Chapter 1866: Captured Again

Vicki suddenly grabbed his arm, her voice softened, and it was even difficult to notice her fingers

trembling slightly.

"I don't want to see those consequences. I'm genuinely worried about you. Do you understand?"

Felix, with his long arms, suddenly embraced Vicki tightly. In fact, he had wanted to do this for a long

time. From the moment he first saw her in the hall, he had the urge to hold her in his arms, unable to Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

resist the desire to keep her by his side and never be apart again.

"I understand. But I really don't want to be separated from you again, not even for a minute. Do you

understand? I'm fine, I know the condition of my body."

Vicki leaned against Felix's embrace, feeling the warmth of his body. She let out a long sigh. "Alright. If

you feel cold, you must tell me immediately."

"Mm." Felix lowered his head and gently kissed her lips, but only briefly, because there were others

nearby. He didn't let his longing take over completely. He just needed to endure a little longer until

everything was over. Then they could be together forever.

As they continued deeper into the mountains, Vicki suddenly frowned.

"Felix, have you smelled anything unusual?"

Felix shook his head. "I've had a cold these past few days, so I haven't smelled anything. What's

wrong? Is something off?"

"It feels like there's a faint smell of burning coming from up ahead, not like the smell of a wildfire." Vicki

pointed diagonally ahead. "Over there, I'm sure it's that direction."

Felix furrowed his brow. "Could it be a trap? Are they intentionally leading us there? Should I signal Mr.

Ball and Mr. Warner to come and join us?"

"I'm not sure, but if there's a strange smell, there must be someone. It's also possible that they are

destroying something. If we hastily call Mr. Ball and Mr. Warner, it might draw too much attention. It's

better if we investigate cautiously ourselves." Vicki pondered for a moment.

"Alright, let's do that." Felix waved his hand, signaling the people behind them to follow.

He gave some instructions and arranged for them to advance toward the destination in a flanking

formation.

To avoid making too much noise, the group dispersed and quietly infiltrated the area.

As they walked deeper, Vicki suddenly pulled Felix and dragged him behind a large tree.

Felix's expression changed as he followed Vicki's gaze.

Sure enough, amidst the lush bushes, wisps of blue smoke rose, obscuring most of the view. But

faintly, they could see several figures moving around. There were indeed people here, and they had no

idea what they were doing.

Suddenly, a person rushed out of the smoke, as if trying to grab something.

In passing, his entire face was revealed.

Vicki had excellent vision, and she saw it clearly. She muttered, "It's him!"

Felix lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong? Do you know this man?"

Vicki whispered, "I've seen him twice. He's one of Athena's subordinates."

"What! How could Athena's people be here? Could it be..." Felix seemed to have realized something,

his eyes widening as he stared at Vicki.

"Could it be that Seren has joined forces with Athena?" Felix almost couldn't control his voice. He

quickly covered his lips.

Vicki furrowed her brow. "Lower your voice. It's not 'could it be,' it's certain! I don't know when they

started collaborating. Maybe even earlier. Damn it, Athena is everywhere."

Felix looked disgusted. "This woman is truly relentless, so annoying. Whenever she's involved, nothing

good comes out of it. I've been wondering how Seren managed to gather so many people. Turns out he

had someone helping him behind the scenes. But it's a bit strange."

"You mean that Athena and Seren's collaboration might be unknown to Cloud. Otherwise, Seren

wouldn't have been able to kidnap me from Cloud's hands, right?" Vicki asked.

"Mm. It also means that Seren was able to infiltrate Cloud's secret base and accurately know about the

underground drainage network. Athena must have informed him." Felix analyzed. Suddenly, he slapped

his thigh. "Oh no, if they're working together, Athena is quite capable. If they take Seren to Rohomes,

we won't be able to touch them. It will cause us more trouble."

"Not for now, because Seren won't be content until he gets what he wants." Vicki suddenly looked at

Felix's chest, her eyes burning.

Felix felt a bit embarrassed. "What are you looking at?"

Vicki glanced at him sideways. "What do you think? I'm looking at the pendant on your chest. I used to

see you wearing it often, so it must have a special meaning or contain something special."

Felix smiled. "You're indeed the cleverest. Yes, the key that Seren wants is hidden inside the pendant."

"You have to keep a close eye on it," Vicki admonished. "We mustn't let Seren get hold of it."

"I understand, I know. It's not about the money, but if Seren gets his hands on the funds that could turn

the tables for him, it will only bring us more trouble in the future." Felix nodded. "Rest assured, even if I

have to destroy the vault, I won't let him have a single penny."

Vicki nodded.

They waited for a while, and Vicki whispered, "I suspect they're destroying documents, probably

Seren's previous activities or the secret communications between him and Athena."

"Should we stop them?" Felix hesitated. "Should I inform Mr. Warner now?"

After thinking it over, Vicki agreed, "Yes, you can."

"Alright." Felix stood up straight and was about to make contact, but he realized that the signal wasn't

good under the big tree.

"I'll probably have to find a different spot. Wait here for me. I'll go to an open area to send the message,

and I'll come back as soon as I'm done." Felix silently moved away towards a more distant hiding

place.

Vicki remained in place, unmoving.

At that moment, Vicki suddenly noticed that the people hidden in the bushes seemed to be moving.

She whispered, her heart shouting that something was wrong. Could it be that they wanted to retreat?

She couldn't let any opportunity slip by. Her body reacted faster than her brain. She quickly got up,

disregarding everything else, crouched down, and hurriedly ran into the bushes.

As she approached the bushes, suddenly, a thicker smoke rose out of nowhere, almost covering the

surroundings. She found herself in the midst of dense fog, unable to see anything.

"Damn it, I fell for their trap." Vicki regretted, but it was too late.

She felt her wrist being firmly grasped, and on the familiar back of the hand, there was a familiar tattoo.

Her heart sank. It was Seren.

She had fallen into Seren's hands once again!
