Chapter: 1178

Victor remarked, "What are your plans once we leave the forest? Where will you be heading?"

"I don't know. I want to continue my travels and explore the world's finest rivers and mountains. I'll go to the police station when I can no longer walk and beg them to take me back," Shelia answered with a grin.

"Shelia." Victor appeared to have made up his mind after staring at

Shelia for a long time.

"What's the problem?"

"Please come with me after we get out of here. I'm sure my grandma will Like you. I will defend you if she doesn't like you. You can count on me."

"You want me to come with you?"

“Is it all right with you? If you don't want to, it doesn't matter."

Victor was concerned that Shelia might refuse.

Shelia paused for a while before asking, “Are you joking right now?"

“No, I'm not. I promise to treat you the best I can." Victor convinced her.

Shelia nodded and smiled at Victor, saying, “Okay. I'll agree when we get out of the jungle.”

"Sure."

The moment they emerged from the woods, though, everything changed.

The sun started to disappear below the horizon, basking the forest in a pale red glow that passed through the branches and leaves. The light glimmered on the bodies of Victor and Shelia.

They had been walking since high noon and now, the sun was setting.

Their tiredness was assuaged when they saw a relatively spacious country road.

“Finally, we're out of the forest. Maybe we'll meet Local villagers if we walk a little further. We can..." Before Shelia could finish her sentence, she saw Victor stop walking.

She was confused. She looked at Victor, wanting to know why he stopped.

"Van?"

“Well, well, well, I didn't expect you to come out alive." Norton's voice came.

Shelia looked for the source of the voice. She saw three cars that were parked not far from them. Norton stood at the front, looking at them intently as he played with a knife.

Shelia could feel right away that they were Victor's enemies.

She instinctively moved to shield Victor, who in turn stood protectively in front of her. Victor didn't take his eyes off Norton, watching his every move.

In a voice that only Shelia could hear, Victor said, “Run into the forest when I tell you to. You won't get Lost even when it gets dark.
