Apocalypse Prefer the Beast World Real Estate Market (Joyread) novel Chapter 231

Chapter 231 Taken

Finished

The pit reeked of blood. Micah searched through piles of torn flesh, his heart pounding as he looked for any sign of Rosalie. Every step felt heavier than the last.

Before long, Cameron and the others arrived.

Together, they searched the pit inch by inch. Each time they saw a piece that even looked like it might belong to Rosalie, their breath caught in their throats.

But after turning over every blood-soaked lump, there was still no sign of her.

Cameron’s voice cracked in despair. “Do you think… she was crushed so badly and there’s nothing left?”

No one answered. A thick silence fell over them, heavy with grief.

Micah shook his head firmly.

“No. That’s impossible. Even if she fell from that height, there would be something left behind.”

He pointed to the remains. “These pieces are too big. They’re Bert’s.”

A thin thread of hope remained. Maybe—just maybe-someone had saved Rosalie.

When they climbed out of the pit, Leon picked up a piece of animal hide from the ground.

Everyone’s eyes locked onto it.

Declan said, “That’s the animal hide I gave to the matriarch. She’s not dead.”

They all let out a breath they didn’t know they were holding. Relief washed over them, but it didn’t last long.

If all of them were here, then who had taken her?

Rosalie’s head felt heavy. Sharp pain stabbed at the back of her skull.

She opened her eyes, but everything was black. Something was covering them.

Rosalie tried to move. Her hands and feet were tied.

She forced herself to stay calm and called out in her mind. “System… hello?”

A broken, crackling sound answered her.

“System… bzzz… Energy depleted. Entering sleep mode.”

With a final buzz, the system went completely silent.

Rosalie’s heart sank. Now she understood. That fall should have killed her. The system had used every bit of its power to protect her.

She clenched her teeth. She couldn’t just lie here and wait.

Chapter 231 Taken

Bert was clearly dead. Who had pupnapped her?

She felt around the ground, searching blindly. Then she heard footsteps.

Rosalie immediately pretended to be unconscious. A quiet voice whispered, “Rosalie, it’s me.”

“Reid?” she whispered back. “What are you doing here?”

Finished

The pupnapper could come back at any moment. Rosalie was alone, and she was pregnant. It was far too dangerous.

But Reid was here now. Since they hadn’t been discovered yet, they had to escape while they could.

“Quick,” she whispered. “Help me untie the ropes. We need to leave.”

Reid worked fast and loosened the rope around her wrists.

It had been tied so tightly that red marks circled her skin. Whoever tied her up clearly hated her.

As soon as her hands were free, Rosalie tore off the black cloth covering her eyes.

Light rushed in. She realized she was inside a cave.

Rosalie quickly untied her feet as well, grabbed Reid’s hand, and pulled him toward the exit. Someone walked in just then.

Sienna looked wretched. She dropped the firewood she was carrying onto the ground.

“You?” Rosalie said in shock.

Bert had chased them for a full day and night. Had Sienna really forced herself to follow them all the way here too?

Reid slipped behind Rosalie, trying to hide. Sienna spotted him right away.

Anger flared in her eyes. Her voice turned sharp and harsh. “Reid! You little brat! You have so much fun running wild out there, don’t you?

“Get over here. Now!”

Reid tightened his grip on Rosalie’s hand. She could feel how tense he was.

Rosalie shouted, “Why did you bring me here? What do you want from me?”

Sienna let out a strange laugh. She pulled a bone knife from her clothes.

Rosalie’s heart dropped. That knife looked familiar.

She reached behind her back. Nothing. Her bone knife was gone.

Sienna looked at her and smiled.

Rosalie understood at once. Her knife had been stolen from her.

Chapter 232 Rosalie in Danger

She only spared a quick glance at Reid’s fast-fading back, then fixed her eyes on Rosalie.

Finished

Rosalie’s heart jumped. In the next second, Sienna suddenly lifted her arm and lunged at her with a knife.

Rosalie dodged and tried to run for the cave entrance.

The sharp blade sliced down behind her. She had no choice but to turn back and grab Sienna’s wrist, stopping the tip from driving in.
