“I can’t talk calmly right now! I’m about to explode! Pete, you’d better give me an exnation!” The man in the ck robe was clearly on the edge of losing control
hing major must h have happened.
Tu make someone like him lose control, something
And what the man in ck was obviously fixated on was likely rted to the group of women who had been kidnapped.
Pete, sharp as ever, quickly guessed what happened <b>and </b>asked, “Did they escape?”
<b>“</b>They didn’t escape. They were fucking rescued! The mun in ck was getting more and more furious. “I just returned to the basement and found that all the Jocks have been pried open. Everyone is fucking <b>gone</b>!”
The man’s anger was escting, and even though his face was hidden<b>, </b>his voice canied a terrifying snarl, “The person who rescued them even left me a note! Do you know what’s written on it? Do you know what <b>it </b><b>says</b>?
A note that could make someone <b>this </b>angry had to be pretty impactful
Fete rubbed his forehead, feeling extremely <b>agitated</b>. “Who the hell could find the basement and break through all those traps to rescue them<b>?</b>”
Five hours earlier, Felicia borrowed a car from the Russell family and left with scarlet and two others. During the drive, Felicia kept her <b>head </b>down, fiddling with her phone andptop.
Monkey’sst known location before he went missing was at
at the foot of a mountain, and there were no further <b>leads</b>.
Felicia opened the satellite tracking, zooming in on the mountain and carefully studying it.
Scarlet, while driving, asked, “Boss, do you think this will yield <b>any </b>results? It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.”
Without even lifting her head, <b>Felicia </b>replied, “We have no choice. It’s our only option left. The people behind this wouldn’t be hiding in some remote wilderness. They must have a base of operations.
“Let’s assume their hideout is on that mountain. Do they not eat or drink? They must go out at some point. So, we’ll find the easiest routes into and out of the mountain. Perhaps <b>we’ll </b>find some traces.”
Felicia carefully noted a few positions before finally lifting her head and stretching
After nearly an hour of driving, they arrived at the foot of the mountain where Monkey went missing. Five more mercenaries were <b>already </b>waiting there. When they saw Felicia get out of the car, they all greeted her, “Good evening, boss!”
Felicia <b>nodded </b>and asked, “Did you prepare everything I asked for<b>?</b>”
They all nodded and patted their backpacks. “Everything’s ready.”
“Then, let’s head into the mountain.”
Felicia was dressed in a ck hoodie and dark jeans. She had swapped into a pair of sneakers. The result <b>was </b>a clean and simple hiking outfit.
This time, it wasn’t just about climbing the mountain. It <b>was </b>a nighttime search operation.
Felicia took a shlight and handed out the temporary map to the others while giving instructions, “You two will take these two routes into the mountain. If you find anything, make sure to signal!
“If the enemy
<b>has </b>more people and you can’t fight <b>back</b>, run as fast as you can. Don’t try to be <b>a </b>hero. I don’t want to <b>save </b>Monkey and then have toe back for you. Do you hear me?”
Felicia’s <b>tone </b><b>was </b>serious<b>, </b><b>her </b>gaze sweeping across each person’s <b>face</b>. Only when they all nodded did she look away. “Let’s go!”
