The Genius Mage

Chapter 257: Body Search

“Someone stole it.” After Audrey said that, she swept her gaze across everyone’s faces.

Klein and the others did not change their expressions. Only the three people in Barbara’s team were the most suspicious.

Cory and Ferrier only knew that Audrey and the others had obtained the Snow Lotus, but they did not expect that someone would be so bold as to steal the Snow Lotus.

“First of all, it’s impossible for the people in my team to do such a thing. Barbara, Ross, and I are in the same dormitory. It would not look good if they stole it and I found out that they did such a thing, so…” Audrey crossed her arms across her chest, she walked in front of the three of them with a sullen face.

Angeline took a step back, feeling a little guilty. She kept telling herself not to panic.

“Audrey, I advise you to search carefully again. Don’t misunderstand us because of this matter and create a rift between us,” Cory said, his expression as calm as ever.

He also had his own selfish motives. He had been sitting beside Angeline. From the beginning to the end, Angeline was the only person who had left the bonfire. If the Snow Lotus had been taken by someone else, Angeline would be the only one left.

However, if Angeline had really escaped this calamity, then the Snow Lotus would be theirs.

Angeline nervously swallowed her saliva. Her hands, which were hanging by her side, could not help but clench together, leaving nail marks on her palms.

“Of course, I won’t let there be any misunderstandings between us. There’s no reason for us to misunderstand you. After all, we still want to return,” Audrey said frankly, her blue eyes staring at the three of them.

Angeline’s palms were sweating profusely.

“You just can’t stand us. You’re framing us!” Angeline roared.

Everyone’s gaze fell on Angeline’s face. They did not understand why Angeline would suddenly shout like this.

Everyone stared at Angeline with strange gazes.

Angeline’s forehead was covered in sweat. She looked very flustered.

“Frame you?” Audrey sneered, “What reason do I have to frame you?” Audrey began to ask.

“You! You want to take away our tokens so that you can leave. We can only stay alone in the snow mountain to fend for ourselves,” Angeline said, she straightened her back as if this would give her enough confidence.

“Show me the evidence!” Angeline said, convincing herself in her heart. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case.

She was not as nervous as before.

“Evidence?” Audrey asked back.

Behind Audrey stood Ross, Klein, and the others. She felt like she was supporting Audrey.

“Yes! Evidence!” Angeline nodded and said with her head held high.

“I remember that when we were discussing our team, Klein stabbed you and you left, right?” Cole said as he stared at Angeline with his eagle-like eyes.

Instantly, Angeline could clearly feel the cold sweat on her back.

“Don’t worry, there’s no need to be nervous,” Audrey said softly as she approached Angeline. On the surface, she seemed to be comforting her, but in fact, her eyes seemed to have seen through her.

“We’ll know who it is after a search.” Audrey shrugged and pretended to look elsewhere. In fact, she was paying attention to Angeline from the corner of her eyes.

Indeed, Angeline’s entire body tensed up when she heard those words.

In order to obtain the Snow Lotus, she had carefully wasted too much time. She had also been very careful when she returned. In order to not attract everyone’s attention, she had placed the Snow Lotus on her body.

Just now, Audrey had discovered that the Snow Lotus had disappeared in time. She had not had the time to hide the Snow Lotus at all. Fortunately, she had tossed the Snow Lotus away when she came out.

“That’s right. We’ll know who has it after a quick search. Whoever has it is the culprit,” Hobart said with a yawn, feeling a little sleepy.

After everyone finished speaking, Angeline suddenly felt relieved. After all, the Snow Lotus was not on her.

After a thorough search, no one had it on them.

Audrey had been observing Angeline from the beginning to the end. She found that the other party was calm, which meant that she was confident that she would not be able to find the Snow Lotus.

“Can you do it now? You must have lost it yourself. I’m sleepy. Go back to sleep,” Angeline said.

How could there not be any? Cole was sure that Angeline was the one who had taken the Snow Lotus away. After all, she was the only one who had left.

“Wait!” Audrey called out to Angeline, who was about to turn around.

“I have a crystal ball in the tent. The crystal ball can catch the culprit. Isn’t everyone curious about who the culprit is?” Audrey said with interest.

“Sure. Where do you keep your crystal ball? I’ll help you take it!” Klein had long disliked Angeline, so he said politely.

“Let’s all go together,” Audrey said. She led everyone to the tent and took out the crystal ball.

“It’s just a crystal ball.” Angeline still wore a fearless attitude, as if she really did not take it.

“Everyone, please take a look.” Audrey secretly added magic into her combat aura and touched the crystal ball, and the crystal ball appeared.

It was a stealthy figure who entered Audrey’s tent. Then, that figure took away the Snow Lotus, and her face was recorded by the crystal ball.

Seeing this, Angeline’s eyes widened, and she retreated repeatedly, wanting to escape.

“You thief, where do you think you’re going?” Klein dashed out and grabbed Angeline.
