Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges

Emmett glanced at Jacob, whose expression was conflicted, and sighed expressionlessly. “You’re overthinking it

Jacob nodded sheepishly. “Not too much, right? Forget it, we’ll talk about it later

Hearing this, Chris approached with an indescribable look on his face and patted Jacob on the shoulder. “Bro, you’re really overthinking this”

Jacob turned his head to look at Bruce, who appeared coll, and Frankie, who appeared casual and carefree. So, what exactly am I overthinking? he wondered.

Yvette led a dozen people along the footprints and traces left by the figures earlier, walking for about half an hour before arriving at a dense forest Yvette’s gaze was deep and sharp. She turned to the people behind her, her voice cold, low, and deep. “Once we pass through this forest, there will be a river. Beyond that river lies the cannibals territory. In this river, there are at least twenty or thirty giant crocodiles. The only way to cross the river is to kill them all.”

Yvette lowered her gaze, her eyes indifferent, with a slight raise of her delicate brows. Ah, it’s been a while since I’ve last seen these little cuties, she thought.

Jeremiah’s gaze was deep as he looked at everyone, his voice cold. The aura around him grew even more imposing. “Be prepared, and don’t let your guard down.”

Everyone nodded. Emmett, Bruce, Chris, and Frankie all wore serious expressions. They knew well that the giant crocodiles Yvette mentioned likely had similar destructive power to the massive python they encountered on the first day. Otherwise. she wouldn’t have specifically warned them. However, they were no longer the same as they were six days ago. Without a doubt, another b***dy battle awaited them soon.

Compared to Emmett and the others, Jeremiah’s soldiers, despite having faced the dangers of the rainforest, were still skeptical of Yvette’s claims. How could she know there’s a river without crossing the forest? And how would she know about the giant crocodiles in it? Or that beyond the river lies cannibal territory? It all seemed too far-fetched to believe, they thought

The soldiers’ duty was to obey orders. So, even though Jacob and the others didn’t believe Yvette, they still dutifully followed Jeremiah’s instructions, preparing for battle and donning their waterproof gear. After making all the necessary preparations, the group continued forward. Sure enough, after passing through the dense forest, they saw the river Yvette had mentioned. The river rushed like a wild stallion, its waters muddy and filled with a nauseating stench.
