Chapter 11 The Dense Forest (2/2)

Soon after, Quincy learned what happened to Wanda. He knew the real estate agent that his people identified as the suspect.

He was notorious around the No.3 Mansion. He often invited girls over

, but no one usually took a second go. That real estate agent is a psychopath.

'How could Wanda wind up with that guy?' Quincy thought worriedly.

Somehow, the situation piqued his interest. 'I wonder where her courage to hit that man comes from,' he amusedly thought to himself.

Once again, he grew fixated about Wanda. She was the most interesting woman he had ever met.

Wanda, on the other hand, had no idea where she was. Her first instinct was to run forward desperately. Her body felt sore and bruised, as if she had fallen down a flight of stairs.

She knew what kind of person Quincy was. What was more, that Mr. Zhong was still back in the No.3 Building. There was no way that her fate would be better if she was captured back.

Not long after, she saw a sign that said 'West Mountain '. She braced herself and rushed towards the forest. Light was scarce due to how lush the trees were. Once, everything around her turned dark, and Wanda began to feel more at ease.

She found a moonlit space where she could rest against a tree. Wanda found herself enveloped in the beauty of the forest. The night was cold. The wind made the leaves and branches dance to its will. The lady heard a strange rustle. In a jiffy, she stood behind the tree.

Her mind was filled with thoughts of beasts that could be prowling onto her. As she looked behind, Wanda saw nothing but the vast darkness of the woods. She was petrified.

'I'm done for. What the hell should I do? Could there really be a beast in my vicinity?'

Wanda held herself tightly as an ominous breeze passed by. She stared nervously unto the dark of the night.

After all, she was only human. Naturally, her strong-willed heart was turned fear-stricken.

The forest's gloom suddenly sunk unto Wanda. And in an instant, her concern shifted from beasts to spiritual entities. Her goose bump covered body as she shivered uncontrollably.

Then suddenly, a black shadow appeared in front of her. She almost passed out because of panic. She couldn't help but scream. Wanda tightly covered her mouth so that no sound would escape from her. The black shadow then jumped up and down. Soon enough, it disappeared from Wanda's sight.

At that point, Wanda felt she was completely seized by fear.

She had gone through such a hard time. She wouldn't allow herself to be defeated like that. She had finally escaped from Quincy's grip and the future seemed brighter than before. She encouraged her fear-stricken heart.

Wanda looked up. She wanted to watch the night sky from where she stood. Unfortunately, the dense leaves of the forest blocked her view. She had no idea where she was and where to go next.

At a certain point, Wanda decided to leave the woods. She could not bear to sit idly and simply wait for her fate to come.

She then decided to randomly take a direction, hoping to eventually find her way out.

She was barefoot along the way. Wanda could feel how painful and tired her body was. She then looked at the lush dark forest behind her.

Wanda felt a bit depressed.

She took a deep breath as she clenched her fists.

'Dad, mom, please guide me out of this place. I don't want to stay here any longer.'

She continued to firmly walk through the dense forest in the dark of the night.

Eventually, Wanda saw a faint light in the distance.
