Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract

Chapter 701: Love Takes Root (146)

Antonio also saw the head and his face instantly tightened even more.

"This little beauty looks pretty good, if we catch her, everyone will get a turn to have some fun!"

Antonio noticed Long Tianjiao’s fear and whispered, "Don’t be afraid, stick close to me, and we’ll try to run out of here."

The men didn’t have weapons like knives or guns on them.

Thus, Antonio felt slightly more confident.

If it were just him alone, it would be one thing, but now with Long Tianjiao, who knew no martial arts, how easy could it be for two people to escape?

But if the two of them fell into the hands of these barbarians, they would undoubtedly be doomed.

The consequences, needless to say.

Both of them were already exhausted, thinking they would finally see people and be rescued, they didn’t expect to have jumped into a bigger trap instead.

A group of people slowly closed in on them.

In the face of great danger, people can unleash tremendous strength.

Like Antonio now, though utterly exhausted, he became like a nimble and fierce leopard because he was facing a threat of death.

Fighting desperately and unyieldingly.

Once they got the chance to escape, he grabbed Long Tianjiao and ran, with the group chasing after them.

To not get caught, both of them ran aimlessly like headless flies.

Not running in any particular direction.

The group of men chased them for a long distance and only gave up when it got dark and they couldn’t see clearly.

By the time Antonio and Long Tianjiao stopped, they just sat down on the ground, too tired to move.

Hungry, thirsty, and cold.

Given these harsh conditions, one can imagine how desperate both felt inside.

But they still had to move on.

Staying put would only make their situation worse.

"My legs feel like they’re about to break." Long Tianjiao bent over, continually massaging her calves.

"So do mine, come on, let’s keep going. If we run into anyone else tonight, we really might die here."

"Mm."

After walking for nearly two more hours, they truly couldn’t move any further and then they saw a fire in the distance.

Their instincts tensed.

They rested on the spot for quite a while; they were so thirsty that if they didn’t drink water soon, they really wouldn’t make it.

After much thought, Antonio said, "I’ll go check it out by myself, you wait here for me."

Long Tianjiao grabbed his arm, "If we go, we go together."

"It’s easier for one person to slip away. If I don’t come back in an hour, you run. Understand?" Antonio instructed her, "Don’t foolishly come after me."

"No." Long Tianjiao wouldn’t agree, "If we die, we die together, if we live, we live together, Neo, no matter what, I want to stick with you, I won’t let you risk it alone, I’m coming with you."

Antonio heard the resoluteness in her tone and had to agree, "Alright, we’ll be extra cautious."

"Okay."

The two cautiously approached step by step, treading lightly. Since it was night, it was less likely for others to notice them, which emboldened them.

When they reached the window, Antonio carefully reached up and pinched the curtain to peek inside.

Inside, a group of people were drinking and eating meat.

Seeing the meat they were eating, Antonio shuddered, but at the same time, he also saw a pot of freshly steamed buns on the table.

Just because of this, Antonio thought, he and Long Tianjiao couldn’t leave.
