Hera got into the driver's seat and started the car. Nathan's voice came through the walkie-talkie. "Wait, where is the location? How are you going to get there? I'll go back and take you there now!"
She told him the location and added, "I'll drive there. You guys rest first. I'll be back soon."
As she had finally gotten a clue, she couldn't wait anymore.
"Okay. Be careful, then." Nathan then realized something and asked, "By the way, do you have a driver's license?"
Hera skillfully turned the car around and drove toward her destination. She held the steering wheel with one hand and the walkie-talkie in the other. "I'll take the exam next year."
"Holy shit! Are you driving without a license? Stop right now! I'll take you there!" Nathan couldn't help but curse.
Hera listened to the rustling footsteps coming from the walkie-talkie and said, "I've driven a tractor in the village before. It's simple."
Tractor?
Nathan subconsciously imagined Hera driving a tractor. The scene was so weird that he couldn't continue imagining it.
"Is a tractor anything like a car? Stop messing around! If my colleagues find out, they'll scold me to death!"
Hera thought he was stubborn.
She stepped on the accelerator and turned a corner. "It's okay. We're in the countryside. There's no one on the road. Just treat it like I'm practicing driving in advance. Nobody will know if we keep it a secret!"
"Ahem, pretty girl, have you forgotten about me? I've heard your secret." Right then, Stephen's voice came from the walkie-talkie.
Hera instantly went silent.
As they spoke, she had already reached the destination. "I just arrived. I'll go take a look."
Nathan felt helpless. Hera was truly beyond his control, so he could only remind her, "Please be careful. I'll go over later with Stephen."
