Chapter 168: Ambush

'I'm sorry, Master. Even now, I can't sense the array formation. We only detected it when we entered. Other than that, this array seems completely traceless,' Dame Wasp replied, her voice tinged with panic. She couldn't fathom how she'd missed something so critical. Then, as if things couldn't get worse, she added in a worried tone, 'Master, the array is blocking signals. We've lost contact with the outside world.'

'Damn it, we have to get out of here,' Ace responded mentally, his jaw tightening as his mind raced. He prepared to instruct the driver to turn the car around and head back to the bus stop where they'd started.

Before he could speak, the car abruptly stopped in the middle of nowhere. The driver turned to him with an unnervingly vacant expression and said in a cheery yet eerie tone, "You're here! Hope you enjoy your stay at Wesley Winery Resort & Spa. Don't forget to try their Weslian grape wine. And please, give me a five-star review!"

Ace froze, his eyes narrowing. He didn't respond or step out of the car. Instead, he stayed put, carefully assessing the situation while keeping an eye on the driver's expression in the rearview mirror. The man's frozen grin and glassy eyes told Ace everything he needed to know. 'Mostly like hypnotized,' he guessed grimly as there wasn't a trace of curse energy on the driver, which only made the situation more unsettling.
