Chapter 867: Alice Sutton Bitten by a Venomous Snake…
Then he stood up and extended his hand to Arnold, "Let’s go, we need to keep moving."Arnold groped around and placed her small hand in Mark’s large hand, stood up with the help of Mark’s strength, and naturally hooked her arm around his as they continued towards the forest’s edge.
Alice Sutton, not far away and having found no food, saw this scene and couldn’t help but sneer, "Ha! With you two like this, you still say nothing’s going on? Even a ghost wouldn’t believe that!"
M Country, in the Chief’s office.
The chief’s confidential secretary stood upright before the desk, urgently saying, "Sir, something’s wrong, the little princess is in trouble!"
"What?" Sebastian Moore stood up from the chair in a flash.
His sharp eagle-like eyes turned to the secretary, nervously asking, "What did you say?! Isn’t Monica with Laurant Foster? How did something happen?"
The secretary looked at Sebastian Moore and hurriedly spoke, "A part of the squad led by Laurant Foster came back, responsible for escorting Mr. Sutton’s wife, Miss Alyssa..."
"Get to the point!" Sebastian Moore said coldly.
"Yes!" The secretary nodded and emphasized, "The helicopter carrying Alice Sutton in their escape crashed and exploded. At that time, Laurant Foster and the little princess were on that helicopter."
Sebastian Moore’s face turned pale, and he staggered back a step.
"Sir, please don’t panic first." The secretary looked at Sebastian Moore and quickly continued, "Our team searched the wreckage of the exploded helicopter but didn’t find Laurant Foster and the little princess! Now a part of our team is still searching and should find them soon."
Sebastian Moore’s eagle-like dark eyes were dire with gloom, as if they could drip water at any moment.
He slammed his powerful hand on the desk, his voice booming, "Laurant Foster! This is all your fault!"
"You better stay alive and keep my Monica alive too, or I won’t spare you!"
After finishing, Sebastian looked at the secretary and ordered, "Immediately prepare a helicopter to take me to Country D!"
"Sir!" The secretary looked at Sebastian Moore, objecting, "Your status is too high, it’s not..."
"Status my ass!" Sebastian Moore snapped angrily, "That’s my only daughter. If anything happens to her, I’ll skin you alive first!"
Sebastian Moore glared at the secretary, "What are you standing around for? Didn’t you hear me?"
"Yes, Sir!" The secretary saluted, "I will prepare the helicopter now and arrange for your travel to Country D!"
"Arrange my ass, I’m going to save my daughter, not going overseas for a visit!" Sebastian looked at the secretary and ordered, "Get a helicopter ready, bring a few bodyguards, and come with me!"
Thus, after learning that his daughter was in trouble, Sebastian Moore took his secretary and a few bodyguards to rush towards Country D.
And in the forest, Arnold was still unaware that aside from Silas and the others, her father had also personally come to find her.
At this time, she was resting against a tree.
Hearing Arnold’s sleeping sounds, Mark took a piece of meat and a wild fruit, stood up, walked to Alice Sutton, and handed them to her, "Remember, I just want to take you out alive to face your due judgment. It’s not because I’m afraid you might die, nor is it due to any of your threats!"
Alice said nothing, just took the food Mark handed over and started eating in large bites.
Mark turned around, walked back to Arnold, sat down beside her, and closed his eyes.
Alice, biting into the meat and gnawing on the wild fruit, her eyes vicious and venomous, glared in the direction of Mark and Arnold, thinking about how to survive, how to return the humiliation and torment she suffered hundreds and thousands of times over...
While Alice was consumed with malicious thoughts, she didn’t realize a venomous snake was slithering silently towards her.
Alice finished eating the meat and wild fruit Mark gave her and coldly spoke, "Don’t you want to take me out alive? I’m badly injured and need rest."
After speaking, Alice leaned against the tree behind her.
Coincidentally, the snake moving along the tree was right at the level of Alice’s neck.
At the moment Alice finished speaking, the snake struck, biting her neck swiftly.
Alice was bitten and reached up, grabbing at the thing biting her neck.
When she saw it was just a small three-inch snake, Alice dismissively threw it into the nearby fire.
Then Alice nonchalantly leaned back against the tree and closed her eyes.
But in the next second, she suddenly opened her eyes.
For no reason other than realizing that she had thrown a venomous snake into the fire!
Realizing this, Alice’s expression changed immediately.
She looked at Mark and called for help, "Laurant Foster, come and help me, I’ve been bitten by a venomous snake!"
Mark opened his eyes and looked at Alice.
Alice pointed to the spot on her neck where the snake had bitten her, urgently calling, "Laurant Foster, what’s the holdup? Hurry and help me!"
Mark stood up and walked towards Alice.
Seeing the mark on Alice’s neck, Mark asked, "Where’s the snake?"
Alice looked at the fire, "I threw it into the fire and burned it to death."
Mark looked into the fire, at the little snake’s body not yet turned to ash by the flames, "Originally, I thought by taking its gall, using poison against poison, maybe you could be saved. But now..."
"You mean I’m not saved!" Alice exclaimed in shock.
She looked at Mark, panic rising in her voice, "Laurant Foster, didn’t you say you would take me out alive? You can’t break your promise!"
Mark’s cold eyes turned towards Alice, "You brought this on yourself, can you blame me?"
Alice’s earlier cries woke Arnold.
Now Arnold looked towards Alice and said coldly, "You really are restless!"
Speaking, Arnold reached for a nearby stick, preparing to end Alice’s life directly.
"It’s not what you think!" Alice looked towards Arnold, hastily explaining, "I didn’t do anything, rather, I got bitten by a venomous snake!"
Hearing this, Arnold paused in her actions, "Boss, is what he’s saying true?"
"Yes, he really was bitten by a venomous snake, and the snake that bit him was indeed thrown into the fire by him." Mark looked at Arnold, speaking calmly.
