Hiding Behind Her Superficiality

Chapter 596

Chapter 596 Traitor

This time, since Federick’s comrade was among the captured, he met up with Mary and bought three women.

Callum understood why he was in this position, and he said, “This isn’t something you can change by yourself.”

Loud bangs kept coming from the door. “What now?” Yelena thought it was scary. “They’re chopping down the door.” She had never seen something this abhorrent.

Elspeth patted her back to calm her down and turned to Callum. “How many are out there?”

“About twenty to thirty.”

She looked down. “Why don’t we kick their butts?”

He shook his head. “I don’t think that’s a good idea. There are too many of them. Even if we defeat these people, there will be more after that.”

“I have a better idea.” She took out a bottle of drugs. “My master gave this to me. He said it could temporarily knock people out, but I have never used it.”

Callum’s eyes shone. “That’s a good idea. Any spray cans here, Federick?” Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

I see what they’re getting at. He took a bottle of insect repellent from the windowsill and poured everything out. He then rinsed it and handed it to Elspeth. “Only one, but I think it’s enough.”

Elspeth took the bottle and poured her drug into it, then she added some water and shook it. “I’ll do it. They’ll be knocked out in a minute.”

She was about to go out, but someone held her hand. “No. That’s too dangerous. I’ll go.”

Callum wouldn’t let her risk herself, but Elspeth wasn’t that weak. “I’m a better fighter. Don’t forget that I’m a karate champion.”

He wasn’t doubting her, but he was just worried. These people were brutes. If they hurt her, he would make sure this whole village was leveled and destroyed.

While they were trying to take the can, Federick stood up. “I’m their target. If I go out, they’ll let their guard down, so let me do it.” Before they could say anything, he took the spray can and straightened himself out. He then shouted, “Stop it right now!”

The villagers stopped attacking the house.

Buck shouted, “Come out here and give Yelena to us if you know what’s good for you, or we’ll keep mowing your house down!”

Yelena was shivering in fear. They want me?

Federick looked at her and smiled. “Calm down. Don’t worry. I won’t hand you to them.”

With a trembling voice, Yelena asked, “What if you get hurt? What if they attack you?” Her lips were turning pale as well.

Federick was amused. “Are you worried about me?”

He’s still trying to crack a joke? Frustrated, she said, “What are you talking about? You’re my friend, of course, I’m worried about you. You can’t joke right now.”

The light in Federick’s eyes dimmed. He turned around and muttered, “Just a friend, huh?” He raised his head and perked up, his eyes clearing up. “This is beyond us. I’ll buy us some time, and remember

to lock the door once I leave.” He then went out.

Elspeth and the rest stayed inside. The noise completely died down in just a minute, and then someone knocked on the door.

Yelena quickly opened it, and Federick was standing outside smiling at her. She almost cried. “That was scary.”

She looks so hurt. He patted her head. “Alright, calm down. I’m not that weak.”

Elspeth and Callum weren’t worried. They knew he was sure he could take these people the moment he left so confidently. Federick was a lot more powerful than they thought. He could even be on par with Elspeth. Only an airhead like Yelena would think he was engaged in a deadly battle and wait with worry.

“They’re taken care of, but I think more are on their way. We have to leave now.” Federick wanted to see if he could teach these people to be good citizens, but these people had no conscience at all.

Elspeth thought he had a point, so she started packing up.

Yelena noticed something wrong. “Hey, there should be six of us, but now there are only five.” There were three college girls including me. The scaredy-cat’s been hiding in the room next door, but I haven’t seen her lately, especially this morning. She’s gone off somewhere and didn’t come back.

Enna was conflicted. “She left at 6.00AM. I was going to the bathroom, and I called out to her. She said she was fine.”

“So, should we help her?” Yelena’s heart told her she couldn’t leave this girl, but their circumstances were difficult. If they didn’t leave now, they might never be able to leave.

Noticing her concern, Elspeth volunteered herself. “You guys leave. I’ll search for her.”

“No. You’re not staying in this place alone. It’s dangerous,” Callum vetoed the suggestion.

Just when they were in a dilemma, a commotion broke out at the entrance. The missing college girl appeared and was standing in front of a big group of people, pointing at Yelena. “They’re the ones who told the public Yelena is here.”
