Chapter 482
โOlive, donโt make me angry!โ Logan sat beside Olive. Seeing her calm demeanor, he smiled curiously. โOlive, do you know where Iโm taking you?โ
Olive nodded. โOf course. Youโre taking me from Canada to your territory, Greenland.โ
โSince you know, why are you so calm?โ
Oliveโs bright eyes met his. โIโm calm because I know someone will save me soon. Logan, this is Imperial. If Iโm right, the Imperial City is locked down. How will you get me out?โ
Oliveโs aggressive tone betrayed her knowledge of Loganโs radical nature. โWeโll leave smoothly. Thereโs a secret passage no one knows about.โ
โA secret passage?โ Oliveโs eyes lit up. Her guess about Logan was correct. โMy mother used a secret route when she came from Greenland to Canada, didnโt she?โ
โOlive, youโre as smart as your mother. Yes, thatโs the route she used.โ A feeling of closeness to her mother washed over Olive.
Half an hour later, their bulletproof black luxury car stopped. Logan personally opened the door for Olive. โOlive, weโre here.โ
Olive stepped out, her pupils constricting slightly. This was familiar territoryโthe backyard of the Academy of Sciences. Before her stood a dark red door with a lock, guarding a forbidden area. She had once stolen the key from Nora and snuck in, encountering two wolves. She never expected to return.
Logan held a key. He opened the door with a click, revealing a dark red entrance that creaked open. He gestured for Olive to enter.
Olive walked into the dark forest, its end unseen. Logan led the way, clearly familiar with the path. โOlive, walk carefully, follow me closely. Don't stray; thereโs something your mother left here. The formation will cause you to fall if you enter it.โ
Olive immediately recognized the cliff from her last visitโher motherโs formation. She had nearly fallen then, but Elvis had saved her. The formation hadn't affected Elvis. Was he hiding a secret? Olive hadn't expected Elvisโs involvement; she felt he should be separate from all this, yet he always seemed entangled.
Suddenly, Olive felt soft soil beneath her foot. The next second, Logan's hand clamped onto her wrist, pulling her back. โOlive! Did you listen to me? You almost stepped into the formation! If I hadn't pulled you out, you would be dead!โ
Oliveโs intelligent eyes flashed. Her mind raced. This time, entering the formation revealed nothing, unlike last time when the second treasure chest was visible. Why? Though her heart raced, her face remained impassive. โLetโs go. Iโll follow you closely this time.โ
Logan led the way, avoiding the formation, through a secret passage. Olive followed, memorizing the route. As they reached the end, the light of dawn appeared. Greenland lay aheadโLoganโs territory, and escape would be difficult.
โOlive, Greenland is right before us. I said I'd take you out of Canada, and no one could stop me.โ
Olive replied calmly, โMr. Logan, I think you miscalculated. Look up and see whoโs ahead.โ
Logan looked up to see Damien and Alpha emerging from the dusk. Damien smiled. โLogan, where were you taking my daughter? I told you, you couldnโt escape with her.โ
Logan shook his head in disbelief. No one should know about this passage. Damien had somehow anticipated his move. โDamien, how did you know I was here?โ
Olive smiled. โLogan, I can answer that. Someone watches me 24/7. Didnโt you notice?โ
Logan hadnโt noticed anyone following. This person was incredibly stealthy. Then, another group approachedโElvis leading the way.
Oliveโs bright eyes met Elvisโs. She knew he knew everythingโabout her killing their child, about her escape attempt. Their gazes locked. His deep, narrow eyes showed disappointment. He extended a hand. โOlive, come here.โ
Oliveโs eyes welled. She shook her head. โElvis, let me go. Weโre done.โ
โOlive, donโt make me angry,โ he warned.
Ray appeared, swiftly grabbing Olive and pulling her to Elvisโs side. Logan stared at Ray and Peterson, standing behind Elvis.
