The terrifying force and speed of the multi-ton car moving through the air had forced it to violently crash through the heavy reinforced walls of the Fortis compound. The steel gate shattered and the concrete pillars broke apart under the sheer kinetic impact. However, the defensive outer wall itself was incredibly sturdy, absorbing the brunt of the shock and allowing the crumpled chassis of the SUV to only briefly skid across the front of the courtyard before grinding to a violent halt.
The fact that the sprawling courtyard at the front of the building was mostly made of thick, manicured grass and decorative stonework also helped arrest its momentum, preventing it from crashing directly into the lobby doors.
Thankfully, no one had been hit by the flying vehicle, as Max had strictly ordered that no one was to be standing right by the vulnerable entrance of the doors when the initial breach occurred. It was a calculated retreat.
