Chapter 256 - Had Been Stolen
Chapter 256: Had Been Stolen
“It’s true that it’s getting late. Let’s set up our tents here,” Adrian said as he looked at an empty space in the distance. He pointed there and turned to look at Audrey and the others.
“That’s fine too,” Cole agreed.
It was not too far from here anyway, and they could have their own privacy.
Klein shot a glance at the girl who had been unconvinced by Audrey. He walked to Audrey’s side resolutely and pulled her hand to the side to rest.
“Leave the matter of setting up the tent to Cole and the others. Let’s take a rest first.” Klein gave Cole a look and pulled Audrey to sit down on the stone.
The tent was set up very quickly. Adrian waved at Audrey and Klein. “Audrey! Klein! The tent is ready. Come over quickly!”
Angeline was still bitterly setting up the tent by herself. From the corner of her eye, she noticed that Audrey and Klein did not know what they were talking about. Audrey laughed so hard that it was dazzling.
That night, everyone gathered around the fire to eat.
After everyone had settled the problem of eating, Hobart brought up the topic.
“Let’s discuss how to find other teams to work with us to open the gates and leave the snow mountain.” Hobart looked around and swept his gaze across everyone’s faces.
Barbara and Ross sat beside Audrey. After hearing Hobart’s words, they subconsciously looked at Audrey.
“I’m worried that those teams are up to no good,” said Klein. His gaze brazenly fell on Angeline, who had her head lowered and did not say a word.
Angeline’s face turned green with anger. She had thought of a good idea, but she forced down the smile on her lips.
“I’m going out to get some fresh air,” said Angeline, as though she was angered by Klein’s words.
The remaining people were still engaged in a heated discussion. First of all, they excluded the mysterious man and the teams that did not get along with Audrey.
They suddenly realized that they did not know any other teams apart from these teams.
“Sigh! It’s really too difficult to leave the snow mountain!” Hobart said helplessly as he placed his hand on his forehead.
In particular, they had the Snow Lotus in their hands. They would definitely attract a lot of enemies and snatch the Snow Lotus from them.
He almost suspected that the Elder was messing with them on purpose.
After Angeline left, she first walked to the opposite side of Audrey’s tent. Then, she sneaked from the back of the tent all the way to Audrey’s tent.
“Hmph! So what if you guys have the Snow Lotus!? It’s not mine at all! It’s only because you have the Snow Lotus that you’re so arrogant!” Angeline kept mumbling, she searched for the Snow Lotus in Audrey’s tent in the dark.
After getting used to the darkness, Angeline quickly found the Snow Lotus. Then, she carefully came out of the tent and returned to the bonfire as if nothing had happened.
“What did you do just now?” Cory sat next to Angeline and felt someone sitting next to him. He turned to look at Angeline and asked curiously.
“I wasn’t in a good mood just now. My chest felt a little stuffy, so I went out for a walk,” Angeline said perfunctorily. She lowered her eyes so that no one could see the expression in her eyes.
“Alright, let’s see if there are any teams willing to team up with us tomorrow!” Audrey said.
“I think everyone is a little tired. Let’s go back and rest up. We’ll wait for someone to team up with us tomorrow.” Audrey yawned after she said that. She was a little tired.
“Alright.” Klein and the others nodded as well.
Audrey looked at Ross and Barbara’s team.
“Us too.” Ferrier nodded and was the first to answer.
Audrey always felt nervous on the way back to the tent. She had a bad premonition.
Could something have happened to the Snow Lotus? Audrey’s heart thumped as she quickened her pace.
As expected, she’s gone! Audrey returned to the tent and flipped open the place where the Snow Lotus was hidden. As expected, it was empty inside.
Audrey’s expression did not look too good. She had thought that Barbara and Ross’ team would be better, but she did not expect that no one would know a person’s true colors. Some people had evil intentions.
“Everyone, come out!” After Audrey calmed down, she calmly walked to the bonfire and shouted.
At this moment, no one had fallen asleep. After hearing Audrey’s voice, they hurriedly came out of the tent.
Angeline slowly walked out of the tent, yawning. Her expression was unfriendly. “What are you up to this time?” She asked despite knowing the answer.
Audrey had already set her gaze on the three of them.
Barbara and Ross would never do such a thing. After all, they were in the same dormitory. If something were to happen, it would be easy to find out. In addition, Audrey believed that they were not people who would do such a thing.
It was even more impossible for Hobart and the others.
Therefore, the scope of suspicion was narrowed down to Angeline and the other two.
“Snow Lotus is missing!” Audrey crossed her arms over her chest and said calmly.
When she said this, everyone’s expressions turned ugly.
“How could she be missing!?” Klein was even more shocked.
“Could it be that you forgot to put it somewhere?” Ross guessed as she frowned slightly.
Cole did not think so. Audrey had always been very cautious, so it was impossible for her to forget where she put it.
“Do you think everyone is like you?” Barbara grabbed Ross’ wrist and said with a smile.
Then, it would really be stolen by someone. It was an insult to them that someone had stolen something right under their noses.
They were known to be strong, yet someone had stolen something right under their noses!
If they were caught, they would be punished. Adrian thought to himself.
