Chapter 1156: Good boys

[PRESENT TIME]

Just a moment ago, Penny saw her husband drop to the floor. She saw it with her own eyes - how those men knocked out Zoren... or so they thought. If Zoren hadn't peeked at her briefly, she would've tossed all these men aside and shouted a change of plans.

But somehow, Zoren managed to stay awake. How? She had no idea. However, that also meant their plan was moving forward as intended.

'Still... that's strange,' she thought to herself. 'That Glenn person seemed willing to give up Third Brother and Benjamin.'

Zoren had probably seen that too. But after the person - who was supposed to get Slater and Benjamin — returned empty-handed and whispered something in Glenn's ear, things suddenly went sideways. Glenn's demeanor changed completely. After dealing with all sorts of people-both good and corrupt-Penny had a few theories.

One was that this was Glenn's plan. He might be greedy to the bone, but she knew he wasn't as sharp as he thought he was. And the second was that something had gone wrong-something even Glenn wasn't aware of until the soldier arrived. Maybe he couldn't afford to lose this deal, and thus, Glenn decided to resort to extremes.

If it was the latter, then...

'What happened?' Penny wondered to herself, letting the men drag her along while she acted like a sack of potatoes. 'Did they find Mint?'

Keeping her head low, Penny observed the men dragging her. 'I doubt they know Mint is already here. If not that, then what happened?'

As soon as that thought crossed her mind, her heart thudded in her chest. Penny pressed her lips into a thin line and held her breath.

'It's not that... something bad happened to Third Brother and Benjamin, _right?'

As Penny distracted herself with other thoughts until she reached their destination, the men holding her began to frown more deeply. The longer they dragged Penny, the heavier she seemed to get.
