"Ms. Mosley, you're here!" Several bodyguards rushed over to Bianca. Chris had sent them to accompany her.
Since this area was in the mountains, Chris wanted to ensure Bianca's safety, even if he didn't hold her in high
regard. When the Hamerton bodyguards arrived, he assigned most of them to follow her.
"Ms. Mosley, it's getting late. Let's head back quickly!"
"Hey!" Bianca stopped them.
They paused and exchanged glances, awaiting her instructions.
"Although it's getting late, I need to take a few more photos," Bianca explained.
"Ms. Mosley, what else do you need photos of? We'll accompany you."
"Do you have a car?"
The bodyguards pointed to the car parked on the road outside the school.
"Alright, I want to go to the other side of the mountain to take some photos. Drive me there." -
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNight had fallen, and the mountain road was treacherous. The driver remained intensely focused, controlling the
speed as they moved forward.
"Are you following closely?" Bianca fiddled with her phone and tossed it onto the seat in frustration when she
couldn't get a signal.
"We've been keeping a close eye," the driver replied, "Ms. Mosley, these mountain roads aren't suitable for driving.
Walking might be faster. That boy is much faster than us..."
"Quiet!" Bianca glared at him. "Stay vigilant! If you lose him, you'll have to answer to me!"
"Yes, yes!" The driver forced a smile. "But Ms. Mosley, should I turn on the car lights? It's really dangerous this
way..."
"If we use the lights, he'll notice us!"
"Without lights, we have to keep a considerable distance!"
"Enough!"
Suddenly, they hit a bump, and Bianca nearly fell off her seat.
They finally reached the neighboring village close to 10:00 p.m.
The bodyguards, all big and imposing, had pale faces. The mountain road was dangerous, and Bianca had
forbidden them from using the car lights. They were unfamiliar with the terrain, and a mishap could lead to
disaster.
The village was in total darkness, but luckily, the moonlight was strong.
Bianca stepped out of the car, with the bodyguards following suit. She searched for Alexander's trail and forced the
bodyguards to assist her.
"Ms. Mosley, that boy seems to have gone in this direction," one of the bodyguards whispered. "I caught a glimpse
of a shadow."
Without a word, Bianca sprinted in that direction.
The village was eerily silent, and the mountains appeared even more menacing in the dark night.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBianca tred lightly on the village's narrow path, surveying her surroundings. She felt her heart racing, uncertain why
she had put her life on the line for this pursuit. Nonetheless, the uneasy feeling in her heart persisted until she
uncovered the boy's origin.
Suddenly, a roar reverberated throughout the village, sending shivers down spines in the dead of night.
"Are you heading to the city now that you've grown up? You're too good for your old man, huh?!"
Bianca's heart constricted, and she hurried toward the source of the voice.
It was a modest, thatched-roof house with half its tiles missing, replaced by straw. Half of the courtyard wall had
also crumbled.
In the pitch-black night, it looked desolate. Bianca wouldn't have believed anyone lived there if not for the
commotion from within.
"Speak! Answer me!" The furious shouting persisted. "Are you mute? I'm asking you a question!"
A dimly swaying lamp cast a dirty, half-shadowed glow on the scene.
Bianca squinted and identified Alexander standing at the entrance of the small house.
