Chapter 31
The moment the ganodermata snapped in halt, Reberca’s heart ached as if it were bleeding.
Her fourth–grade ganodermata were worth 1,500 dollars! And Carla had supped them just like that!
Carla rummaged through the sack and commented in a sharp voice full of disdain, “There are so many wild fruits and mushrooms on this mountain, yet you chose these unless things.”
Chad nimbly tied Rebecca’s hands behind her back. For fear that she might scream, he pulled a napon from his pocket and stuffed it into her meath. By now, the sun had completely set.
Chad shot a glare at Carla. “Stop wasting time! There’s nothing valuable in that sack. Toss it away. We need to send her to Niko now!”
Rebecca’s long lashes quivered as she kept her head down. Niko? Who was that?
She was outnumbered and overpowered. There was no way she could fight the couple,
Her face fell. Could it be that her second chance at life would end here before she had even begun to live it to the fullest? If she were to dle younger in this life than
The powden Rebecca could do nothing as the couple stred her onto the tractor. Though she was cushioned by a layer of straw, the uneven ride caused her to bump against the hard edges of the vehicle.
The couple started the tractor while Rebecca haddled in the back. Her surroundings grew darkes until the headlights, were the only source of illumination. How was she supposed to save hell?
Meanwhile, Christopher stood in a police station.
A police officer gave him an awkward look and said, “Captain Grant… The power lines in this area were down until noon today. We’re only able to retrieve surveillance footage from the attemoonward, but there’s been no sign of the lady you’re looking for ”
Christopher’s icy demeanor grew colder, and the air around him felt like a trozen abyss. Where could Rebecca have gone so early in the moning?
He walked out of the station with a grim expression and scanned the biting streets, but there was no trace of her amwhere
Logically, he shouldn’t have to care about her safety. His responsibility had been to bring her to Culary, and what happened afterward was up to herself. But as the sky darked, an unease rugged in his chest.
Suddenly, he recalled Rebecca’s promise to prepare medicine to prove her abilities. If she were serious about that, she’d have to collect herbs. But where could she have gone for that?
Once the thought popped up in his mind, Chinatopher didn’t waste another second. He headed straight for the bus station.
When Christopher arrived at the ticket counter, the final bus of the day pulled into the station.
A group of burly steelworkers got off chatting and laughing. Among them, Romeo was the first to notice Christopher
Ne nudged his companions and pointed subtly. Upon seeing Christopher, Hugh and the others fell silent
In this era, being in the military camed immense social respect. Families with members serving in the military were revered and seen as blessed.
Dressed in his military uniform, Christopher radiated anair of righteous authority. His towering height of nearly six foot three made him impossible to ignore. Holding his packet, Romeo approached and greeted him respectfully, “Captain Grant.”
