Chapter 43 The Wilderness (3)
Chapter 43 The Wilderness (3)
When Ronald first noticed that someone had been secretly watching him, he was worried that one of the supporting characters or one of the heroines from the plot had caught him red-handed.
However, the person who had revealed herself was someone he had never seen before...
And she seemed to be much stronger than Ye Fan?
Ronald didn't understand how someone this strong had suddenly appeared this early on in the story.
But after thinking about it for a few seconds, Ronald just assumed that the person he had encountered just now was just one of the heroine's friend who wasn't important to any of the plots whatsoever, so he decided to just continue on with his original plan.
"Don't make me ask you again, who the hel-" Before Ronald could finish his sentence, he was suddenly interrupted.
"Don't talk to me you lowlife scum." The woman retorted back at Ronald and then turned her head to face the Princess.
"Princess Sophia, are you alright? Did this scumbag do anything weird to you?" The woman asked the Princess with a concerned voice.
She had considered Princess Sophia to be her best friend ever since they've first met during their childhoods, so the moment she heard that her very own best friend had gotten kidnapped, she immediately contacted the Queen of the Leighton family in order to locate Princess Sophia and rush to her aid.
"Don't worry about me Sylvia! I suggest you should just forget about me and run away, this guy is extremely strong!" Even though Princess Sophia was glad that her best friend had showed up in order to save her, she was afraid that something bad might happen to Sylvia.
Although Princess Sophia knew that Sylvia was extremely strong, she was worried that Sylvia might end up suffering the same fate as Ye Fan back at the abandoned factory.
"Thank you for your concerns, but don't worry about me." Sylvia knew that her best friend was concerned about her getting injured and reassured her that everything was going to be okay.@@@@
Even though she considered Princess Sophia to be her best friend, she still kept a huge secret from her.
So what was the secret that Sylvia had been hiding throughout her entire life?
The secret was that she was a cultivator.
So despite the fact that her best friend was worried that she was going to get injured, Sylvia was absolutely confident that she could easily subdue the kidnapper and rescue her best friend easily.
After coming back to her senses, Sylvia quickly grabbed her sword again and hurriedly looked around for a few seconds to try and find Ronald before realizing that both Ronald and Princess Sophia was absolutely nowhere to be found.
***
After arriving at a cave right next to the mountain with the Princess, Ronald looked around the cave to make sure that they were at the right place, and then placed the Princess down.
"You're lucky that I didn't plan on killing your friend there." Ronald said to the Princess and then went outside of the cave in order to grab some sticks to make a campfire.
At first, Ronald thought about giving Sylvia a severe beating just like he had done to Ye Fan the day before, but Ronald decided to scratch that idea out of his head and just decided to leave Sylvia alone.
After all, his main purpose for kidnapping Princess Sophia was to just make the heroines see how terrible of a person he was, not to beat up random people for no absolute reason.
The only reason why he had beaten up Ye Fan to begin with was just to get payback for everything he's done to him in the previous life.
"..." Princess Sophia silently looked at Ronald while he started to head outside, and although she was grateful that Ronald decided not to hurt Sylvia, she still couldn't help but think to herself why Ronald, despite the fact that Sylvia had attacked him first, had decided to spare Sylvia's life and even let her go off scratch free.
And not only that, but thinking about it now, not once had Ronald even tried to kill anyone besides the tiger that was about to eat her despite the fact that he was targetted by so many people.
Thinking back to what Ronald had said back at the abandoned factory about being hired to kill Ye Fan and having a grudge against him, with all of the strength and speed that he had displayed so far, couldn't he have easily killed Ye Fan right in front of the cops the moment they appeared?
But yet all he did was just toyed around with the cops for a bit before escaping into the woods.
Although Princess Sophia knew that a lot of strong people loved toying around with opponents that were much weaker than them, she knew that nobody would go through such great lengths trying to hide deep in the forest in order to just to keep their opponents alive for a few more days...
Unless if their original goal was something entirely different...
'If he doesn't want to actually kill Ye Fan, then what could his goal for kidnapping me be?'
'And why did he only repeatedly beat up Ye Fan yet he decided to either knock everyone else unconscious or spare everyone else?'
'Also why doesn't he wear a mask whenever we're alone, isn't he afraid that I'll expose him?'
'Weird, there's definitely something more than what meets the eye...'
