Chapter 1084 - 1084

Stillwater Town, a mountainous town under Mountridge County's jurisdiction.

Upon entering the town area, Dirk Carter didn't act recklessly but had Elbert Rivers get out of the car to ask the locals for information about the paths leading out of the country.

After some inquiries.

Elbert Rivers marked two exits on the map.

The first exit is a county road connected to Ardmore City.

Though the road conditions aren't great, it's still possible to drive out.

The other is a path that vehicles can't traverse; one needs to hike at least three kilometers to enter Ardmore City.

Elbert Rivers believes Astrid Giles would definitely take the main road because it's faster to enter Ardmore City by car.

But Dirk Carter had a different opinion.

Two points.

The first point is that the main road likely means roadblocks, and Astrid Giles is on the run; she's certainly afraid that Dirk Carter would notify Ardmore City's police for assistance in setting up controls.

Second, if she takes the county road, Astrid Giles might have already left the area.

The Mountridge County police wouldn't launch such a large-scale "stop" operation; from this, it's clear that, at the very least, Astrid Giles hasn't successfully left the area at this moment.

There are two roads.

Only two people.

Impossible to act separately.

Dirk Carter contemplated for a moment and said, "Let's take a gamble; let's check out the path. If she escapes, at least I've tried my best."

After making this decision.

The two continued driving forward.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, they got excited.

Because at the entrance of the path, there were two parked cars.

Neither of these cars had license plates, and peeking through the windows, they were empty inside.

This place isn't frequented by people.

Chances are these cars were abandoned by Astrid Giles and her group.

"Get out, pursue!"

Dirk Carter said without hesitation.

"What about her?"

Elbert Rivers asked Dirk Carter.

Dirk Carter turned to Dulce Lewis and said, "We have to execute this task; you stay here and don't wander off."

After leaving those words behind.

The two began pursuing along the path.

In the meantime.

Elbert Rivers made a call to Heath Woods, informing him of their specific location before quickening his pace.

Persistence pays off.

After sprinting forward for more than a kilometer.

Dirk Carter and Elbert Rivers almost simultaneously spotted four or five silhouettes on the path.

They pursued a hundred meters further, finally seeing clearly.

There were five people total.

Four men and a woman.

Each of the four men carried a box in one hand, with the woman in the middle unmistakably being Astrid Giles.

After all, having dealt with her for so long.

That slim build is certainly distinctive.

"Astrid Giles!"

Dirk Carter knew he must delay them.

So he suddenly shouted.

Sure enough.

Astrid Giles immediately stopped, seeing it was Dirk Carter, she shivered.

"Astrid Giles, you can't escape; surrender yourself."

Dirk Carter and Elbert Rivers cautiously approached, keeping an eye on their surroundings.

At this point, Astrid Giles saw clearly; Dirk Carter seemed to only have one person with him, and she whispered something to the men beside her.

The four men then put down their suitcases.

"Dirk Carter, you really are like a clingy plaster, but you're quite clever, finding my escape route."

At this moment, Astrid Giles had calmed down from her anxious mood.

Dirk Carter came within five meters and said, "No choice, justice may be slow, but it never fails, there's truth in that."

"Really? You come with just one person and talk to me about justice?"

"How do you know I'm alone?"

Dirk Carter counter-questioned.

"Hahaha..."

Astrid Giles burst into laughter.

She said, "Dirk Carter, I admit you have some ability, but trying to fool me isn't easy. I thought this would be it for us meeting, but you came to me, which is fine; let's settle this."

After she finished speaking.

The four strong men exchanged glances.

Proactively advanced towards Dirk Carter and Elbert Rivers.

As they walked.

Each revealed a dagger from their hands.

"Be careful."

Dirk Carter reminded Elbert Rivers.

The two gritted their teeth and charged toward the four of them.

A fight was inevitable.

Dirk Carter had some skills, and Elbert Rivers, coming from a police background, wasn't bad himself.

They were confident in a two-on-two confrontation.

But as soon as they fought, both were mistaken.

The four opponents weren't simple either.

After only a couple of moves.

Dirk Carter's arm got slashed.

Elbert Rivers seemed fine, but he got a kick in his abdomen.

It was tricky.

But given the circumstance, there's no choice.

The two charged again.

Still a two-on-two.

This time Dirk Carter understood the opponent's strengths and weaknesses.

After being kicked to the ground by one of them, he grabbed a handful of dirt.

Leapt up with a carp-like jump.

Seeing one of them rushing forward.

He threw the dirt into his eyes, temporarily blinding him.

In an instant.

Dirk Carter seized his hand.

Moved from his shoulder to his wrist, twisted it forcefully; the man screamed, and Dirk Carter snatched the dagger away.

Seeing Dirk Carter had a weapon.

The other didn't flinch.

He thrust a knife toward Dirk Carter's waist.

No way to dodge.

In desperation, Dirk Carter pulled the blinded man in front of him.

With a puff, the knife pierced the blinded man's waist.

"Ah…"

Another scream.

In this situation, Dirk Carter could have subdued the other person.

But Elbert Rivers had trouble.

Being pressed tightly by the two opponents, Elbert Rivers was driven backward until he stumbled on a rock.

Just as he fell to the ground.

One opponent jumped on him, stabbing Elbert Rivers in the abdomen.

Elbert Rivers coincidentally felt a rock at that moment, he struck it down on the knife wielder's head.

The man grunted and fell down.

Seeing this, the other, holding the knife reversed, aimed for Elbert Rivers's thigh for another strike, in an instant.

Dirk Carter abandoned his advantage.

Rushed over with a flying kick.

Knocked down the one sneaking up on Elbert Rivers.

Sitting on him, punched him hard in the face.

This punch was mighty.

Before the man could react, he fell unconscious.

With six people fighting.

Three opponents lay down.

Elbert Rivers couldn't get up.

Only Dirk Carter and the last one were left.

That person was also enraged, losing sight of any strategy.

Gripping the dagger, he charged at Dirk Carter shouting.

Dirk Carter couldn't care about Elbert Rivers.

Jumped midair, whipped a leg kick to the assailant's head.

After the person flew back, he didn't faint.

But gestured to get back up.

Dirk Carter swiftly.

Took a step and sat on him.

Just about to reverse the knife handle and smash it fiercely against his head, an accident happened…
