Chapter 114 The Fight Began
William nodded, glanced at the silent Walter, said no more, and went straight past the Tibetan Mastiff to find someone.
I was about to get up from the ground when a hand appeared in front of me to help. Looking at the well-defined and attractive fingers in front of me, I pursed my lips, didn’t reach out for help, but got up on
my own.
Upon seeing this, Walter fell silent, his handsome eyebrows slightly lowered in disappointment, slowly retracting his hand.
I avoided his gaze and followed William inside.
The spire was not large, but the darkness added a touch of fear.
This beast, Henry.
My eyes were bloodshot. William arrived before me. After a few seconds of shock, he quickly took off his suit and draped it over Rachel, lifting her from the pile of stolen goods.
The sudden loss of gravity jolted Rachel awake, and she screamed and struggled violently, “Don’t touch me, don’t touch me…” She flailed uncontrollably.
William held her tightly, soothing her aloud, “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, no one will hurt you, we are here to save you, don’t be afraid.”
Rachel couldn’t hear his words, her eyes were full of tears, and she was frantically scratching around.

I nodded, gripping her hand tightly, “Yes, it’s me, I’ve come to save you. Don’t be afraid, we’re going home soon.”
I tried to lift it up, but I had just had a miscarriage, and my lower abdomen was still faintly aching, so I couldn’t exert any strength.
“I’m coming!” William spoke. He was as tall as Walter, and with almost no effort, he lifted Rachel up.

William pursed his lips, holding Rachel, his face somewhat somber, “Henry, move away!”
Rachel, in his arms, seemed to tremble all over upon hearing Henry’s voice.

William’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, his complexion not looking too good. He looked at Henry and said, “Henry, we’re all just trying to get by. Today, I have to take this person away.”
