Chapter 58

“That bunch of useless idiots couldn’t even keep an eye on a woman!” The people whom Floch had found thought that they would be able to forever imprison Veronica in an inconspicuous mental hospital at the outskirts of Bloomstead without taking her life so that they could hide her away from the world. However, they never expected that she would escape.

It was obvious that the woman was in danger and she was resisting something or someone.

At that moment, Veronica couldn’t bear to stay put. She pulled the emergency lever and opened the trunk before she hopped out of the trunk and cried, “Let go of,”

“Before she managed to utter the last word of ‘her, the sight of the few men before her rooted her to the spot. She gaped at them, feeling totally astonished by what she saw.

Before her eyes stood five or six foreign men dressed in camouflage uniforms and berets. Their burly figures suggested that they might be mercenaries from other countries.
