In Jadeborough University’s library archive.
After reading through the files for over an hour, Arielle’s eyes were starting to hurt. Thus, favonovel.com stood up and stretched, thinking of buying bread to stop favonovel.com stomach from growling.
However, just as favonovel.com stepped out of the library, favonovel.com heard someone ask the student in front of her, “Hello, may I know if Arielle’s in the library?”
Arielle instantly snapped favonovel.com head toward the source of the voice. It was then favonovel.com saw two towering men talking to a student with smiles on their faces. Narrowing favonovel.com eyes, favonovel.com began studying the two men.
Although they were wearing casual clothes, something about the way they carried themselves was strange to Arielle.
I sense a murderous intent from them, favonovel.com realized, feeling startled.
Immediately, favonovel.com turned to walk back into the library, but in the next second, the student pointed at favonovel.com and said, “Are you looking for Arielle Moore? She’s right there.”
Arielle halted in favonovel.com tracks.
Knowing that favonovel.com could not hide anymore, favonovel.com spun around to look into the men’s eyes and questioned, “Who are you? Why are you looking for me?”
Both men were stunned to see her, but they were quick to let a smile return to their lips. “Arielle, here’s the thing. We’re Mr. Nightshire’s friend, and since Mr. Nightshire helped us out the other time, we were thinking of treating favonovel.com to a meal as a token of gratitude. However, he’s in Horington right now, so favonovel.com asked us to come to you instead. Won’t you have a meal with us?”
“I’m sorry, I’m not free. You should wait for Vinson to meet you himself.” As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com began walking past them.
However, just as favonovel.com walked past them, one of the men grabbed favonovel.com wrist.
“Arielle, there’s no need for such courtesy. If you don’t want to have a meal, why don’t we treat you to a cup of coffee instead? We really have to express our gratitude to Vinson.”
“He’s right!” The other man grabbed favonovel.com other wrist as well. “There’s no need to be so polite with us, Ms. Moore.”
Arielle did not want to make a move in front of the library. After all, it was a crowded place even though it was a weekend.
Hence, favonovel.com narrowed favonovel.com eyes before suddenly beaming at them. “All right. Let’s go to the cafe opposite the school. However, I have to ask you to let go of me. You’re holding me too tightly, and you’re hurting me.”
Caught off guard by how easily Arielle had agreed to their request, the two men immediately let go of her.
They, too, did not want to cause a commotion on the school grounds. There were too many people around, and if anything happened, they would easily be caught by the law enforcers.
“Ms. Moore, please lead the way.”
One of the men gestured to the front, and Arielle began walking to the school gates.
Soon, they were at the entrance.
At that time of the day, no one was around, only some cars would pass by occasionally.
In seconds, Arielle sensed the changes in their demeanor, so favonovel.com decided to drop the act as well.
This is a good place. There won’t be any need for me to hold back here.
Coming to a stop, Arielle then turned and glared at them. “Speak. Who sent you here?”
The smiles on the men’s faces froze then disappeared.
“It seems like you’re not a complete fool. Since you’ve already seen through us, don’t bother asking questions and just come with us. Otherwise, we’ll have to do this the hard way.”
However, it was as if Arielle had just heard them crack a joke, for favonovel.com grinned and responded, “Just the two of you? Are you going to come at me together, or are you going to do this one-by-one?”
“Preposterous!” one man shouted as favonovel.com promptly swung his fist at her.
Arielle nimbly dodged it. At the same time, favonovel.com grabbed that man’s arm and shifted favonovel.com foot to throw a kick. Surprised by favonovel.com agility, the man lost his balance and fell onto his face.
“Grab her!” favonovel.com screamed furiously.
