Chapter 617 An Expectation (1/2)
”We got a news that Miss Laney was kidnapped here, so... But what on earth happened? Miss Laney, why did you...” Those figures looked at the clothes scattered on the ground with little confusion and couldn't guess at all.
”I'm fine. My identity has been known to all, so I can't stay in Evian City any longer. We have to go back to the Timber Deity Empire right now,” said Laney. She shook her head very calmly and then went out of the cave while wrapping her robe more tightly. But soon she turned around and said, ”You better forget what you saw just now. If anyone dares to disclose it, don't blame me for being ruthless.”
”Yes, Miss Laney. We obey as you say.” Those figures cupped their hands and bowed hurriedly.
Soon Laney left the cave and disappeared in the dim moonlight under the protection of these figures.
As Rocky walked out of the dense jungle with tall dark conifers, he looked at Laney and other figures disappearing. Rocky sneered and said to himself, ”You must be curious to know why I didn't kill you? You are still useful for me. I would rather keep you alive than kill you. Maybe you can be a trump card of mine.” After that he disappeared from the land of tall trees in the jungle.
Lance had already asked someone to deliver the information to Isis informing her that Rocky was back.
Isis had been sending people to look for Rocky during the period that he was missing. So when she heard that Rocky was back, she finally felt relieved. Meanwhile, she went back to the base camp as soon as she got the news because Lance wanted to meet her urgently.
After returning to the base camp, she went straight to Lance's study.
His study was this vast room with mild yellow light and wooden cabinets. Isis always met her father there when she had to talk in person.
”Father... I'm here,” said Isis as soon as she entered Lance's study. Lance was stuck at a moment of contemplation when Isis arrived.
”You are back! Thank God,” said Lance. With a kind fatherly smile, he was very happy to see his daughter after long.
