Viktor grabbed the necks of these two as he lifted them effortlessly and pinned them against the trunk of the trees behind them.

"Now, tell me who sent you people while I am still nice," Viktor said as his eyes focused on theirs.

But he then frowned and clutched their faces to make them open their mouths.

"What the fuck.." He was taken aback to notice that their tongues were severed and seeing the dumbfounded look on Viktor, the two men made gagging sounds as if they were trying to laugh.

It was as if they knew they were going to die anyway and were trained not to fear death. Viktor obviously understood this, seeing how even their tongues were cut off to prevent any sort of information leak even if they were tortured.

*Crack!*

Knowing that he wouldn't be getting anything out of these two, even with his Phantasm Eyes, he snapped both their necks as they collapsed on the ground.

"Shit...Taya might have been right.." Viktor mumbled since he had never come upon such hostels who seemed to have taken all precautions and measures to protect their identities and backgrounds.

He also saw how their fingers were scraped to not have any fingerprints.

It was as if whoever sent these men didn't care if they died while carrying out their mission or if anybody detained them.

"I have to tell her.." Viktor said to himself as he quickly got on his bike and followed the trail of Denys' car. He didn't dare to waste any more time since he had no idea if any other men were following the white SUV.

He didn't know for sure if Taya was the one being targeted by these men. But based on how high profile she was, he couldn't think of anybody else inside the car being the target. And nor was he going to make any leeway for risks.

Even though he was indestructible, it didn't mean others around him were.

Meanwhile, in Denys' car, no one, including Taya, had any idea that four vehicles behind them exploded, and the men that were trying to tail them had all died.

All four of them were conversing with each other while enjoying the music.

But Taya seemed distracted, as if she was thinking about something else.

"Taya, why are you so silent? Is something bothering you?" Denys asked in a tone of concern as he lowered the volume of his sound system.

"Yes, Taya. Even I noticed that you seemed distracted for the past few days and even more so today," Jessie added.

Denys chimed in, "Is there any problem, or were we wrong to pull you along for this celebration? I am sorry if I—"

"No, not at all. It's just some household things...nothing big," Taya said with a smile as she slightly shook her head.

"Must be about your daughter. We know how much you worry about her. Don't worry, Taya. Tia is just at that age, and soon she will understand how much help you are trying to do for her," Mary reassured as she held Taya's hand.

"Thank you, Mary. That means a lot," Taya said with a soft smile though she was thinking about a lot of things other than things related to Tiana.

"But don't worry. I am really looking forward to celebrating with you all. As Denys said, I could really use a break," Taya said with a soft chuckle.

"Trust me. You are going to love the preparations I made. His house also has a nice pool right in the back, and we could celebrate there," Sean excitedly said before glancing at the rear window momentarily.

Viktor wasn't making it obvious that he was following the white SUV since he wanted to find out where they were going without alerting them since they might change the destination if they saw that he was following them.

He wanted to know where Taya was going with these people, especially with two men inside the car at the dead of the night.

Even if the white SUV was not within a normally visible distance, Viktor had no problems tracking the car easily.

"Hey Denys, you have been single for so long. Why not marry a beauty already? I am sure even girls in their late twenties would readily accept a ring from you, hehe. After all, how could they miss out on a perfect man?" Sarah remarked casually, carefully observing his expression through the rearview mirror.

Mary and Jessie glanced at Sarah, wondering if she was hinting at the fact that Denys should get it on with Taya.

Mary and Jessie supported Sarah's words, "I know, right. Denys, you should marry before it's too late or someone snatches up your one true love, hehe."

"Oh, who is his one true love?" Taya curiously asked.

Denys glazed at Taya through the rearview mirror as he slightly laughed, "Haha, these guys just wouldn't miss out on a chance to tease me. But I guess I must confess that there is someone I am really interested in who is also working at our hospital. She is not only a peerless doctor but also beautiful and single like me as well."

"Wow, I didn't know you already had a crush in our hospital. Who is the lucky girl?" Taya asked with a smile.

Sarah frowned, seeing how her words backfired on herself, especially when she mentioned "late-twenties." So she couldn't help but give a veiled glare at Mary and Jessie for twisting her words.

Hearing Taya's question, Sean, Jessie, and Mary eagerly looked at Denys' expression to see how he was going to reply when his crush was sitting right behind him, and she herself asked the question as well.

Denys showed a hesitant expression, but finally, he sighed and said, "I guess you will be the first to know later. Now I am too shy to say, haha."

Jessies, Mary, and Sean inwardly sighed as they leaned backward, feeling that things didn't end as expected. But Denys could only give them sorry glances.

Soon, they all arrived before a nice-looking cottage-like building with modern facilities and nice ambient lights.

Everyone got out with happy expressions, looking forward to having a good time.

Denys looked at Taya and asked expectedly, "So did you like—"

But suddenly, a headlight flashed in Denys' eyes, making him shield his face with his hands as he heard the sound of a cruiser bike.
