Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 66

After hearing Kaylee's explanation, everyone calmed down and the situation was temporarily under control.

Nydia and Hazel exchanged a worried glance.

"Violeta is missing? How is that possible? This place isn't that big. Can she just vanish into thin air?" Nydia questioned.

Kaylee replied, "We've searched everywhere and couldn't find her. We couldn't reach her phone either, and we're really worried about her now!"

"Are you sure you guys didn't see her?" Hazel asked firmly.

Nydia responded, "No."

Hazel lowered her gaze and suddenly remembered the conversation she had with the cheerleaders in the cafeteria earlier.

After lunch, those girls had gone missing too.

Could it be?

Hazel had a bad feeling about this. Did those fools pick a fight with Violeta?

Nydia noticed Hazel's expression but didn't say anything.

After getting their answer, Kaylee dragged Nolan along and they left.

As they took a few steps, Hazel's phone suddenly rang.

Everyone's attention turned towards her.

Kaylee and Nolan were about to leave, but they also turned to her at that moment.

Under everyone's gaze, Hazel took out her phone to answer the call. It was one of the cheerleaders.

"Hello?"

"Hazel! Please come and save us!"

Hazel's expression froze.

...

Five minutes later.

Everyone rushed to the small grove behind the cafeteria.

Violeta picked up her coat from the ground and dusted it off.

"Vio!!"

Seeing Violeta, Kaylee quickly rushed over and asked, "Vio, are you okay?"

Violeta smiled at them and said, "I'm fine. Why is everyone here?"

Nolan felt relieved when he saw that Violeta was fine. Then he turned and glared angrily at Archer, accusing, "You claimed you knew nothing!"

Archer insisted that he knew nothing.

"This woman is perfectly fine, right? Why are you all so nervous?"

"What's going on here?"

Everyone turned their heads to look behind Violeta, where they saw several cheerleaders from the sports school in the small grove. Those girls supported each other and cried miserably, each wearing a distressed expression on their faces. "Sob! Sob! Sob! You guys came. This woman is terrifying!"

Before they could attack Violeta, she asked them with a smile, "Have you ever heard of the cane technique?"

"The cane technique?"

They were puzzled. Violeta picked up a wooden stick from the floor and accurately struck each of them with it.

She called it "The Dog Strike!"

Those girls were miserably defeated.

Although they exercised daily in the sports school and had a much better physique than ordinary girls, they were defenseless against Violeta.

Each one of them was precisely struck. They ended up sitting under the tree, feeling sore all over their bodies.

Unable to bear it any longer, one of them called Hazel to come and save them.

Violeta put on her coat and said, "Nothing much! Just a friendly exchange."

Nolan looked at Archer coldly and said indifferently, "So this is what you meant by knowing nothing. Those from the sports school never change their ways!"

Archer's face darkened and was filled with gloom.

Even though he was in the dark, it didn't change the fact that someone from his school had taken Violeta.

The trio left the grove.

Hazel's complexion also turned grave as she angrily confronted the cheerleaders. She scolded, "What are you doing? Who told you to teach Violeta a lesson?"

The cheerleaders stood up and held onto their sore backs. One of them said, "Hazel, we wanted to help you."

Hazel was seething with anger. She felt as if her lungs were about to burst!

"You call this helping me? You've only made a fool out of me! I want to defeat her fair and square in the competition this afternoon! Leave now! Go back to school! Disappear from my sight now!"
