Chapter 671
“Does it really make a difference?” Belicia sighed, rolling het eyes at Maurice’s irritating voice. Since he couldn’t see her reaction, she resorted to mockery. “If you’ve got something to say, spit it out. If not, hang up”
On the other end, Maurice let out a faint sigh. He lowered his voice and spoke in a tone that was tinged with an uncharacteristic bitterness, “You really do hate me.
huh?
Before Felicia could respond, be quickly shifted his tone, slipping back into his usual regeish persona. With a drawl, he added, “No big deal I just wanted to hear your voice and have a little cut You know, build some rapport”
Felicia couldn’t help but chuckle dryly. “Rapport? Do we even have anything to build on? Mr. Glovers, if you’re so free, maybe find something better to do.”
With that, she hung up, unwilling to entertain his nonsense any longer.
Scarlet, who had been scanning the terrain, waited until Felicia was done with the call before speaking up, “Boss, I’ve got a bad feeling about this.”
“What’s wrong?” Telicia asked.
“I can’t quite explain it, but my eye has been twitching non–stop. I’ve got this sense of dread,” Scarlet said, her expression serious. “It’s just a really bad feeling”
Instinct was an unreliable thing, but sometimes, it was hard to ignore.
Scarlet stopped walking and turned to Felicia with a firm look. “Boss, 1 think you and Ms. Russell should stay in the cat. Let me go ahead and check the situation. Il it’s safe, you can come up afterward.”
Felicia patted Scarlet on the shoulder but didn’t stop walking, “We’ve come this far. There’s no turning back now. Besides, it you’re worried about me, don’t you think I’d be worried about
Imogen nodded in agreement. She wasn’t about to stay behind without knowing what was happening
Scarlet sighed, knowing there was no point in arguing further.
At that moment, another deatening explosion echoed through the air. The ground beneath them trembled as all three of them looked up. Yet another mushroom cloud, identical to the previous ones, 100 from the same location.
Felicia quickened her pace. She didn’t know what was happening ahead, but the repeated use of explosives could only mean something serious.
Hel wally wasn’t just about what lay ahead. The venomous creature inside het remained a constant threat, and the sound of the bronze bell that could control her mind lingered in her memory. She had no idea when they might ring again or what she might do under their influence
That was all the more reason to press forward only by capturing the robed figure and eliminating the source of her torment could she free herself from the venomous creature’s control.
What Felicia did’t know was that at the location of the explosions, two vehicles were frantically flaring for their lives. During the second blast, one of the vehicles narrowly avoided bring blown apart, barely dodging the impact in time,
In the first car sat johanna, who had been the one issuing threats not long ago. In the back seat of the second vehicle wa the robed figure, fully covered from head to toe, alongside a pale- faced Pete, who was being tossed around by the bumpy ride.
“Damn it! They really dare to pull this of!!” The robed Egure’s voice was seething with fury. The bronze bell i his hand swung so violently that they left afterimages in the air. The so from the bell stated the venomous creatures within, waking them from their dormant state,
Pete asked, “in what are you planning to do?”
“What will I do? I’ve had enough! The robed figure’s voice was vicious. “I’m going to make that girl from the Fuller family
of the venomous creature eating away at him! They’ll have no choice but to stop bombing this mountain!”
As he spoke, the sound of the bronze bell rang out, their eerie chime carrying far and wide by the wind.
