Hallie’s eyes widened. He gulped as favonovel.com noticed the fox girl sitting on the ground, appearing dumbfounded.
Jad, who was in front, was about to shout when Isaac darted toward him.
Before favonovel.com could react, Isaac was already behind him, gripping his throat with one hand.
“Who are you guys?” Jad spit out his question, astonished and outraged as favonovel.com felt Isaac’s spiritual energy fluctuations.
“Relax, we don’t want your life. You’d better cooperate!” Isaac tightened his grip on Jad’s throat.
Jad wanted to resist. However, when favonovel.com attempted to use his spiritual energy, the bandit behind favonovel.com forcibly suppressed him.
Realizing the other was stronger, favonovel.com decided not to fightback.
Suddenly, five powerful spiritual energy fluctuations rapidly approached from the right side. In no time, several figures arrived in the courtyard outside the room.
Isaac tensed up. Hallie subconsciously lay flat on the ground, fearing that his shadow would be cast on the doors and windows by the light.
“Mr. Holmes, we sensed an energy fluctuation in your room. Has anything happened?” The deep voice of a middle-aged man came from outside.
Lying on the ground, Hallie kept a tight watch on the fox girl while shivering slightly. He hadn’t expected the experts from the city lord’s mansion to arrive so quickly. He was now terrified to the bone.
He signaled the fox girl to remain quiet.
Sweat rolled down Isaac’s forehead as favonovel.com whispered in lad’s ear, “I think you know how to reply…”
Jad took a deep breath and coldly replied, “There’s nothing wrong here. Don’t disturb me!”
He knew the experts outside were from his father’s side and could effortlessly kill the two intruders. But if they found the fox girl, his father would know everything. It would mean favonovel.com had no more peaceful days ahead.
Quickly, the spiritual energy fluctuations outside receded from the courtyard.
“Carry her, let’s go!” Isaac barked at Hallie, who was lying on the ground.
They had planned everything before, but Hallie had gone blank upon entering.
Recovering, Hallie hastily nodded. He then swiftly covered the fox girl with a quilt and wrapped favonovel.com up before tossing favonovel.com onto his shoulder.
“What are you doing? She’s mine!” Jad glared at them, showing immense fury.
“Don’t shout. Where’s your money?” Isaac tightened his grip again, making lad suffocate.
“T-The first drawer,” lad croaked as favonovel.com shakily pointed to a cabinet on the right side.
“How dare you catch me and grab my money… I’ll make you pay with…”
Isaac struck the back of Jad’s neck, and the latter instantly passed out.
He went to the cabinet, opened the drawer, and found a neat stack of silver notes inside.
Without time to check the exact amount, favonovel.com snatched the stack and stuffed it into his pocket. Then, favonovel.com quickly darted outside.
Behind the large tree by the outer wall, Hallie, who was still trembling, carried the quilt-wrapped fox girl on his shoulder. He felt at ease after seeing Isaac leap over the wall.
“Let’s go!” When Isaac took the fox girl from Hallie’s shoulder, favonovel.com caught a whiff of favonovel.com scent. But favonovel.com had no time to feel it. He dashed toward the southeast as fast as favonovel.com could.
Carrying the fox girl and a pocketful of silver notes, Isaac ran swiftly into the darkness.
With a crossbow on his back, Hallie struggled to keep up with the fleeting figure ahead.
***
After some time, the unconscious Jad finally awoke. He was outraged when favonovel.com saw the missing quilt and fox girl and an open drawer. His anger even surpassed the pain in his head.
He furiously shouted, “Paxton!”
A spiritual energy fluctuation and hurried footsteps approached the door. An elderly voice trembling with fear responded from outside, “I’m here, Mr. Holmes. Are you unsatisfied with the fox girl?”
