Chapter 239 Terence Is Dead
Terence leaned on the tatty wooden bed and replied, "As of now, no.
When I go back, I''ll be sure to cover up my tracks. My number one goal right now is to recover. Second
is to wait for Marcus'' next action."
Ca blinked and tried to understand Terence''s words. "I see. If Marcus believed that you are dead, he
would surely do something. He would definitely return to JA City to ask your father for the executive
power over the An family. You n to unmask him then, right?"
Terence looked at her and smiled, "You guessed only half right.
I can almost predict how he will react. Marcus will shed crocodile tears over my death in front of my
father. If he wants to take the executive power smoothly, he must cover up the truth about my ''death.''
Anyway, don''t do anything and just wait."
Ca nodded and leaned on him.
She didn''t care about anything else. She was just pleased that Terence was still alive and would be
fine.
She would give him her full support no matter what he wanted to do or how he wanted to get his
revenge.
At that exact moment, at Marcus'' base area.
It was quite noisy and the ce was bustling with activity even though it was already past midnight.
Marcus pinched his nose while looking at the body under the white cloth. He couldn''t help but retreat.
"No wonder I can''t find him despite all of my efforts. Ha! It was already rotten at a ditch! It seemed as if
a lot of animals had taken it for food. Poor Terence!
I say, why do you have to end up like that, Terence? You could have made peace with me. Why did you
choose to be my enemy? You deserved this death!"
Marcus covered the body with the white cloth. When they found it, it was wearing Terence''s clothes and
inside a pocket was his cellphone.
The body was estimated to have died a long time ago. The corpse was already dposed to the
point that it couldn''t be recognized.
Johnny also rushed over as soon as he heard the news.
"Marcus, are you sure it''s Terence?" Johnny asked in disbelief. He couldn''t believe that Terence was
now dead.
"Who else can it be? It has the same height as Terence. The clothes and cellphone all belonged to
Terence. It can''t be anyone else!" Marcus said as he walked out of the room. He couldn''t stand the
stink anymore.
Johnny followed him out and said, "Marcus, I think you''d better be cautious. Don''t be fooled by him! I
suggest we do some DNA testing to make sure that it really is him. We could never be too sure."
Marcus sat on a chair and filled some wine for both of them.
"Johnny, take it easy! You should rx. Have a seat. I will send the body for DNA tests but I''m pretty

sure that the results will confirm that it''s Terence," Marcus said. He had searched the whole area inch
by inch for a whole month.
It would have been impossible for Terence to escape. He couldn''t have gone anywhere else.
He was only human. He was not superman who could fly into the sky or hide underground.
The only thing that was certain was that he was dead. It was only a matter of time before they were
able to find his body.
"All right! Rx, okay? We''d been nervous for a whole month. We can finally rest. Let''s celebrate our
victory!" Marcus raised his ss to Johnny.
Johnny raised his ss and thought, ''If Terence is dead, how about the woman?
How could she possibly survive the jungle alone?''
The thought of it made Johnny uneasy. He stood up and said, "Marcus. Since you already found him,
I''ll take my leave now. I want to return to JA City soon."
Marcus also rose to his feet. He patted Johnny''s shoulder and said, "All right. When I finish all my work
here, I''ll return too. See you then!"
Johnny nodded and walked out.
The next morning, Johnny led a group of people and marched into the jungle.
As for Ca, she already left NF in a helicopter with Terence.
Ca thought that Terence wouldn''t return to JA City because that would make him easy to spot.
However, Terence insisted that he should return to JA City. He didn''t stay in the Seaview Vi, of
course, but in a duplex apartment in the busiest part of JA City.
Nathan and Rainer took a vacation as soon as they returned. They needed some time to recover after
a month of fending for themselves in the jungle.
The part of the city where Terence decided to stay was bustling with activity. A lot of people came and
left every minute. They wouldn''t catch any attention while staying there.
"Mr. Terence is fine except for some inmed wounds. I strongly rmend for Mr. Terence to get
some IV drip for a few days. It would help him recover faster,"
the doctor told Ca after checking on Terence. Then he added, "It''s alreadyte. He can rest now. I''ll
return tomorrow to attach an IV drip on him."
"Thank you, doctor!" Ca thanked him and sent him out. The doctor was also disguised to prevent
anyone from noticing him.
The doctor was also one of Terence''s aplices. He wouldn''t give away Terence''s secret that he
was still alive.
They didn''t return to the Seaview Vi because people would surely notice as a lot of people would be
visiting them.
However, nobody would notice them if they stayed in the busiest part of the city.
When Ca opened Terence''s door, she found him already asleep. Ca crept into the room, closed
the door, and then walked quietly to his bed.
They hadn''t had a full sleep for a whole month. Terence and his men had to stay vignt day and night.
Rainer told her that they could only take a nap for less than twenty minutes in the jungle as their rest for
a whole day. The rest of the time, they needed to be awake to keep watch. Terence must be extremely
exhausted now.
The news of Terence''s ''death'' was spreading throughout JA City now. It already caused amotion.
Terence could take this opportunity to get a good rest.
Ca stared at her sleeping prince. She grinned and reached out to touch his scarred hand.
However, the moment she touched him, Terence woke up suddenly. His hand gripped her wrist hard.
"Ouch! It hurts!" Ca screamed as her face contorted in pain.
Terence let go of her immediately. After a moment, he took her hand again and frowned apologetically.
"Sorry, Ca. I overreacted. Come here and let me massage it for you!"
Ca smiled and kicked off her shoes. She rolled on top of him and said, "My hand is not hurt, but my
heart is! Can you massage my heart for me?"
She said while leaning down to embrace Terence. She stared at him naughtily.
Terence nced at her plump chest and grinned. "Ca, you are driving me crazy!"
"The doctor said that you are not allowed to do any exercise. You should rest. You need to follow the
doctor''s orders! Behave yourself for the next few months,"
Ca teased.
They could barely stay alive in the jungle for a month. They lived on anything they could find and took a
rest whenever they stopped. They behaved extremely during the hard times.
"Is that so? Ca, you are underestimating me. I can still do things even if I went missing for five
months! A month is nothing!" Terence smiled wickedly while grabbing her waist to pull her closer.
Ca poked him on the chest. "Don''t brag! I almost died when you went missing for a month. If you
were missing for five months, I would''ve given up!"
Terence held her chin and asked, "What do you mean? Are you saying that you''ll give up on me?"
Ca looked away and sighed, "Because if you still didn''t return after several months, I might''ve
assume that you were already dead! I might have also married someone else then to ease my
sadness!"
As soon as she finished talking, Terence gripped her waist tightly like he was going to snap it off.
"Don''t you dare!"
Terence warned.
