Chapter 48: Jammed
"Are these people going crazy?" Jackson suddenly wondered.
Of course, this was quite funny considering there was nowhere to go if they were driving a car with the excuse of being afraid of the monsters surrounding the city.
That should have been their only reason, hoping to evacuate to another town. The problem is, they can get to other towns through roads.
In the end, they were just blocking the way of people who were actually leaving.
Miya\'s expression became rather gloomy with cold eyes. Even she seemed to want to unleash the power to attack the cars blocking their way.
"Boss, what should we do?" Kim Hana was confused by this situation.
Pa!
Suddenly Miya opened the door quite loudly, then stepped down.
"We\'ll walk, just leave the car here," she said.
Several people chose the same thing and it seemed that Miya couldn\'t think of any other way.
Oliver sighed and looked at Jackson.
He let go of the root used to release his body.
"Come down," he said coldly before stepping down.
Of course, he wasn\'t going to carry the man and he couldn\'t take out the shadow army here either.
The only way was to ask him to walk down by himself.
Miya clearly didn\'t care about that.
She or Oliver were sure that this man wouldn\'t dare to think of running away or doing anything strange since he was already know how strong they were.
With that, the four of them walked on foot through the side of the cars stuck in traffic.
Miya walked in front while Kim Hana walked side by side with Oliver.
Jackson was behind them, walking with his head down, like he had nothing to do with the three of them.
However, while the three of them were walking quite fast, Jackson was actually walking very slowly.
If it wasn\'t for them keeping a close eye on him, he would probably be so far behind that he could run away.
"Jackson, is your leg broken?" Miya asked in a cold tone, looking very annoyed that he had to keep slowing down his pace repeatedly.
"Uhmmm..." The man cleared his throat awkwardly.
"Miya, to be honest I only ate this morning. Now I\'m very hungry, can we stop for dinner?" he said in a very low voice, as if he was worried that his request would make Miya even angrier.
He occasionally glanced at the restaurants on the side that were still open or it could be said that they only opened at night.
Actually, Oliver was also thinking of having dinner. It was just that he felt that going to Jackson\'s house was more important.
However, since the man seemed unable to walk anymore, he thought maybe they should have dinner first.
"Aunt, let\'s go to a restaurant for a while. I\'m sure you must be hungry too," he said.
When he heard him say that, Jackson was instantly filled with joy.
At least someone had the same idea as him. That way, they would definitely have dinner.
As he expected, Miya nodded after that.
It seemed that she was indeed hungry now because from returning to the base until now, she hadn\'t eaten.
She actually slept too but woke up earlier than Oliver.
Miya then walked to a nearby fancy restaurant.
It was quieter than the other restaurants.
However, when she arrived at the entrance, she stopped her steps, looking at Jackson.
"You stay here, the waiter will come to deliver your dinner," she said in an indifferent tone before continuing her walk.
Oliver felt like laughing at that.
Maybe Miya didn\'t want the middle-aged man to be mistaken by others as one of them. Worse, someone might think he was her husband since they were both older than the other two.
Jackson didn\'t dare to move on because of Miya\'s order.
It was just that his expression was so ugly for being left alone in front of the restaurant\'s entrance.
When alone, he naturally had the idea of running away. However, he was still rational, thinking it wouldn\'t work.
Miya dared to leave him here, it must be because she was confident that she could keep an eye on him even from inside the restaurant.
As far as Oliver was concerned, all the guests at this restaurant were rich people who seemed to have just returned from hunting outside the city.
They wore good combat uniforms that were torn in places.
Their conversations revolved around their experience in fighting, their skills, and their current levels.
Most of them had reached Level 4 and 5. Some of the stronger ones had reached Level 6.
Of course, they also showed off the items they had obtained.
It was just that, even with how busy they were chatting, Miya\'s figure was like a magnet that attracted them.
She wasn\'t wearing perfume, but their gazes were still fixed on her before they realized there was a super beautiful woman coming to this restaurant.
"Wow!" Those people had more guts since possessing superpowers. Hence, they unhesitatingly showed an exaggerated reaction.
"Did she also just come back?" They wondered, not recognizing that the woman was Miya, the boss of the Elegantza Couture Group.
"Looks like she\'s still single," said some in their 30s and above.
"Her status must be unusual, better not do anything strange." The slightly smarter ones commented, reminding their friends not to be reckless.
"Come on, who knows if any of us will be lucky enough to get her heart. She might be older than she looks, but that doesn\'t matter. Even 20 years from now, she might still be that beautiful."
"..."
Miya with her keen hearing knitted her brows, not expecting a comment like this.
It wasn\'t that she wasn\'t used to being commented on, but now it was more impolite. Or maybe she usually couldn\'t hear disrespectful comments directly.
"Boss, do you want me to give them a warning?" Kim Hana asked in a low voice.
She felt she couldn\'t let them keep saying such nonsense.
