Chapter 313 Betty’s Adventures
Just as Betty was carried into the manhole cover, Clan Mobius’s men chased after her.
They looked at the empty road and looked around anxiously. The leader said to his subordinates, “Split over and search carefully. She’s just a little girl. She can’t have run too far.”
The group of men spread out and searched carefully.
The leader also left.
Under the manhole cover, Betty was being hugged by a strong hand. Her mouth was also being covered tightly by another strong hand.
The raspy voice whispered in Betty’s ear, “Kid, don’t be afraid. I’m not a bad person.”
Betty was originally a little scared. She was suddenly brought to this dark place and it was even extremely smelly. She sure had every reason to feel scared.
She hugged the snake tightly in her arms, and the snake was forced to nestle in Betty’s arms obediently. Betty did not make a sound because the person covered her mouth with a lot of force. She could not move or make a sound.
It was so quiet that only the movements of the rats and insects below could be heard.
Above, Clan Mobius’s people searched for a long time before finally gathering at the same spot.
“We didn’t see her.”
Everyone reported.
The leader cursed indignantly and called his subordinates to leave.
After they were away for a while and they confirmed that those people would not return, the inconspicuous manhole cover by the roadside was forcefully pushed up.
Then, a disheveled man with whiskers all over his face crawled out from below with a little girl in his arms. However, when the man saw that there was a poisonous snake wrapped around Betty’s body, he felt his entire body stiffen.
So, not only was he carrying a little girl, but he was also carrying a poisonous snake.
The man’s face turned pale.
However, his face was too dirty. Coupled with his beard, no one could see his facial expression. In fact, they could not even see his face clearly.
Betty hugged the snake and looked at the bearded old man timidly. Her small body slowly retreated.
She felt that this dirty old man was very odd.
At this moment, they saw a gray and dirty van driving over not far away.
The van pulled up beside them and the window slid down. A thin young man stuck his head out.
He looked serious. “Louis, what happened to you? Are you injured?”
Hence, Betty saw the bearded old man say, “It’s fine. I’m still breathing. We have to leave this place quickly. The people over there will soon find this place.”
“Then hurry up and get in the car!” the young man in the car said.
A troubled look flashed across the bearded man’s eyes.
He looked over at Betty.
Betty also looked back at him. There was some wariness in her eyes.
However, at this moment, the thin young man asked, “Louis, where is this little girl from? Is she from Clan Mobius?”
It was obvious that other than Clan Mobius’s people, normal children would not be hugging a poisonous
snake.
The bearded man said, “I have no idea…”
Betty said, “I’m not. This isn’t a real snake. It’s a toy snake.”
She said timidly and innocently, her face filled with the innocence of a child.
The bearded man’s eyes twitched. “A toy snake?” He did not expect this child to be so good at lying.
It was clearly a real snake.
Betty said, “If you don’t believe me, look. It’s really a toy snake. She couldn’t even move.”
Betty lifted the snake up a little. The snake lay limp and motionless, looking like a toy snake.
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the bearded man and the thin young man.
They wondered if the snake was really a toy.
However, at this moment, a voice with a strong accent sounded from not far away.
