, and the tunnel lights came back on.

"Some of my colleagues have tricked them into using the same car. Now we are safe," explained Owen politely as he turned to the back seat.

"You mean they're chasing another car?"

Owen answered with his usual trademark smile.

So, the reason the tunnel lights were turned off so that Owen could hide behind the darkness while his partner was getting ready inside the tunnel first? As a result, the pursuers keep walking straight and chasing the wrong car while taking a sharp turn to hide from the pursuers.

Cathy shook her head in giving up thinking about this. Inevitably, she has to accept the reality of her identity, and her own life experience was like an action movie as she has seen.

Cathy knew she should be worried and panicked by the current situation. But she couldn't help but wonder if they would change cars or not.

Usually, in movies, the main character would change cars to trick their enemy.

"Miss, we're going to change the car over there," announced Owen as he opened the back door.

Cathy sighed, realizing her guess was precisely one hundred percent.

She let Owen picked the unconscious Kitty up in ala bridal style.

"Will she be okay?" Cathy remembered what Aiden had said about the effects of the poison. After falling asleep, Kitty would not wake up again and then die because her heart stopped beating.

Now that Kitty was asleep, does that mean she won't wake up? Cathy got rid of this bad thought far from her head.

Kitty will not die. They would surely find a way to save her. Cathy reassured herself in her mind.

"She'll be fine. I'm sure Zero has given her the slow-progression pill. We just need to take her to the lab and give her the antidote."

Cathy could breathe a sigh of relief to hear it. As long as Kitty is fine, she won't ask for anything. Maybe she's curious about Kitty's identity as the red queen, but if Kitty wants to keep her identity a secret, then she'll keep her mouth shut.

After putting Kitty in the car, Cathy realized something.

Usually, in movies, they would move into worse cars or stolen cars. But now they use the latest luxury cars from Bernz corp!? In fact, this type of car is a very limited type with the number of production there are only three in the whole world?!

What a stupid girl. Of course, they can own any car from the Bernz company considering one of the LS core team leaders was the founder of the Bernz group itself... Welly Bernz.

Her surprise did not end until the luxury car she was riding in. Earlier, when Owen said they were going to the lab, Cathy thought they were going to a building similar to a hospital.

But it turned out that Owen instead took them to the airport and thus saw her drove his car into a running plane before finally taking off.

They remained to wait in the car, and half an hour later, Cathy felt the plane begin to descend and land somewhere.

Owen operated his car backward until it got off the plane.

Curious about this unfamiliar place, Cathy looked towards the street next to her, and soon she saw a majestic building resembling a royal palace.

Surprisingly, Owen drove their car to this building's gates, making Cathy's heart pound with nervousness.

What she thought was true! Owen led them into a towering and spacious gate, and a majestic modern castle stood before her eyes.
