Chapter 815
The Evidence at Your Door
Because of the chaos at the hospital and the border, the runaway duo gained massive attention on the internet. Curious netizens were closely following their every move.
They wanted to know: Who were they? Why were they being hunted by? Who was after them? Where were they headed? And what would their fate be? Who would pay the price for this whole mess?
Beathan thought that, given the situation, Natalia wouldn't be foolish enough to make a move. Otherwise, she could easily expose herself.
He would've never expected that Natalia, upon learning that William and Emelie were taking a taxi to the airport and were about to fly back home, would actually send assassins to intercept them in broad daylight.
Aerial footage from a TV station's drone provided a bird's-eye view of a white taxi with four black sedans chasing after them on the road, weaving in and out of the morning rush hour traffic.
The cars were moving at incredible speed. The taxi performed a sharp swerve, dodging a black car as it suddenly rolled down a window and fired shots.
A nearby unsuspecting car couldn't react in time and crashed straight into a guardrail, triggering a multi-car pileup and causing a traffic jam stretching for kilometers.
While there were no casualties, the road was blocked, and Barolo's traffic was notoriously bad. Even the traffic police, who arrived quickly on the scene, couldn't clear it.
Frustrated drivers that were stuck in traffic rolled down their windows to yell at the drivers in front of them, only to be cursed at by the ones behind. Soon, there was a full-on shouting match all along the road.
The police, firefighters, ambulance services, road rescue teams, and insurance companies all rushed to the

On this particular day, the international metropolis of Mylen descended into utter chaos.
The moment Beathan saw the live broadcast, he immediately called Natalia. "Don't you realize everyone is watching William and Emelie's every move right now?"
"Of course I know,' she replied.
"Then why the hell are you going after them so openly? Do you have a death wish?' Beathan tried to hold back his anger. "Pull your men back right back! I want complete radio silence! No more moves until this blows over!
Natalia chuckled. "Are you worried about my safety, Mr. Collins?"
"I don't want to be implicated by you!" Beathan's voice was cold. "Cedonia has already identified who they are. People are calling the embassy to inquire about this. The authorities have taken notice of this. This has been blown way out of proportion!"
Things had evolved to a scale far beyond what Beathan had anticipated. In his plans, Emelie and William would only be discovered and make the news after their bodies had decomposed, not when they were in a high-speed chase across the world.
Natalia retorted, 'Exactly! Since it's already such big news, we need to see it through to the end. Otherwise, all our previous efforts will be wasted."
"And what if you're exposed?" Beathan asked.
"I'll just find a few scapegoats to take the fall. Say they messed with the mafia and it's a gang retaliation. Who's going to trace it back to us?" she said.
"You make it sound so easy." Beathan let out an exasperated laugh. "Despite sending out so many professional assassins, you still can't catch two sickly people. Do you really think that they're that powerful?
"Someone must be protecting them, ensuring you can't get to them! This is a trap to lure us in, and we've fallen right into it!"
Natalia slumped into her chair, her mind racing as she murmured, "A trap?"
Beathan gripped his phone tightly. "You were so eager to act, did you cover your tracks? Just wait for the police to come knocking on your door with evidence in hand!"
