Chapter 410


    Noticing Harold stopping, Evelyn thought he misunderstood her criticizing him, so she hurriedly


    exined, “What''s with you? I''m not talking about you. I''m referring to my sister''s kept man. Not only


    does he depend on a woman for a living, but he''s also full of deceitful boasts. I''ll never understand how


    my sister became attracted to him and even trusted him so much.”


    She would grit her teeth in exasperation whenever she mentioned Harold.


    Hearing that, Harold had the urge to set Evelyn down, turn around, and take off his mask to show her


    he was the “kept man” who had been risking his life to enter the dreadful forest to save her.


    Nheless, he figured she wouldn''t be able to recognize him in the pitch-ck surroundings even if


    he removed his mask.


    Besides, they were in The Poisonous Forest, so the mask was quite helpful as it could effectively shield


    him from those mosquitoes and other insects.


    After pondering for a moment, Harold decided not to dwell on that matter as he fathomed exiting that


    ce as soon as possible took precedence.


    With that thought in mind, he continued his journey while carrying Evelyn on his back.


    Evelyn found the forest ominous and frightening as it was dark and eerily quiet, so she deliberately


    initiated conversations with Harold to distract herself.


    However, the topics she coulde up with were all rted to berating Harold.


    After listening to her rebuking him for some time, Harold began having the false perception that it was


    indeed he who caused her tond in that perilous situation.


    Not bothering to entertain her, he hurried toward the exit.


    Harold abruptly came to a halt after a long time as he sensed he should''ve walked for almost half an


    hour.


    Judging by the time he took when entering the forest, half an hour should''ve been sufficient to reach


    the exit.


    After all, Evelyn didn''t wander deep into The Poisonous Forest, and he merely used around twenty


    minutes to locate her earlier.


    Not to mention, he even had to divert his attention to track her down at that time.


    Since they were now moving at a faster pace, Harold figured they should''ve arrived outside the forest


    by now.

    However, the environment around them remained unilluminated. Not even the moonlight could filter in


    through the dense canopy. Hence, he was very certain they were still inside The Poisonous Forest.


    To make things worse, the miasma in the surroundings seemed to have thickened.


    “I think we''re lost,” Harold uttered solemnly.


    “Lost? What should we do now?” Evelyn was astounded after hearing his remark. This is not an


    ordinary forest. This is The Poisonous Forest. If we don''t leave soon, we''ll be poisoned to death by the


    miasma even if we don''t get attacked by some wild beasts or unknown creatures. A prolonged stay in


    The Poisonous Forest can only result in inevitable death.


    “Get down. I''ll send our location to my subordinate and ask them to pick us up with a helicopter,” Harold


    said after thinking for a few moments.


    After putting her down, he took out his phone, nning to dial Quintus'' number.


    Unfortunately, he noticed his phone was out of service.


    Without any signal, he couldn''t make a phone call, much less share this location with others.


    Harold''s expression turned grim.


    Only then did he recall they lived in the 5G era, and no one would dare to enter the forest to install a


    5G base station there.


    Not to mention, the coverage of a 5G base wasn''t as expansive as 4G''s.


    5G''s only significant advantage was its exceptional speed.


    “We''re truly in a pickle now,” Harold said to Evelyn while showing her his device with no cell service.
