Elisa extended her hand. “Can you untie my hands? Or would you prefer to pull down my pants for me?”
That person was left speechless for a moment by Elisa's audacity. Shouldn't I be the one saying that?
Ironically, he really did foolishly untie it for her.
After their hands were untied, Elisa and Rachel walked behind the big tree.
This tree must be ancient, having a circumference as wide as requiring three adults to fully embrace it. There was no need to worry about being seen there.
Elisa gave Rachel a look.
The person outside constantly peered in their direction, wishing desperately that he had x-ray vision.
Suddenly, there was the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.
Suddenly, Elisa's shoes appeared outside the tree trunk, followed by Rachel crying, “Come over here quickly. She fainted!”
The man hurried over, his eyes widening in surprise at the sight of Elisa, unharmed. Before he could utter a word, he was struck from behind.
Immediately after, he fell unconscious.
Elisa threw down the stick. She searched the man and found a gun that was loaded with bullets.
Rachel's eyes widened. Firearms are strictly prohibited in this country. So, these people...
Before Rachel could think further, Elisa grabbed her hand, and together, they fled from that place.
Because they were unfamiliar with the area and unsure of which territories belonged to Mr. Carrerra, the two of them dared not recklessly seek help and merely desperately tried to escape that area.
After much difficulty, they found a deserted three-story farmhouse nestled against a hill. Both of them, out of breath, decided to rest for a while, planning to seek help and find a vehicle once daylight broke.
Elisa took a careful look at the structure of the house. It had three levels, each approximately around a hundred square meters.
The three-tiered window opened right onto the hillside, providing direct access to the mountain from there.
Elisa stared out the window for a while, a peculiar emotion crossing her eyes. This should be the last way out, not for me, but for Rachel.
