Keep in touch. If you need anything, I'll fully cooperate."
There were far too many ears around for Mira to elaborate further.
Once the chaos subsided, Sarah and George stood frozen in shock. "Mom, Dad, let's keep shopping."
"B-but... since it's so dangerous here, maybe we should just go home."
Sarah patted her chest, the residual panic leaving her trembling.
Mira was a veteran of countless battles from her past life, making incidents like this barely a blip on her radar. Ryan was young and adaptable, but her adoptive parents were entirely unused to such darkness.
"It's fine. Look at everyone else, they aren't scared. We have nothing to worry about."
Though still terrified, George gritted his teeth and stood firm for his family.
"Dad is right. There are so many people here, and cameras are everywhere. Even scammers have to resort to tricks to lure us into quiet spots. They wouldn't dare grab someone in plain sight."
Mira reassured them gently.
"Okay, okay, I'll be more careful. I won't let strangers get near me."
Sarah replied, forcing a brave face.
Mira had previously urged them to adapt to city life, and Sarah refused to hold her daughter back.
However, this encounter turned Sarah into a bundle of nerves; she flinched and grew highly suspicious anytime someone accidentally brushed past her.
Setting that aside, the moment they returned home, Mira dialed the memorized numbers for Silas and Jax.
