"Your car is over there. Take everything out of it and drive it into the river." Rosalie understood the severity of the situation. If she didn't do as he said, she might get dragged into this, and the police would eventually find out what happened here. This man was rather meticulous.

"Who exactly are you?" Rosalie wanted to talk to him, afraid that he might lose consciousness.
"I'm not a good person. The less you know, the better." Vincent pulled out a first aid kit from a hiddenpartment in the back seat. Inside were bandages. He took off his shirt, revealing his well-built muscles, and wrapped the bandage around his wounds to stop the bleeding.

Rosalie didn't know what kind of medicine it was, but after taking it, he seemed to gain a bit more strength, though he still looked pale.
Finally, Rosalie drove the car to a secluded area. It was a remote neighborhood with very few houses. The ones that were there were spaced far apart, and most appeared to be uninhabited.
