Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1137: This didn't look calm to me.

"Uhh..." Allen, who had just returned after grabbing a few drinks, stood around the bonfire. He looked around, the lines between his brows deepening.

"Where is everybody?"

His face scrunched up in dismay, seeing that no one was around the bonfire anymore. If not for the other items left behind, he would think that everyone had left and forgotten about him.

"Where... did they all go?"

According to Mint, there was one reason she was also in town. Aside from her big love for Benjamin, she had other things to investigate in the town. Meeting Penny and seeing Zoren along the way was just a bonus.

The main reason she came home was because of this small gang that had seemed to make a base in the area. In an isolated town like this, it wasn't surprising that some wicked people would set up shop and call it a business, only to exploit the townspeople for this so-called "protection."

Looking into them was what kept Mint preoccupied for the past few days.

But aside from the fact that this was beyond Mint's jurisdiction, the police seemed to be along with it as well. After all, when Mint went there to file a report, nothing was done. She could do something about the police station here, but there was a due process she had to follow.

"So, you're saying... after days of looking into this, you haven't found their base?" asked Zoren as they were headed to a certain store on rented bicycles.
