Gibson finally realized that something had gone terribly wrong at this point. How else could he explain the sudden appearance of so many trucks that surrounded them for no reason? 5
Moreover, from the looks of their stance, they didn't intend to let them escape, hence the parallel formation.
They had heavily-loaded trucks sandwiching them both front and rear, with the river roaring under the bridge. If these trucks were really coming at them, they would have no way out.
Gibson shuddered in horror and said, "Are they here for the kids? Why? These kids are just a bunch of low-life orphans!" 7
"That's right!" Gibson's brother said, "Besides, the police didn't even come after us yet. Why are these people here?"
As the two fleets of trucks were inching closer and closer to them, Gibson's brother had no choice but to stop the van.
Everyone in the van panicked, including Max. s
Max stumbled into an unending horror at the moment. No one knew the orphanage better than he did. If these children were gone, it was most likely that the police would undergo the investigation
instead of the force from the people. He was feeling rather peculiar as to why these strangers had come after them instead of the police.
However, there was one exception that made him go berserk.
The exception was Charlie, who had pushed him into this miserable state yesterday.
In the midst of confusion, he had a strong feeling that this had everything to do with Charlie. When the image of Charlie's unpredictable expression appeared i n his mind, he mumbled, "Did Charlie plan all this?" s
When the Iveco stopped completely, the large trucks began to drive closer and surround them in the middle of the circle. The seven adults in the van trembled in extreme terror. 7
Gibson took out a knife from his pocket and said, his voice shaky, "If they come at us, we'll fight back!" s
