Chapter 350 The Ones Who Want You Dead
Milly was jolted awake.
The two kidnappers had procured a van from who knows where. It was old, noisy, and their reckless driving made her feel nauseous.
She had barely opened her eyes when one of the kidnappers noticed her. He sneered, “Hmph! Impressive stamina. You woke up less than an hour after being drugged.”
Milly looked up and met a pair of amber cyes.
This man was lean but fit. Clearly, he was someone who trained regularly. His features were harsh, and he was cleaning a black pistol.
Wait a minute, why did he look so familiar? Have I seen him before?
Milly observed him silently. Her body was tensing with alertness. She asked, “Who are you?”
The driver had a cigarette dangling from his mouth. He exhaled a cloud of smoke without regard for the others in the van. The driver answered, “We’re the ones who want you dead.”
Milly squinted. She analysed the situation calmly and said, “I don’t know you, and I have no conflict with you. Why did you kidnap me? Maybe you’ve got the wrong person?”
The skinny man across from her let out a chilling laugh. He wore an eerie expression as he said, “Whether you know us or not doesn’t matter. What matters is that you’re the girlfriend of our mortal enemy. Blame yourself for being blind and choosing the wrong man.”
Girlfriend? Mortal enemy? Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Who are they talking about?
“I don’t know who you’re talking about. I’m just an ordinary person. I don’t know your mortal enemy, you must have the wrong girl.”
Milly said this while carefully trying to loosen the ropes binding her wrists behind her back. She was carefully looking for any opportunity to escape. Thankfully, she was wearing long sleeves today, and the bracelet hidden beneath them hadn’t been taken.
If they dared to steal the keepsake from Rosa, she wouldn’t hesitate to kill them.
The skinny man seemed to notice her movements. He let out a cold sneer and tossed the cloth aside. Then, he pressed the polished gun to Milly’s forehead and asked, “Still playing dumb? It’s fine. It doesn’t matter if you’re the right person. Now that you’re in our hands, you won’t survive.”
“And stop trying. The rope contains snake bile. The more you move, the tighter it gets.
The gun was so close that she could smell the faint scent of gunpowder..
Milly cooperated. She stopped her movements and stayed silent. She couldn’t get any information from them, so there was no point in antagonising them. It wouldn’t benefit her at all. She couldn’t escape now. Since they hadn’t killed her on the spot, she still had some value to them. They needed her alive.

Fortunately, before leaving home, she had propped up her phone. If the servants or her brothers saw it, they would definitely try to find her.
So, the most important thing now was to do all she could to stay safe.
Since Milly stopped speaking, the skinny man had put away his gun. He grabbed the back of the seat and agilely climbed into the passenger seat. “How much longer?”
The driver dragged his cigarette and replied, “I took a shortcut. Ten more minutes at most.”
“Good, hurry up. This woman is from the Burnetts of Halturia. If they find out, we’re in trouble. We need to get back quickly
The driver didn’t seem worried. He glanced in the rearview mirror, and his gaze was one of lecherousness. “What’s with the hurry? Even if they find out, it will take time for them to catch up. Aside from that, we’re not on the main road. It’s not easy for them to find us. You were right, Monkey. This woman is quite a looker. Should we…
Before he could finish, the man in the passenger seat kicked him hard and causing the van to swerve.
“What the hell, Monkey! Why did you kick me?”
Monkey gave him a fierce glare and warned, “Are you smoking your brains out? I suggest you keep your filthy thoughts to yourself. The sect master hasn’t given any orders. If you touch her now, not only will the Shadow Palace not spare you, but even the sect master won’t let you off!”
The driver steadied the van after much effort. He was startled when his peers roared at him, but he also realised Monkey was right. He refrained from arguing and quietly murmured, “I was just saying. Of course, I know we can’t.”
Monkey snorted and closed his eyes, saying no more.
In the back, Milly heard their conversation and pondered their words. Her mind was racing as she thoughts about the terms they mentioned.
Shadow Palace… sect master…
The names sounded so familiar, like she’d heard them somewhere before.
Suddenly, a lightbulb went off in her head. Back in the hospital, she remembered hearing about the Shadow Palace and the Ghost Sect when Scarface was around. She had made a mental note because the names sounded ominous.
When she recalled this, she understood why she found that man familiar. Back then, he was the one Scarface had subdued!
It all made sense now. George had conflicts with these factions. Since this man named Monkey saw her with George, they naturally thought capturing her would be a way to get to George.
Fortunately, George had lost his memory and didn’t remember her. He wouldn’t come to rescue her, which meant he was safe. She wouldn’t want him to end up dead while trying to save her.
For the first time, she felt grateful for George’s amnesia.
Maybe this was fate.

After a short while, the van finally stopped.
Milly felt a wave of relief wash over her. That driver’s terrible driving skills had almost made her throw up. and the van recked of cigarette. It smelled awful. Even her high–end, custom made blouse was now saturated with the smell.
The two men then roughly pushed her out of the van.
The first thing she saw was an abandoned factory. Oil and decay filled the air, while waist–high weeds overgrew the entrance. The place looked desolate and eerie, especially in the silent night. If not for the guards at the door, she would have thought the place was empty.
